Silly things that give you the rage

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 🤣

British using ‘From the get-go’ rather than the start or beginning

As a hobby genealogist, I feel your pain. I could make an entire thread on Ancestry rage.

Me too. It would be an amusing thread my dear Sir Lord Knight daughter of King James and Katherine Parr, from Blackburn in Wales, (born in 1820, married in 1950 and died in 1723 in Ypres.

My neighbour drinks a very specific drink in a highly noticeable can. Whenever the recycling goes out, one invariably falls out because there are so many in the box. It will be literally 5cm from his driveway boundary on the pavement yet he never picks them up and acts like they aren't his. Every time.

That advert for Fage yoghurt

Those puke making Andrex ads 🤢🤮

grumpygrape · 21/06/2025 21:21

People who try to resolve issues through text rather than just bloody talking to the other person.
And breathe 😊

Olive567 · 21/06/2025 21:21

"We are pregnant" does it for me

Ineedanewsofa · 21/06/2025 21:19

People who write ‘loose’ instead of ‘lose’. I see it so often I’m starting to question whether I’m wrong!

Snoodley · 21/06/2025 21:19

Maybe not silly, but people barging through the barriers to get on and off the tube without paying 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

People blaming everything on "peri" on MN. Like, it's ok to have a big emotion that's not because of perimenopause! I know IABU but I feel like everyone blames peri for everything this year.

Agree, then get annoyed when men do it.. 🙄can't have it both ways!

Cosycover · 21/06/2025 21:16

People who say macdonalds. It's mcdonalds. It's literally right there in the name. Mc

PersephoneSmith · 21/06/2025 21:16

I was going to say people who don’t understand the difference between a direct debit and a debit card payment (work thing)
But actually that’s not silly. They are utter fuckwits

My own sister has listed our father’s date of death incorrectly. In the grand scheme of things it’s not the worst but it’s just so fucking sloppy.

Jambolass · 21/06/2025 21:14

People eating with their mouth open
People talking with a mouth full of food
Spitting
People saying draw instead of drawer
People who litter

I'm stopping at 5 otherwise I could be here all night 😂

Hecksonaplane · 21/06/2025 21:14

Water running down my sleeves when I wash my face, I’ve now bought towelling sweat bands!
Catching my sleeve on a door handle
People not ready to move off instantly when the lights change to green
Having no one behind me on a road but have someone pull out in front of me either too short a distance and I have to brake or slowly and I have to brake
When I have to repeat myself
People that stop and stand in access areas eg a metro platform entrance, move down let people through, shop entrances, top of stairs
other than that I’m pretty chill 😅

JDM625 · 21/06/2025 21:11

My MIL!

Its specific not Pacific
Its covid, not The CoviT
At any meal, MIL will shove food in then still try to talk, so bits come flying out of her mouth!
People that lie their breasts/chest and body over shopping trolleys and use them as mobility aids.

People saying: Recommend me......, we was at ...., I done ....., You get me? Innit.

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!!! 🤷‍♀️

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

Yes, IABU

There's a girl in work who does this, two doors down the corridor. Almost screams.

IhadaStripeyDeckchair · 21/06/2025 21:08

People who don't know the difference between lend and borrow.

There's so many of them & it's so basic & gives me the absolute rage.

Jo - can you borrow me a pen.
Me - Fred, Jo wants to know if you have you can lend her a pen?

RaginaPhalange · 21/06/2025 21:08

When my dh eats noodles, he slurps them. Ds is also awful for being a loud chewer.

When people walk slowly in front of me.

Repeating myself numerous times

People who jump the barriers at the train station - pay your fucking fare. Don’t even think about pushing through with me when I go through Fuckers the lot of them. I now walk slowly though then arrows so it closes right behind me.

People who walk on the right when it’s clearly states keep left

People who sit on the outer seat of bus or train then tut when you ask to sit down

bloody hate commuting

Men (never seen a women) who hold one side of their nose and blow their snot onto the pavement. It makes me physically gag - imagine that at 6am. Imagine having sex with someone knowing they do that !!!
