Maybe its cos I'm peri but we were out for a meal and someone was eating chicken wings and being very meticulous about using a knife and fork to eat them and very slowly. It was holding up the next course for everyone. Do you have any examples of getting the rage over something silly 🤣

People who don’t understand how filter/zipper lanes work.

Posters on Mumsnet who are unnecessarily rude, and take overt offence to just about everything.

People who call an ambulance for non emergent ailments/injuries, because “if you go in by ambulance you’ll be seen quicker” - no you fucking won’t! If there’s not much wrong with you, you’ll wait just as long as anyone else in the same triage category as you, no matter how you/they came in, or be sent to the waiting room (and if you can wait, be thankful, it generally means you’re not dying!)

The fact that Mumsnet does now not capitalise your sentence when you return onto a new line of text.

People who say they are “a bit OCD” (if they, for example, bleach their toilet every day), or “that gave me PTSD” (after something happened that left them shaken up).

Hmm, maybe I’m just in a bit of a ranting mood today. 🥴

That’s it…let it all out.

Nice deep breaths…

Feel better? 😉

I was sat/I was stood instead of Sitting/Standing.

People pushing the bin right up to the wall so that when you press the pedal, the lid bangs the wall and damages the paintwork. That floor space is for the bin, it's fine for it to stand off the wall a bit.

'Hybred' car

'I did it off my own back': no, off your own BAT. It's a cricket analogy, scoring runs yourself rather than just racking them up because your batting partner is hitting them.

'Ibrufen' tablets

Licking fingers

People parking cars at garages with the driver door front level with the pump. You are now going to have to stretch all the way back to your fuel tank. Even more criminal on a small forecourt as you block the space behind. Drive up to your fuel tank being level with the pump!

People saying 'girls' when they mean women. Especially used for women working in an office, for some reason.

My mil says ‘ibrufen’.

But, i believe they were a brand name many moons ago, and it’s just stuck.

It’s so unnecessary, and she could definitely stop it if she wanted to.

She wouldn’t sneeze that loudly at a funeral, would she??
So, she can tone it down everywhere else, damn it.

People who say "Huh?" Instead of "what? Or "pardon? " They sound so gormless.

Ooh @SquashedSquid you're asking for trouble with that one 🫣

My stepsons say "AYE?"

Taking care of the ”mental load” at home. And making a long list of it all, which takes longer than actually doing the things on the list.

People who don’t know the difference between ‘His’ and ‘He’s’ - I see it all the time… they are 2 completely different words
People who start putting their shopping on the conveyor belt before i’ve finished putting mine on give me the rage!

That nobody else on planet Earth realises that

"Bought" = buy
and
"BRought" = bring

AND THAT THEY ARE NOT FUCKING INTERCHANGABLE 😖😖

EVERY SINGLE THREAD ON HERE -

"I brought myself a new coat"
I bought in my shopping from the car"

ARRRRGGGHHHHHHHH!

Well quite. He isn't exactly the Shake & Vac woman. Nor is the product on a par.

Also, people who say they have a bit of a migraine, if you had one you'd know about it!

FastMauveQuoter · 22/06/2025 15:28

Being asked for my email address everytime I buy something so they can send me an email receipt, no, give me a paper one!
Spit on the pavement, always bang in the middle.
People who just stop suddenly when you are walking behind them, totally oblivious.
Flies that wait till you open the door then come straight in, but never manage to fly back out!

JDM625 · 22/06/2025 15:27

-People at the supermarket that don't put the divider thing on the conveyor when they've finished adding their stuff to it

-All their shopping has been scanned through, and only then do they start faffing about looking for their loyalty card in their wallet or on their phone

-Then further faffing when they need to move money from 1 account to another. 🙄

Interior designers giving ideas for small rooms, then show a bathroom with a walk-in shower, free standing bath, loo, double sink and space for a chair.

Kitchen with room for a sofa, six seaster table and and island.

Bedroom, king or super king bed, chair, massive wardrobe, chaise lounge and free standing mirror.

I don't bother clicking now.

The new advert for Pepto-Bismol, with the jaunty song and dance demonstrating the different gastrointestinal conditions it treats, including diarrhoea. It is an awful ear-worm, and no-one needs to see a ‘cute’ dance move demonstrating diarrhoea.

Artifical scent added to product. I've just bought some cheap all in one dishwasher capsules and the whole of the ground floor of my admittedly small house now smells.

'a myriad of'. Myriad means 'many', so the a and of are redundant and infuriating.

It originally meant ten thousand, "A myriad things," is OK, but I agree with not using of. We say a hundred, a thousand, a million things etc.

I think it might be fair to say though, that the people with vagina/uterus/breasts, vulva, and people who menstruate is said a lot more though. (I hear it more anyway.)
