Silly things that give you the rage

My English teacher would say the way to remember Stationary and Stationery
was stationARY “ AIN’T going anywhere and stionERY goes in an EnvElopE”

My ex and his insistence that im arguing with him when I say no im not arguing im just saying no doesn't matter if he doesn't agree with me the answer is no 🤷‍♀️

Nothing gives me "the rage" but many things make me quite angry. They include the expression "give you the rage."

Your post makes me feel bad for my DH.....
I have 0 need for affection or connection, or socialising (probably why he drinks) I'm not autistic but people think I am

😂😂, you should message him that, it's so annoying isn't it!!!

my ex does that all the time, only he doesn't even type the full sentence. It makes me want to throw my phone out the window. He often texts to ask after DC as he can't be around during the week but "give DC a goodnight from me if ok" "show DC this picture of their cousin opening a gift if ok" if ok.. if ok...
Please fuck off, IF OK!

People who add "if that's okay" to regular requests.

They aren’t silly things, though, are they??

Animal haters/abusers. Women haters/abusers.

Able-bodied people who expect disabled people on sticks/walkers to move out of THEIR way.

I'm 60, never married, and I don't like kids - chose never to have any when I was 6 - so all the piddly-minded idiots over the years who accuse me of being selfish for choosing to live my life how I see fit. I refuse to have the title of wife, mum, or gran.

Any type of porn/sexual stuff.

Men who send me direct/private messages on social media with their shitty chat-up lines and fake profiles, expecting me to lower myself to answer!

Religious nuts. I don't mean those who quietly go about their religion, but the brainless bores who desperately try to ram it down my throat, waffling on about sins and hell, when they know I'm an Athiest.

The worldwide obsession with coffee. I absolutely hate it and won't have anything to do with it, including in food.

People selling (used ) shoes in eBay where they picture them on a kitchen surface. Perhaps they disinfect the surface afterwards, who knows, but I just don't want to see shoes which have possibly walked in shit, placed on a food surface.

Shops in the UK that sell those jumpers "ooh that's a nice colour jumper "YALE" ffs never mind"

oh and my ex husband who I have to live with until the house sells and brings the other woman into the house when I'm not there grrrrrrrrrrrr

Leaves hitch hiking on my wellies and the one microwave at work that beeps loudly and constantly until you open the door - makes me so ragey haha :)

1. Dacia Dusters 😤
2. There was someone I stopped being friends with for various annoying reasons but this was one of them. You’d be in a round with her at the pub and she’d be practically licking the top of her drink so by the time the other three of us had finished our pints, she’d drank around 10% of hers. Yet, still she’d accept another drink from whoever was buying next 😤 It just meant we were CONSTANTLY waiting for her and it got so tedious. After several evenings of that, I just couldn’t stand it anymore.

When you arrange an appointment for your child fill in numerous forms online walk into the appointment only to be confronted with the "look" and the question "...and where is dad?" Not fucking here ffs "WORKING?" i used to reply i assume so but ds beat me too it the last time with "ive no idea not seen him for ages why?" It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't there for anxiety triggered by his dad fucking about and fucking off which was stated in the forms she claimed to be reading just before we walked in the door page one father absent address unknown

When professionals (dentist, doctor, optician, orthodontist) ring me about anything to do with my children, despite my husband being the person who last took them to their appointment and agreed XYZ at that appointment. It means I probably won’t know all the details and takes so much longer. It’s 2025, it is okay to not always ring the woman by default.

😂😆 why do people do it!!!

Looking in every cupboard for a bowl or a pan or a cheese grater because the person who puts the dishes away doesn't understand the allure of putting things back in the same place or that sometimes you have to move something to put an item away.

Websites that don't save your basket.

Websites that make you keep scrolling until you realise it's duplicating stuff.

Websites that take you back to the top of the page when instead of where you left off.

Since I’ve just seen it elsewhere on MN, ‘pack’ lunch.
It’s packED!! 🤬

We do the big shop online now, @MyLimeGuide - but when we did it in person, I was close to swinging for dh. He used to have to compare every price and pack size - cheddar was the absolute worst for this. I could do half the weekly shop in the time it took him to select a lump of cheddar. I just hope he didn’t annoy the other customers as much as he annoyed me!

Annoying couples doing the food shop together and discussing each item in great detail.

People who wear sweatshirts with things like “Yale”, “Harvard” or “Stanford” on the front. Particularly when they are about 13 and therefore no chance they actually attend these universities.

When I get out of bed in the dark and try to put my slippers on only to find that one of them is facing the wrong way and I'm trying to slide my foot into the heel.

Gives me the most uncontrollable rage!

That’s very understandable @literalbinbag.

It’s easier when you live somewhere like me (in Ireland) where Mc and Mac are pronounced the same. Of course the spelling can go a bit wonky then sometimes😁

In the Irish language Mac is pronounced Mock so that’s another alternative of course (some people use the Irish language form of their name and the Irish version is often used at school too). The abbreviation Mc isn’t used in Irish and the words are written separately (so for example McSweeney becomes Mac Suibhne).

I’m not sure how Mac is pronounced in Scottish Gaelic.
