*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.

Incorrect use of

• less and fewer
• affect and effect

When people who are saying millilitres or millimetres say ‘mill’ instead of ‘mills’. Irrational pettiness I know.

The word belly. Can’t stand it.

Extended family member who times brewing her tea for exactly 3mins USING A TIMER. I am an obsessive person but really?

Vintage items in period dramas, especially now they're recreating the 1970s and 80s.

Yes, by golly, that's an original vintage item being used as a prop, but IT LOOKS 40 YEARS OLD!

An item like that would have been made THEN. It should look brand new!

People who say 'ass' instead of 'arse', and 'ass-hole' instead of 'arse'. It is American English and sounds stupid (imho)

How about mixing up much and many?

Appears to be a growing phenomenon. "Many" will be obsolete soon 🤔

Also, people who say 'Butt' instead of 'bum' Another stupid American word when we have a perfectly decent one already.

@grooveonthemove

Motorists pootling along! FFS if you're lost, just pull over and let people get past you.

Yes! Pull over and look at a map. And if you go the wrong way it is not the end of the world, you can turn around!

Not so lighthearted but people who park on pavements. And people who arrive 45 minutes early to collect their children from school and leave their engines running.

People using "impacting" and "gifting" when they mean affecting and giving.

@Okbye

People who walk 2/3/more abreast and don’t make any effort to move or ‘tuck themselves in’ when I’m coming the other way (on the edge of the pavement as far over as I can be).

This is mainly on the school run, and I’m seriously on the verge of just shouting ‘FUCKING MOVE!!!’ when they make no effort to.

Yes I often feel like this too when people won't go single file. A massive gripe during lockdown but it predates that. Also keep left!

@Damnyoureyes

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.

Oh dear, I do the first of these

Selfie face. I would be absolutely mortified if someone caught me taking a selfie in a public place, maybe that's just my age but I would feel like a complete wally. And the faces people pull while doing it!! - proper duck pout lips, chin cocked to one side, often accompanied by peace sign hand and a jaunty hip. Ha! I also know people who can't look in a mirror without doing the duck pout, it winds me right up!

@danadas

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...

Yes!! Especially when I'm trying to call them back immediately after I've missed their call and the reason it's engaged is because they're leaving me a voicemail! Don't get me started on voicemail! 😡

People saying lend rather than borrow, and lent rather than borrowed.
As in, Jane borrowed me her pen.

People being late, wish it didn't but it infuriates me haha

Oh and people spelling lose as 'loose' and vice versa

My DH opening the next bottle of milk but leaving the almost empty (perhaps 1/8 full) one behind in the fridge… because I know he wants the fresher milk but he’s happy to let me use up “the dregs” lol

Or parking lot

Or takeout

Or pissed (not drunk pissed)

Anyone using Americans unless they are American

Mine is posters who watch the first 2 minutes of a drama then post "I'm confused" "what's going on", etc. It's a 6 part drama. Let it slow burn. FFS

The phrase 'you've got this'

When shampoo bottles are almost empty and they keep toppling over

The eating trials on I'm a celebrity

The phrase 'checked over as a precaution'

Kissing/ whispering sounds on tv. Or in real life

Also, when you speak to people and they are close enough to hear you but can't be bothered to process what they've heard, so instead they impulsively say 'huh'? And make you repeat yourself

5 hours on the A1 today. You can imagine the rage. People in the outside lane not actually overtaking. Just fuck off! People overtaking at 60 in a 70, extra slowly. Omg, kill me now!

Yeah, tinnitus makes me do that to people. Doesn't matter how close you think you are, the hiss means I've haven't heard a fucking word of your sotto voce mumbling.

Swimming this morning and I saw the same two plasters on the side that were there last week
Fucking grim.

When you come to a junction to turn left or right and the car coming along stops and waves you to go! I know they are being nice but it annoys me, I like to go in my own time when the coast is clear.

@lollipoprainbow

When you come to a junction to turn left or right and the car coming along stops and waves you to go! I know they are being nice but it annoys me, I like to go in my own time when the coast is clear.

Do you mean when it's busy or when it's the only car?

I think if you're turning left and it's busy this is great. Turning right and it's busy, a nice intention but unsafe as the their stopping doesn't guarantee you can actually go. I'd their the only car, it's plain just weird!!

On the subject of traffic I've recall something the bugs me. When yours at a contolled junction and on a red the traffic stops (not what annoys me- bviously!!) . When I'm several cars back and the car in front or possibly se real cars stop, leaving a significant amount of space between them and the car in front of them (also doesn't annoy me - well does at certain junctions bit that's because of clearance at a junction behind and I'd need a diagram to explain that). Anyway, what annoys me is they then slowly creep forward for the entire time the red light is showing so unless you join in with the madness you end up with at least a car length in front of you. If there's a lot of them in front that have done the same it's even worse.- a jumbo jet could land in the space they leave.

Annoys the hell out of me. Don't know why.

The bloody woman on the bus who puts her bag next to her and never moves it

It's a bus used by school know ds and they glance but don't ask her to move

@LavenderAskew when it's busy and there are cars behind them and cars coming the other way. Let me do it in my own time argh !!

Bin juice.
