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.

Those ties that go round the the top of the bread, I just end up ripping the bag open

I start out with good intentions with these things and just end up with a big hole in the bag and a flattened slice of bread whilst sobbing in a heap in the corner of the kitchen. Getting foil or cling film to behave makes me even worse. Cling film was designed by the devil.

Used to collect them and put them on my bike wheels!

People who list their education at the University Life on Facebook or their jobs as Full Time Mummy.

Being tickled. Makes me mad with rage.

Butter in the jam. Grrrr.

SakuraEdenSwan1 · 13/05/2021 21:09

When I go to the toilet and my youngest always want to go the exact same time, or he pokes his head around the door to pester me

FunnyWonder · 13/05/2021 21:09

Just realised my examples don't make me inexplicably angry. My anger is entirely justifiedGrinGrin

Says no more !

Amen to ^^

Fully agree they get on my wick end!

People teens shrugging in response to a perfectly reasonable question such as "would you like gravy"?

@Noshowlomo

The sounds of my husband eating and drinking. That fucking gulp. I want to rip his throat out.
Hey. Here's your mate. Except I can't bear the chewing also. Makes me rage like I am about the kill him.
MrsCrosbyNRTB · 13/05/2021 21:28

Getting the cuffs of my cardigan / jumper / hoodie wet when I shower the DC despite rolling them up 🤬

Getting damp socks (see above) when I can’t find my slippers

Banging my head on a cupboard door that I’ve forgotten to shut

Computers. All the bloody time. Computers. They never ever work for me. I save something and then want to attach it to an email. Is it where I saved it? Is it bollocks. Bastard smug tech bastards.

Hospital senior managers.

The phrase "educate yourself" being used as a retort instead of a reasoned argument

RedRec · 13/05/2021 21:44

The sun when it is low in the sky and is all glary when I am driving. I am always driving towards it. And yes I do wear sunglasses - they don't really help.

Yes!

the80sweregreat · 13/05/2021 22:06

We are an angry mob!

Definitely! It is possible to be just as educated as the next person yet still arrive at a different opinion

I line manage someone who whispers. It does my nut in. Even worse when we're masked in the office.
Also - show sneezers
Sniffers
Ds faffing when eating dinner. Takes him 3 times as long as the rest of us.
Crumbs. On surfaces and floors.

CirqueDeMorgue · 13/05/2021 22:43

Accidentally hurting myself.

@carlywurly
Dare I ask...what is a "show sneezer" ?

LongPauseNoAnswer · 14/05/2021 05:21

Yes to all of the new “inclusive language“ shite and the complete invasion of women’s spaces, sports, jobs etc. by misogynistic men who clearly hate women.

Middle lane drivers. I want to ram them into the outside AND EMPTY lane.

Any type of unfairness. DDs college have changed payment handler for the student digs rent. The cost of €2 for the pleasure of paying online with a credit card has been added. I got so angry and wrote to them that they can find another payment method for us that doesn’t include a forced penalty or sing for the rent payment. Cheeky bastards putting the payment fee on the students Angry

Also known as “Performance Sneezing”. Usually it’s done by a man who wants to be the loudest sneezer in the world.

Think aaaaaaaccccchhhhhhoooooooooooooooo at ear busting decibels. Hmm

TaraR2020 · 14/05/2021 08:38

Oh, you means my DF sneezes?? 😆

Mumoblue · 14/05/2021 08:47

Right now it’s trying to get an email off of the council. They’ve been giving me the runaround for a few days when all I need is a copy of my bill.
Got a nice lady on the phone this morning who said she’d get the email to me ASAP. Thanked her profusely.
Have I been emailed? Nope! Sad

FunnyWonder · 14/05/2021 09:24

DS's arse settling comfortably onto the toilet for a poo EVERY DAY just as we're leaving the house.

FunnyWonder · 14/05/2021 09:29

Just noticed the post about sneezing. My mum's sneezing makes me want to throttle her! Aaaaa-WA-hooo! Christ, it's bad.

DP's isn't much better. I feel real anger every time it makes me jump. But he says my polite little snort-sneeze really pisses him off tooGrinGrin
