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?!?!

My DH takes out the plastic bag from the kitchen bin, brings it outside to the wheelie bin but doesn't put a new bag into the bin. I don't realise he has gone out to the wheelie bin and press the foot pedal on the kitchen bin (to chuck in the bits from the sink after the washing up for example.). What happens?

I end up chucking the crusty bits from the lasagne for example right onto the bottom of the bin and end up having to wash it out before I can put a clean bag in!

Spleen now fully vented

I'm with your DH, I put a new bag in when I get back. The old back might be dirty or leaky, so I take it straight out rather than put it on the floor.

People who seem to have forgotten (or never knew) how to pronounce words. Or put the emphasis/stress in a weird place.
It bugs me irrationally.

When those reality shows / documentaries (the kind usually found on Channel 4 or 5) show a synopsis of what’s going to happen in the programme. Why is it necessary to see clips of a programme you’re about to watch? Infuriating.

People who laugh after everything they say.

Not being able to find things when you know exactly where they ought to be but they’re NOT THERE.

When you forget a password, and it makes you enter your email address again to reset it, and then when you’ve done that you have to enter both your email address AND your new password again. Why?!

Colleagues in online meetings who put their hands up constantly just to agree with something someone else just said.

Skinny people who moan about being fat.

Those tv shows about very rich people. There was one about elite holidays on the other day, and one hotel restaurant had steaks for £500. For fucks sake, it’s one meal, have a McDonald’s and donate £480 to your local cat rescue or something. Same for ridiculous priced bags, cosmetics etc. Rides my absolute arse.

@LookItsMeAgain

Reading a thread on MN in the morning, forgetting to mark it as "Watch this thread" and subsequently not remembering where the thread was to be able to find it!

That pushes my button so it does!

Yes, this happens too often and I can never track it down next day

I’m living with my MIL at the moment and she doesn’t keep the tea towel in the kitchen. I move it into the kitchen, right by the sink (like a normal person) and when I go to use it next to dry my dripping wet hands, she’s moved it back into the utility room. It’s only about 2 feet away but it DOES MY HEAD IN.

When you think you've filled in a webform properly and click "Continue", but actually you didn't fill in a box you didn't think applied to you (looking at you HMRC, are some of the questions on the online self assessment translated from Tibetan or Esperanto using Facebook Translate, or do they just read that way? ), and it won't let you continue until you have scrolled back up for miles and confirmed that you are NOT in fact an offshore fisherman wishing to offset over 60,000 in capital expenses this tax year.

People gulping their drinks down

Zoom calls on a bad connection line on tv programmes.

@CopperApricot

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

Get an extra long shoe horn. Game changer.

When whoever brings in the bins doesn’t align them to the far side of the garage door, instead leaving them crookedly somewhere in the middle meaning I have to move them to open the door and get something out.

Not putting things back where they find them. Oh look at that lovely lazy Susan with all the sauces, I think I’ll put the soy sauce back on the shelf instead so it’s in the way of the Susan doing her lazy thing

I’m almost at a constant low level of pissed offedness. I do try not to be, it’s everyone else’s fault really.

@MrsAvocet

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!

In a similar vein... those people who put "PM me for prices"

Just put the fucking price on the post

My predictive text ALWAYS changing “and” to abd or abs. WHY, WHEN THE WORD “AND” IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOST USED WORDS?!! Ahhh, that feels marginally better.

I'm living with my DIL at the moment and I keep my teatowel I'm the utility room. she keeps moving into the kitchen, and I have to move it back there every single day...it's only about 2 feet away but it DOES MY HEAD IN.

Radio presenters that do a shouty laugh at something "hilarious" they or another presenter has said. Often on stations like Capital

Pump dispenser bottles that stop working once the contents fall below a certain level, and you can’t unscrew the pump to get at the substantial amount of product still inside.

Pronouncing Brexit as Breggsit.
Calling Test and Trace the Royal Mail's service Track and Trace.
Saying haitch instead of aitch.

When you're trying to have a WhatsApp conversation with your teenager about something such as where something might be in the house and they ignore any further questions after their first response!

Constant assumption that all cyclists are arseholes who break the law and ride through red lights and your a lycra lout because people really can't flipping understand that we wear lycra to stop chafing we don't wear it for fun! But woe betide if a cyclist points that out, there is just steadfast refusal to accept wearing lycra has absoluely nothing to do with someone who cycles and doesn't follow the highway code! That person is an idiot regardless of what they wear.

Trying to plug in a USB, won't go in, turn it round, won't go in, turn it back the original way and it's magically the right way around now aaaaaaaargh every god damn time!

Needing to pee the moment you're finally settled and cosy in bed, despite peeing before you got into bloody bed.

Buying something you've been wanting for a while but put off because it was expensive, finally getting it and then it goes on sale shortly after.

The supermarket not having one staple item you really need so having to faff about going to a different place.

Taking time to style my hair and have it look decent which should last a few days, only to get caught in a random unforeseen downpour on the school run the next morning.

Painting my nails and have them looking perfect only to break a nail the same day.

Spending a large amount in a shop you have a points card for, only to forget said card and then lose the receipt so you can't get the points added next time you're in.

Seeing someone swipe a car parking space you definitely spotted first and were heading for.

I could on, I'm clearly very easily irritated 🤣

People who stop dead at the top of escalators, stairs, or doors 🙄🙄🙄

@Mambles

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

Oh god my mother does this tapping on the glass.
Bloody Knock or ring PLEASE.
It is terrifying on the living room window in particular.
Irritating big time.

People who see you and say "how are you, yes fine thanks "

They don't even listen to your answer, but they answer their question themselves.

(Really interested weren't you)

People who honk their car horns, tutting (or any mouth noise), having phones out on the table when you meet a friend in a café, young children using tablets and smartphones…

Bob's Burgers on ITV2

Noisy eaters, people eating with their mouth open and you are graced with their breakfast going round in their mouth like a bloody washing machine. Crunching, lip smacking - gives me the rage. Chewing gum - close your bastard twatty mouth and stop popping it.

Skid marks down the toilet - someone at work leaves turd tractor marks, it's disgusting. We have a toilet brush, we have toilet duck so please for the love of God, clean your skids.

People that leave their dogs in cars on hot days or walk their dogs on hot days. It was 42 degrees the other week and there was a woman happily walking her large, panting mastiff.

When the teabag splits and I have to make a fresh cup. Although Yorkshire teabags are pretty robust compared to others.

When the wire escapes from my bra and stabs me in the boob.

People that dont pick up their dog shit give me a burning desire to pick it up for them and fling the bag at them.

When I cant get the lid off the jam as I have joint issues. and I am not strong enough Fuck you Jam, I didnt want you on my toast anyway.

People say Epsom...it's bloody Epson...it has an N at the end not an M!
