Things that people do that give you the rage (lighthearted)

[rubberhead]

So going to a shop earlier, parked far enough away from the door as my car is quite big and I like to keep it out of the way of trollies etc. There was a small car parked (badly) two bays up from me but it didn't affect my being one bay away. Test if car park was empty. I come out to discover some delight had shoehorned themselves into the empty bay beside me also I a massive car. As I get closer I can see they have kids. I also see that the door is flung open and hitting my door !!! I gave him such a look of "what the hell are you doimg ?) luckily my car wasn't damaged but why the feck would someone do that? It wasn't a child/ disability space so it made no sense that he struggled to get in while passing other empty spaces to get to the most awkward spot. Am I being weird for thinking this was weird lol?

Tell me I can't do something unless I download another sodding app to my phone that will get used about twice.

Spitting on the pavement

We are renovating, and each trade brings along their own, massive, outdoors radio. Not only is this unfair to my neighbours, but I WFH and have to tell them to turn it down constantly.

Tradesmen leaving their lunch wrappers, drinks bottles, fag ends and work off cuts (electric wire, plumbing pipes, insulation pieces) stuffed and 'hidden' in garden pots and behind things in the garden. Despite me leaving adequate bins with rubble bags inside and having a massive skip outside!!!

My neighbours who tap out their food waste bucket at 6am and 7pm. Then drag their wheelie bin out at 11pm over their driveway cobbles!

Ahaaaaha all of these so far.

when people (grown adults) say ‘mum told me’ instead of ‘MY mum told me’. She’s not my mum.

Husbands (usually retired aged) who go on the supermarket shop with their wives…WHY??!

I go to Aldi where the aisles are fairly small & they just follow their wives aimlessly around (who do the picking) and they’re just the muscle pushing the trolley. They seem to always stop in front of the most popular foods too and are oblivious to others trying to get around.

Also big families in said shop - like a minimum of 4 of them! Can’t one of you stay at home/in the car with the kids!!? 😡

Calling other people ‘Karen’s’. I literally want to kill them.
People who will not listen to your side of the discussion, no matter what. I told someone on FB that ‘we’d have to agree to disagree’ and he called me ‘thick’ 😆 For context, literally no-one else on the thread was agreeing with him and he’d called several other people thick/morons. It was frustrating.
Anyone who uses the word ‘cheek’. Cheeky coffee/cheeky gin etc. What’s cheeky about it?!!

When the most miraculous of things has happened; you've reached the bottom of the washing basket but then one of your offspring decide that that is the exact time that they can no longer live in the cesspit that is their room and empty four loads of washing into the basket.

The recycling being left on the work surface, obviously it's a step too far to get it into the bag outside.

Someone using the toilet after I've just finished cleaning the bathroom.

People who start loading their shopping on the belt before I’ve finished losing mine so I end up running out of room 😤

Loading mine*

I've thought of another, the way teenagers speak and miss out random words.
'Mom, Can I go cinema?'.
'I'm going school now, bye'.
Where is the 'to'? What have they got against using it?

I agree, it's quite exploitative at best and cruel at worst.

Agree with everything else too. Although I sometimes park next to someone in a car park because it's easier to line yourself up next to another car than in a bay where you can't see the lines very well.

People who can't control their trolleys - as you say it makes you wonder how they drive cars. People who turn the supermarket shop into a family outing.

Cyclists who "ding" me on a wide path telling me to get out of the way, when I am already out of the way because I always walk well into the left hand side. People who block paths in groups as a pp said and walk at a snail's pace because they are looking at their phones.

People who dawdle when they see you waiting for them, eg at a junction or if you are waiting behind a parked car. Just get past, so I can go!

Oh another one. People who don’t understand the difference between lend and borrow. I once watched a whole YouTube video with a woman who kept saying ‘I can’t affording to keep lending money’ (she meant borrow) I wanted to scream ‘well stop fucking lending people money if you’re that skint’!!

I can remember my primary school teacher explaining the difference. The B in borrow is the same as ‘bringing’ money towards yourself E.g. someone has given it to you. I can’t remember what she said for L but as long as you know one then you’re fine 😆

Yes, this as well!

And the opposite, cashiers who start putting my shopping through before the person in front of me has gone (not Aldi or Lidl who I know have different rules).

The disabled bay outside our house seems to be a magnet for taxi drivers between fares, youths with nothing to really do other than drive their souped-up cars around the 'burbs, and low-level drug users looking to buy. [None of these people have a BB.] There's an entire empty road, but the white-lined box with writing that says 'disabled' appears to shout "stop here" ... Then they give me a look of indignation when I ask them to move so that I can park the BB'd car there and get my disabled son out of the car.

People who don't understand roundabouts. I don't mean CFs who pull out when it's not their turn but people who try and give way to the left then sit there holding everyone up and looking confused.
And people who aren't ready to go when the light goes green.
And people who obediently sit at roadwork traffic lights when it's perfectly safe to go.
Maybe I just shouldn't drive...

Living statues (you know, those cunts in covent garden pretending to be trees). Fuck off and get a proper job, wanker.

Or hang it in a tree! Even worse.

(Dog crap left in bags)

People who chat loudly on their phone in a restaurant- also people who chat in the cinema - go for a walk or coffee if you want to chat! - I’m trying to watch the film not hear how James is hoping to replace the car soon!

Cyclists who "ding" me on a wide path telling me to get out of the way, when I am already out of the way because I always walk well into the left hand side.

I get why that is annoying but as an occasional bike rider, I now do it too as some people unpredictably veer sideways when walking and I really don’t want to run into people.

My list:

• people walking dogs on paths on extension leads so the entire path is essentially a tripwire for anyone going faster than them or approaching in the other direction


• people who don’t pick up after their dogs


• people who monologue


• people who ignore their kids in public whilst they drink or browse on their phones.


• the App thing previously mentioned, being required to download yet another bloody App that could easily be achieved by an existing common App or alternative.

to clarify; I’m not telling them to get out of the way, I’m warning them I’m approaching from behind as bikes are quiet.

My work is appointment based & I say to customers my next available appointments are x,y & z, at least 50% of the time they response to that will be "Have you got anything before then/can you do it sooner?"
WHY??!! Do they think I'm lying about my availability for some reason?? 🤔

Why do you think someone else walking along that path wants to see a bag of dog poo? Sorry but this should be taken with you at the time and not left to pick up later.

People who refer to their holiday as an 'escape'. My friend goes away quite often and all her social media albums are of her 'Our Escape to Majorca' or her 'New York Escape'. I know it's completely irrational and not at all personal but it rubs me the wrong way. Are we all that bad you need to 'escape' us?
Oddly, 'holibobs' doesn't bother me.

People who go to the cinema and recline their seats. People who talk all the way through a film. (I'm talking about adults here who should know better)
