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?!?!

Bathroom shelf dominoes - you pick something up off the shelf or window sill , knocking some other item over and have to watch while 3 or 4 other items are knocked off.

Shopping basket at the checkout where you can’t put your basket on the stack because someone has left one of the handles folded across the basket.

People who park in parent and baby spaces with 10 year olds! Or no kids at all!

Yes indeed. Such spaces are for pre-schoolers despite the pp who claimed they are for under 12s. If an 11 year old has a disability, fine. "Normal" 11 year olds, not fine.

I always think if we did away with them and charged for larger spaces for anyone who needed one (separate from blue badge spaces) parents would swiftly realise they didn't need them after all (or would choose to drive smaller cars).

May I introduce the male funnel extension tube to assist with urination direction. Ideal Valentine's Day/Birthday pressie!

Seriously, I know how disgusting this problem is, and not just with number 1's either...

My last message isn't meant to be here! I'm determined to find out how to delete it and put it where it should be!

So sorry to everyone reading!

@UsernameNotAvailableHmm if you report your post to MN, they'll remove it for you. I found it rather funny though, so I'd just leave it

Clothes reviews on websites . This is one of my biggest annoyances .

Can I raise you the review on an item given as a gift... along the lines of:
* star I can't rate the function of this product. It was given as a gift so I didn't open it
Or commenting on the delivery rather than the product for third party sellers on Amazon that use Amazon to deliver:

• star This product was meant to be next day delivery but took weeks as they'd hidden it in Great Auntie Hilda's mini potting shed. The soup maker itself was excellent, my best purchase of the year and I'd definitely have given it 5 stars otherwise

Self-service checkouts, particularly when using my own bag. If I have to rearrange the bag slightly to get the next item in, it will complain "Surprising item on the bagging scale, please wait for assistance."

I tell the machine it's just my bag, but it won't listen!

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.

I do something a bit like that. Sometimes it's because I don't notice in which case I hold up my hand in a kind of: "Sorry! When you have a minute..." and go away. But sometimes it is important so I stay. If not I do expect people to come over and talk to me though so if they didn't I'd go over again. And again.

I don't understand people who can't be interrupted while on the phone. I spend a lot of my working life on the phone. All it takes is for me to say: "Would you hold on a minute? A colleague has come over with an urgent question."

Frequently the colleague has saved my bacon by saying: "Don't forget to ask her this." I was not happy when I put down the phone for a polite colleague to say: "I didn't want to interrupt you but you should have asked her about this subject." It would have been good but I couldn't get her back.

I'd also like to be interrupted if the building was on fire. Phone calls can always be renewed.

Now I know, thank you
I can see the funny side of it too, so will leave it here

Other people not loading the dishwasher with the mugs on the left. DH I'm looking at you.

Supposedly educated adults who mispronounce 'nuclear'. Do they also mangle 'nucleus', or are they so scientifically illiterate that they don't recognise the relationship?

@Pascha

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 🤮🤮🤮

This is what I was going to say. Makes me so mad. Always happens in my work.

Meanderthals - people who take up the whole pavement or aisle in shops, meandering slowly in a zig zag so you can't get past.
Public transport
Recycling left on the side in the kitchen
Oh arriving at mine early so I'm not ready
Customer services where I work not doing their fucking jobs
Running the bath, getting in and it's not quite hot enough
My eldest ds's throat clearing tic, although he doesn't know it gives me the rage as it's not something he can help

@Mabelface my son is 6 and goes through phases of doing that, it's really hard to not say anything when he does it 300 times a day!

Mine are:
When I drop something, pick it up and then drop it again
Spilling food/ drinks (I'm really clumsy so do these things all the time!)
My laptop being really slow, it's probably not that bad but I'm used to how fast my phone is!
When I'm in the middle of talking to someone and I sneeze, it really annoys me!

Mine's 29 😂

@Mabelface

Mine's 29 😂

DP's 45 and we had to carry a large plank of wood about 350 yards home last Friday. Even with a slab of 9mm ply that should have kept him relatively straight as I steered from behind, I was still thinking that he's a man who should probably be forcibly placed upon rails with a crashbar either side. And he'd most likely still fall over those.

He walks much straighter on uneven country paths, but I wear he learned to only walk in dog miles when he was a lad living in a moorland village.

When we're in central London, I go on ahead and he has to catch up with me.

Yes this , why do people think this helps ???

When people use BARE with me! Get naked together?.....it's BEAR... Not BARE!

Cars that crawl to an almost standstill in order to go over speed bumps give me the absolute RAGE!

I know that's the point of them, but can't you drive over them slightly quicker than a snail

DD not rinsing cereal from the empty bowl so I have to chisel it off to wash it.

YES. Arrggghhhhhhhhhhhh

Cars that crawl to an almost standstill in order to go over speed bumps give me the absolute RAGE!

Double rage when it's a SUV. The complete stop, the inching over at 2mph as if they're climbing up the north face of Everest, not a gentle 15 cm bump of smoothed concrete.

There's a mile of speed bumps on the road to my children's school. It's a daily test of my patience.

And following on from bare/bear (makes me snigger too), people that write cue as que. To my knowledge, this word doesn't exist in the English dictionary.
