What's causing your irrational rage today?

Today I'm cross because I'm late for work due to a combination of my own appalling sense of direction and the council website sending me to the wrong polling station. Also my hairstyle is utterly ridiculous and needs flipping out my eyes every ten seconds. And the buses are hot and commuters are unhinged and citimapper baffling. And my pants are too small. I just want some tea and a nice eggs sandwich and to go back to bed.

Give me your rages MN - I am your friend.

I've changed my eating habits, counted the calories, exercised and tried really hard for two weeks to start losing baby weight.
Gained weight!
Bloody gained!
Bought new scales in case mine were wrong lol and they consistently rate me even higher!!
Might as well eat the damn buttery toast (I won't but humph)

My dad's voting intention, although I don't think it's irrational rage so much as disproportionate!

I have to go to work today.
I didn't get my shit together last night and now I have to run around like a headless chicken to get into work this morning.
There was no milk in the fridge. And DH went to Asda last night and didn't get any!!

I'm in agony.
I desperately need to sort out my floordrobe as all my summer clothes are under all the winter ones, and my outfit for the Spice Girls tomorrow is goodness knows where.
But the pain.

My DC arguing. Then realised it was because I had forgotten to take my pill this morning. So all is ok again now.

And I just have to sort out the housework I've ignored for the past week.

I'm in a placement I hate. To the point ive decided I'll never work in this sector and have already made steps to change career before this one has begun. I'm learning nothing at all relevant to my degree. I'm a month behind in training, my portfolio is never looked at so I'm reluctant to continue in case it's wrong.

Isthisnecessary · 23/05/2019 12:41

And I've just been reminded that there's not long left and I need to get on with it!!!

I've been asking for help for months, so has my mentor!

I have leftover rage from yesterday.

Someone sent a snippy email pulling apart everything I’ve just delivered in a project. Every point was completely wrong, in most instances I actually don’t know what information they were referencing.

It’s all resolved but I’m still feeling annoyed about it because it was just so ridiculous!

ElizaPancakes · 23/05/2019 12:55

But I’m practically zen about the fact my car needed a battery replacement this morning. Even though I’ve only had the car three weeks. And it cost me £140.

I think I'm also about to get yelled at by a furious client Grin Bright it.

Sanctimonious friends berating people who use MAC et al who now sell cosmetics in China and so aren't cruelty free, but are sat there munching a fucking meat burger.
Glass houses and stones much? Hmm

Actually that could be changed just to sanctimonious friends full stop as its the sanctimonious bit which gives me the rage.
I am a huge believer in everyone doing what they feel is right without needing to harp on about it publicly.

sanctimonious friends

My work colleague has "given up drinking". I say that because it's been two weeks and she told us all about it between five and ten times a day every fekking day 🙄

When someone pointed out there was a free bar at a place we were all going she goes "I wouldn't know, I dont drink" in a really smug way.

Whatevs if she's given it up good for her but she's acting like she discovered fire.

Nosey old bastard woman next door informing me there was too much stuff in my garden (trampoline , swings and small hot tub.) Which was why the ball and gone over her garden (not our ball) and so my 7 year old should go to the park to play.
I literally couldn't trust myself to answer without swearing so I just ended up staring at her like I was mad.
