Things that make you irrationally mad

[OngoingCrisis]

For me, it's having to pay for click and collect

Just about everything at the moment. 🤬🤬

People that diagnose other adults and children after hearing a little about them

Oh it must be autism, ADHD...

Groups of two or three people who block the entire pavement for everyone whilst they have a nice long chat.

People in the office having Teams meetings and not using their headset so I have to listen to their entire meeting. Must also be rubbish for the other person on the call as they have to listen to all the office background noise!

People who call their romantic partner their "other half".

It implies that those who have no partner are only half a person.

It reached the height of absurdity when a colleague had six or seven "other halves" in succession!

Giving genuine compliments is a nice thing there is nothing wrong with that

But someone reads a post and suddenly 'you are a beautiful woman and a great mother' how do they know? I get others will think me thinking this is odd but I don't get it and find it false

😬

people who judge me and my beloved cats 😂

People who go to the cash point
Print out their balance
Read it
Put their card back in
Have a look at something else
Get the card back out
Fucking hurry up!

People who say their DH is "babysitting" the children. He's not a babysitter, he's their parent. He's just looking after them as any normal parent should do.

Yes! Completely agree, you don’t babysit your own children

People using "myself" and "yourself/yourselves" wrongly. It's often used by people who think it makes them sound more intelligent but quite frankly it makes them sound like tossers.

"Please respond to either myself or Julie on this matter." No. You will, on principle, never hear from me again.

People who are excited for events rather than about them

People who lick their fingers

People who take their coats off for a 15 min train ride

People who put their pram in front of the bus exit door whilst saying 'It'll be fine, no one will need to get off'

People who talk about how busy they are all the time.

Colleagues at work who say they will do something and then just...don't.

To all parents/guardians of babies who are dressed way less than they are when the weather calls for warm clothing - thin tops, bare feet, no hat, thin coats when it's the opposite to what the parents are wearing - thick jumpers, coats done up etc. The babies can't tell you that they're feeling cold!! Also, in summer when the babies/toddlers are wearing very little and no protection from the heat/sun - no hats, parasol etc. Or girl toddlers wearing clothing meant for teens - strappy tops showing midriff, mini skirts.

Don't like the so-called cute headband thing/flower thing on babies heads. Yuk.

Parents ignoring bored child who's "playing up" on public transport whilst scrolling on their damn phones.

Fuxxwits who watch videos/music on loudspeaker or loud talkers/laughing out loud for attention, and checking to see if others notices them.

Dog walkers leave poo on the pavements

Litterers

Make up on young girls and dyed hair

When objects won’t obey.
Then I usually kick/hit them 😆

Smelling cooking smells in the house outside of the meal time eg making Sunday roast for lunch and then smelling it into the evening. Makes me stressed and angry.

Pedestrians who are in a couple or group, walking beside each other when there are other walkers behind or approaching from opposite direction. I should not have to fucking scale someone's wall, or step into the road, so that you can keep walking next to your friend/spouse. Groups are the worst: DO ALL FOUR OF YOU NEED TO WALK IN A ROW? REALLY? Like sweeping for mines bloody hell, on now I'm angry thinking about it hahah

Letting your babies/toddlers take an unpaid for seat on an already crowded bus, leaving their pram seat empty.

Litter .

This is my kind of thread, I agree with vast majority posts. Not beloved cats though

Absent fathers (usually fathers rather than Mothers) not paying for their children’s upkeep. Not irrational though!

Not being able to speak to an actual human in any given company.

Password loops.

My ex scoops up food with his fingers instead of using the knife. (I still have "family meals" with them with our adult DC.)

Strange. I love cooking smells, even if it comes from the neighbours. The smell of fried bacon with eggs in the morning is my fave! For lunch, curry will do! 😊
Garlicky roast hmmm yummy…

People who go round the garden to get to the gate when they're telling you something.
Something like....oh I saw Mary in the supermarket yesterday, I only went there because they have their meat on offer and we like chicken on Wednesdays, so I thought I'd go there to see if they were cheaper than my usual supermarket, well they were but only by 50p so it was a bit of a waste of time really, so next week I'll go to my usual supermarket.
Anyway Mary looked really well.

Me like 😴

@Tescoland Yes - very strange because I don't mind it in other people's houses, just not mine when I'm not actively cooking or sat at the table eating!

Fucking tourists. I know our local economy relies on them to survive but they do my head in.

They stroll 4 abreast along the pavement, stopping dead, randomly to look at another Tudor building. Or travel in herds blocking the pavements and expecting everyone else to walk in the road. Or wearing enormous rucksacks and turning round, knocking people over with them. Or stepping out into the road, without looking and then standing still in the middle of the road to take photos of the black and white buildings. Grrrrrrrr!!
