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.

Barely

When I am stood at a pelican crossing, having already pressed the button to stop the traffic, and someone else comes along and presses the button also! Rarr! Do they really think I have just been stood there for the fun of it?! Annoys me every time (think I need to get out more!).

Passwords: we have a system at work that won't even accept words as a password it has to be random letters and numbers with monthly changes. I've taken to doing patterns on the keyboards, then writing little clues as to what starting letter and which direction to go, in the front of my day book.

Stephen Dixon on Sky News. He's a patronising wanker to his co-host. I loathe the conversational style he employs as though it's just him and his mates. Just deliver the news, I do not care for your opinion and boring asides. Equally, Jeremy Thomson with his incredibly patronising delivery and deliberate but ill-timed dramatic pauses and fake surprised tones. Ugh.

• when people talk about 'learning his/her/my/their times tables' or 'learning his/her/my/their alphabet' instead of 'learning the times tables/alphabet', I don't know why so many people preface with his/her/my/their like they're personal things that change from one person to the next

• people walking slowly in front of me who also meander from side to side so it takes forever to get past them.

• people who carry on loud conversations after getting into a lift full of people.

• certain accents where the -ing ending is pronounced as -eeng.

My husband never says people have died. He says they've passed away. Completely normal and reasonable but it makes my teeth itch.

Or 'passed' as a euphemism for dying.

People who call themselves mummy (unless they are talking to someone under the age of five), momma bear or their unborn child bean.

All this can be applied to daddy, poppa bear etc.

So many things.

I have come to the conclusion I'm just an intolerant bitch and the older I get the worse I get.

I shouldn't be allowed out really.

I don't like "losing" meaning died either. But I guess it sounds less harsh to say losing rather than died.

'Passed' always makes me wonder if the person is a spiritualist.

The expression 'i don't suffer fools gladly' usually alerts me to the fact that the speaker is rude, arrogant and dismissive

'Passed' is like passing a stool.
'Lost' or whatever implies carelessness.

Died, murdered and killed all accurate. Much better. I have been known to shout at the tv.

Using pathetic euphemisms insulates us against reality and is generally a bad thing.

user7755 Definitely agree with People who call themselves mummy (unless they are talking to someone under the age of five), momma bear or their unborn child bean. All this can be applied to daddy, poppa bear etc.

Also calling an unborn child anything other than baby/foetus/embryo or, at a push, on a slightly less grumpy than usual day, I'll accept "bump".

Brown or tan shoes with grey and blue suits. Also burly men in winkle-pickers.

It screams spivvy estate agent. I spend a lot of time at weddings aghast at the male guests' footwear choice.

Being given a delivery window of 4 hours. Come on. I could drive from London to Newcastle in that time - surely you can be more accurate.

When I accidentally press the home button on my iPad when I'm adjusting the tilt and it closes the bloody window. Fghghghhgfhdgfhdg.

Blondie81 I am completely with you on the pressing the button - it's lit up! It won't work faster because you pressed it to!

I also get really irritated when people don't turn off empty plug sockets. There's nothing in it! Why leave it live?!

DH folding clean clothes - inside out.

DH pegging boxers, shorts etc. on the line - from the side (should be from the waist).

DH stretching out the hems of tops when pegging them on the line.

I have irrational perfectly understandable actually laundry rage.

Football. Full stop. Game played by overpaid and overrated wimps.
Anyone who wears a football shirt. Grow up!

Pigeons, seagulls and magpies.
Yappy bloody dogs. If you want a dog, get a proper sized one. Not a handbag toy.

derelict Yes! My husband will start a sentence whilst facing away from me or in another room so that I only catch the last bit. I then ask him to repeat it and he repeats the only bit I heard in the first place so .....'do you think we should/what do you think? makes no sense as I didn't hear the first bit and have no context. Drives me insane!

81blondie same with lifts.

Loving this thread! Three things currently giving me the rage...

My mum's irrational obsession with the weather! She always has to know what the weather is like where you are/where you've just been - then tells you that "oh it wasn't supposed to be... the forecast said...." - and then proceeds to argue with you that the weather couldn't POSSIBLY have been what you said it was, because she checked 50 million separate forecasts and they said something different! Yes mum, I can confirm it WAS raining... BECAUSE I WAS THERE! Argh! (Only gives me the rage a little bit! LOL!). She really is obsessive about the weather - has to watch every single forecast going and then give everyone else a report!

The other things currently giving me the rage... radio adverts - they're all absolute crap and the way they try to cram a million terms and conditions in really fast at the end so you can't hear it anyway!

Finally; the voice of the guy on the self-serve tills in Tesco! I actually really want to do that guy harm! Yes, I KNOW my Tesco points add up! Yes I know how to find what bakery item I'm buying! He drives me insane! LOL!

"'Passed' always makes me wonder if the person is a spiritualist."

I am, but it doesn't bother me whether people say passed away, passed/crossed over, or died. I don't get worked up either way.

Women with short hair. I know it's offensive and I don't know why. It makes me mad though
