Things that make you irrationally mad

[OngoingCrisis]

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

And then after that it tells you to check the online FAQ and cuts you off

My doctors surgery have this. They have two receptionists and about 4 options. Wtf is the point when whatever the option it goes to the same person???

The self-service till in Poundland that keeps repeatedly telling me to 'Please take your items' whilst I'm packing them. Ffs I AM taking them! I have to actually put them in a bag,I can't just scoop up 9 or 10 items in one go! And then, even once I HAVE actually taken my items,it repeats it several more times,just for good measure.

I get the rage when I'm constantly asked to prove I am not a robot by clicking on little pictures of 'fire hydrants' or 'traffic lights' or 'hills' -argh!
Omg this really annoys me too! I can't help thinking 'What a damn cheek, something that,in effect,is no more than a robot,asking ME to prove that I'M not a robot!

Followed by your eardrums being assaulted by some rubbish music and a woman thanking you for holding because your call is important to us who also helpfully informs you that your number seventy billionth in the queue. Gah!

People playing videos and having loud speakerphone calls on the train. I think it's really selfish (aside from those with hearing issues before I get jumped on).

Pissed me off so much the other day that I started playing a crap song from Love Actually on my phone. Surprisingly, it shocked them into stopping their ludicrously loud video (we were both in an empty carriage, I wasn't inflicting it on the other passengers).

And the ones that ask you to verbally answer a question and the stupid woman says she's sorry but she didn't catch that...and repeats the question. Double gah!

Baseball caps. Really dislike. No one looks good in them.

People who call girls and women 'bossy'. They never refer to males like that. Misogynistic bastards.

People who say less when they mean 'fewer'. Yes, I'm a pedant.

Sexist fucking Hollywood films where the women always have to get naked /topless/ get attacked and /or defer to the men. Which is about 99% of Hollywood films. Grrrrrrr

Women who take forever in the loo when there is a huge queue. Just have a wee and get out ffs (I have Crohns so do understand that some people need longer, but not that many!)

Things that fall on the floor when you have a bad back.

I'll stop there. For now

Yes ! This is prob my worst , I end up shouting YES and then it says , sorry we didn’t understand you ! Ahhhh fuck off

Temporary traffic lights at roadworks that always get stuck on red on Friday evening, so the person at the front of the queue has to guess when it's safe to go.

(Yes, this happened to me on my way home yesterday.)

“What’s for dinner?” FUCK OFF!

(not the thread on here, I enjoy that, but being asked every bloody day by my family. I think it just reinforces that I’m the only one who has to think about what we’re having and I’m the only one who ever cooks.)

And my absolute homicidal-rage-inducing one... Cookies.

No, I don't want to enable cookies. I never want to enable cookies. I've already told this site I don't want to enable cookies. And no: those businesses do not have a "legitimate interest". I've been on sites where it was impossible to proceed without enabling cookies, including a local newspaper where I wanted to post a death notice for my dad. To be told you can't inform people your dad has died unless you agree to be spied on is distressing.

This too. Then they moan that they haven’t got stuff for when they need it the next day 😡

'Be like'.
For example:
Owning a cat 'be like' (followed by stupid video).
Walking in the rain 'be like' (followed by stupid video).

Do they ask you at 7am or is that just to me?

Trying to find out how to do something (e.g. change a setting on a computer/tablet) and not being able to find any written instructions anywhere on the web. Loads of videos telling you how to do it, but they are 10 minutes long and the actual explanation is about 5 seconds somewhere in the middle.

Or instructions that tell you to click on an option that doesn't exist on the version you're using.

Hahaha. In a supermarket? When someone literally does your shopping for you. How do you suppose that labour gets paid for then 😂😂

@Whytheego and if you've ever tried to park your car in car park by ringing the number and telling the computer all of your details.....I nearly lost the plot!!! Eg. Saying your number plate - AN21 4TA and computer says Was that JM42 4CJ ? No it bloody wasn't ...!!!

People clearing their throats😡

Sniffers on the train. It is unbearable some days. I sit surrounded by people sniffing and noone else seems bothered by it..when did it become acceptable to sniff loudly for a long time? I am on the train for two hours each way on the days I go in to work and I am revolted by it.

People who ask for ‘advise’. It’s ADVICE that you want!

And ditto to gift/gifting.

‘Mash’ potato, ‘pack’ lunch, etc. drive me mad. They’re mashED and packED!
You’re allowed to have mash, though - just not coupled with potato.

Hmm, you did not read my other posts then.

People slinging their fucking 'pronouns' around as if that's weally weally important for them. Usually the under-30s. Yeah, I've known you since you were a baby, Olivia, I don't need to get slapped with a smug little 'she-her' every fucking time you email me, love.

Was this a problem five years ago? No.

What technique did you use five years ago to determine whether someone was male or female? Well, use that, then.

😂
