Silly things that give you the rage

I find the use and overuse of "peri"really irritating. Why can't women just say they are going through the menopause, menopausal or whatever. You either are iin it or aren't. I only see people saying thet they are peri on Mn. Nobody irl has ever said it to me.

Multiple people walking in the swimming pool blocking the pool.
when my clothes get caught on door knobs, only happens when I’m in a bad mood!

phone charging leads. if you find them, which is a challenge in itself despite the partner swearing blind he has not had it/moved it/seen it.
Then you get it connected, and it is not charging! yet again it is broken, so another expensive trip to the electrical shop
With the amount of leads we have bought, we could have a month in the Bahamas!

Oh god, could be a long list….

chewing loudly
slurping
when someone walks too closely behind me
people who just stop dead in the middle of the street/supermarket aisle
people who have no idea of personal space
people who take calls on loudspeaker
using a seat for their bag on a train

many more that aren’t springing to my mind at this moment.

I think I could just change my list to people tbh- I hate people.

I bet they're not using it correctly either (this was one of the bugbears I listed above)

E.g. "I literally died of embarrassment!" Well no you didn't because here you still are, alive and annoying me...

"Literally the funniest thing ever!" Was it? Really? In 30 years on this earth you never saw a single thing funnier than that YouTube video?

Grrr.

Or Affect and Effect.

Dropping something, picking it up and then immediately dropping it again.

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

Any kind of chewing, knife scraping, forks clattering or scraping on teeth... A lot of us on here have misophonia!

The washing machine helpfully beeping every thirty seconds to tell me it's finished. I KNOW! I just can't or don't want to deal with it instantly!

My sister mentioning or even appearing to mention anything to do with her obsession with slimness. Fuck off. I put up with it throughout my childhood and teens but I'm nearly 50 and so over it. Oh, and in related rage, my inability to lose weight 😂😭

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

Either do something about it, or stop moaning.

I'll take that. I'd sooner lack linguistic imagination than speak badly, given a choice.

I do not know why coat hangers give me the rage. Or anything that gets tangled. I could cheerfully throw the lot through a window.

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.

People who refer to Elsa as a princess. She is for the first what 7 minutes of the film and thereafter IS A FUCKING QUEEN!

Also (this is very specific to Danes) Danish people saying they re going to sejle (sail) a canoe. If you're sailing it's not a canoe. You paddle (padle) a canoe.

How can you tell the difference between draw and drawer?

Thankyou so much. Sending solidarity to you ❤️

For absolutely no real reason, winds me up a treat when you're waiting to pull out of a junction and the very last car, with nobody at all behind them, slows down and let's you out. Just keep going because I can go after you!

Yeah no reason for it. They're being kind and it doesn't affect me it just irritates me

Dumb people- get to the front of the queue and jam the queue with dumb stupid questions, then take out their phone to try call someone.

People who say ATM machine and pin number.
I hate this too. The "m" meaning machine is totally redundant when people say "ATM machine". Likewise the "N" in "PIN number".

I never pre-book seats.
This is a perfect example of when words are redundant. To book is, by nature, something which happens before an event. To "pre-book" would only be correct if a booking had to be done before the actual booking was made. This is borne out by you then saying I immediately get a big urgent pop up warning me I haven't booked a seat, which is correct. You haven't "booked". Not you haven't "pre-booked".

As you've proven, it is so easily done. But as you also say, language evolves. It doesn't mean we have to like it.

There's a whole bunch of them (e.g. foundering and floundering) but the stationery/ary is the absolute worst for me.
I see it too much where I work.

Groups of people who walk abreast on the pavement and don’t attempt to move as you approach them.

People who have their calls on speaker phones when out in public - no one needs to know that they’re waiting on the chlamydia test!

coat hangers getting tangled in my wardrobe give me the absolute rage!!!!! Why do they do this to me, the more I tug the more tangled they become. It annoys me even more that I have to try and calm down to stand any chance of success in retrieving my garment.

Am I allowed 2 posts!!

We have friends who say “literally” the same way everyone started saying “like” in one conversation it’s will be about 5-6 times “literally” and it’s both of them.

Or averse and adverse.

That sounds very hard, sending big hugs as a fellow wife of a very similar DH, I hope today is better, maybe go out.. grab yourself a book and a cold glass of wine somewhere.
