Fucking tiktok memes where people are doing stupid fucking dances to “green green grass”. What is the ducking point of it?!

Passwords not being enough any more. All this text of codes to your mobile phone is fucking ludicrous. Yes, yes I understand it's for security but it's yet another layer of 'stuff' to wade through.

Social media. I hate myself but I can’t seem to get off it.

Particularly stupid reels where some woman dances while pointing to words, with a stupid smug expression on her daft mug.

Argh

Ahahahahah I pictured exactly the one!

I get disproportionately annoyed, like proper instant rage, if I'm taking a kitchen utensil out of the pot and it gets caught on something else. It's really weird.

Me with hangers. I want to break them.

‘Meds’ It’s medicine. Or ‘I’m going to collect my prescription’.

BodegaSushi · 13/07/2023 22:00

People who open cupboards and drawers. And do not close them.

What is the thinking process there?

Also, DH Grin he's always standing in doorways or in front of cupboards.

Ah yes, I have one of these. When I'm cooking (in our tiny kitchen) he'll come in for a drink of water and just stand there at the sink drinking it with his elbows spread, when I want to wash the veg and do other useful stuff.

BLUETOOTH!!!

Gives my such rage. Nothing ever just connects!

Okay. These things irritate me alot.

using the word 'bloods' as in 'I am getting bloods done'. It is blood. Singular and plural. It is a non countable pronoun. Just use 'blood'.

And 'picky bits'. FFS. It's grotesque.

Yes!! Every time I hear 'bloods' I say 'skins' to myself in skin sort of wired protest 😂

Packaging that requires a hacksaw, blade, knife or scissors. It's a fucking packet of foodstuff, not the effin Crown Jewels. I am sick of it now.

I use the tin opener. It works perfectly on those hard plastic packages with the tops that are shrunk around the item.

Post not properly pushed through a letterbox, just limply hanging there.

carrot87 · 13/07/2023 22:19

Bad smells.

MissingMoominMamma · 13/07/2023 22:20

My friend typing tmw instead of tomorrow. I get really annoyed when I open her texts.

My children

When you order something the size of a cup from Amazon and they send it in a box the size of a house.

People who don't indicate.

Loose instead of lose

And whoever it is in my house who can't replace the empty toilet roll!

Nannewnannew · 13/07/2023 22:38

Visitors who bypass the front door and come and look through the window laughing their stupid heads off, gives me an instant rage, just ring the doorbell fgs!

A friend who can’t seem to know where his dentures are in his mouth and clunks his spoon against them when eating-every time!

Waitrose customers who spend 10 minutes searching for their money off vouchers on their phones-who on Earth thought that idea up?

Baby headbands.

God yes! I begged my son and DIL not to put one on gdd. They looks ridiculous!

NadjaCravensworth1 · 13/07/2023 22:46

Teenagers saying 'obviously' every other word when it's far from obvious

Oneearringlost · 13/07/2023 22:54

People, ( the vast majority, in fact) who cannot pronounce the sibilant sound 's' before words beginning with 'str'. So, for example, 'Shtreet, 'Shtraight'.

Bassetlover · 13/07/2023 23:09

Adults using those stupid E scooters give me the rage.

scoobysnaxx · 13/07/2023 23:11

When you open a packet of tablets and always get the end with the inside leaflet.

Every single bloody time. Makes me rage.

I NEVER open the other end!!!

Clafoutie · 13/07/2023 23:11

People who say ‘myself’ or ‘yourselves’ instead of ‘me’ or ‘you’. It seems to be a sort of corporate-speak. It annoys me so much!

Oh yes, I hate that too. It seems to be everywhere now, especially on adverts.

scoobysnaxx · 13/07/2023 23:16

Most toaster leave 1 inch untoasted at the top so you have to rotate it.

Again makes me rage. YOU HAVE ONE JOB!!

Bananananananananana · 13/07/2023 23:18

Any kind of tech failure

Like when word deletes a 2000 word document

Or mouse/cursor not working

Etc

One thing that is so so enraging!!
