Inconsequential things people say that ^really^ disproportionately and irrationally piss you off.

[JanetSaysYouGotTidyHair]

My mum jokingly calls me a "tight arse" and it really, really makes me want to throw things. I'm not a tight arse. I love Iceland Food Warehouse. I love charity shops. I love Savers. I love vinted. I love a bargain. None of this makes me a tight arse.

Another one is concerning my home office which is in a converted outhouse in my garden. It make me absolutely murderous when people ask "Isn't it cold?" like I didn't employ a professional builder, didn't get it fully insulated, didn't get good heating installed.

Both of these things happened today. And my period unexpectedly arrived. I want to throw things and hurt people.

Tell me what other completely inane, inconsequential things people say that make you want to throw things and hurt people.

I agree with so many of these that I can't recall if anyone has said "my bad".

My personal opinion .... as opposed to your impersonal opinion?

I'm not meaning to be racist/sexist BUT ... yes, you are.

I've found my tribe. Similar to "welcome to my world".

Hi, I never thought my son would talk (he’s diagnosed with autism) and I mourned it repeatedly, it haunted me. I can’t shut him up now. Of course I know that might not happen for your son and I didn’t want to get my hopes up so I’m not trying to do that to you but there’s still hope . He was almost 5 when he started x

Can I add 'AuDHD' to the list?

I know what people mean but I cannot help interpreting it as being autism-deficient, whereas we have quite enough autism to be going on with in this house.

My DD used to say ‘sure’ which I found so rude. I had a big rant about it - answer the damn question, yes or no!

I do that because I sit and want to snarl at the frequent fliers. It happens every week/ month/whenever. Being twee is the only way to do it (as the aforementioned sensitive flowers don't like " being told what to do").

Oh, and another one… ‘I’m not gonna lie…’. Well, no, I didn’t think you were going to lie, but now you’ve mentioned it…

Bosses who send group whatsapps or emails starting with "Team......" as we are not a team, they have all the power and shut us down if we dare ask a question or say something pertinent that they dislike. So patronising too to use on adults.

I once read an article (by a bloke) who said that if you really feeling like pissing your wife/partner off, do some hoovering (for once) and afterwards say brightly, ‘Goodness me, it’s been an awful long time since the hoover went under the bed/sofa, hasn’t it?’

(I’m afraid to say I did laugh.)

When people repost 'worthy' round robin type stuff on Facebook:
Who is brave enough to repost?
Anyone?
Let's see who is prepared to flood with this.
1% will repost; 99% won't. Who has the guts?
Most won't but my real friends will repost in honour of...

Gives.Me.Rage!

When awaiting smear test results (previous smear having a bad result) or when six weeks into a new job they announced redundancies - "it's not worth worrying about 'til it happens". Fuck right off!! Easy to say when it's not happening to you!!

‘We’re all a bit autistic’…

When people say "oh, aren't you lucky to be so slim". Erm, no...luck doesn't come into it. I work out HARD most days and eat healthy food.

Also, I fucking hate the term "chillax" 😒

My auntie always used to say ‘your face has filled out a bit’. I have quite a round face but it hasn’t changed much over the years. I could never work out if it was intended in a good way or not.
My mother’s was ‘you aren’t as fat as I am’ so she obviously thought I was fat even when I wasn’t …

“calm down”

I AM FUCKING CALM

“I done XYZ for you”

You’ve done fuck all for me pal, the washing, dishwasher etc is OURS!!

Exactly this

Chillax 😒

"It's what I/we do"

😱

You do you

Why is it just her kitchen? I really hope you are being tongue in cheek, @Newmumhere40.

Perhaps this is more an action than words spoken but I get the rage with 'I'll send you on a link..'. About 90% of the time it's not something I want to see. Someone tells you about a wedding venue they were at, or shoes they saw somewhere or the new washing machine they bought. I'm sitting talking with you face to face, I am literally listening to you, you have an opportunity to tell me all about it but instead you want me to pick up my phone and sit in silence scrolling.

When I yawn at work our assistant manager ALWAYS says "are we keeping you up love?!"
No i actually have a this thing that you're fully aware of where I'm actually just fucking tired.

It's a joint kitchen, for the use of both partners.

'I'll take that!' Meaning something has happened that I'm pleased about.

'Lost six pounds this week on my diet. I'll take that!'

I don't like expressions used as a bandwagon. Until recently the humble verb give worked just fine.

You gift land, you give everything else.

I also hate "reach out". It seems to have multiplied in use during 2024. Maybe it can reduce itself again during 2025 :)
