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.

"Hence why."

It drives me mad. It's just hence. It means "therefore", or "as a consequence" or "as a result of which". It doesn't need why at the end, it's ungrammatical and sounds thick.

People who park in disabled spaces because 'they are just popping in'

Tweens showing off their present hauls on social media

Oh, I understood the joke just fine - I just think it's gross. Overdone and gross.

Double standards on MN.

Are you all related to Pob?

Not sure who Pob is?

An annoying character on a kids show late 80s early 90s iirc

I don't think she has diagnosed learning difficulties, but she does struggle a lot intellectually, no matter how much you try to point her in the right direction. Lovely, kind lady; just not very practical at all.

For me it’s sleeves of t-shirts.

For me it's my hair getting caught on door handles. When I'm out on a walk it gets snagged on trees and bushes.

Ooh, Pob was so irritating. As students in Wales, every time we drove or walked past a certain sign directing 'pob traffig' (all traffic), we never tired of pulling at our ears and doing the Pob spit!

My daughter has CP. Long before they brought in the trolleys for disabled children, I had no choice but to put her in there if I needed to go shopping alone with her. I’m sure you’ll say “ahh well that’s ok if she is disabled” you would have no idea by looking at her, and it’s either bad or it’s not.

She also scanned the shopping. Frankly she was better at it than many other people I’ve seen using these things. Whenever she goes out with her friends she is always amazed how lacking they are in the basic skills of buying things at the supermarket.

Pob was a puppet. He used to sort of blow raspberries and cover everything in spit iirc. So I presume the implication here is that it must be a spitty family if they can't blow out a candle without contaminating a cake with saliva.

People who don't give way to faster swimmers in the pool. Especially when they wait for you to almost reach the wall and then set off.

Oh my gosh - very, very slow swimmers in the Medium lane who are being overtaken by every single other person but won't get the hint.

Fast swimmers in the Slow lane who act annoyed at all the slow swimmers but won't move across to the Medium lane (no idea why, maybe they get a kick out of being king of the Slow lane).

Ok thats even more stupid
At this rate I wouldnt even bother with the candle tbh

😂 oh I see. No not a spitty family. I haven't had candles in my cake for quite a while. It was more when the children were younger (and probably a bit spitty) that its just stuck.

I think some people are just oblivious as to their own ability. It’s like the runners who position themselves at the front of the pack at Parkrun. There’s a core group who do it at my local one. Every week I overtake them at the first opportunity a couple of hundred metres in, every week they finish a full five minutes after I do, every week they’re still jostling everyone to get through the starting pack to be at the front. Same when I began running half marathons: I assigned myself to the starting block with a goal finish time somewhat over what I was actually hoping for, quickly learned that that just meant being caught behind the two-hour hordes who overambitiously thought they’d be done in 90 minutes.

My feelings exactly about twats and their phones in the theatre or cinema. Totally inconsiderate.
