Silly things that give you the rage

Haha! I was just saying this to DH earlier on when I was trying to order something from Argos.
I don’t care how many other people have looked at said item in the previous 24hrs.

When shopping online, those bloody little boxes that pop up trying to panic you into buying by declaring "57 million people are also looking at this" or "10,000 people have added this to their basket today" or "quick, only 3 left in stock". Extra irritation points because the box usually obscures the very thing I'm trying to look at.

Drivers that don't raise a hand to thank you when you pull over to let them through

People on our local FB site for giving things away for free, saying 'For the needy, not the greedy' . No. If you want it out your house, just give it to someone who asks. Recipients aren't there to make you feel wholesome.

This made me laugh out loud

People in the gym changing room who completely take over the bench with their stuff and block access to the other lockers while they're putting their make up on or drying their hair. Then when I ask them to move stuff so I can access my locker they tut as if I've majorly inconvenienced them. It's so fucking unnecessary and selfish - put your stuff back into the locker until you're ready to take them away ffs.

That bloody pepto- bismol advert! I absolutely fucking hate it! It makes me want to vomit and the bloody song gets stuck in my head!!! 😭

Pretty sure Bristol isn't heaving with people from Scotland and 'Needs gone' is all over our FB marketplace.

It gives me the rage too. Particularly when the thing that needs gone is a 'chester draws' and it's accompanied with a shitty, dirty, falling apart chest of drawers covered in their kids' 'art'. Take your crap to the dump yourself mate 🤣

That's actually another one! People trying to get rid of their crap (and ask for money for it). So many completely unusable items with 'vintage' (ancient does not mean vintage!) 'need a good clean but plenty of life in them' (usually about battered, filthy, falling apart shoes) 'perfect upgrading project' (any piece of crappy old furniture).

Well not really, because these days a fair could be just rides. But if I saw a fayre advertised I'd assume it was like a fete

I'm Canadian and wanted to write exactly what you wrote but you articulated it so much better than I could. Yes, the two words sound different in the Frozen North 😊

Maybe they have Hyacinth Bucket as a passenger:

"Richard, mind the pedestrian"!
"Where"?
"On the pavement".

To the poster several pages ago who gets frustrated with which way in a USB goes. In general the side with the squiggly "seam" faces down/away from you. This only applies to full-sized USBs not mini or micro, where it's anyone's guess.

I've noticed this too. Drivers who slow right down when they see you're waiting to cross with no intention of stopping to actually let you cross,but bizarrely,if you DID to decide to cross because you could see that you had enough time due to them slowing down, suddenly speed up as if they want to run you down!

‘Fayre’ really rouses my ire! It’s down in my big fat dictionary as a ‘pseudo-archaic spelling of ‘fair’.

But people use it to mean ‘fare’ as in food, too. There are often ‘Brewers’ Fayre’ restaurants attached to Premier Inns.

Earlier today I wanted to e-slap - hard! - the person who wrote ‘Judy’ Dench, instead of ‘Judi’.

I feel similar rage when anyone writes ‘Kier’ Starmer.

when my in laws call the ‘prostate’ the ‘prostrate’ 😬 and three men in the family have issues so it’s always number 1 topic of conversation 🫣

Fayre means pretentious Olde English vibes for what is just a fair.

The cupboard my hoover lives in... full of fucking bags for life and they fall on me when I try to take the hoover out.
My DP eating Haribo in the car. Gross.
Sniffing. GET A TISSUE.

SMH doesn't mean you disagree, it means you're disappointed/let down, used sarcastically or ironically

People using the American word ‘season’ around TV programmes.
Here we used to have the use of two words:

1. series. More than episode, and each one was self-contained.
2. serial. More than one episode, storyline runs throughout. I hear ‘season’ all of the time now and it makes little sense. Also anyone who starts an answer with ‘for sure’ gives me the rage!

Saying ‘erbs’ instead of ‘herbs’

And it is really hurtful to be on the receiving end of the behaviour. And no I didn't know before I married him. Furthermore you don't get to invalidate my experience just because your son has autism also.

Agreed, seasons are not capped.

If I saw Fair I'd assume there were rides, Fayre means, to me anyway, cakes, drinks & tat for sale

Now that really would be painful 😕!! Not that I've ever heard anyone say it

Chill is perfectly acceptable in this context, unless you were looking to be an example of “silly things that give you the rage”

Why has he had to stop saying that?
