Mine today, it's nearly TOTM, I've donated blood tonight and so I feel quite weak and hormonal.
Dp offered to cook dinner tonight, I was having steak....he's fucking cremated the bastard thing!! A lovely 28day sirlion grey and thin looking. I could cry.

And DSS 15 is here there too, walked past me and ignored me when I said hi as he walked through the door. Nice.

I think I might have a hormone induced cry to sleep tonight.

Stupid selfies of females covered in 'contouring' and other make-up and doing a troutpout for the camera. It enrages me. They look so stupid and think they are doing something that looks good.

When anyone comes into the kitchen while I’m cooking dinner. I have no problem with my lovely children or husband chatting to me/helping with the cooking/doing whatever they want in the kitchen when I’m cooking any other meal but at dinnertime their mere presence makes me furious. Obviously I don’t tell them this because it’s ridiculous.

danadas · 19/11/2021 21:24

The person being engaged when I'm trying to ring them.

Completely irrational. It's not like everyone should be waiting by the phone in case I decide to call them but still...

@eltsihT

People driving at 40mph… they drive at 40 in a 60 (I can forgive this) and then stay at 40 in a 30 zone…
OH MY GOODNESS - YES!!!!

This seriously is enough to give me the rage just sitting here thinking about it Angry

People getting Botox in their 20s.
I don't understand that.
also orange fake tan,and slugs for eyebrows.
It doesn't impact me but half of them need a good scrub.

Being told I have to go to a massive waste of time meeting because people in my team are numpties and can't do part of their job properly. My manager hasn't got the balls to tackle the problem with the people who can't do it properly so we all have to sit through a presentation from a senior manager who doesn't do our job and has no idea of what we actually do 🤬🤬🤬

Bimblepops · 19/11/2021 21:32

Saying “Happy Christmas” instead of “Merry Christmas”, just completely winds me up and has done for more than 30 years

Daisy829 · 19/11/2021 21:33

When someone is stood in front of the item on the supermarket shelf that I want to get. Totally irrational and unfair but it gives me the rage.

LemonadeSunshine · 19/11/2021 21:34

Other people (lovely family) fidgeting, humming, whistling, cracking fingers, sniffing repeatedly, jangling things....
Some days just breathing Blush

ufucoffee · 19/11/2021 21:34

People who can't/won't whistle. It's great

ufucoffee · 19/11/2021 21:36

And people who reply 'good' when asked how they are. The answer is ok or fine. Good is stupid. Pack it in. Now.

specialsauce · 19/11/2021 21:37

My DM saying goodbye and going out the front door then starting another story, then saying goodbye again and going 2/3 steps then turning around and starting ANOTHER story. Over and again arghhh! FGS why dont you just come back in Mum!!!

Nellesbelles · 19/11/2021 21:39

When you try get something out of the cupboard and something else falls out onto the floor. Brings out a full on hulk rage I don't know why

SisterAgatha · 19/11/2021 21:39

When people are stood by a lift/crossing and no one has pressed the button.

Wtf do they think is going to happen?!

When people are in the wrong and can’t just say sorry. They have to find something tiny and petty or made up that you did, to distract you.

My SIL.

Also I work in customer services.
People call in and rant for 5 mins because letting you speak.
Can I have your order no? Don’t have it.
Ffs.
Ok how about the post code?
Not sure which one it went to.
Alright well what’s your NAME at least?! Why did you make this call without any idea who the fuck you are!!!

THIS IS NOT A MINOR THING. [shaking fist at the heavens]
Patty101 · 19/11/2021 21:45

@YesItsMeIDontCare I don't think I've ever eaten one any other way. You have to bite them in half to see if you can get equal amounts of the filling into each piece. If you don't manage it, then you have another one and try it again. If you do manage it, then you eat another one anyway to celebrate your win. I thought everybody did that?!

RunRunGingerbreadMan · 19/11/2021 21:46

Woodlice treating the place like an insect hotel.

RubyTuesday70 · 19/11/2021 21:49

Covid hysterics.

Just fuck off already, stay at home and quiver in fear - and let the rest of us bloody live.

Getting caught on a door handle Angry

Could also have written @eltsihT 's post!

Don't you think you only EVER get caught on a doorhandle when in a hurryGrin And if you actually TRIED to loop something around a doorhandle on purpose - it would be IMPOSSIBLE🤣
jackiebenimble · 19/11/2021 21:50

DP not emptying the washing up bowl after washing up and leaving the scrubby thing in the stagnant stinking water overnight. And having to deal with it every freakin morning. Including washing the washing up bowl.

Laiste · 19/11/2021 21:50

Oh and discovering you have a catchy toe nail while in bed.

I cannot bare it. I cannot leave it. It gives me instant actual rage!

I'm afraid the light goes on and the file comes out and i do the leg contortions while still on my back to make it smooth again. Sorry DH.

Borisjohnsonshairbrush · 19/11/2021 21:50

@danadasor people that don't answer when they say "call me"
