Silly things that give you the rage

Thank you! Not just me then!

Less than half that. I just know that he's forever grumbling about it while my own phone gives me no cause for complaint. Mine cost £100, so it's not like I buy particularly expensive phones myself.

Exactly. In British English, they're homophones.

I also can't fathom how people are saying 'draws' and 'drawers' differently.

Oooo I would like to know!

I had a message on a package left by EVRI, saying 'package was left securely in the porch.'

1. It was not. It was left in front of my green wheelie bin at the side of my house.

2. I do not have a porch!!!

People who moan relentlessly about having a headache / cold / other minor ailment but will not take painkillers etc.

My DH does this. Moans about an ailment/being in pain (at say 2pm,) and when I say 'take some cocodomol and naproxen then' he says' I'll have them with tea. (Which is often 4 hours later!) So he sits there and 'suffers' all afternoon!

WHY?!!!! 😖

Multiple people walking in the swimming pool blocking the pool.

Urgh what annoys ME is people going 'swimming' in the local swimming baths, and standing in the shallow end, chatting away with their mate, and blocking the bloody swimming lane. For 5-10 minutes at a time. Fuck off out of the swimming pool if you're not going to swim. The clue is in the name!

Oooo I can tell you why they do this if you want

I really really hate this too. 😆 And yes, I have never heard ANYone say it in real life either!

Ohhh 😄 gotcha. I’ll admit, I only read through the first 10 or so posts. I actually had a mild panic though for half a second after replying, where I thought I’d been spelling it wrong all my life and was about to look like an absolute idiot.

Oh gosh I know - I now put my super market trolley behind me for a buffer zone - and in dunhelm!

a friend once said I just step backwards and go “oh sorry I didn’t know you were RIGHT behind me”

I'm taking the piss, and not out of you, but it's been a running-theme throughout this thread that "drawers" and "draws" are pronounced differently.

I - like many- cannot fathom out how the two words could be pronounced differently, but many others have disagreed.

Eh? If you’re saying that’s the wrong spelling, it’s not. Unless I’m misunderstanding?

Were.

I'm a pissy old git who won't tell in principle.

I'm not going to argue that point as I don't know you, but I will say that I believe everyone has the right to remain silent, and that when a business has had my money for product or service, I am not giving up my time on top of what I've paid to help them make their service better. Unless of course it's like Argos and Screwfix where they put me in with the chance of winning in a prize drawer. Pronounced the same as "draw" in this house.

"We value your feedback!". Do you really? I value my time, and if the service has been so shit that wild horses wouldn't drag me back, you can be even more sure I will never review your business so that everyone else can benefit from it.

Yes. "I personally..." well who else could you be? I struggle to find a time when the word "personally" isn't redundant, unless perhaps someone was to say "speaking personally and not of the the organisation who I work for..." or similar.

I remember someone telling me "I personally prefer an automatic car, myself"...I guess it's very important to them, seeing how they felt the need to mention three times who they were speaking about.

Me too. I openly admit to being a hypocrite in this area because I do use reviews myself and find them helpful. But I just can't be bothered to do them myself. I am a terrible human being!

What's a cheap phone? I've never paid over £170 for a phone and they've all done everything I have needed. Genuine question.

My husband’s inability to shut cupboard doors or drawers.

Are you pronouncing that differently from "draws"?

I know 4 people who do it, all women. So grating.

I asked one why she does it, when she said that's just how she sneezes, I asked if she'd do that in a Church, at a funeral or in the GP waiting room, turns out not!

Saying RIGHT for no reason at all. Meant to show assertiveness or such by some, but just looks and sounds silly.

People who nod along saying yeah, yeah, yeah when you haven't finished your sentence.

Peole who stand and hover over an empty seat on the tube, so blocking it from others. Sit or stand elsewhere!

When someone takes a large gulp of their drink and then slams down the mug or glass and says "Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!"

Obviously.

If that makes sense?

uptone? after every sentence

Ugh. People doing that anywhere gives me the rage! Actually I hate being around most people when they’re eating. I don’t understand how anyone can make a noise no matter what they’re eating!! It could be something soft yet there will still be plenty of chomping noises…aaarrggghhh I’m getting myself het up now 😂

People who watch video/play games at full volume on their mobile phones on a packed bus or train for whom it never crosses their minds that its seriously intrusive for everyone else. I feel like physically assaulting these people.

Passwords. Passwords everywhere required to do anything at all on the internet. And the need to save them down and create new ones and the endless ballache of it. I know they are needed and yes I know there are tools to store them it just makes life feel like you're walking through treacle.

My supposedly intelligent, university lecturer DH, puzzling over why his phone or tablet is, yet again, at 4% battery and about to shut down, when, yet again, despite there being numerous charging leads both up and downstairs, he, yet again, hasn't plugged the fucking device in to charge. I honestly think he thinks they charge from bloody fresh air. 🙄 Oh, and moaning about his cheapo shitty phone, when we have plenty of money for him to buy a half decent one, but he won't because he's a tight arse. Just buy a decent phone ffs, maybe then I wouldn't have to listen to you grumbling about your crap one. 🙄

Are you my husband? Regardless, sorry from a very dramatic sneezer.
