*light hearted* minor things that give you rage.

[Borisjohnsonshairbrush]

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.

Hangers.

Dh, wanting to chat in bed. Nope. Not a chance. Not interested. You've had all night

@Bimblepops

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

I dislike Happy Christmas too, but it's Happy Holidays that makes me irrationally annoyed. Not sure why though, it makes no difference to anyone else as far as I can see.

People who leave Voice Messages, just bloody text, I don’t want to listen to your waffle
Bluetooth, Google drive, and all the other tech that would make life easier except it doesn’t work
Itchy winter skin
Itchy dry eyes
People who constantly inflict their stress on others (I am frequently one of those people)
People who stop randomly in doorways etc (I am frequently one of those people)
Any expectation whatsoever that I cook mid week
Bills and home admin. Why so much hassle?
Doing expenses
Doing taxes.
Feeling tired
Knowing I should go to bed

@haveyouopenedyourbowelstoday

Hangers.

Oh god, me too!!

Listening to a song I love (or any song) on the radio and the car automatically changes the station to the travel update.
I stab the < > button to get my music back. But my equilibrium is irretrievably upset.

My DH use to play with his highly polished zippo lighter all the time when he was watching tv . It caught the light and either shined in my eyes or lit up the wall / celling . It was like having a disco ball in the house !

My robot vac ( which i love normally ) ate my boot laces this morning while I was getting ready for work , it took me nearly 10 mins to unravel the bugger

Waterproof trousers. I'm an adult, I've been able to dress myself for years, but when I try to put waterproof trousers on I end up hopping around, trying to get to the wall or a door for balance.

One day I had the 'brilliant' idea to just sit on the bed to put them on. That was worse! Of course I had to stand up 2/3 of the way through to pull them up, and then I stood on the hems and flumped back down on the bed. Aaaaaargh!

I very rarely swear IRL but I made an exception that day!

DH using me as a freaking table! Hold the bloody remote yourself! Don’t decide to rest it on my knee! If he does it again I swear to god he’s going to have to do the volume with his pancreas or some other internal organ

HENRY HOOVER

People who when in the wrong lane on a roundabout forget how to drive and instead turn off and come back to the roundabout cut across you

People who can't answer a question

"What's your name so I can find you on the system?"
"I knew you would ask that! Well I don't think I've been in before but oh yes I bought something but that was for my old one and then we moved to London so I haven't been back since. That was 2001 anyway and I think your company was a different name then. We got divorced and she kept the car so this is a new one and..."
Me "ok. What's your name?"
Repeat for the next 10 questions

Also people that talk at me in the morning. It is 7.30 and if you leave me to have two mugs of tea I will be much more pleasant than if you try and get whole sentences out of me about random shit like who is on bake off

@TerribleCustomerCervix

I’ll sound like a total wanker here, but the “art” sold in The Range, Dunelm etc.

Rows and rows of reproduction, generic seaside landscapes or graphics saying shit like “this kitchen was made for dancing”.

It’s not even cheap, and you can get much nicer originals sold directly by their artists on Etsy etc.

The themed ones drive me nuts

In this house we.....

followed by quotes from different tv series or Disney films

Things that give me the rage

Smokers and their dog ends
Dog poo
Catching my sleeve/belt/coat on passing any door handle
My inability to have chocolate in the house without eating all of it

It takes 45 mins to leave any event with ANY of my husband's family. Have to say goodbye to every individual person and start a long chat with them in the process, while I'm standing there loaded up with the kids and all their stuff. With my family we just shout bye and are out the door.

@SisterAgatha

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!!!

Stop it, I'm crying

"Can't you find me from my name?"
Yeah ok I can try that because you don't know your postcode, order number, day you ordered it, what you ordered or your own date of birth so go on...
"It's John smith"

Letting someone out in traffic and they don't say thank you gives me the rage.

I wouldn't say it gives me the rage but I hate it when buskers sing with microphones in the street they are usually singing songs I don't like as well. I don't mind hearing people sing, but not with a microphone. I feel like it's being forced upon me haha

The so called easy peel corners on some food packaging.
I attempt to use them, swear when they don't work and then stab the packet open with a knife. I feel I'm living in hope that this time, just once, it'll work. I then get ratty with myself for having been fooled yet again. 😳

People writing "myself" when they mean "me" or even "I" - "myself and my colleague really appreciated your help" aaaaargh

Lots of others already mentioned including all the driving ones

Somehow I’ve wrangled myself into a situation where dp doesn’t even think of dinner any more, unless I state we’re not doing it (9 months ago it was equal).

Also, my 3 year old has a habit of getting up really early and fully emptying the freezer. That’s worse because I can’t even show my true feelings about the situation.

*unless I state I’M not doing it

Shiny grey kitchens.

Specifically, developers buying up lovely Victorian homes and filling them with shiny grey tiles, shiny grey kitchens, grey window surrounds, grey paint.

In 1,000 years an advanced civilisation will look at the shitheap of plastic our world has become and think wtf with all the grey?

Also, bloody SITTING

My husband has endless Yorkshire aunties who are all about seventy and mean as stoats. For some reason we are expected to drive up and see them so the men can go for a walk [growls] and the women and children can indulge in hour after hour of tedious, mind-breakingly awful bloody sitting.

Tins of tuna with ring pull lids that just won't budge. I am hungry and I want my tuna out of the tin and on my jacket potato. I may have shouted at the bastard.
