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?

People tapping. On buses,in coffee shops,cafes,bloody everywhere it seems lately. Infuriates me.

People who drive on their brakes, normally below the speed limit with NOTHING in front of them!
Feral, mouthy, disrespectful kids and adults.
Waiting to be served in a shop and the staff member keeps you waiting without any acknowledgement while they carry on chatting or doing something. "Won't be a minute" isn't hard to say.

Agree with every one of those.

People who post on social media
That they are out for drinkies

People who indicate right when they're going straight ahead over a roundabout.

And the new fashion of using 'discrete' when 'discreet' is the correct word.

People who don't know how to use filter lanes . That's another one .
Lorry drivers on motorways .
The fact their is never a police car about when I see someone tailgating another driver .

The rest of my household using a towel once and just dropping it in ball on the floor - every day - all of them.

No, none of them actually ever wash towels, but do love to declare there’s no clean towels...

🔪 R A G E

The amount of time I spend in my local fucking co-op because their is never enough staff

People who return to their cars after paying for fuel then sit in the car sorting things out before they drive off .
God I shouldn't of read this thread .

People who keep their dogs on an extendable lead on the pavement. They walk near the kerb and their dog runs along near the bushes or wall. Where the fuck am I meant to walk? In the road? On the wall/in the bushes? Or am I meant to jump over the dog's lead? 😡

It annoys me so much! Even worse if the dog approaches me or jumps up.

See also, irresponsible dog owners - I had a very muddy dog run and jump up at me yesterday. There was no owner to be seen anywhere!

BusySittingDown we had that yesterday except me and DH were on bikes in a park and heading towards this guy whose dog was on a lead that had to be 20 foot long and he allowed the dog to wander across the path to sniff another dog as we approached. We had to slow to almost a stop. He dropped the lead eventually as we were going to plough into the lead.

Anyway, mine are:
Starting sentences with 'So'.
People lighting fire pits, particularly on a hot evening.
Dawdling in supermarkets (elderly and disabled excepted) and blocking aisles for a chat.

People who waft around the road from lane to lane in their huge metal killing machines. It's a lazy and dangerous lack of attention, and disturbing lack of awareness of the effect on other drivers. Just think ahead more than 1 second, and indicate BEFORE changing direction, not half way through the change which is utterly pointless. Yes, I judge.

People who gather in groups chatting with their friends in the middle of supermarket aisles or entrances. Maybe they've got all day to yap but I'd like to get my shopping done, Then when you politely say, "Excuse me" they look at you like you've got two heads.

Getting off an escalator/exiting a shop and coming to a dead stop … where are you expecting the person behind you to go???? Especially if you are with another person so there’s no room to manoeuvre

People who hog the middle lane of the motorway, using of instead of have, the word oodles.

I usually do a “there and back” dog walk and so leave the poop bag on the side to pick up on my way back so I don’t have to carry it for the whole walk.
Why? Leaving it somewhere visible just encourages others to leave it too and if it's not visible then chances are you'll forget about it.
I seriously think before anyone is allowed a dog they should have to carry a bag of dog poo around with them everyday for a year, if they can't or won't then no dog.

Empty cinema but they sit in front of you.
Empty field but they sit next to you.
empty car park same thing m. Basically humans just getting too close

Yes there should be some guidance with trolleys, especially when they stop in the middle of the isle then look etc.

I have a few

• People that eat with their mouths open - I don’t want to see or hear the food once it enters your mouth. Please and thank you.


• Slurping your drink. Just don’t, I beg you.


• The expectation that I should let everyone with a small bundle of items go before me at the tills, every.single.time. I queued too you know


• The sound of someone cracking their knuckles or neck. Stop please

People who talk to me brightly before 8am. I am not fully conscious until midday.

People who natter on about nothing especially before midday.
People who tend to start one subject eg "Pete said to me" and then diverge onto "when we met in the park - that little one just up the street - no the other street" and then after ten minutes of meandering forget what Pete said.
People who tell me I'm wrong, especially before midday.

So - my family. I'm a barn owl in whole bloody nest of larks.

Aldi checkout operators , why are you throwing my beans at me , chill the feck out

Being served on a checkout in a supermarket when the checkout operator doesn't even say hello to you whilst they fling your groceries through because they are too busy making idle gossip with a colleague or another customer.

The ever-increasing pile of empty toilet rolls being stacked in the bathroom when I am ALWAYS the only one to bring them downstairs and put them in the recycling. We're up to six, currently, and I grate my teeth every time I go in the bathroom.

The fact that I can go from dropping hints to stating the fucking obvious that we NEED to do something about X and DP says "yes, we do" but has ZERO intention of helping me with it before moaning if I do it and he doesn't like the outcome.

Every single time DP takes our toddler out of the high chair after a meal, he never, ever cleans the tray which attaches to the chair. When he's at work and I bring DD downstairs for breakfast in the mornings and pop her in the high chair, I have to first scrub off pasta bake sauce (or similar) which has OBVIOUSLY set like concrete overnight and is now bordering on impossible to shift.

9.30pm. I'm knackered after a day of chasing a toddler whilst 7 months pregnant. I say "wake me up when you want to go to bed". "Will do". I nod off on the sofa and wake at 2am to a pissed off DP. I say "why didn't you wake me?" and the reply is always "you looked so peaceful but now I'll only get 4 hours sleep before work".

Toddler throwing handfuls of food on the floor every sodding mealtime.

Provide rabbits with 12ft pen in purpose-built shed. Wherever we put litter trays, they wee next to them on the carpet. Provide four litter trays, rabbits empty the trays of wood-based cat litter onto the carpet and wee on it there instead.

"We need to ring X tomorrow and sort out Y". Roughly translates to "YOU need to ring X to sort out Y".

DP complains of back pain and associated symptoms. I pester him to ring the doctors at 8am for an appointment. DP agrees. Five days later when pain is worse, DP rings the surgery at 8am, get through then immediately hands me the phone to explain the problem to the receptionist. Nah, not this again buddy. I'm not your PA!

Friend messages for the first time in 18 months to say hi and invites me for a coffee. I trek with toddler across the city and friend doesn't show up, or ring, or message, until two hours after the agreed time when I've given up and am heading home, to say her anxiety is bad and can't leave the house. Sympathies, but I could well have done without that waste of time and money when you could have told me before I left the house. Cheers.

And so, so many more.

Yes!!! What the hell is it with them? There must be some speed checkout Olympics they train for. Cunts.

Oh I forgot the most recent.

DP proudly announces he's cleaned the bathroom. That means he cleaned the toilet and basin. He forgot to clean the bath, shower, tiles, floor, bin, light pull, door handle, windowsill, window and mirror but apart from that, fucking stirling job!
