What makes you irrationally annoyed

For me it's drivers that don't acknowledge that I've let them out or pedestrians who don't put a quick hand up when i've stopped to let them cross. Such little things but it gives me instant rage!

Banging my head on the extractor fan. Every. Single. Day.

It deliberately becomes invisible when I am within six inches of it.

People who choose their own speed limit. There's a road near me with regular limit changes - 60, then 40, then 50, then 60, then 30.... you get the picture. The amount of people who decide that 45 is just right and stick to that the whole time... urgh. It really makes me feel angry. They streak off ahead through the villages and then hold everyone up through the next 4 miles of 60 limit.

People driving in front of us, who are doing 30mph quite steadily, then suddenly brake mid flow to let cars out or stop to let pedestrians cross.

Open plan offices

I need to escape

ArrivisteRevolt · 04/10/2018 20:59

Being hungry.

Also, if DH pulls the covers up and my feet get cold or cold air gets into my toasty bed. Just. Lose. It.

Fernicktylo · 04/10/2018 21:07

People standing around obliviously blocking pavements or corridors.
The older I get the more brusque I get. I find it hard to stop myself barging them out the way these days.

PoptartPoptart · 04/10/2018 21:09

Walking along the pavement and the person in front of you just stops dead, usually to look at their phone.
Drives me bonkers.

Colleagues (!) who think that, because the building employers cleaners and maintenance staff, they don't have to clean up after themselves. This week I have encountered sanpro rubbish (not used sanpro but the pouches/strips) just dropped on the floor of the toilet cubicles; cups left unwashed on the draining board; even food debris just left in the sink. This is despite there being bins in the toilet cubicles, and washing liquid/sponge/cloths provided in the kitchens. And despite, in the case of the kitchen, a reminder only four days ago from the floor Director that people should clean up after themselves!

I shudder to think how these people live, the state of their own homes.

ILoveDaveGrohl · 04/10/2018 21:12

Noises. Breathing loud, eating, clinking spoon on a cup. Angry

Aprilislonggone · 04/10/2018 21:12

Drivers who don't drive AT the fucking speed limit.

PinkCalluna · 04/10/2018 21:13

Repetitive beeping noises. Like the dishwasher finishing noise or trucks reversing.

I’m a very calm and laid back person in general but beeping noises for more than about 10 seconds makes me insane.

tangoed2 · 04/10/2018 21:17

@Fernicktylo drives me mad! Shop entrances also.

The office radio. Stupid, banal endlessly repetitive pop music blaring out all day every day. I hate it and I hate the morons who insist on having it on.

CompletelyUnknown · 04/10/2018 21:23

People walking to slow and in front of me and also people walking to close behind me. It might just be people near me in general though.

CompletelyUnknown · 04/10/2018 21:23

*too.

I also hate this missies use of to and too

LegoMonkeys · 04/10/2018 21:23

Bits of plastic film eg from ready meals that get stuck together and to your hand with static and you just can't throw them in the bin.

VioletPickles · 04/10/2018 21:26

People eating close to me.
Cannot abide it. And people that write loose when they mean lose.

treaclesoda · 04/10/2018 21:28

Sniffing. Use a bloody tissue.

ShirleyPhallus · 04/10/2018 21:29

The general fucking public

Unrelentingly awful. Every single one of those fuckers.

workworkworkworkworkk · 04/10/2018 21:31

People who drive 40 on a 60 and remain at 40 on a 30!!

People who don't indicate!

Rude people. People in general!

BertandQueenieforever · 04/10/2018 21:33

Fucking Henry Hoover falling over all the fucking time.

Cauliflowersqueeze · 04/10/2018 21:35

Drivers who turn the wheel with the heel of their hand.

Cauliflowersqueeze · 04/10/2018 21:37

And people who write

“Apologises for ...”

When they mean

“Apologies for...”

BifsWif · 04/10/2018 21:42

People who don’t say thank you when I hold a door, I am that psycho woman shouting “YOU’RE WELCOME” at the backs of strangers who do this.
