Things that make you irrationally angry

221 replies

Coldpizza2 · 20/04/2023 22:14

Just that really. Lately I've been getting seriously angry about stupid things but I can't help it. I have no patience and get furious inside! So many things piss me off. For example:

  1. The wind, I hate the stupid wind. Why is it so windy? My hair in my face, shit blowing everywhere.
  1. My bra strap falling down. Even though I'm too lazy to tighten it. Pisses me off!
  1. Dropping stuff..I keep dropping things. Spoons, tea towels, anything really. Fed up picking shit up.
  1. When the water runs up my arms when I'm washing my face. I want to claw my eyes out or smash the mirror.
  1. People who can't shut doors. Like why? It's a cupboard, is it supposed to be left open? NO
  1. Crumbs sticking to my feet! Pisss off
  1. Things that beep at me from the kitchen. "BEEP" your washing is done, better hang it up. "BEEP" dishwasher is finished, better put it away. "BEEP" oven is done.."BEEP" air fryer is done better get dinner out. Fucking BEEEEEP!

Please join me!

Barking dogs.
People who do a sedentary hobby who make far too much noise doing it..
People who drive way under the speed limit.
People who put stuff back on the wrong shelf in shops.

People who sniff, make any noise whatsoever when eating or drinking, whistle inanely, smell - in fact anything that sets my misophonia off - then I feel murderous but it is not irrational.

All these things. Especially your list @Coldpizza2 Apologies if not. I hate to tell you it’s only going to get worse.

I've recently updated the Ocado app. The previous version, you used to be able to add an item to your existing delivery with one click - this shows up as a button next to the item, saying 'one click'. You clicked on the 'one click' button once, and it added it to your shop, with a confirmation message.

On the new version of the app, you see the item, you see the button next to it saying 'one click', you click the 'one click' button - and a little window comes up asking you to 'add with one-click' by clicking ANOTHER button that says 'one click [in tiny writing] - Add to order'.

So you need to make TWO CLICKS to use the facility they label all over the place as 'one click'.

This makes me incredibly cross.

Do not call something 'one click' if you need more than one click to use it!! I know the term 'gaslighting' gets thrown around on MN all the time but really - calling a two-click process 'one click' is a new strain...

Gets worse in what sense? I think I'm at my peak of rage! Well, peri menopausal. God help my family if it gets worse 🤣

The beep of the tumble dryer, why is it always me who empties the bastard thing.

It's unreasonable because a) it's me because I'm downstairs when it beeps and DH is upstairs working so doesn't hear it beep but it's still annoying and (b) because we don't even use it that often just when there's a run of rainy days, but it still bugs me.

Someone not believing me when I'm telling the truth. Red mist descends.

FloatingRodger · 20/04/2023 22:33

It's not irrational, but I'm never more furious than when I catch the pocket of my hoody or jacket on a door handle, or the chair adjustment level in the car.

I love how detailed you went into this. Well it's not bloody one click then! Why do they have to check you clicked one click? I want it....just add it to the bloody basket.

Just had another one right now. Why is there never a charger near where you are? Now I have to get up, go get it, plug in and change seats! I'm going to get one of those multi point chargers from IKEA

People walking right up behind you on a city street before it gets really crowded, then just hovering there. Just overtake me already FFS.

In a previous life someone must have sneaked up from behind & garrotted me, I hate it so much.

Hillsmakeyoustrong · 20/04/2023 22:37

I hate the wind, especially when I'm having to walk or cycle against it. Makes me so mad! I also hate it when it rains and I've just washed my hair, I have been known to shout at both the wind and the rain.

I get very cross when I have to reverse to let others pass. I live in the countryside and I feel I spend most of my life driving backwards some days or throwing myself in the hedge.

I get really mad when there is a helicopter circling in the early hours. It was constant where I previously lived and it was one reason we moved.

I get cross when I'm constipated.

Mindovermatter247 · 20/04/2023 22:38

Most of mine are retail related, one thing not is when I get on the bus that’s near on empty and someone gets on and sits next to you… like why? Do you not see the other 10 completely empty set of chairs, why?

when cyclists don’t bother indicating and then get pissed at you for crossing the road, even though you were crossing the road apfirst and they didn’t fucking indicate (with thier arm of course)

customers that let kids ( I’m talking 2/3 years old) run around unaccompanied, they they can’t find them and somehow try to make out its our fault…getting sketchy as fuck with us… like hey just watch your fucking kids then

when customers scream at you about the store policy, then proceed to say I know it’s not your fault… yeah thanks for that, screaming in my face for 5 minutes ain’t changing anything… in fact it pisses me off more and I’m more inclined not to help…

when customers aren’t clear on what they want so you have to try to fill in the dots because apparently we are friggin mind readers..

when someone says, I just printed that whilst your checking the money is real… like I ain’t heard that before.

people who talk ultra loud on public transport for attention, so loud you can hear them over your full volume earphones..

so many more I could write but I’ll stop here 😂

Oh god yes. I would swing for the number of times this happens.

Or the ones that overtake you but then walk friggin snails pace, so you end up overtaking them again..

What really really makes me cross is taking a hanger out of my own wardrobe and it bring tangled with another. I have an irrational annoyance to this!!!

Motheranddaughtertotwo · 20/04/2023 22:40

This thread has made me laugh!

People driving just below the speed limit when I’m in a rush. I want a siren so they all know to move out of my way because of course the world will end if we are five minutes late for swimming. I also get annoyed when someone parks in my space at work- we don’t have allocated parking but I’ve claimed it because it’s the perfect distance from the exit and entrance. Ridiculous!

StaceySolomonSwash · 20/04/2023 22:41

People at the ATM who take what seems like 30 minutes to decide if they want a balance, cash or pin services.

It would take me all my strength not to roll my eyes into the back of my skull at that one!

Or another clothes one. When you have folded everything in a neat pile and you need a pair of leggings and about 6 things fall out😖
