Things that make you incandescent that you know are unreasonable

[nightlarking]

I'll start;

People being hellishly "loud" around the napping baby when actually they are not being particularly noisy/behaving perfectly reasonably.

@DarlingFell

People who say, for example, “just let myself know”.

It’s ME FFS. ME!!!

😡 😂

This one right here... it makes myself very angry!!!

I'll get flamed for this but I don't particularly care!
Any DIY program on TV that jumps in to help families sort their property out... not talking about those that help people that are ill or had a disaster (although, shouldn't they have home insurance?). I mean like one I briefly saw earlier, mum and dad were low level hoarders so they hadn't decorated for many years. Nick knowels and team swoop in and as long as the family remove half of their possessions from the property the team redesign and redecorate it for them.....really, live in a shit hole long enough and someone just sorts it all out for you? Meanwhile the guy on the news in social housing that was leaking faeces through his ceiling could have been watching that program and I got the rage on his, and many others behalf

Dogs off leads in public places.

Businesses on Facebook who say 'Sneak Peak'. It's PEEK!!

My friends boys fighting, they are 8 and 6. I can’t stand it

Eating/saliva noises. My MIL is the worst, she kind of smacks her lips and makes these awful saliva noises even when not eating. Turns my stomach and gives me the most unreasonable rage. She stood behind me the other day when I was looking up something on the computer for her and I thought I might explode.

Also people who spell ‘lose’ as ‘loose’

And people who pile dirty dishes up high in the sink, sometimes with food still in them.

And a relatively new one is masks on tables. Get your dirty germ ridden rag away from my food!!

I think this is probably quite reasonable so probably the wrong thread, but:

• friends who lecture you/make "helpful" suggestions. I've been on this planet for 45 years but a friend who's staying this week has seen fit to lecture me on which eggs I should buy, job sites I should use and various other things. It's meant helpfully but a) I'm an adult, b) I didn't ask and c) fuck off you condescending twat. I have felt ^judged^ on my lifestyle/food choices/every fucking thing this weekend despite driving them round various lovely places and I have a few more hours of relentless chatter to endure before I can wave them off with a cheerful smile and skip back home. There have been several suggestions of a return visit but I can assure you it will not be repeated.

Ugh, other people.

DH commentating on shopping while I am unpacking it without helping to unpack.
"Oh
cheese....cereal....brocoli....peppers....pasta...etc etc"
YES I KNOW WHATS THERE I JUST BOUGHT IT!!!

Small children pointing out how short I am, either to their parents or to me. And telling me they're taller and have bigger feet than me.
Thank you.
I am very short. I've noticed. It wasn't your own achievement that made you taller than me! You just had more favourable genes.

I must be some crank but all of these for me!!! Except the radio. I love talk radio in the car.

People who come and talk to me when I’m eating. Just. Fuck. Off.

People reading over my shoulder. I was on the tube once and a guy was blatantly reading my phone over my shoulder so I went to the notes app and typed ‘fuck off and stop reading over my shoulder’.

I share an office and my colleague always puts on some crap telly through speakers. It's like I'm not even there. Does my head in.

@SpindleWorld

And what *@EineReiseDurchDieZeit* said about posters clumsily referencing a couple of old moderately amusing threads like it automatically makes them the reincarnation of Dorothy Parker.

Yes. Or as if those threads themselves merited a place at the Algonquin Round Table, when they’re at best a mildly amusing anecdote that somehow has posters Crying With Laughter/Spitting Tea on Their Keyboards etc.

When people send me a '?' as a sole message because I haven't yet responded to an earlier non urgent question they had sent to me. It's so rude.

When I'm reading and someone says "what are you reading? " and then "what's it about?" Like I'm going to stop reading and give you a synopsis of the book when I know you don't really care anyway...

People standing behind me so that they can see my screen if I'm on my phone or a computer - I'm only ever either doing uni work or maybe on FB or whatever, nothing sinister, but it makes me want to stab them. DH has learned not to do it!

@Afonavon

Fireworks any night other than November the 5th. Arseholes!

However people use them to celebrate Eid and comemorate a lost loved one, which is reasonable I guess (but irritates the tits off me).

Thing is, there are silent fireworks avai6. So I think noisy fireworks should be completed banned and their manufacture immediately stopped.

This strange usage of the world incandescent.

In my old house when my next door neighbour would put their bins out late at night … because the noise made MY dog bark.
(AND half the time the noise would remind DH to put the bins out himself)

People, who work in offices, ringing me up in the course of their work - they let the phone ring three times, then ring off. I do not spend all day at home, at my desk 18 inches away from my phone! I I may be in the garage, sorting out the freezer and have to run into the kitchen then the lounge, by which time they have rung off! Or, I may be upstairs and have to run downstairs, as DH has lost the upstairs phone somewhere in the mess of papers on his desk!

My niece pretending to be a dog or a dinosaur, or worse, asking me to be a dog or a dinosaur. Can't she do something sensible?!

Door knobs that grab your sleeve as you go by them.
Dirty jeans put in the wash with one leg inside out.
Wire coat hangers that tangle up unnecessarily.

Whole families who go along to watch their little darling Horseriding, and being loud and obstructive in the process. Fuck off! I'm here to chill out and enjoy the quiet, and watch my daughter do her thing. Not listen to you all talking about Moira next door at full volume. 😒

This strange usage of the world incandescent.

It's not particularly strange, though -- lighting up when heated, and often used metaphorically to suggest being enraged or feeling strongly about something?
