Lighthearted things that give you the rage

[Lelophants]

When youre trying to pull out baby wipes when needing to clean something (often a baby’s bum!) very quickly and either none will come out or an absolutely massive wad of them!

The postie giving us the mail of someone who lives over a mile away (ie cant just drop it next door).

When technology doesnt just work.

We live really rural, about 8 miles up a valley, no exit.

Due to council cuts, no transport.

It sends me absolutely nuts when a million (exaggerated probably 30) rangerovers dive up the single track valley at school run time. Refusing to pull over, use passing places or stay away till we all get out!!

Dc sat in the actual trolley
People who drive well below the speed limit
Ddogs who pee up people's property
Actually none lighthearted..
People are twats who do any of the above...

My cat who spends ages digging in the litter tray m ...only to drop the tiniest nugget of poo;!! 🫢🤢

I'm just the right height that my belt loops are level with our door handles. Getting stuck on the doors is honestly the bane of my life.

Flashy light toys in darkened public spaces. I watched a pantomime yesterday where they were selling flashing whirring catherine wheel style wands in the foyer and some parents bought them for their kids. Trying to watch a show with these things waving around in my eyeline, brighter than the stage lights and so intrusive. Why did anyone think these were a good idea to sell or use... what happened to teaching our kids to not distract other audience members from a show?

I understand them more at the fireworks night but I still hate them there. I came home from the fireworks night with a migraine. These toys were everywhere I looked and were such an uncomfortable assault on the senses. Apart from anything I'm sure they are contributing massively to unnecessary landfill. I wonder how they affect people who are sensitive to strobe lighting and seizures.

Ohhhh yeah

I also constantly knock myself when Im tired and it gets me so mad!

People using our front garden as a toilet and not even wiping.

When I slip my shoes on to go outside - normally with my hands full - and my foot just wont slip in properly so Im sort of walking on the edge 😠

WHAT

People who refer to themselves as mummy or daddy to their pets.

I feel your pain @SafeAndStranded, but for me it's my pockets.

Mine is my daughter's Christmas Jumper... it has a very big picture of Rudolf on it, when you press his nose it flashes and plays music. Except the music isn't Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, oh no, the music is jingle bells. I get irrationally enraged every time she presses it. My blood pressure will go down massively when it goes away tomorrow 😆

That my parrot loves my DH and hates me

I work in a commercial building with 62 floors and an “intelligent” lift traffic sequencing system which is anything but. You haven’t experienced frustration until you’re cutting it fine to catch your train home and get to stop off at 33 other people’s offices en route to the lobby.

I get you, OP. I once heard my husband exclaim loudly from the other room when changing a poospolsion nappy:

I’m going to sue Aldi!’

Cringing at that but I cringe when it’s adults doing it to their mum and dad just enrages me.

Not so much rage but definitely irritating...

When the remote control lights up to show it is being pressed but the tv refuses to be controlled!
Pressing harder, leaning forward and giving it a gentle shake do nothing. Standing up and walking towards the tv seems to work.

When you have to enter a password, account number, phone number or anything that's always going to be several letters/characters... and then it patronisingly tells you that it's wrong, too short or otherwise invalid whilst you're typing it - right up until you've finished, and then it goes quiet or condescendingly accepts that you've managed to do it right; without even a whimper of an apology for having doubted your intelligence throughout.

Do software designers not realise how phenomenally enormous standard keyboards would have to be if they all included a single key for every conceivable password, phone number, postcode etc.?!

Entering data into online forms that is basically correct, but the form won't accept it, usually due to spaces.

Credit card numbers are a pain to type without spaces - 16 digits, so it's hard to spot a mistake. See also phone numbers. And it's very, very easy for the the spaces to be removed at the back end - why don't they all just do that? Likewise, if you use autocomplete for you name and address it will often automatically put a space after your postcode or email address, which then gets rejected as "not valid". AARGH.

People who blow their snot filled noses at dinner tables.

This is at the forefront of my mind after sitting on an adjacent restaurant table on Saturday night. 🤮

Walking out the door and catching my glasses on the wall.

Taking a bite of pizza and the entire load of toppings slide off.

Agree about the wet wipes - it gives me the rage!!

Catching my belt loop on a door handle.

When I put on a nice clean pair of socks and step on something wet 😠

🤢

I wouldn’t say this “gives me the rage” but it certainly makes my eyes roll.

I love looking up the cast of any TV show / film I watch on Wikipedia to read up about their early life and career, in particular. Anyway, in at least 99% of cases (no exaggeration) the performer is a “nepo baby”. They have a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle (or indeed all 4…) who is an actor, film director, or another type of performing artist.

Sometimes it’s the ENTIRE cast of a TV show e.g. the show Girls where every single one of the main characters is a nepo baby.

RIP social mobility.

The glasses on the wall made me laugh! Wet socks 😭

Leaking water bottles!

People whistling!
