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!

Every time I'm in a rush I run into the door handles! I'm short so they get the top of my arm and it kills!
Squirty sauce bottles- unless you've just opened it you may as well throw it away because it won't be working again!

Gabby10 · 21/04/2023 07:26

Oh and another but work related- when customers call to buy something and don't have their card! You've literally called to buy something!

Bastard hairdryer cord getting tangled. Every day. BY IT’S SELF

Justleaveitblankthen · 21/04/2023 07:34

The people strolling in front of me drives me mad.
They are so quick to leave their till in Tesco as I am trying to rush behind.. Then proceed to advance at a snail's pace, browsing their receipt and discussing Club card discounts/ what they forgot to buy/what they are doing later..

In Asda or Sainsbury's you can usually overtake at some point.
In Tesco, with narrow Aisles and blocked entrances/trolley areas, you are there till they get to their car practically 🤬

Dramatic coughing or sneezing!

Scraping every last stupid bit out of a yoghurt pot

And then licking the lid 😡

WoofWoofBeachLife · 21/04/2023 08:05

People who loiter at the stupidest places, like the end of supermarket aisles with all their trolleys and yacking, at the entrance or exit of walking paths, just fucking pack it in haha.
Also people who say to me EVERY SINGLE DAY, where are the other 97, or, you've your hands full there when I'm out with Mt dogs, I've started to do the passive aggressive 👍 in real life 😂

People with greasy hair and I can smell it! 🤮
The bra strap rage is real @Coldpizza2
To be fair to my bra, I need new ones the wee soul gets howked up in a rage so many times 🤣
I've got lots x

HAF1119 · 21/04/2023 08:15

Pens, when I know where I have a pen and I go there and someone has taken it and I can't find a blooming pen. Happens to be occurring now so that's my one!

Notanothernewname · 21/04/2023 08:15

Slow drivers on motorways. You're on a motorway unless the sign states 50/60 or whatever do more than 50, and if you don't want to, don't go on the bloody Motorway. Oh, and get out of the middle lane whilst you're at it.

people who pull over in front of me but are going slower than me. Just why?!

I drive on a couple of the worst motorways to get to work and some of the stuff I see is infuriating.

UnwisleyNemesia · 21/04/2023 08:18

Sound of neighbours (which is a lot as in surrounded by the fuckers)
South east accent (all neighbours!) who all shout rather than talk when talking
Toilet roll the wrong way on the spikey thing
Husband taking over what I’m doing half way through
Hairdresser making me wait
Hairdresser chatting to colleagues and making me wait
Parents on the WhatsApp group asking dumb questions
Neighbour walking their dog across my front garden
neighbour feeding seagulls at 6am everyday with a loaf of cheap bread everyday
neighbour who has a council house having workmen over all the time to change literally anything she wants all the time then going on holiday
neighbours boisterous dogs running all over the place and into my back garden and house if I ever leave the gate open so my kids can play out
pigeons scaring away the little birds in my garden
And that’s just this morning… 😂

TheaBrandt · 21/04/2023 08:18

Middle lane hoggers obviously sailing anlong oblivious as other drivers dodge and weave to overtake them. They should be fined.

People treading on the backs of my shoes and making them come off
Beard trimmings (not mine) in the sink
The Ocado bag blowing shut in the wind when I'm trying to put dog poo in it
People not indicating on roundabouts
Empty food packaging left in the fridge
Dirty dishes left in cold, greasy water in the sink
Dogs barking at the slightest little thing - and always when I'm on a call with a client
My boys never flushing the toilet

M&S packaging. Everything swathed in plastic even their clothes. Other brands send brown paper M&S no layers and layers of plastic. Noticed they’ve quietly dropped their “planet B” campaign. Get word salad emails if I complain.

Also passwords and wiping surfaces must spend years of my life doing that

I'm sick of wiping the same surfaces 100 times a day too.

Oh since it's Dinner time. People who ask "what are we having for dinner" plus the fact I need to think about what everyone is eating. Then planning it, then getting the stuff for it. Fuck off! I just want to go into the kitchen and make a meal I like and eat it. Why do I have to care about all you other fuckers that live here?

Arriving at the kitchen bench I’ve just wiped down for the zillionth time this lifetime, to find crumbs on it.

Turning the tap on slightly too hard to rinse a plate other other horizontal object and sending water literally everywhere except where you need it to be.

Crackers that crack. You cut a slice of cheese, apply it to the cracker … and it collapses in your hand. You have one job. ONE JOB.

Stupid crackers. Oh I fancy some soft cheese "SNAP" great.

People sticking their tongues out in photos.

People who say macdonalds instead of mcdonalds. I mean it's right there for all to see. It is not mac.

It must be because people always say "Macky-Deeeez" Mmm I really fancy a Macky-Deeez (in the plural) 😡the rage I tell you.

That, and people who stick two fingers up behind someone's head in a photo to make them look like bunny ears. Ha ha funny (not)

Ugh, I can't stand to see people scraping the last bits of food out of containers or bowls. I know it's irrational, but to me it looks pathetic, greedy and desperate!!!

tekalliste · 24/04/2023 11:59

I get sudden, blinding, violent rage when I'm in a crowded place (not a problem in itself, I like crowds), and I can feel people pushing past behind me. I don't know how I manage it, but it seems like wherever I stand in a crowd, I'm always ending up with my back right up against an impromptu "walkway". I know people have to walk somewhere, but it makes me furious! I want to kick back like a disgruntled mule.

Oh, and being in the middle of a gig and having people with three or four full pint glasses in their hands pushing through to find their mates. Who are these people who can't get through one band's set without slugging a pint of beer? I don't want to have to look out for your stressful drink situation drifting hazardously close to my elbows while I'm having a dance. It's always the same type of short, spiky haired woman with naff tattoos, too - I swear it's the same person following me around.

Bluebells1970 · 24/04/2023 12:03

I drive home daily through a set of traffic lights on a main road. It's a 2 way set of lights on a crossroads and the traffic is always queueing well back on both sides of the approach. Every day, I get stuck behind someone who then flashes their lights and lets 4 or 5 cars turn right from the opposite flow of traffic. THERE'S A FILTER LIGHT TO TURN RIGHT FROM THAT SIDE. I honestly don't understand why people either don't see the L shaped traffic light box or have never driven from the other side. It just prolongs to the queue on the side I'm coming from and drives me absolutely batshit.

SouthCountryGirl · 24/04/2023 12:26

If I want to go into town there's 2 way traffic lights. Both stuck on red for what seems like forever. Which makes no sense - it says I can't cross, nor can the cars coming either way.

Sunshinesky1981 · 24/04/2023 13:52

Fucking Toastie bread. a loaf that is named TOASTIE so you would imagine that this should be the champion of bread, perfectly designed to be toasted. But no, its all a lie. If you turn it on its side it is too long for the toaster and wont fit in. turn it upright, it will go in but then when you push the toaster handle down it sticks out the top. You then have to hover over the toaster to try to time half way through flipping the bread round so you don't end up with a massive floppy untoasted bit at the top.

Now forgive me if I'm wrong but if you design a loaf of bread, call it toastie, the bare fucking minimum requirement should be that it fits in a fucking standard size toaster without having to play sodding jenga with it.
