Things that make you inexplicably angry

[ElsaMars]

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.

I've never ever liked tongue pokers!
It looks almost obscene to me.
Put it away.

Celebrity authors is another pet hate of mine.
I know I can avoid them and not read their work but it still winds me up.

Shit bin bags that always break when taking them out of the bin UTTER RAGE

Screaming kids. Not just an occasional scream, but all day every day type of screaming. Ear piercingly loud screams.Parents of said kids ignoring the screams. JESUS!!!!!

Trans women (born male) competing in female sport. The fact that this is ever allowed is beyond me.

If a crime is committed by a Trans woman, it is recorded as a crime committed by a female.

Male violence against women, for absolutely no reason (not that there ever is a good reason), but like the guys that pushed a woman they didn't know under a train, and the guy in London who pushed a woman in front of a bus.

The constant complaining on radio and TV. No-one ever has anything positive to say.

People who take no responsibility for their own life and expect the Government to literally provide everything they need. I mean people who are fit and healthy (and could work), who decide it's easier to not bother and live off the state. Then complain that they don't have A/B/C and OH, isn't that terrible.

People from category above who complain that immigrants are "taking their jobs".....Er, what? You don't and won't work.

Arm chair politicians, who complain that the Government are getting X/Y/Z wrong - people who have never run a Country in their life and probably graduated with one O'Level

Arm chair scientists, who think they know more about Covid than Chris Witty.

My (young adult) DSS only wears white sports socks even with those sliders what the hell I am so old and every 17 days they all appear in the washing basket. They are identical, apart from the logo. Some have a Nike swish, some have an Adidas logo, some are Puma, etc, etc.

When it comes to pegging them out, I've tried turning it into a game with myself, like a nightmarish sock Pelmanism but by the fifth horrible white sock I am boiling with irrational rage and have to fight the urge to hurl them all over the fence.

What makes it worse is that I'm pretty sure he doesn't give a toss if his left leg is Adidas and his right leg is Puma - and that obviously he should be washing his own socks - but my inner pre-feminist great-great-grandmother CANNOT BRING MYSELF TO BALL THEM UP RANDOMLY.

HS2.

When wire coat hangers get tangled.

Passive aggression. I honestly get angry enough to throttle someone and must retreat from the situation fast, before I say things I can never retract.

My husband giving my bum "a cheeky little smack" when I'm not expecting it. It makes me so cross.

Anyone doing the Poorly Voice. Weak, croaky, slightly higher for guys, slightly lower for women. And you find out that they've got a headache or a pulled back muscle. I always snap something like, "unless you have a sore throat to go with it, you don't have to do the voice!" I just can't let it slide and I don't know why. It makes me so irritable!

Parents who never treat their nit infested kids!!
It's neglect and abuse

Trolley surfers . Stand up and push the bloody things even thinking about it gives me the rage .

Oh! Wet clothing on my skin. Such as when you've been in the rain and the clothes are cold and wet but your body is warm.... so you get confusing sensations that are very uncomfortable. Rage. But also when you have to leave the swimming pool and you're aware of your wet costume and how cold it is against you. Rage

Clothing on my wet skin. Such as when you have to get dressed after swimming. Rage

Washing my hair if I'm ill. Makes me feel even more unwell and then I'm annoyed

@thebakeoffwasntasgoodthisyear

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.

Me too. I’ve found a way to avoid getting angry though - I simply gather the crumbs each time and pop them into his bag (he carries an annoying backpack everywhere). I figure if he likes the crumbs so much, he can carry them around with him.

Small victories! Love it!

DH leaves carrier bags on the work top. Every sodding time he goes shopping, he'll put the 'stuff' away and leaves the carrier bags on the worktop. I've tried stuffing them in places that will annoy him (think laptop bag, coat pockets to prove a point), and it's very childish I know, (and it produces no reaction from him or change in behaviour).

Yes, I have asked him to put them away but they seem to become invisible as soon as they are empty.

Not putting things away after using them, drives me barmy!

People who are utterly blind to the advantages they’ve had in life and who act like those less fortunate than them clearly just aren’t trying hard enough.
People who blame women for the shitty things their partners do.
Anyone who believes the “Just World” fallacy.

My washing machine. It beeps at me until I turn it off and I have to really stop myself kicking it when I’m upstairs and can’t get to it immediately. Shouty cunt.

Headphones catching on things and being pulled out. I had to get Bluetooth ones so I didn’t give myself a rage induced stroke.

Anything cold and wet
Sleeves
Floors
Trousers essentially jeans when raining
Washing up gloves

Having to repeat myself

When you go for a big shop and a lot of things are out of stock especially essentials

People who breath loudly

Greedy people

People who take the last bit of food on table even though they’ve had their fair share or asking anyone

People like my BIL who sit down to eat by even asked and start piling on their plates without consideration of how much food there is vs people

People who turn up unexpected

Cheeky fuckers of any kind

People smoking whilst standing next to you eg at the bus stop

Those who assume you have the same amount of cash to splash as them

The beeping washing machine drove dh mad when we first got it.
He looked up the manual of how to disable this function and peace was restored!
Look up the manual booklet or online for your model. It didn't bother me too much but he was ' mr angry ' about it for a few days!

the woke newspeak, aka "inclusive" language. "Birthing persons" etc. I always pretend that as a non-native speaker, i don't understand.

Blaring car or motorbike exhausts.

owners standing at the furthest stretch of the lead while their dog takes a poo.

energy drinks.

People eating loudly, chewing gum and fiddling, stroking their hair. And my colleague for whom the term 'virtue signalling' might have been invented

Jesus, I had no idea how angry I was, because basically everything on this thread pisses me off. Except when my cats immediately hop into the litter tray as soon as it's pristine. Perfectly reasonable and reminds me of the bloke in Ally McBeal who likes a fresh bowl.

May I add: any kind of group WhatsApp or email thread where everyone is copying all on insignificant drivel. Makes me want to kill.

That every honey jar in the supermarket is already sticky.

Most of these. I'm just a miserable, menopausal misanthrope 😧
