Things that cause you instant rage!

[Qpobb]

A safe space to vent upon the things that cause you to burn with rage at the mere mention of them.

Mine:

1. MLM schemes (especially people trying to "recruit" 16 year olds asking about work on Facebook).
2. The 11+/grammar test system. So many things wrong about it and makes me so angry on behalf of the kids.
3. Nose hanging out of mask (I'm looking at you, man in my local Sainsbury's!).

Happy ranting. I feel better already!

People finishing my sentences - but especially with entirely the wrong thing.

Agree with noses hanging out of masks, so utterly pointless.

For some reason NONE of the workers in my local home bargins are wearing masks! There were 6 out on the floor stocking shelves the other day, not one wearing a mask! And none behind the tills either?

Crumbs in the bed and wrinkly bed sheets. DP eats in the bed all the time. I hate it, and he fidgets around in his sleep and pushes the mattress sheets over to my side.

People who insist on phoning instead of texting.

People who seem to do their weekly shop while in paying for their fuel.

People who can't/won't park their car in the center of the space. Doesn't usually bother me too much but I'm heavily pregnant and really struggle to fit in between cars as it is.

Partner leaving his stinking football boots in the car so when I get in in the mornings the car is humming. Also him unstrapping the kids car seats so when I'm in a rush yo do the school run I've got to strap them back in.

Actually I could go on all night about things my partner does that give me instant rage. He is irritating as fuck.

Oh and one of the dads I see collecting his kids from ds's school with his fluffy puppy that he let's jump all over People and other dogs, because its oh so fucking cute, and he clearly thinks everyone finds him oh so fucking cute aswell, bit in reality he's a smarmy bellend who thinks he is the be all and end all. He drives too fast around the car park and shouts everything to everyone he knows. Not only that, but he seems to have this group of women that pander and play along to his dickishness. Giggling and fawning over him. I just want to give them all a slap, and give him a good kicking.

Me too. Don't get me started

Slamming car doors. No need.

Idiots that think their dog jumping all over me is funny or cute.

People who can’t grasp that letting my elder children go to school for the sake of their education & mental health doesn’t mean I’m “OTT” or “ridiculous” for not attending large family gatherings or the likes because my youngest is CEV. They just can’t see that I’m having to balance the risk as best I can for all

People who interrupt. Unless you are under 5 and still learning, or there’s a fire, then there’s no bloody excuse.

And one for on here - people who deliberately pretend they don’t understand a spelling or grammar mistake to make themselves feel superior. With special disdain for those who do it on threads where the OP is clearly having a really tough time. If you pretend not to understand the muddle up of lend/borrow when the Op is clearly being financially and emotionally abused then you are a cunt.

Customers in shops saying 'Can I get....' when asking for something,e.g. In Gregg's,'Can I get a sausage roll'. It's 'Can I have....' You HAVE,the shop assistant GETS! I always imagine the customer going round behind the counter to GET the item themselves!

I had to stop watching Bargain Hunt for this one - when the first team's been through their auction part, the presenter says "now, don't say a word to the blue team". One person either does the 'zipping up of the lips' thing, which is bad enough, but the one that makes me shriek with rage is when someone does the 'buttoning up of the lips' motion.

People calling bolognese "bolognaise", it makes me want to murder.

My sister to be honest.

Can go from 0 to Rage just by thinking about her. She's my sister but she is the most awful arrogant and selfish person.

People saying 'I'm a bit OCD' followed by a little tinkly laugh. Believe me,if you have ever seriously suffered from OCD,you wouldn't describe it as being 'a bit OCD' and you definitely would not be laughing about it. At best,it's an inconvenience,at it's worst,it can be absolutely debilitating.

The thing on Mumsnet where everybody acknowledges that feckless Disney Dads exist but if a stepmum dares criticise a SDC's Mum she's Satan

I know its more rare but Selfish Disney Mums exist as well, I know of several, and I'm not even a stepmum

The sanitary towel advert - I think Always that says 'Some people think that being a woman means only being soft and delicate.'
Who are these people? Who thinks women are soft and delicate? I'm fucking not.

People driving in the middle lane when the inside lane is clear. Proper gives me the rage.

1. Vague-booking statuses on Facebook to elicit the "u ok Hun?" response.

1. The word "covidiot" - I take Covid very seriously but I don't think it's helpful to dismiss people who don't in this way.

1. Scrolling the web on my phone and go to click a link but as I do an ad loads further up the page, moving my link down the screen resulting in my clicking the wrong link.

1. People who ask if they can "lend" something when they mean borrow.

1. Dog walkers who let their dogs jump up at me / the kids or try to get at our picnic and just casually stroll over and make a joke out of it. You deserve a special place in hell.

1. DH WFH and talking on every video conference at 3000 decibels.

1. All the parents at DC swimming lessons. FFS if you all stepped back from the pool door then everyone would be able to see when their child came out.

1. People who don't understand risk probability and statistics.

1. The Daily Mail.

10. My FIL clearing his throat every two seconds at 3000 decibels.

Ooh, and talking about trashy but still addictive daytime programmes, when they get the estate agents in on Homes Under The Hammer, to advise what potential rent could be earned from the property, post do-up. Every single time, every single valuer always says £XXX PER CALENDAR MONTH. Why not go the whole hog and say 'per Gregorian calendar month', just so that there's no confusion? Do they think that people watching don't know what a month is?!

I can only assume that they're catering to the very special kind of person who thinks that 'month' = '4 weeks' (not just for roughly mentally approximating but for making actual calculations) and guarding themselves against complaints from somebody who is able enough to buy and renovate a house, but apparently not able to understand that you aren't going to get 13 months' rent in in one year.

Actually, this has reminded me of a great thread from some time back about people - even otherwise intelligent, professional people - who do actually believe that there are 13 months in a year (i.e. that one month equals exactly four weeks) but have never thought to question why one of those 13 months doesn't have a name and is never spoken of.

Almost everything any human says or does. Just stop it. Plus the way the cat cleans his feet. Loudly. On the bed.

Not understanding the difference between lunar and calendar months is on the list too. A long way down, but there.

People who say "myself" instead of "me". I even spotted it in The Crown the other day!

"May I have" is even better.

People who passively aggressively say 'you're welcome!' at not being thanked for not being in my way on the pavement. I've got a baby in a sling, a six year old and massive shadows under my eyes. I'm sorry if I didn't notice you hiding in the hedge.

And don't hold the door open - JUST GO!! I don't want to have to speed up just for you, and have you enter my personal bubble (an important concern even before covid!!).

I wouldn’t expect a vegetarian to cook meat for me anymore than I would expect a Muslim to serve me pork. It’s a fundamental belief for some people and I won’t collapse if I don’t eat meat for one meal.

People get angry at others being polite and holding doors open?
