Things that make you irrationally angry

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!

Cyclists. Rationally I know they are keeping fit and reducing car pollution but irrationally I hate get stuck behind one staring at someone's lycra'd ass going 15mph for miles.

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.

The sedentary loud hobby has intrigued me...like what? 🤣

Bags for life, just the feel of them.
Henry hoover.
The sun shining when it isn't summer.
Opening a tablet packet and getting the side with the leaflet.

I agree with number 4 so much. It pisses me right off.

SleepDebt · 20/04/2023 22:53

Whenever I get a half decent photo of myself, without fucking fail those stupid shitty hanger straps are flapping out the side of my clothes. I didn't even use them - I should probably just cut them off.

SleepDebt · 20/04/2023 22:53

don't even

Everythingstaken · 20/04/2023 22:55

People having bonfires on a nice sunny day - in the middle of the day, gives me the rage! If I have my windows open or my washing in the line then god help them!!

Oh god, when you open the paracetamol and get the leaflet! That is brilliant. I actually can't stop giggling right now.

Henry Hoover? What's he ever done to you?

@Coldpizza2 Henry hoover is the biggest, smuggest, arsehole EVER! The way he looks at you when you try and manoeuvre him round a corner and just topples over with the look on his face that says, 'I own you'... bastard. I hate him.

Coldpizza2 · 20/04/2023 23:01

@Hillsmakeyoustrong

"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."

This also made me laugh. I also shout at the wind and rain🤣 we could be friends.

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.

Me too. It’s mouth noises with me. Kissing and blowing raspberries and making noises while eating make me want to throw something.

Sauce in sachets. Awful

Hahah! Me too, so glad someone else gets this 😂

FlamingoCroquet · 20/04/2023 23:06

When you're driving towards a green traffic light and the bastard in front of you slows down for no reason, meaning they just get through the lights as they change to amber and you don't. Utter utter fury. For two reasons: a) inconsiderate and b) just why?

Bunnyhair · 20/04/2023 23:08

Couples walking hand-in-hand on narrow pavements. Budge the fuck up, lovebirds.

The phrase ‘rightly or wrongly’. I could scream. No idea why.

Crumbs in the cutlery drawer make me want to burn the house down.

When the pavement is wet but it hasn’t actually rained in weeks, everything is just coated in permaslime congealed out of the dank and fetid British air.

When someone I’m walking with keeps bumping into my side. FUCKING STOP IT

And you need about 5 to make a decent dollop.

Every single thing on the original list OP so much so that I wondered if I'd written it in my sleep.

Also:

Shampoo/conditioner bottles that are stupidly designed where the lid is on the bottom but you can't close them with one hand (so I have to bang it on my thigh whilst holding the shampoo/conditioner in the other hand). It never works so I then have to smear the product in my hair to free up both hands and then the bottle is all slippery and I drop it. Every morning.

Touching anything in the kitchen with wet hands.

When one massive rain drop hits me on the head or the back of the neck when I'm doing something (like bending into the car or opening the front door). Fucking impertinent.

Not being able to select the right key even though I can see it in the bunch. It hides away.

And also Henrietta Hoover who falls over every single time I try to pull her sorry arse around a corner

@Bunnyhair

"Budge the fuck up, lovebirds"

Again, this has me in stitches. I can just imagine you in your leggings and trainers barging past rolling your eyes. I've got fucking places to go🤣

MissPoldark · 20/04/2023 23:14

People who can’t seem to queue properly gives me the absolute rage.
they come up to the queue and instead of joining at the back, just hover along the side.
Or they don’t stand directly behind the person in front, but just to the side, so that you end up with a wiggly messy line.

Or people with no sense of personal space that stand so close behind that the slightest movement means you knock them with your bag.
leaving too large a gap just as bad, as this makes the line vulnerable to queue jumpers.

perhaps deserving of its own thread!

Henry Hoover? What's he ever done to you?

Henry's smile when he gets stuck in the doorway you don't notice until you try tugging on the hose you look and see THE SMILE then when your contorted hoovering the stairs (no he does NOT FYCKING REACH you have to hall his three wheeled ass) he inevitably slips falls and FUCKING SMILES AFTER DINGING YOUR GLOSS UP LIKE A PSYCHO

I used to use one all the time when I ran my cleaning business NEVER AGAIN

Hillsmakeyoustrong · 20/04/2023 23:17

@Coldpizza2 😂thinking we might get carted off if there were two of us shouting at the wind.

PickleOfAConundrum · 20/04/2023 23:19

Oooh I'm gonna be here all night with what makes me angry😂...
Rude people I just wanna slap them into next week!
Barking dogs as it makes me jump!
Out of date food sold in shops I've just paid for!
My sleeve catching on a door handle!
Cleaned apartment just for it to be messed up shortly after!
Being told something I use/eat is being discontinued!
People abusive to elderly/vulnerable/animals!
Narcissists ruining innocent lives!
I'm sure there is more but that'll do for tonight 😂

Yep, same, all of the above. Angry

Plus...
people who allow their dogs to do recreational barking and subject the rest of the street to listening to it. I have a much loved dog myself, but he's not allowed to stand around barking throughout the day.Angry

People who don't get back to me in a timely fashion. And I'm talking weeks... not hours. Angry

People not paying people in a timely fashion, and causing a backlog of unpaid invoices. Angry

People objecting to me getting cross about the above. Angry

People... Grin
