What perfectly acceptable things that make you unreasonably angry?

[BrotherBeer]

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?'. 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?

I'm an unreasonable person.

I am sick to death of the running demonstrations of engaged middle-class parenting that is fucking rife in West London.

Yesterday in the quinoa cafe on Fulham Road, I had the most galling experience where I had to wait for Olivia and her mother to go through the whole menu like so: 'You like hollandaise sauce, Olivia, remember you tried in Cornwall last summer, remember?' and, 'How about some carrot juice? Like the juice that we make at home?' and 'Olivia, say thank you to this lovely lady for making your carrot juice' and so on.

People who open a packet of something that is clearly designed to be one serving (standard packet of crisps, small bar of chocolate etc), have one or two small mouthfulls then fold the pack over and leave it for later. [This annoyance may actually be jealousy as I can't imagine ever doing it]

Teens (and older, which is even worse) that constantly recount (usually rather mundane) discussions with other teens using the words 'And she was like..... Then he went......... So she turned around [see several pps] and was like.........So he was like OMG and she was like Duuhh'. What's wrong with 'said'? Why all the turning around and going? Why is everything 'like' and what is it like?

I drink tea black, and unless I ask for it to be topped up with some cold water, the barista inevitably hands it to me in an undrinkably steaming hot state and I have to wait about an hour before I even dare to go near it. Surely there realise that nobody drinks it like that? I'm not the bloody mother of dragons.

they realise. Arrgh. I also hate my phone.

Young children in jewellery. There's a 3 year old boy who I see at drop off at my children's school and he wears a thick silver necklace, a chunky silver bracelet and a shiny diamond earring. It's really obvious in the hot weather as he's wearing a vest and shorts and it looks awful. What's the point?!

When the media uses the phrase 'X took to Twitter' - agh!

Starting sentences with 'so' - this phenomenon began in the Pointless studio it seems as most of their contestants do it.

Celebrities who when being interviewed say "you know what" ....and then go on to tell us something utterly banal and boring. If you're going to say "you know what" let it be at least interesting, but better still don't say it at all. Also the over use of "Oh my God" by anyone slightly over excited by absolutely anything.Just change the bloody record and stop being so predictable.

Loving this. Newby and first post, so here goes:

What do selfie sticks and tampons have in common?
They both have a c*nt on the end of them!

Young people (and not so young) who can't just smile for the camera, why all the ridiculous pouting, and why do they do that stupid thing with their hand across the face. I also hate the word "selfie" and everything it stands for.

Bwah.

Steve Wright.

He talks old style radio bollocks over pretty much every song he plays and sings tunelessly along to half of them. I cannot help myself shouting in fury at the radio every time I hear his bloody voice.

I avoid his show as much as possible but I was flicking through the radio stations in the car on the way home from work the other day and a cracking tune was on (Last Shadow Puppets - Aviation if you want to know). I didn't realise it was his show & was listening quite happily until he butted in about half way through the song to tell us all that he absolutely loved this song...the words...the riff...the guitars...the meaning and then he sang along! Well I love it too and now you've ruined it. JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET US LISTEN TO THE MUSIC, YOU COMPLETE KNOB!

Ooh I've got myself into a rage even thinking about it.

I have two Dds - one 3.5 and one newborn.

My MIL (from Bham) will ask on the phone "how's the bab?"

We have only one BABY and I know full well she's referring to the eldest. SHE IS NOT A BAB! BAB IS NOT A WORD!

I just smile and say that she's well, but it gives me the rage. I feel bad because it's a regional thing and people of any age get called bab. I still hate it.

This thread is amazing. Keep them coming.

ABloodyDifficultWoman I could be wrong, I suppose, but airports and planes seem to turn even the most regular people into absolute basket cases!

Like the people who start taking off their seat belts as the planes slowing down and then jump up out of their seats immediately after it's stopped to grab their bags and leg it off the plane first. Inevitably onto the shuttle bus which won't actually leave for 20 minutes until everyone's on anyway. Wankers.

Burnt toast and cups of tea that are too strong. They make me unreasonably cheesed off

Brother - that's me that is! And I am acutely aware of the absurdity of what I've just done and acutely aware that a LOT of other people are looking at me thinking "What kind of a dipstick is she then?!" Last flight I took I actively stopped myself from doing it and watched the shuttle bus fuck off without me and the other stragglers. I rest my case!

ABloodyDifficultWoman Hmm, will have to have a serious think about you now!

People calling and then when you dont pick up texting 'hello are you there??'.......... i also hate it when people call and you dont answer and they then text something along the lines of 'i need to talk to you its important' but without detailing how important so it could be anywhere between someone you love has died to they cant find a pair of hoes that match the skirt they bought and want your advice.... i mean if it is important you need to detail why in the text.

haha *shoes sorry

Those stupid green plastic topiary balls hanging up outside people's house. What is the point of them?

Flip flop wearers and that horrible slap slap sound they make when they walk

The sound of my neighbour's broom on the patio, day in, day out. Sometimes he sweeps the pavement and the gutters outside too. He's lovely, but I wish he'd just sit still and relax sometimes

hoes hehe

rainchancer, yes!! Bloody selfies, especially pouty/ duck face ones!

People who don't know where to find a pair of hoes when they need them. I mean - come on! Doesn't everyone know that?

Appliances that beep. Washing machine, dishwasher, iron , microwave, cooker, voicemail & alarm clocks, especially alarm clocks I wake up in a rage every time. These bits of machinery are worse than a whingey child, make me feel like their slave

flossies I work in Coventry and our receptionist uses the term "babbie" it gives me the rage. IT IS NOT A REAL WORD also my ds is 3 so cant even be considered a baby now.

Chunkymum - my OH can make a Mars bar last 3 months, drives me nuts but goes daft if anyone else scoffs it first

People saying "frankly". I fucking hate it. It makes me want to commit violence.
