Little things that make you go grrr....

[Littleorangetree]

Lighthearted thread to alleviate the boredom of a pretty dull Sunday!

Shaving your legs in a freezing bathroom (ouch!)
Putting on rubber gloves and finding they're all wet inside

What little things make you go grrr??

Unravelling the wire on my headphones not that I ever get a chance these days
People putting the lid back on empty containers and putting them away in the cupboard especially delicious pringles

ooh, i like these - some of them have triggered for me :)

my MOST annoying thing (and i worry it will make me homicidal one day) is people eating noisily - turns my stomach and makes me fingers itch at the same time.

handbag falling off shoulder when i bend over to pick up dog shit. (you woud be surprised how much this happens)

People who put anything back on the shelf when it is empty (then have the audacity to ask why i didn't buy said item beause we have run out )

My mother

Going swimming in a pool and getting someone else's long hair tangled in your fingers.

Inventing a genius new namechange on Mumsnet... and then discovering that someone else has taken it already.

The obsession with getting babies to sleep through the night by 5 weeks old where I'm from (Ireland).
Don't normally care what other people do but it's making me cross today!

Rushing down our hall and taking the corner too quick and sraping my shoulder you think I'd know where the wall ends by now, but apparently not!

Tangly bastard coathangers.

Temporary traffic lights (are they actually working? do I set off, or sit here for another 10 mins wondering?)

97 slugs this week round my back door, all picked up and binned (bleurgh).

You'd think we'd run out at some point

MagicHouse - mine are out all day/night (when they aren't in their run).
I use newspaper and hay on cardboard and rubber carmats.

The newspaper and hay gets rolled up and binned daily (and any newspaper in their boxes).
They don't have loads of hay in summer (I worry about cooking them alive ) so I don't mind binning the whole lot.Only takes 5 minutes.
Then a weekly complete empty and spray/steam clean.

Their deep winter bed is changed every 3 days but I pull it up off the floor and pull out any wet hay ( hands on job

My work vinyl gloves (no talcum allowed in them)
Have to wash and dry hands every patient and make sure skin is bone dry or they don't go on. They rip if you pull them, or I have a baggy bit at the end of each finger which I have to pull on one-by-one.

And I'm so tempted to say "That's why I don't use condoms" but my patients would be all Cats Bum Face .

FutureNannyOgg

Being in the bath when the landline phone rings and I've forgotten to switch on the answering machine.

Anything related to Apple. I-pod...I hate you for wiping random albums off for no reason at all but retaining some of downloaded songs.

The fact I don't have a back gate since my ex-h organised a house extension on the cheap. Dragging a lawnmower across my lounge floor = grrrrrrrrr.

My DDs verrucas. I've had stuff from the doctors, Bazuka, stuff of the internet. THEY WON'T GO!

...and breathe

My 'D'H who although a very intelligent bloke just cannot fathom wrapping foodstuffs back up once opened to stop them going stale/soft.. 30years old and he just stares at me when I explain this to him EVERYDAY!!

Empty packets or bottles put back in the fridge.

DP & DS'S rinsing plates etc off and leaving the greasy/dirty water in the bowl in the sink to fester until I come along and empty it - yuck!!!

People who make a big show of giving me right of way on an empty road, when the obstacle is on my side of the road and I have already stopped and am waiting for them to pass! Grrr - just go! It has now taken longer and I have to 'thank' you for it!

I hate the way that sellotape doesn't stick to glittery paper very well and so presents come undone.

Also the pigeons who sit on the roof cooing loudly down the chimney while I'm watching telly.

I hate moths and can't think of a reason not to, what are they for???

And finally those little black flies that go round in a square pattern underneath lightfittings.

DS2 using my trousers as a hanky, while I'm wearing them.

Old people stopping in front of me in the supermarket without warning.

Shoulder bags falling off shoulder whilst doing battle with self service checkouts in Sainsburys and no shelf to put them on.

Handbags and shoulders seem to be a theme. I have been known to almost have a full on tantrum when I get my hair caught under the shoulder strap of my handbag, it just throws me into an incredible, unreasonable rage.

Also getting clothes caught on the kitchen door handle. This happens at least once a day and is a complete mystery as I never catch my clothes on any other handles in the house and they are all at the same height/position

Oh yes that handbag thing!! Especially when wrestling 2 screaming toddlers out of Tesco and your bag catches your hair AND trips you over. Rage.

And mosquitoes. That high pitched whine when you switch off the light and you know you have to find it or you'll never sleep!

Treading on lego.
walking into door handles
door handles catching on clothes.
going to the loo and finding no loo roll or just 1 piece
Sure I can think of loads more.
