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 🤣

When people who don't recycle properly. I see my neighbours put everything under the sun in their recycle bin, and I have to fight the urge to sort it into the correct bins in the middle of the night 😂

People who sneeze more than, say, twice in a row
People who sneeze loudly - gives me the fucking rage

Yes, IABU

Oh me too. It’s like a red mist. Completely unreasonable 🤣

We have a bed with a head board and foot board so I make the bed with "prison/hospital corners" at the bottom. Every night my OH pulls it out on her side. Gives me the rage. I've even fixed it in the middle of the night before!! IABU but I can't honestly can't help it, there is no need to pull them out we're only short and it's a super king!

This would drive me insane. The first thing I do in a hotel is untuck the duvet, who wants to be all restricted while sleeping?

Those chunky, over the head bluetooth headphones. You look stupid.

I have really bad hayfever and frequently sneeze 4 or 5 times in a row. My husband does not have hayfever but sneezes loudly enough to wake the dead. You’d love us! 😂

DejaMooo · 22/06/2025 11:05

My cardigan getting stuck on door handles.

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

Gogglebox when he says "... and his little sister Sophie" it makes me so fucking angry

Couldyounot · 22/06/2025 11:00

People who complain about things and then reject any and all suggestions for how the things might be dealt with. Why not just admit that you enjoy pointless whinging?

SmashFlight · 22/06/2025 11:00

I have misophonia. So I want to stab people in the eye multiple times a day...

Most tautology but general consensus is the worst for me

My latest rage and ire is directed squarely at the Food Industry.

they discovered "the joys" of shrink-flation and now they're off, there's no stopping them.

Specifically but not restricted to Nescafé cappuccino which used to be 10 sachets in a box 18g per sachet, now they are down to 7 sachets and 14.5g per sachet.

Price has stayed the same, quantity and quality reduced.

so cynical 😡

People who think drawer and draw are pronounced differently.

They are ….

Ah yes, I agree, though I will add the onus is on the member of staff to acknowledge the person now in front of them...I find it really uncomfortable when I am standing there and no one has even looked up from their desk to make eye contact. Likewise when a counter is empty and you're waiting to be served, and a staff member walks behind the counter but doesn't acknowledge me...When I worked at British Home Stores in the 1990s, we were trained on all of this, in a training suite off the shop floor, before they'd let us near a customer.

Show quote history

Oh we did acknowledge them. Usually with an “I’ll just be a moment” gesture. Unfortunately some people seem to take this as a sign to launch into a detailed explanation of their issue but I can’t have two conversations at the same time. This work involved looking things up on customer records etc and I literally couldn’t search for two people at once. People just don’t seem to use their common sense any more.

I’ll add to the lack of common sense that irritates me - people who try to cram on to a train/tube when we’re clearly already packed in like sardines. Where do they think they will fit?

I’m

Hmm. Personally I can’t stand hospital corners, they make my feet feel trapped and I always pull them out straight away when staying in hotels etc. I’m not sure that’s got anything to do with a person’s height.

PersephoneSmith · 22/06/2025 10:50

I bought a single item from an online shop that used to be a catalogue company. I’ve had about 45 separate requests for ‘feedback’ about the item and it’s delivery 😡

chocolatemademefat · 22/06/2025 10:47

People repeating posts on here thinking they’re being witty and original. How many repeats do the ‘draw’ and ‘drawer’ posts need? It was boring to start with and doesn’t improve on the twentieth telling. Nothing to contribute? Don’t bother then.

You wouldn't believable how many times I have said "draw" and "drawer" today. I can't say the two words differently.

In a world of people who "ain't got no", "didn't have nothing", and say they "seen" something, "draw and drawer" seems to pale into insignificance.

Me too. I keep saying draw -er but it doesn’t flow at all.

I used to work on a service desk that got queries by phone and in person. People who try to talk to you while you’re in the middle of a call helping someone else. You can see I’m on the phone, actively having a conversation with someone. Wait!

When DH sneezes he goes onto sneeze about 4/5 times more… then a break of 20/30 seconds and then 3/4 more times

Drives me to murderous boiling point - I hate it. Once it reached 13 sneezes all in - I had to leave the room

Poor Sod not his fault lol. X

Show quote history

Not directed at you but it's an example: the way 3/4 is now used to mean between three and four instead of 3-4 as it used to be. Now if you want to say three out of four there's no symbol.

People who do not understand the difference between reality and TV.
On my family tree, I found a woman called Mary Crawley, born in the 1500’s. Someone added her to their family tree, with the note attached reading … DOWNTON ABBEY heiress!!! 🤷‍♀️

😂😂😂

Anyone who talks to my through the bathroom door while I am on the toilet. It is the one time I am really not available.

ForIcyAzureDreamer · 22/06/2025 10:31

When a poster asks something like "what is your favourite thing" and posters go on to list out 10 things. Really really bugs me...totally irrational!
