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?!?!

Whacking my shins on a wooden bedframe. Which I used to do EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. before I got a new bed. And bedroom.

Now I whack my hands and arms on things instead.

I am very clumsy.

1. Open presses
2. Foot or hand tapping
3. Taps not turned off properly
4. Cold house
5. Noisy eaters
6. People who don't introduce themselves on the phone

This is for starters 😀

Mirrors in public toilets that were put up too high by a tall man. Sometimes I can't see ANY of my face in those mirrors.
Ditto hand dryers in toilets, why are they at shoulder height? The drips run up your arm. They should be at hand height, say 1m off the floor.

@CopperApricot that makes me cross too, you need one of these. I hold the shoe open at the top, put toes in, then use it to hold the back open and put my heel in

Self service checkouts

Walking behind slow people when I'm in a hurry with no space to get past

The phonetic alphabet (I know it's a really irrational irritation and I'm most probably the only person who is irritated by it)

People who park right next to you in a near empty car park with loads of other spaces available.

Gentle parenting

People who let their dogs off the lead with no control over them and allow them to bother others with little/no regard

People who don't say please and thank you.

Definitely getting caught on door handles.

And when people leave their trolley in the middle of the carpark instead of taking it back

Coffee grounds in the washing-up sponge.
People getting names slightly wrong, just enough to be annoying (Cath Kitson; Kirsten Scott Thomas).
Pouring a cup of herbal tea where the bag has a tag and the tag goes into the cup.

People not pressing the buttons at crossings. I just made it to the crossing the other day and was like 'Yes! just made it' but the traffic just started again. I looked about and there were people standing waiting to cross but no one had pressed the button. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Acrylic nails tap tap tapping on keyboards and phone screens

People who are in front of me at the petrol pump then go into the shop for a good slow wander around before selecting the items they wish to purchase and then finally paying for their fuel.

I've got loads. Must be a right cantankerous old mare!

DH coming into a tidy house and managing to deposit belongings on EVERY available surface instantly making everything untidy.

DS’s never using the cloakroom and always hanging coats on chair backs instead.

When you’ve tabbed through loads of automated call options — finally get through to the right department— and they cut you off

Alexa not playing what you ask her too off Spotify. It’s like she’s intentionally mishearing me!

People pulling out really slowly from junctions.

The thin plastic film that you get on microwave ready meals etc that never comes off in one piece so you end up peeling it off in hundreds of smaller pieces all whilst burning your hand on the steam escaping. Argh! Please tell me I'm not the only one this happens to!

You need to tear it nearly off before you heat it up (just put it back loosely over the top, I mean.)

I literally can't stand it when people with a blocked nose speak funny and your can really hear it when they say words with M and N in 😂
Also I can't stand snoring!
And lastly, when people have their bare feet out and they continuously move their toes up and down without realising it gives me literal RAGE!

(Yes I am a bit OTT)

The little peely-offy things on top of eg Mayo or milk bottles. A) they never peely-offy properly and 2) when they have been removed the other person who lives in my house ALWAYS leaves them on the worktop.

See also- bacon packets. Peel here my arse

People who say/type brought when they mean bought

@GeneLovesJezebel

When I’m browsing Next and I click on an item to look at it, when you then go back it’s never to where you were.

Oh god yes this. So annoying.

Alexa told me she didn't know who I was the other day. I was most offended!

Council hold music repeatedly playing the same whiny tinny section of 1 song over and over again

getting cuts off plastic food packaging

Buying a cup of tea and getting a cup of hot water and the tea bag on the side. Doesn't brew right.

The noise flip flops make when people walk.

1.The fact my kitchen draining board fails at its one and only purpose which is to drain water. Instead it just puddles underneath.

2.My neighbours keeping their bins in the alley between our houses, it's shared, therefore shouldn't be obstructed.

3.Elderly people

4.My dining room light switch, it's in a stupid place

When the lid of the squeezy mayonnaise, ketchup etc half breaks off, so it's left hanging on by only half the plastic hinge thing on the lid.

Lack of (adequate) pockets in clothes. Why should women's clothes have less pockets, no pockets, or much smaller pockets? I want to put my phone in there!

Onion skin! In my backpack, in the corner of the kitchen floor, little papery scraps of it under the microwave... every blooming place. It flutters about like confetti, cursed stuff. Honestly, I think I've got it all but then there's more.

Using the last of the milk and not replacing it.

Discovering there's no milk after making tea.

People walking slowly and diagonally so getting past them is impossible

@Scout2016

Looking at an online recipe that has a good rating. Then reading the reviews to find everyone has put stuff like "Fabulous recipe, really tasty! I did tweak slightly; swapped the chicken for fish, basil for cloves, doubled the amount of cream, halved the cooking time, left out the potatoes and added spinach and chillis... - 5 stars!" Well, maybe what you cooked was tasty, but you didn't really cook THIS recipe did you? So your review is of F all use to anyone! Getting cross just thinking about it.

And when they drastically change the recipe and then complain that it wasn't quite right.

I mean, really?? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Any kind of whistling.

Women who wear heels and don't replace the heel tips so the clack clack noise is so loud. See also men who add metal tips to their heels and click as they walk.

My cat incessantly pooing on the lawn despite having a lovely clean litter tray. Holly and garlic granules going down this week
