People are sharing how their hormones made them do completely irrational things and the stories don’t disappoint
It started when the always followable Twinks had a question for people on Twitter.
As I have absolutely raging PMT I would like you to tell me the completey irrational things you have done whilst being under the influence of hormones.

She started with her own experience.
Hormones are weird. I can swing between calling a teaspoon a ‘filthy slag’ because it dropped on the floor, to crying uncontrollably at the dogs trust advert when the balloon gets stuck in a tree and OMG THAT DOG WILL NEVER FIND ITS OWNER pic.twitter.com/0U157tWcxI

One day when the twins were babies, I was cooking tea.
Their Dad walked in from work.
We said hi to each other and he went to see the twins.
I went back to cooking.
Now, I can’t remember exactly what it was, but sausages springs to mind.— Twinks (@tinytwink) July 1, 2019
As I was seeing to the pans, out of the corner of my eye I see him re enter the kitchen.
I then saw him look over the hob into the pand and ever so slightly turn his top lip up.— Twinks (@tinytwink) July 1, 2019
Without saying a word, I very calmly walked to the back door, opened it and threw EVERY FUCKING PAN OVER THE FENCE.

And here are some of the stories that people shared in response. They really, really didn’t disappoint.
1.
Baby brain made me forget the word “fridge” so I called it “the cold cupboard”. Boyfriend (understandably) laughed at this.
So I sobbed for an hour because he is an insensitive bastard.— Jemma (@jemilou) July 1, 2019

Stamped my hoover to death because the cord was too short. Husband said, ‘I’m not buying another one’. I shouted, ‘Well it was MY fucking hoover anyway’. I’m normally a nice person but the hoover was asking for it.

I’d had a row with husband. He went and got himself fish and chips for tea and nothing for me. As he walked past me carrying it on a plate, with one under punch that motherfucking fish and chips went everywhere 🤣🤣 If I wasn’t having any, nor was he.

My wife and 14 yr old daughter share the same cycle, during a midweek ‘episode’ I irrationally took my son, then ten, and walked to Henley (8 miles ish) and back, just to be the fuck out of there. Just a non- menstrual civilian.

Screaming obscenities at a fork that got itself stuck in the dishwasher cutlery tray.

Handed my notice in because, in the 24 hours or so I was in full PMT self-destruct mode, I managed to convince myself my employers were trying to get rid of me and I thought I’d deprive them of the satisfaction(?!). The horror I felt when the PMT cleared still makes me shiver.

Spent a whole building a wardrobe, the rail didn’t fit so I used it to smash the wardrobe to pieces in front of horrified husband. I then calmly put it all back in the box, sellotaped it up and returned it as “pieces were missing”. Pretty sure he’s still scared of me after that

I rang the vet to ask what I would do if my dog ever died and ended up crying hysterically down the phone. I was in a field at the time, with my healthy dog running round next to me.

My then husband came home from work to find me standing by the door sobbing. I was about 12w pregnant and a vegetarian. I eventually managed to get out between sobs “I…. need… some… chicken”. Made him drive me to a KFC and ate an entire bucket to myself, while still crying.

I made a colleague so scared while giving him a lift to the office that he got out of my car while it was still moving.

My Mum, whilst cooking dinner for friends and three small children, took a slightly burnt pavlova meringue out of the oven, carefully placed it on the kitchen floor, and proceeded to jump up and down on it until it was nothing but dust.

Went to deli to get husband’s fave cheesecake. Impatient husband pissed and bitching because I took so long, so I opened the car window and threw out his cheesecake.

I threw a pizza out the front door like a frisbee because it was ‘burnt’ (it fucking wasn’t). Then felt like a tit so went to pick it up, saw my neighbour shaking her head out the window at me, so threw the fucker again into her garden. I’m better than I expected!

I promised myself a little sleep when my teething toddler finally went down for a nap. I realised I’d spent most of his nap time watching TeleTubbies and didn’t turn it off because I wanted to find out what happened. I sobbed telling this to my husband when he got home from work.

Bought a sewing machine because I didn’t want to spend £15 on a new bag for the pack away travel crib. So I bought an £80 sewing machine to make the “free” carry bag out of an old duvet cover. Haven’t used it again since. 🤨
