Things that make you irrationally angry?

[Startofsomethingnew20]

Does anyone else have things that make them really, irrationally angry??

I am generally not an angry person and generally pretty chill most of the time, but recently, certain things make me get the rage (things that really shouldn’t) like a family member swallowing their drink really loudly or eating loudly. It annoys me so much I would have to leave the room or turn the rub up really loudly to drown them out.

I don’t remember feeling this way pre-lockdown. Wtf has changed? Is it just that I’ve spend so long in the house with people during lockdown? How do I fix it?

Please tell me I’m not alone!!

Oh I don’t even have to be waiting to use the pumps. I can be passing by still winds me up. 😀

LOL. I get you though. Can't stand time wasting at the petrol station but I can't afford to upgrade to electric yet.
Happy motoring

The noises my DH makes when he eats.

You too 👍

I get irrationally annoyed when people helpfully point out that my bag is open e.g. on the tube. I have to restrain myself from telling them to fuck off and mind their own business.

To be fair, it doesn't happen often, maybe three or four times ever, but it has made me so annoyed each time! I don't know why. Totally irrational!

Sleeve in the door handle! Absolutely this. It never happens when my day is going brilliantly - only when I'm having a rough time and it puts the absolute tin lid on everything.

Being touched on the head. If anyone taps my head the rage bubbles up so fast and I can feel myself getting so angry I’m scared about how I’ll react

Coat hangers falling down or getting tangled up sends me bonkers too.

My teenagers phubbing.

Or not listening.

Or not cleaning up after themselves.

Or not doing, or doing a rubbish job of anything they're asked to do.

Or not caring about their future, the environment, their grades, my feelings...

My teenagers generally!

This. This. This. I go absolutely apeshit at my 2 every few days it feels like. I'm a pretty chilled person, and happy for them to have plenty of downtime, but WFH and having them doing fuck all all day (especially the teen who has GCSEs next summer, and really needs to actually do some work if she wants to achieve the grades she's predicted for her lofty ambitions), makes me actually incandescent with rage. I'm getting cross just typing this.

The coat hanger thing! They always get tangled up...

Dog shit.
Dog owners who let their dogs shit.

Signs beside roadworks which read:

'Footway closed'

It's footpath, footPATH I tell you. Not ruddy 'footway'.

Adult fussy eaters. It's so annoying.

Having to put the duvet cover on the fucking duvet! Pillows and undersheet no problem, but for some reason that particular chore makes me ragey I actually feel myself get tense when I know I have to do it

The mess generated by trying to get weetabix out of the fucking packet. Today someone had opened one end of the inner plastic wrapper and dropped them back in the box sideways so I didn't realise and opened the other end and stuff just went .... everywhere.

The way my husband slurps the last bit of a drink EVERY SODDING TIME.

The fact that my husband and son have headphones on every minute of the day and when I talk they just say "can't hear you" and carry on.

Ugh.

Our upstairs neighbour and her screeching voice I have to listen to all day who then has the audacity to accuse us of making noise that keeps her awake at night

DP watching his sport on the TV. He works very long hours and doesn’t get much time to chill out so I do feel bad but I have to make him wear his airpods so I don’t commit a murder.

People who abandon their supermarket trolleys in the aisle, then mooch backwards and forwards filling them. Worse are the basket on the floor dumpers - an obvious trip hazard but why should they care.

Anyone over the age of 25 (and that’s pushing it) who call their parents ‘mummy/daddy.’ I don’t know why and I’m sorry if that’s you but it makes my eye twitch.

Sex. And everything relating to it.

I think it's the menopause, but every time I read a passage about sex or hear a song that's basically about sex or have a man making 'phnar phnar' noises I get really ragey. I want to shout 'Seriously, is that ALL you can think about?' I can't even bear the thought of going out with a man because I know all the time he's weighing up how long it will be before he can have sex with me. Every time a conversation starts to get even vaguely sexual I want to stab someone.

Probably just as well that I am single and not dating otherwise there would be a trail of bodies behind me.

Printers. Always the bloody printers that eat my paper up

Baby showers.

Cyclists on narrow country lanes who don't pull over toilet cars past.

Dogs running up to me and putting dog slobber on me.

Calling face masks a muzzle.

Snobbery.

People who only ever put themselves first.

Our cupboard door knobs which can either loosen in your hand or grab your clothing making me fall over. Knobbly fuckers.

People wearing face masks over their mouth but not cone ring the nose or wearing it under the chin but not covering anything. FFS, just take it off! Stop pretending you’re wearing it - you’re not.

Cone ring? Covering.

Next doors child kicking a football into a goal all day every day

@GoshHashana

If I accidentally get my sleeve wet in the sink. It fucking infuriates me.

OMG me too..
