Things that make you irrationally mad

[OngoingCrisis]

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

BBC1 HD leaving an empty gap after the national news instead of showing something else or finally getting the local news into HD format.

Realised those were mostly sound related! Can think of more - people who come and sit on table right beside you in an empty restaurant! Really irritates me. David Williams - just the sight of him makes me furious lol.
Having to change the bedsheets. Bragging. Spouses having conversations with each other over social media.
Cryptic quote messages on FB. Dirty plates left around the house.

I am so much alike you. 😆

'Invite' is still a verb not a noun to me and it winds me up that the dictionary no longer supports me in this.

@PeppermintChoc I saw rest bite on here recently, I had to hide the thread.

When I ask everyone have they got any dirty washing, they all say no and then once I've done it all, they all rush up and fill the basket up. X

People who eat fast food in our nearest city then drive towards my village . By the time they get to our turning they've eaten it all so they carefully bag it up ( or not) and then hurl it out of their car window so it flies all over the road, sticks in the hedges. Just keep it in your passenger footwell until you find a bin. Lazy tossers.

Whistling. I have to stop myself punching innocent middle aged men in the face if they whistle.

People driving huge fuck off 4 wheel drive cars who, when meeting my vw beetle on a country lane genuinely think that I should pull off the road to get out of their way, rather than them in their er off road vehicle.

We have an Ann who works with us at our community shop. We are all volunteers but she was high up in a big company a thousand bloody years ago so she is apparently in charge. My son nicknamed her 'the Annager'. She is an absolute cunt. I feel your pain.

The noise of multiple kids toys going off at once! With the Childrens programs on the tele in the background too.

makes me feel like I’m losing my mind 🤣

These particular parents at school who drive a huge fuck off Range Rover. Park wherever the fuck they feel like. All over the zig zigzags, over someone's driveway, blocking the narrow road. Every single day.

And I can't say anything cos their child is my child's friend. God forbid he walks very slightly further than possible.

Lazy bastards.

The term 'playdate'. Oh god I hate it. When I was a child we went to someone's house to play. My children are 28 and 30 .They went to friends houses to play. Why the hell did it turn into a date.

The word "oodie". How do you even pronounce that? Like 'hoodie' without the 'h', or the way it's written - 'ooo-dy'?? And why is it called that?

Talkshows with a sycophantic host and a bunch of famous people flattering each other and fake laughing at each other's boring jokes. Oooh hilarious, Mena Suvari has a 'thing' where she tries to squeeze her smaller than average body into tiny spaces while confidently announcing 'I could fit in that!'. (Saw that on Graham Norton when DH insisted on watching.) I couldn't give less of a shit what some actor does in their spare time. Just because they're good at acting or singing or whatever doesn't mean they're an interesting person.

Scrolling through... I have so many questions!
🤣

Same as this. My DC are 18 and 16 and just "went to play" no dates involved.

Also the word Shero. What's that all about?

A few Words or phrases
hollibobs
wine o’clock (or similar)
belly

very poor understanding of mental health

current obsession with plant based everything - especially labelling products as plant based which is stating the total obvious (eg vegetables) or suggesting something is healthy/better when it is not (highly processed fat filled fake meat items) and charging people a fortune

Another one....those cheap flimsy gloves in packs of hair dye.
They usually tear when trying to put them on, sending me into orbit with rage.
Fortunately my eldest uses latex ones at work so usually gives me a few pairs to use instead.

Door handles last week I was carrying a heavy box into my kitchen when the door handle leapt out ( I swear it did !) and grabbed my belt loop on my jeans and stopped me dead in my tracks, so much so i am surprised.i didn't get whiplash
I couldn't unhook myself while holding the box and couldn't put the box because my daft cat was convinced it was something for him and wouldn't shift out of the way.

Coat hangers why on gods green earth can you never just pick up one coat hanger ? They all insits on coming with their pal ,

Oranges that promise to be sweet and juicy and are dry and hard .

When people at the petrol station use the first pump instead of moving forwards to the next one, meaning you have to wait even longer

The fad for "hacks" - or what old people call, 'tips'.

Most of them are a bit shit and take longer then whatever the traditional method was.

It takes me about two minutes max, to dump my bag on the check in scales, have my passport inspected, the person behind the desk to attach the bag tag, my boarding pass to be printed and for me to be on my way. Why the fuck does it always take the person in front of me about 10 mins of fannying about, what are you doing you dopey cunt.

See also: side hustle.

No, you aren't in bloody Oceans Eleven, nor are you ever going to get thousands of quid on Dragon's Den. You sell stuff on Etsy/FB/vinted just like thousands of other people do. No "hustling" is involved.

You’ve reminded me of another of mine:-

“My business”
“my business venture”
“please support me in my business”

aka buy the junk I’m selling as I’ve joined a pyramid scheme, or even better hand over a months wages and YOU can sell shit too.

Then when it falls flat you hear “I wasn’t supported”. No pal, nobody wanted your body lotion cause the stuff in Morrisons does the job. If you want support acquire a skill that’s desirable and marketable. I.e get a real job.

Potholes. The hot summer and recent relentless rain has degraded the road surfaces and there’s pretty much more pothole than road surface.

I won’t pay for click and collect. If I’m spending time and money to collect a product, I’m not paying for the privilege too.

People who take such appalling photos of items they want to sell on FB. I’m not ever going to bother with something so badly done, especially when they say it needs mending, or cleaning. Do it before you try and sell it thrn.

Telephone 'menus' - Press 1 if you want X, 2 if you want y and then that leads to another menu, and another menu and another menu!! 😡
