What perfectly acceptable things that make you unreasonably angry?

Every morning DH asks me to check over his face for random missed shaving bits and blemishes. Then when I tell him he's fine, he says 'Are you sure?'. Angry Just look in the fucking mirror you dick.

I speak to my mum everyday on the phone. She always asks me what we're having for tea. I tell her then she tells me whether she likes that particular meal or not (usually not). I'm not inviting her round so why do I care if she likes my tea or not? Angry

I'm an unreasonable person.

Depends what you mean by perfectly reasonable.....one person's perfectly reasonable is another one's hell.
I cannot stand:
Bad grammar
People who say "haitch". It's flipping "aitch"!
Using words you cannot pronounce like "specifically" (it is not "pacifically"!). If you can't say it right, don't bloody use it!
The squeaky bird on the SCS adverts
People who will not make a decision then blame someone else for making a decision they don't like.
People that don't remember the "magic words" because they feel it is their God given right to have you hold that door open, demand you do something or run around after them (after all you have nothing better to do).
Timewasters.
People who look for hidden meanings in everything you say because they like drama
Or maybe I am just a cranky old bird.......

People who turn the steering wheel of their car with the heel of their hand, like a bus driver.

Whole stomach tenses up with anger.

Oh and just to add here:

Red nose day (very wealthy celebs ordering the little people to give up their money and those clichéd pictures of suffering children);
Pink ribbons for cancer;
People who tell me to 'enjoy!"
Cosy adverts from utility companies;
All gambling adverts (when was this even allowed - just ghastly);
Whistling accompaniments in TV adverts (yes there is a lot of it about);
Cold callers - all of them and especially chuggers (please bugger off and do not disturb my peaceful enjoyment in my own home);
All organised religions;
Gnocchi (the worst stodge ever);
Traffic lights that seem to keep on red forever;
Road works/or roads just closed for no explicable reason (seems someone is just doing it on a whim, just because the bastar*s can?);
Clothes that keep shrinking despite my best endeavours to manage my weight.

I'm sure there's more but it's nice to get them off my chest Grin

That ubiquitous 'whistle' ring tone. Followed by the ring tone that sounds like an old fashioned car horn.

People that say "my bad"..I don't know if my anger leads to my confusion of visa versa.
#MEANINGLESS WORD S THAT WON'T BE SEARCHED FOR MY ANYONE.
JAZZ music and smooth fm makes me want to thump my head on the wheel.

Other things that give me unreasonable rage:
Slow walkers
People who don't have their train tickets ready for the machines at the barrier
Soft play centres
Misplaced apostrophes
Mud Confused

The feeling of needing a wee. I bloody hate having to stop what I'm doing, even if it's nothing, just to go to the loo.

Whistling. Makes me furious in a split second. Even if it looks like your going to whistle... NO

The sound of partner eating. Haven't read the thread yet. Pretty sure pp's would have said the same.
My dad when I say 'ok' and he says 'ok?'. Yes, I just fucking said ooookkkkk!!!

My period. A red mist decends three days before my period is due and suddenly everyone and everything makes me irrationally angry. Thankfully it only lasts for 24 hours, but it's awful.

My boss referring to a bit of work or a project as a 'piece'. Like it's a designer dress. In fact, I hate that term when it refers to a frock too.

Customers in the shop where I work doing this weird hand thing when you give them their change and receipt, they don't want the receipt which is no problem, they can just say they don't want it and I'll bin it, but no, they do this thing with their hand which is hard to describe but it's a flick and the receipt falls on the counter, but they grab the change

Also customers who take a receipt but crumple it up and throw it back at me, so incredibly rude!

I could go on all day about rude customers!

An ex friend who used to boast all the time about how wonderful her DC were, but constantly running my DC and me down

Eastenders

Sure there'll be more!

Yes to the creaky voice - vocal fry. The Kardashians do it, so does Britney Spears.
I hate people walking too close to me, particularly from behind. I have to stop to let them past/move an acceptable distance away.

The Radio Scotland news presenter who peppers interviews with, 'Y'know.' No, we don't know, that's why we're listening to the radio.

Star Wars.
Mums who complain their kids eat too much junk, yet keep buying the stuff and store it in the cupboard.
Boden
Kath Kidston
Emma Bridgewater
Crowds
Wind
Loud kids
People who silently mouth "thank you" to someone
Skinny jeans on short chunky legs
Gap
Jehova's witnesses
People who insist on explaining something for half an hour instead of 2 minutes.
When people say "good boy" or "good girl" to kids. It's like praising a dog.
People who don't close their curtain when it gets dark. Worse; when they don't even have a curtain yet they are not bothered by it.
Spanish (the language)
Electric hobs
Pittbulls on the street without a leash, walking 5 metres after or before their owner.
The sign "Sorry, we are closed". Why be sorry? Just say "we are closed".
Gap yearers
People who say Ryan Gosling is sexy. NO! He looks like a bird.

I am sure there's more, I'll be back...

Hurting myself, for example I banged my elbow on the door handle the other day and it took all my control not to swear and punch it. It makes me fucking furious.

Really don't want to analyse why that is Confused
