Very small things that give you the rage

[Thepearlsthepearls]

Mine are:

1. when you run the tap and it either comes too fast or catches on something else in the sink, thus spraying water everywhere;
2. catching my clothes on the door handle.

These two very minor inconveniences give me the absolute rage. Anyone else?!?!

Yes both of those; also, when the tv does a several second delay when you push a button on the remote. So you press it again, but that switches it off. This goes on for several button pushes sometimes and makes me swear.

Omg YES! That one gets on my nerves too!!

Being left on hold listening to tinny music

Coat hangers getting tangled

Self service checkouts which malfunction with every damn thing you scan

I'm a miserable cow so I have tons of minor things that give me the rage but a few that stick out instantly

1. when people chuck things in the bin like bottles or boxes (we can't recycle at work) without squashing them down first so they take up loads of space
2. people who don't squeeze out the excess water from sponges after washing up
3. when my husband leaves the downstairs loo door slightly open, despite me pointing out 6 million times how much cold air comes through it

When you try to call a business or council and they make you listen to a huge amount of waffle before cheerfully announcing they are too busy to answer and cut you off. Why make you listen to all that shite first? And how rude - at least allow people to choice to hold

People not replacing the loo roll after finishing it.

I always seem to be the first person into the bathroom after them and we have a little wooden toilet roll holder unit it sits inside so it's not immediately obvious if there's none left, or if the little bit sticking out of the hole is the last square. We have storage inside the unit for one more roll but that never gets replaced either.

Not being able to just push my feet into shoes without having to bend down and pull the back of the heel out with my fingers. Gives me the rage every. single. day

Websites that deliberately hide their contact details so it's near on impossible to find a number to call them on.

Not being able to yind my keys purse, phone etc

Have you got a Toshiba TV, by any chance? I've had two and they're FUCKERS for this!

Other people's rubbish blowing into my garden.

People who advertise on Facebook market place and who then see your message and don't reply. The item stays for sale and I don't get it. Happened twice now and I don't understand as I am always polite.

Automated phone lines. I got nowhere looking at the web site so rang the helpline, which tells me "Did you know that you can find your answer a wubbyoo-wubbyoo-wubbyoo... dot com". I'm then asked to choose from x options that don't really mach what I want and am then told to go to " wubbyoo-wubbyoo-wubbyoo... dot com", and am then on hold for several minutes and am told several times that they are excetionally busy and that my call is very important to them.

My current bugbear is people who sell bikes on line and don't include the frame size.You've either got to contact them which is irritating, or enlarge the picture in the hope that they have photographed something on the frame that gives the size away. It's very annoying. Actually that goes for anything where the size is important. I've even seen shoes advertised without a size. Why? Just write the bloody size!

Most things related to transporting small babies. The car seat release which doesn’t always release. The pram handle which sometimes doesn’t fold down properly so you can’t fold the rest of the pram. When I’ve tied the wrap sling not quite perfectly and DS is wonky but it’s not quite bad enough to stop and re tie the whole thing. Car seat straps. In fact, everything car seat related ever.

Cold, old washing up water just left in the sink with a couple of glasses with scummy water in the bottom, and the dishcloth or sponge sat swimming in it which you then have to pick up and squeeze out thereby running the grotto water through your fingers 🤮🤮🤮

No signage outside the clinic that I'm trying to find. I mean, wtf, it's not a secret clinic!

Asking about breast exams in a smear test clinic. It's not that odd, is it, asking about breast exams in a smear clinic? It's all women's health? I just want to know if you offer them? Looked at me like I had two heads

On hold music. JaJa credit card in particular. Guess what I'm doing right now.

When I see “need gone” on Marketplace!

Tangled up coat hangers

Toaster crumbs all over the worktop

Clothes without pockets

Putting something in the bin and missing!

Hair in the lipgloss!

People stopping at roundabouts for no reason

OMG electronic switches - I could swear I will lose a day from life due to standing in front of the washing machine waiting for it to get on - ----push the button ........aaaah, the light eventually turns on. Press again for wash cycle .........aaaaah it's gone to the wrong one...........aaaaah press again - AT LAST - why oh why can't we have mechanica switches - on or off

Our neighbours, who place their dustbin every so slightly across my driveway every single bin day - so I have to get out of my car and move it before I can drive off the drive and to work (I am always on the last minute with 4 children to get ready, so this extra inconvenience causes actual steam to come out of my ears!)

Dirty dishes piled up in the sink.
I get enraged every time I have to empty the sink before I can wash up.

Oh yeah sink detritus, gross! See also bit of rubbish that go into the bin but down the side of the bag rather than into it
