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!

People who jump exaggeratedly at 'loud' noises that are miles away/clearly nothing to do with them - just calm the fuck down already. I do this. It's very embarrassing but I can't help it. Think it's a reaction to the extreme stress of living with a violent alcoholic in the past. If it's any consolation, it probably annoys me more than it does you.

Parking. This has zero impact on me by the way but the road behind us (just a thoroughfare no houses on it) used to always be clear. Then the odd car parked there. Now it’s full of cars. Why?! Every house has multi car drives or on street parking on those streets. Why are you all parking there now?! Fuck off. I’m thinking of asking the council to put double yellow lines on it. 🤣

Cleaning. Or more particularly things having the temerity to get dirty and need cleaned again. Fuck off.

TooOldForThisNonsense · 30/04/2023 00:18

People who make a kind of singing noise when they yawn. This is unnecessary and tres annoying

The sun shining when it isn't summer is also my favourite 😂. Akin to that, I hate driving in winter with a low sun streaming into my eyes. I shout "will you fuck off" whilst batting around my visor. So annoying.

Oh god I hate this. I shout I CANT FUCKING SEE to no one in particular

When people don't move out of the 'waiting spaces' at McDonald's to eat their food. I had to park over the other side of the car park yesterday because all three bays were filled with people eating. It irritated me. When your food has been delivered go and park somewhere else to eat.

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.

Yanbu. False advertising!

Mine is even more petty and inconsequential. Elsa is a queen, not a princess. Stop undermining the position of women and show some respect you misogynistic plebs.

This is really bugging me too recently. All these stupid fairy tails. I always read to my child but I'm getting more and more pissed off with the whole "happily ever after" oh and don't get me started on the shit that she has to take the frog, I am to her bed because her father says so! I am not reading this nonsense to my daughter anymore

I got a new one this week. He turns over in bed like a fucking salmon trying to breed. Flipping, flapping. Just turn over gently, it's not hard. Does the whole bed have to shake just cause you want to turn over?

Just experienced the boundless rage of my hair getting caught in the tiny gap between my nail bed and varnish. Absolutely rage inducing for a split second!

I hate that! When you have gel nails or acrylics and grow out. Trying to wash your hair but half the shit gets caught under it. Ohh I swear I'm already angry just thinking about it

Stupid people. Like how do they literally get through their bloody life. Going through a patients medical history at work;

Me: You have ticked no to any medical conditions - but I see in your notes that you have a history of high blood pressure?
Patient: No. I dont have high blood pressure.
Me: But you take medication for blood pressure
Patient: Yeah - so i dont have high blood pressure.
Me: Exactly - so you have high blood pressure.
Patient: No... because i take tablets.
Me: But you take medication because you have high blood pressure. If you stopped your meds it would go back up.
Patient: so that means i dont suffer with high blood pressure so i dont have any conditions,

FUCKING FACEPALM. Honest to god. How im not smashing my head against a wall is beyond me.

This must be infuriating. I can't even imagine how you stay calm among the idiots.

The whispering in the bloody Tresemme advert makes me want to throw things at the telly.

This made me laugh out loud!

The 'word' Coronated - Charles is being crowned. We had a perfectly nice / clear word for tomorrow's activity - absolutely no need to turn a noun into an ugly verb.

On the same note - you win a medal in sport - you do not medle. Meddling is something completely different & usually not to be celebrated.

Un-serifed fonts - is it a 1, an lower case l or a capital i? Why are you making me guess?

SinnerBoy · 06/05/2023 00:32

Coronated seems to have leaked over from America.

stayathomer · 06/05/2023 00:42

Being woken up by pets. I know it sounds terrible but I’ve just gotten over being woken up by my ds who had night terrors and now am woken up by one of the cats scratching at the door or miaowing or the dog scratching (or barking (mostly because he heard the cat)

paisley256 · 06/05/2023 00:46

Waiting in queues with people who faff. Be prepared or get out the fucking queue. No one wants your shitty little coupons. Just FUCK OFF. My back is hurting, I'm in a shit load of pain. Just hurry the fuck up!!

My printer when it won't print....aaah just fucking print you fucker just function...every time its hit and miss.

SkiingIsHeaven · 06/05/2023 02:17

Currently everything

SinnerBoy · 06/05/2023 02:28

People who use every function available at the cash machine.

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 06/05/2023 05:24

May I add in-fucking-somnia. I've not slept a wink all night. I have to be up at 7 anyway so my day has started. I've been poorly all week so really need to rest up but no, no chance of that.

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!

Don't go to France! I've been queue-jumped by old ladies who move faster than a dos after a squirrel once the bus arrives. And their albows!

i didn't know you have dandruff
I don't, i use head and shoulders..

The pt had a point! Logical in their mind!

Justleaveitblankthen · 06/05/2023 06:22

Primark. Any time after 09:30 to 17:10 😂

It gives me the rage how you can't take more than a step without being blocked/barged at by other shoppers, usually in family groups with a couple of pushchairs in tow.

Always reminds me of Euston Station at rush hour.

The first and last few minutes of business are the only times I will venture in now.

Daisy778 · 06/05/2023 06:57

When you open a new bottle of squeezy ketchup, full of hope and expectation that the darn thing will shoot straight when hovering over your hotdogs. Trying to gauge the right amount of pressure and prepare for the expulsion, which makes me jump / irrationally panic every bloody time only for the bastard thing to shoot everywhere exept where you're pointing it!!

God help you if you're in a bbq situation and someone is talking to you whilst trying to focus on predicting its trajectory, especially since at someone else's house you haven't learnt this sauce bottles 'ways'

Everytime, no matter how much I prepare the whole experience is anxiety and disappointment, whilst licking sauce from my fingers, side of the plate, all along the side of the bun where you want to put your fingers and simultaneously fetching a cloth to wipe down the bloody kitchen wall/ceiling/floor - such rage! 😡

summerisnearlyhere · 06/05/2023 07:44

People talking on their phone on loudspeaker as they are walking down the street or in a shop. Pop headphones in or go somewhere quieter to take the call.
Also as flip flop season is hopefully nearly upon us, people walking too close behind me and treading on the sole of my flip flop, gives me unbelievable rage Angry

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 06/05/2023 09:06

My bloody car has a display where it 'suggests' of you need to change gear. Except I can guarantee that that second I do what it suggests it will then suggest I change back. I shout at my car far more than I ought
