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!

The crowd of adults that gather right at the school gate to chat, stopping everyone from getting in and out. Fucking move! It was bad enough before but now we are supposed to be keeping our distance!

@nomorename

The way people announce their dog breeds. Especially if there's a poo at the end. Makes me internally wince every time.

@nomorename this!!! It's a fecking mongrel!

Lurchermom's one about people trying to problem solve also made me think of the extension of that one.

If I'm having a problem with something and I decide to talk it through with someone else, they come up with all of the really obvious solutions that I've already considered/tried and discounted. They then make you feel like a smart-arse for saying "yeah I tried that but..." or "well I thought about that but..." and they get all nippy and say "Well I dunno then" and they walk away!

Clue is in my name!

Litter bugs
Gum chewers
Bad spelling

My neighbours arsehole teen son, who inexplicably drives 100 yards further down the road to do a 3 point turn outside my house, beeping his horn repeatedly as he turns the car when he comes home - Every. Single. Time 🤬

Something like a cockerpoo or a labradoodle is a cross-breed because it has purebred parents of two different breeds.
A mongrel is a dog of no definable breed and not the result of intentional breeding (and mongrels are usually great dogs IMO).

Lateness.

Pharmacists who shout your full name plus address to their colleagues when collecting a prescription. Data protection much?

Similarly pharmacists who try to act authoritative and tell me that do I actually KNOW that this premium beauty product will soon be out of manufacture and do I still want to buy it - yes I will still buy it because you've been telling me this every time I've bought the item in your shop for the last 6 years.

Yes I do wish people would try and learn the difference between a cross breed and a mongrel

People that let off fireworks after about 7pm. Some genius decided to have a firework display after 11pm last night - no concern for neighbours, totally self- centred arseholes.

People who park out the lines in their huge cars so you can't fit in the bay next to them, happens everyday at work!

When I've just got my hair into a perfect ponytail and the hair bobble snaps

People who quote the daily mail or the sun when expressing their opinions, which are straight from the pages of those monstrosities.
Oh, and someone commenting on what I'm buying at the counter. I don't complain, but inwardly it makes me mad for some reason!

People who announce on Facebook they are taking a break from said Facebook

When my husband and and others say "off of" not just "off"

Parents who are scared to say no to their little darlings

I'd very cheerfully ban the setting off of fireworks on any day that isn't an established traditional or religious occasion - and even then only on the actual day and maybe the nearest weekend, and not for a period lasting weeks before and after; and also, as you say, not after 7pm unless the custom is specifically being carried out to mark the changeover of a date such as New Year.

Impractical , bad quality and ridiculous clothing for women and girls.

Sometimes I just want a well fitting t shirt that washes well. I don't wish to remind others to 'be kind' when I wear it , I don't want frilly or puffy sleeves. I don't want to have to buy a man's shirt to achieve this goal.

People that toss litter out of cars.
Litter.
Men who spit in the street. In all my years on earth I have never seen a woman do this.
Excessive plastic packaging.

1. Religion
2. Most of humanity
3. Antisocial Behaviour
4. Lists
5. Irony

Car drivers that sit with engines running - no excuse sod off and stop polluting my air.

Car drivers that are impatient or arsey about cyclists / horse riders etc - get a life actually preferably get a bike it will decrease the size of your usually fat arses and make you less uptight. Done this myself recently and lost 2 stone.

People who dislike cyclists, it usually means they are dangerous and impatient drivers.
Nope, I’m fine stuck behind tractors and horses.

When the supposed time remaining to completion when I'm copying something to PC jumps up instead of trickling down.

Also, items in menus greyed out, so you can't select them. Really pisses me off.

Ha Qpobb, I worked for someone who would argue the reverse to the death. "DESPATCHED with an E" he would bawl at any hapless typist (crikey. Remember them?) that changed it from his original.

People writing "the female/male species" instead of "the female/male of the species"
