Things that make you inexplicably angry

Things, not people.

Here's mine, when my 8 year old creeps out from randomly hiding from me and shouts 'boo!' which she does quite often, I always yell 'Jesus Christ!' (I never normally say it) and feel the most massive anger, its bizarre.

Also, people beeping their car horns as a greeting and loud motorbikes.

Parking. IE people who park in the middle of two spaces.

OH never wipes the crumbs/ mess from the worktop after making food. He'll make sandwiches in the morning then just go to work, leaving the crumbs for me to clear up. It drives me crazy.

Aren’t those examples both of people rather than things though

When people write on lined, hole-punched paper with the holes on THE WRONG SIDE.

Speedymarie · 12/05/2021 21:17

People (the kids) messing about with doors, either stopping one another getting through, or repeatedly closing it. It makes me actually furious, maybe it's a, reaction to having lots of trapped fingers as a kid.

CaughtInAnnette · 12/05/2021 21:17

Even worse if the sheet is upside down.

Dh puts the sofa cushions between the seat gaps rather than on a seat back iyswim. Does my tits in.

When one handle on a carrier bag breaks and you're halfway between the supermarket exit and the car. Yes Lidl. I'm looking at you. Twice in the last ten days!

Burnt toast. The smell just makes me angry for some reason.
Cars revving.
Dogs in front seats of cars with their heads out the window. So ruddy stupid, even if they are strapped in. Wouldn't let my passengers sit there like that.

romdowa · 12/05/2021 21:23

Flakiness and lateness ! Drives me mad !

We have a kitchen bin that you press to open and have to push down to close. I am the only one in our house who close the bin every time. As I am never last to bed in our house but first up I get greeted by an open bin every morning.

Rudeness

Notashandyta · 12/05/2021 21:28

People strap their dogs in??!!

Having to take the stupid foil pulley bit off a new bottle of milk. It never comes off properly and always hurts my fingers. Makes me clench.my teeth everyone.

Kids standing on my feet.

Catching a rough fingernail in my hair when I'm washing it.

Someone touching my boobs when I'm not expecting it. Angry

Not with a human seat belt but it's against the law to have an unrestrained dog in a car in the UK, you could face a fine of up to £2500 if you get caught.

The sharing of Facebook posts that are obviously completely made up but have people falling over themselves to comment inane things.

Example being a photo of a baby with a facial deformity or a beautiful woman with no legs and the made up caption of ‘It’s my birthday today I bet I don’t get any likes!’

This is then followed by people wishing them a happy birthday despite it not being on the original post and the fact that it’s obviously been made!

Or a photo of animal cruelty where the perpetrator’s are stood next to the dead animal, usually a cat, dog or horse and it’s obvious that the photo was not recent and not in the UK.

People then post they will share the post so that they get caught and hope the abusers are found soon despite a simple google search that would tell them that it took place a decade ago and was in the Ukraine etc.

My local fish van. Man drives way too fast into my estate tooting his horn like a mad man, to ensure no one within a two mile radius misses the opportunity to buy some cod. Every. Sodding. Week

BlowDryRat · 12/05/2021 21:42

My colleagues sending me DMs when my status is set to 'available'. I don't want DMs at any time! I know IABU.

RedRec · 12/05/2021 21:54

Cling film. Feel like throwing it out of the window every time I (try to) use it.

CombatBarbie · 12/05/2021 21:54

Someone pulling my hair, always has done! whether it be a deliberate pull at school or when the kids brush my hair and it catches a tug.....

NeedCoffeeToSurvive · 12/05/2021 21:57

Door handles, every single door handle in my house is a different height for some stupid reason, some at waist height, others at elbow. I'm always getting my sleeve, dressing gown belt loop or handbag strap stuck on them and end up being pulled backwards, if I'm not getting stuck on them, I'm bashing my arm as I walk past because they're in stupid places.

Wheely bins on pavements, I know they need to be put out for collection, but don't put them right in the middle of the pavement so I have to either walk on the road or move it out of the way.

Overhanging trees from both neighbours in my garden, if I wanted trees covering 50% of my garden I'd plant them myself.

gracelessladyhottramp · 12/05/2021 21:58

Kids getting on the bed while I'm changing sheets gives me the rage.

What is wrong with them and bloody doors? Mine are always fighting about doors: opening them, closing them, locking them, stopping each other going through them, trying to get through first.. it gives me absolute rage.

Wet sleeve cuffs.
People beeping and revving their car right now to to me.
Catching dry skin on clothes.
