Silly things that give you the rage

Especially when the person issuing the ‘gentle reminder’ never told you about whatever it was in the first place, as someone I know has form for doing!

Yes! My H accepts anything offered to him and doesn't find a place for it so I then throw it out. Our home would be a proper dump if I didn't.

I am not sure whether this is silly but I get annoyed when people try to make others carry or store their stuff. I have made my children clear out their school bags and my daughter, in particular, has a lot of random stuff that classmates have given her. When I suggested that she chuck some of it out (none of it is useful - in fact, she seemed quite surprised it was there) she was aghast at the idea that she wouldn't just carry on carrying tiny bottles of sand that someone had given her.

My dad's parents once went on holiday and brought back a table, which they gave to my parents. Who didn't really have room for it but felt they had to keep it as the grandparents kept asking if they still used it. When they moved house and got rid of it, my grandparents were appalled. I suspect they liked the table but, as they didn't have anywhere to put it, they decided to give it to my parents.

shirts and blouses being described as 'pop over blouse' 'pop over shirt'
I think its so annoying as it sounds so twee

A bit like a “Polite Notice” telling you not to do something.

The phrase "gentle reminder". It's pointless. It's just a reminder, no harm in that.

Two factor authentication which insists on using an app which i can't unless I get a code which they won't give me if it was important like my bank I could understand but it's indeed? Why do I need so much security indeed? You have never helped me find a job why are you so important I need codes and apps to make sure it's me? And why can I not get a fucking code!

Also when two factor authentication hits and it wants to send me an email but then wants to double check my security so it sends it to my other email too so I need a code from one email address to prove that the other email address is correct then a text message it's all a bit fucking futile because it's all on THE SAME PHONE IM LITERALLY AUTHENTICATING MYSELF just to make a bot happy

Push Notifications. Just stop it with your needy attention seeking!

Mon- Fri 9-5 type routines resulting in:

• The rush hour traffic
• The gym in the evening is packed
• Supermarkets in the evening/weekend are busy
• Everything on the weekend is busy

Just writing it gives me the rage - I work shifts and love working evenings, nights and weekends to avoid all of this. I'm on a Mon-Fri course at the moment, and the difference is stark, especially car journeys that increase from 10 mins to 30!!!! - just due to the volume of traffic due to a lot of people all doing similar things at the same time!

People who said Bregzit shouldn't have had their vote counted.

X is produced ECKS, not EGGS.

And "Bregsit".

My mum and dad forget to charge theirs. They say they prefer the quiet. An absolute pain when you're in a restaurant trying to have a quiet chat.

Even when there’s a doorbell/knocker.

I fear for our glass too!!

If said friend was taking a dump.it was definitely a thing

delivery drivers who bang on the glass front door like the place is on fire. make you jump ten feet in the air then when you rush to the door they have left it in our parcel box. sure they will break the glass one day! enough people say they do not knock well i wish ours did not.

At the same time, it annoys me when someone doesn’t pronounce the letter x in luxury, instead saying ‘lugsury’ taking away the luxury of actually pronouncing the letter x!

I had this exactly!
Email saying that my order has been dispatched ( giving my address as the delivery)
Email saying that the delivery will be made on Thursday (yesterday) to my address

This morning got an email saying they will deliver today to my address ( actually today Friday) between 5.30-6.30pm by DHL

Then an email saying it has been delivered.

Point being, if its from DHL just wait for notification for a delivery slot.

I waited in all day yesterday as it was something valuable and it came today in the time slot they had given! Still, I'm glad I can relax now 😂

When I buy something online…..

Email saying they’ve got my order
Email saying they’re processing my order
Email saying they have handed my order to the delivery company
Email from the delivery company saying they’re expecting my package
Email from the delivery company saying they’ve got my package and they’ll tell me when it’s out for delivery
Email from the delivery company saying my package is at their hub
Email from the delivery company saying my package is out for delivery and will be with me between 13.03 and 14.03 and offering me multiple options to rearrange and/or offer a safe place
Text from the delivery company saying my package is out for delivery and will be with me between 13.03 and 14.03 and offering me multiple options to rearrange and/or offer a safe place
Email from the delivery company telling me they have delivered my package
Email from the retailer asking me to review my purchase (I haven’t even unpack the blasted thing yet)
Email from the delivery company asking me to rate their delivery.
And on, and on, and on…….

The letter X. It's pointless in almost all circumstances. The phonics sheets coming home saying x is for explosion prove this. No, e is for explosion. X is for xylophone, which is pronounced with a zoom sound instead. Could just use ks in tbe middle of words instead.

Dp who will slowly meander round every aisle of the supermarket when we only need 3 things. Get in, zoom round and get out again!

Are we married to the same man, @qotsa? Dh does give the dishcloth a rinse but then dumps it in the bit in between the sink and the draining board, where it doesn’t dry out - it just festers and goes slimy. Thanks to my health issues I don’t do much housework now, but I used to point out to him that if he rinsed the dishcloth in really hot water, rang it out well, then put it over the edge of the draining rack, it would dry out, and would stay cleaner for longer.

I’ve given up now.

Because she “doesn’t need them”?

There is a Next sale on. I know this because they have texted me three times and emailed me twice. Even if I wanted to buy something from them, I wouldn’t because they have been so bloody persistent.

I have a new one. Share house with DH and two DS. The dishcloth being left next to the sink with whatever is was used for last still within 😠 just rinse it out and leave it clean…..They seem to be learning.

Was it? I didn't notice, there were never loos near my room, I guess. Now I have some almost directly opposite, little bit noisy!

That was a trend in the 90s!
