Silly things that give you the rage

Voicemails that are mumbled yet have important details.
Not network issues, but just mumbling, whispering or phone too far from the mouth, so you have to play it numerous times doing that bending over thing as if it makes me hear better.

The fact that a fast train that would
get me to work in perfectly good time does not stop at our local station.

Instead I have to get a much earlier stopping train and then change to get to work on time.

Nobody’s fault- it’s just the timetable.

When I think about all the extra hours I could have in bed over the course of a year if only the train stopped here… 😭

The English accent that converts Ts to soft Ds. E.g. “a liddle bit”.

My husband does an annoying accent, vaguely related to the poor bastard he’s speaking to.
I hate it!

I'm on holiday at the moment. If I try to speak to a taxi driver/shop worker/waiter etc, OH will say the same thing but a bit louder & with gestures

Example: me: "can we just look at a menu please?"
OH : "CAN WE LOOK AT A MENU PLEASE?" Then gestures with his hands as if he's opening a book.

Drives me mad! Just let me have a conversation!!

To be honest, when I joined, I honestly thought that's all it was. I had never heard of MN until the Daisy May Cooper thing, however many years ago, so when I searched for it, I searched for AIBU. It's only fairly recently that I've discovered all the other bits to explore! I think MN should give a guided tour when you sign up.

Just remembered that I get furious for NO good reason when people comment ‘how to buy?’ Under a sponsored ad on Facebook for e.g a dress that has a very obvious ‘shop now’ button. Or ‘price please’. Or does this come in size 12? Or ‘do you deliver to Basildon?’
Just CLICK ON IT FFS!

Cold callers of all varieties thinking that my very prominent 'No Cold Callers' sign doesn't apply to them for whatever reason 😡

So true

People who recommend terrible books.

Drivers who stop several feet behind the give way line. What do they think the line marking is actually for?

I'll be very obviously doing something, using both hands. Husband will, for example, very kindly bring me a cup of tea or G&T, time of day dependent. But he will stand holding it out for me to take, despite the fact that both my hands are evidently already engaged elsewhere and, alas, I only have two. So then, in a strained voice, I always hear myself saying, "yes, thank you, but I obviously can't take it from you, please can you put it down there" and feel a bit of a bitch for sounding ungrateful but honestly really.

Probably not what this thread is aiming for but on EBAY as a seller I can't find how to opt out of stupid new delivery service. Going to stop selling on there soon if I can't find a way out

On Vinted, sellers not accepting offers and expecting full price. That is absolutely FINE but just say that in your ad or by message, to save wasting everyone’s time. Or decline it and let me know what you do want!

People with poor communication skills drive me mad!

I get cross whenever someone is filmed / photographed doing A Thing and someone says “Oh my God, look at your face!”. Yes, they are concentrating, not posing. My daughter has just sent me some photos of her jumping on a pony and had edited her face out as she didn’t like her expression. People shouldn’t have to be photo ready at all times.

I switched the beeping off our machine. I have enough things to attend to, I don’t need to jump at the say so of a washing machine.

My parents' washing machine drives me round the twist. It does a stupid, annoying little jingle, kidding you into thinking it's ready to empty, but no, it pisses and farts for another five minutes or so until it finally deigns to allow the door to be opened. 🤬 At least when our own starts constantly beeping, you can actually open the door immediately.

Those who say 1000%.
Sorry, it's that kind of morning 🤪.

People saying rooves instead of roofs.

Hard to explain, but people who're late taking something handed to them.

It's seconds of mid suspension, but long enough to want to shout, take it!

Absolutely fair-and I wear hearing aids.

Washing machines that say three minutes remaining, so you stand there waiting to unload before going to work, yet it ends up being ten minutes.

People who shout for me from another room (or floor). No, it sounds terrible - come here and speak.

People who ask a question at the end of a meeting when everyone else wants to go home.
Beauty Salons/businesses who attempt to have a French name and put the accents in the wrong place.
Instagrammers who do that stupid wiggly pose with their hands near their face and pour product all over themselves.
