*light hearted* minor things that give you rage.

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.

When people don’t wave to say thank you when you let them merge in front of you when driving.

People who cluster to chat on the pavement so you either have to step into the traffic to get by or stop and say, "Excuse me, may I get through, please?!" and give you dirty looks as they reluctantly make way.

People on the phone who ask, "What was your name?" and I say, "It hasn't changed, it's still Newly!" and wonder if they want my maiden name (married nearly 50 years!😱) or something. Why not just ask "What is your name?"?

@ufucoffee

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

Especially annoying when they mean well. Good and well are different and not interchangeable

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.

This made me laugh because I can relate completely 😂
I could never be on one of the cookery/baking shows or Come Dine With Me. How could you cook a decent three course meal with a producer and camera crew hovering over you with a boom mike?

Well this thread has thoroughly cheered me up. Have been lying here trying to sleep since 2:30am, listening to my DH grunting and squeaking like a demented hamster (which also gives me rage, but not unreasonably I think).

Agree with SO MANY of these. My own personal unreasonable rage comes from the little green bin from the council for food waste. Why the fuck would you design a bin for vegetable peelings that DOESN'T FUCKING STAY OPEN? Am I supposed to peel my vegetables in one place and transfer them to the bin? NO. I want to peel them straight into the bin and I'm filled with ridiculous rage every time we have carrots or spuds.

Similar to a PP, going down a gloriously almost empty aisle in a supermarket and knowing without a shadow of a doubt that the completely random item you came for will be blocked by a couple just humming and aahing over the same item for five minutes.. before meandering away without buying 🤬

Pulling teabags apart when decanting from the box into the tea caddy........and one of them tears, throwing tea everywhere 🤬
Then after cleaning it up, stomping off with the cup of tea, where the door handle is laying in wait to grab your dressing gown sleeve or belt loop, causing your tea to slosh everywhere 🤬 🤬
The cowing teabags and door handles are in cahoots with each other, I swear!

My cat jumping onto my bladder and so making me gey out of bed.

When rechargeable devices run out of battery in the middle of the night and buzz or beep loudly for attention. Just turn yourself off and wait for the morning Ffs! RAGE

@SockFluffInTheBath, re adjectives and adverbs, me too. I hope I’ve dinged it into dds, though. At about 10, when asked how she’d done in school tests, dd2 replied, ‘English was OK, Mum, but I did really craply at maths.’ 😂

‘I’m good,’ as a reply to ‘How are you?’ really grates on me, too.

@BorderlineHappy

The logic of Botox young is that if you do it before the wrinkle form, you will have fewer to deal with later in life. Prevention is better than cure.

People who press the train door 'open' button repeatedly like they're playing fucking Hungry Hippos before the train has even stopped.

People who start posts with 'so'. It is a conjunction ffs.
People saying 'that' instead of 'who' (as in 'people that start posts with so') It is 'who' for people!
Don't get me started on 'yourself'!

After this pandemic, people in my personal space.

Back the fuck up.

Oh shit, I do this when fast forwarding on the remote and send DH crazy.

Films or TV programmes where an older male character is paired off with a much younger female character. Or the male character is much less attractive than the female character. Pair them equally please!!

One series nearly pushed me over edge where one young male character of quite average looks was always chasing or paired off very attractive females. Then there was a scene where he was indignant about an average looking female liking him - in the sense "how dare she think she would have a chance with me!!

People who stand in the middle of a busy road that they're trying to cross when there's a pedestrian crossing 15 feet away. Extra rage inducing when it's dark and they're wearing dark clothing. When I'm supreme ruler this will be an endorseable offence.

When PEOPLE hang their coats on the end of the staircase when the coat fucking twatting hooks are within arms reach right next to the fucking staircase.

OR
On the back of the dining room chair having walked past the fucking actual coat hooks to get to the dining room chair.

Clothes shops that intentionally hide the label with price and size inside the clothes, forcing you to delve into them. Why?

Yes! DH and DD walk through the hall past shoe drawers and coat cupboard and leave their coats and bags on the dining table or the back of the chairs and their shoes in the middle of the floor. WHY??

Have another one.

So doesn't put his bastard phone on silent and DSD is currently in bangkok decides to message with pics of her latest meal and hotel update and forgotten the time difference over there, we were 3am. Couldn't get back to sleeeeeepeh!

The recycling men leave our boxes right in the middle.of our driveway every week, why they can't put them very slightly to the left, where they were placed, I have no idea, they must know that I can't drive over them!!
It drives me barmy

I hate dishes left in the sink. It's so annoying. Put it in the dishwasher, wash it or if your a guest put it next to the sink.

I hate it when my in laws visit and don't ring the doorbell or knock at the front door, they try and come through the side gate and peer through the windows like zombies.

People who announce their child's birthday on FB - Our gorgeous girl Amy is five today!! followed by "How did that happen?
Irritates me intensely
