Mine today, it's nearly TOTM, I've donated blood tonight and so I feel quite weak and hormonal.
Dp offered to cook dinner tonight, I was having steak....he's fucking cremated the bastard thing!! A lovely 28day sirlion grey and thin looking. I could cry.

And DSS 15 is here there too, walked past me and ignored me when I said hi as he walked through the door. Nice.

I think I might have a hormone induced cry to sleep tonight.

Lazy work colleagues, seeing grown men weep when their footie team lose a match, noisy people on flats above, spitting, body odour

Borisjohnsonshairbrush · 19/11/2021 20:42

Spitting gives me the rage. If I see someone do it I'll happily shout out and call them a minging fuckturd. Xx

We should swap @Borisjohnsonshairbrush, I had a steak earlier that was so rare it was still shiny in the middle 😭 not to my taste!

For me, it’s been two different supermarket trips (one me, one DH) and we each forgot to buy a new box of tissues for downstairs. We’re both getting over colds so we’re now on the loo roll, which looks a bit odd on the coffee table.

People driving at 40mph… they drive at 40 in a 60 (I can forgive this) and then stay at 40 in a 30 zone…

Power point presentations ...

when they read out the points you can see and read for yourself.

BeyondMyWits · 19/11/2021 20:46

My dh has those socks with bright coloured toe and heel, and won't keep his bloody feet still. Continually moving just in my view. Drives me to the internal rage...

Houseofvelour · 19/11/2021 20:47

My DH leaving cupboards open.
It wound me up so much over the years that I had to have a sit-down talk with him about it 😂

Could also have written @eltsihT 's post!

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 19/11/2021 20:48

I have a thick and spiky hangnail on my right index finger and it’s torn the soft paddy bit on my middle finger to shreds.

Don’t really have the rage but it’s disappointing that my fingers have turned on each other in this manner.

Borisjohnsonshairbrush · 19/11/2021 20:50

@BeyondMyWits my DP holds the TV remote and plays about with it over and over again like it's a bastard fidget spinner.

TerribleCustomerCervix · 19/11/2021 20:52

I’ll sound like a total wanker here, but the “art” sold in The Range, Dunelm etc.

Rows and rows of reproduction, generic seaside landscapes or graphics saying shit like “this kitchen was made for dancing”.

It’s not even cheap, and you can get much nicer originals sold directly by their artists on Etsy etc.

Angryattrackandtrace · 19/11/2021 20:53

Whistling.

Make me want to kick them in the throat.

Boris Johnson. Whistling. Tail-gaters. Any of those ‘Love Island’ type shows. The whole ‘key worker’ debate, exacerbated by Facebook ‘frames’ and “I’m a key worker” car stickers. When bread tears as you butter it.

LadyCatStark · 19/11/2021 20:56

I was running late for an important doctors appointment this morning as DS missed his school bus and thankfully they were happy to wait 10 minutes for me but just as I was making up time and scheduled to get there for 5 past, I came up behind a van doing 25 miles an hour in a 60 zone with a queue of traffic behind do I couldn’t even overtake. He kept randomly slamming on his breaks to 20 mph on straight roads too causing everyone behind him to have to break too. There’s no need for that!

grooveonthemove · 19/11/2021 20:56

Motorists pootling along! FFS if you're lost, just pull over and let people get past you. Angry

Okbye · 19/11/2021 21:03

People who walk 2/3/more abreast and don’t make any effort to move or ‘tuck themselves in’ when I’m coming the other way (on the edge of the pavement as far over as I can be).

This is mainly on the school run, and I’m seriously on the verge of just shouting ‘FUCKING MOVE!!!’ when they make no effort to.

BeyondMyWits · 19/11/2021 21:06

Oooo yes OP... the DH fidgeting with remote here too

And as others have said... whistling!

YesItsMeIDontCare · 19/11/2021 21:10

The Lindor advert. Seriously who the hell is eating a lindor chocolate by biting it in half?

BorderlineHappy · 19/11/2021 21:15

People not crossing at the green Man.
It's 2 feet away and it's taken you 10 minutes to cross.
You could have been there and back.

Gettingthereslowly2020 · 19/11/2021 21:17

Yes, whistlers. It should be a criminal offence to whistle.

Superdrug staff and superdrug in general. I like the products but it's an absolute ordeal walking up and down the long aisles. You eventually get to the till after queuing for ages and face an interrogation from the staff. "Do you have a beauty card? Do you want one? Are you sure? You'd get 10% off and I can put one through for you now? Would you like to buy some shower gel? Some toothpaste? Some hand wash?" NO, I JUST WANT THE ONE ITEM I CAME IN FOR!!! And yes, I'm very aware it is the managers who force the shop assistants to do it so I grit my teeth and silently seethe. I avoid going in superdrug where possible, it winds me up too much.
