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.

Oh - 4) adverts that claim to remove "up to 100%" of whatever your problem is. Like dandruff shampoo or something. What they're actually saying, "May or may not work".

The vanish tip exchange advert.

Every stain is the same advice (water in the powder, rub it in, put a scoop in the wash)

The advice is WRITTEN ON THE BACK OF THE TUB.

What is the point of having a frigging tip exchange, just read the tub!!!!!! Aaarrrggghhh

Gravity. Absolutely fine most of the time but when I'm trying to hang up a basket full of clean, wet washing, it conspires against me to make sure that everything ends up on the floor.

Chocolate biscuits..... I've just eaten 8 of the things. That gives me the rage. Why are they so damn tasty?

The phrase 'watch this space'. No, you watch it and let me know if anything happens.

Traffic. Oh god how I hate it. That awful infuriating ghastly trickle up and down roads and motorways that is just such a fucking waste of fucking everyone's fucking time why can't they all fuck off and let me have the road all to myself fuuuuuuuuck.

Traffic.

Traffic can go fuck itself up its multiple exhaust pipes.

Oh lord yes, Vanish tip exchange. Could be replaced by a single page site that just has the words "TRY VANISH ON IT".

Hipster try-hard pubs that put your bastard roast dinner on a fuckmonkey twatface bread board or titting roof tile or put your chips in a mini deep fat fryer cage thing WHY FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S HOLY WHY. Are you gripped by a terror that the chips might not be stone arsehole cold by the time they reach me????

Presenters on telly programmes not looking direct at the camera when they are talking. Bloody annoys the hell out of me

Constant use of the word "absolutely" as an answer to everything

British people saying 'ass' or 'butt' instead or arse or bot/bum/backside

Adults saying ' poop'

The idea of caffeine shampoo -why? What does it do?
Artificial sciencey-sounding made up names for stuff in face gunk boswellox? Really?
Three staff re-stocking the (very narrow with a big pillar in the middle) yoghurt aisle with great big trolleys so no one can get through when I'm trying to shop in a hurry even when I go at random different times. Do they wait until I park the car and do it on purpose?

Park benches with memorial plaques.

Adults eating stuff in the supermarket before paying. Once saw a woman biting chunks out of a Victoria Sponge in the cake aisle.

'Little girl' voice people put on when they 'weally want sumfing' from you.

DH calling knives and forks "eating irons". I think it sounds pretentiously wanky.

What do you mean come up? Are they going somewhere?

No? Thought not. Angry

Women wearing black opaque tights on boiling hot days like today

Oh YES - this gives me that absolute RAGE! Yesterday afternoon I saw a woman with a child pushing a pushchair with a toddler in it. The woman and child both had puffy winter jackets on, zipped right up, and the toddler was in a fleecy footmuff! Angry

In the playground at drop off this morning, some of the girls were wearing thick wooly tights and boots with their summer dresses. ARGH!

See also: people with babies in prams who have the hood up and rain cover on at all times. Daylight must never touch the baby!

PrivatePike - I think it make parks look like graveyards when there's a lot of them, except for the one on Wimbledon Common that's enscribed to "Lady Bubbles and her son Lord BooBoo" which one can only hope were dogs.
