Very small things that give you the rage

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?!?!

The coathangers! There surely must be some way to store them without them getting all tangled up.

People knocking on the living room window, instead of ringing the doorbell

The kitten using the litter tray and digging to Australia so more litter is on the floor than in the tray.
And then being much too cute to be annoyed with.
Far too many conflicting emotions for me!

People leaving tins and yoghurt pots in the sink ‘to soak’ THEY’RE NOT FUCKING ORNAMENTS

@Mumbles That gives me rage too

People adding a high importance flag to emails that aren’t important at all.

"Free cash" signs on cash machines. It's not free cash, it's my cash, you just aren't making me pay to have some of it.

Also "for free". As in "he gave me the drink for free". It's just "free".
"Different to" or "different than", rather than "different from."

Radio djs singing or talking over songs. Club djs starting a song then messing about with it, especially repeated stop /start nonsense. Just play the sodding song! People are trying to dance here, not play musical f-ing statues!

lLterally everything right now.
Damp teatowels, forgetting my tea and it going cold, my car windscreen steamed up every time I get in, constant shit music on every radio channel, accidentally making a mess when I'm trying to clean up, needing to wash my hair, needing to shave my legs, the boring same every day news, the sun getting in my eyes when I'm driving, someone calling my name when I've just sat down, having to go back upstairs AGAIN for the eleventyeth time in 5 minutes, I could go on and on and on . . .

youhavenoshameonyourface · 31/01/2022 18:23

my own constant typos as I can't be bothered to coreect them

ladymary86 · 31/01/2022 18:24

See my current AIBU thread on the unsightly sign outside my house 😡

JSL52 · 31/01/2022 18:30

People faffing around after they've got petrol.

Daenerys77 · 31/01/2022 18:36

Websites where you have to go into the Vendor preferences and individually reject cookies for over a hundred different companies because the site hasn't opted for a Reject All button and has set the default to On with the reasoning that people will give up after the first 125 individual gestures

OMG yes. And that 'legitimate interest' crap.

Alexa saying 'hmmmmmmmmm' before announcing that she 'doesn't know that one'.

Assembly/operating instructions which are entirely in pictures. WHY CAN'T THESE PEOPLE USE WORDS?

Labels printed in tiny white lettering on a pastel background.

Unnecessary 'improvements' to computer software. I've just wasted an hour of my time trying to save an adobe document made by combining two separate documents - because I now have to tick an additional little box somewhere.

Adverts popping up on facebook, which have absolutely no connection with any of my interests or previous purchases - making a complete nonsense of their algorthymns (sp). See also Twitter.

ValBiro · 31/01/2022 18:54

"Your PC will restart in 1 minute" when you ignored the pop up that gave you a useful 6 hour heads up at 9am....

ValBiro · 31/01/2022 18:55

Also... #VALUE!

Fuck off!

@BlowDryRat

The lock on the induction hob that rarely deigns to recognise my finger on the unlock button on the first go.
I have this… but with the bloody aqualisa showers, the washing machine AND tumble dryer!

I have to rub my hands together like some demented goblin to get the bloody things to work!

Leah2005 · 31/01/2022 19:02

Having to squeeze around the end of the bed to get to my side because the gap between the footboard and wall is slightly too narrow for my hips. Plastic food storage tubs which look the same but have slightly different lids. Making space in a cupboard only to find DH has filled it again rather than make his own space. And bloody shoes everywhere.

Somanysocks · 31/01/2022 19:03

Stepping in a bit of water when you're wearing socks.

BoodleBug51 · 31/01/2022 19:08

DH and leaving his sodding shoes right as you step inside the back door. We spent nearly £1k on a very fancy shoe cupboard in the hallway. Can he open the fucking door to it? Can he hell.

It may be the final straw that lands him under the patio.

youhavenoshameonyourface · 31/01/2022 19:09

Especially when you've just put them in arggghhhh

peaceanddove · 31/01/2022 19:11

Poor spoken grammar - or written, for that matter. Rage inducing.

BobbieT1999 · 31/01/2022 19:13

The woman next to me in yoga who puffs and huffs and phoofs through her lips through every. Single. Exercise.

TroysMammy · 31/01/2022 19:13

Posters advertising an event still being displayed months after.

TeaAddict235 · 31/01/2022 19:19

People not clearing up dog poo

People who think that it is okay to let their dog poo on the path outside of my house on their way to the farms

Dog owners who hang the dog poo bags on trees along farm paths etc and do not dispose of responsibly

MiniPumpkin · 31/01/2022 19:20

When I’m clearly sitting at my office desk on the phone.. in full blown convo with the person at the end of the line .. and a colleague will just walk in and start talking at me and they wait for an answer wtf. I find it baffling the amount of people that do this.
