What do you get irrationally annoyed about?

[ghosty]

I have been smiling to myself at 'am I being unreasonable to want to go to the BBC HQ and bite someone' and 'am I being unreasonable to be Homicidal with Rage about ...' threads

I am generally a chilled person ... I can't get myself worked up about parent and toddler car parking threads for example ...
And laughed till I cried over the 'grapes' thread years ago on Mumsnet ...

BUT: When I help my children do a jigsaw puzzle and find at the end that there is a piece missing I get soooooooooooooo irrationally angry that I want to chuck a chair out of the window ....
Obviously I don't ... as I am a 'nice mummy' and I would scare my children. But inside I am screaming "Where is that faaaaaarrrrrking jigsaw piece????????"
I have to go and take deep breaths and calm down or have a gin
I am the same with lost shoes.
And if someone parks their car on the pavement on the way to school and I have to push the buggy out onto the road to get past I have to suppress an urge to run my keys down the side of that car

So, what silly thing do you get irrationally cross about????

these are so good, i am pmsl,,, especially custardo who must have steam coming out of her ears 24/7

Squonk have you tried the Telephone Preference Service?

Happy Daddy I want them to eat their dog's poo and then I want them to be put in prison for ever where they will not be allowed to keep a poo making machine.

I hate the word MOIST and the wrong use of "literally". And people who say "It's a no-brainer" and "Do the Math"
Those annoy me hugely.

yes. Did it and everything was fine until a STUPID, STUPID, STUPID man went and registered for something on the internet and gave our phone number out.

(irrationally annoyed at dp again now)

Keep meaning to do it again but tbh, it only happens about three times a week now.

Oh that would make me irrationally annoyed!! Or maybe even rationally annoyed! Three times a week, that's still a lot!

when the little ones are awake, I let them talk to the caller. It amuses me, keeps them quiet and probably annoys the SH*T out of the salesperson (hee hee)

Newsreaders who are falling out of their tops
(sorry started another thread on telly addicts about Kate Silverton and her gratuitous breakfast cleavage today) Just be a grown up and put it away you're at work!

(they're 21/2 and 1 btw)

The inability of the rest of the household to load a dishwasher correctly - despite numerous "masterclasses"

It's:
Fork tines - UP
Knife blades - DOWN
Spoons separated to prevent "spooning"
Check that large dishes are loaded at the back to allow clearance for the whizzy thing
Cups, glasses etc on top tray

It's not rocket science ffs - it's a practical household task

People who drive in the middle / outside lane of the motorway when there is nothing to the left of them. FFS if you are not overtaking the GET BACK INTO THE INSIDE LANE, MUPPETS

YIAM, I'm like that too! And I get called a control freak. Delighted to know that I'm not alone in the world.

oh yes, apostrophe's in the wrong place... LOL. Hate that.

cold callers on the doorstep who refuse to leave information so that I can make an informed decision.

people who drive in the middle lane of the motorway when they aren't overtaking.

oh dear, feeling quite narked now. off to start another thread...

think we're three of a kind on motorways matey and frog!

four, coz that really gets my back up as well. There was a question when I took my driving test: "you're driving down the M6 at 68 mph. Which lane are you in?" I hope they FAILED everyone who didn't answer "left hand lane, unless I'm overtaking"

People who beep at you whilst you are trying to get a defiant wriggly toddler in to the car seat and who decides at that moment to see how rigid they can make themselves.
I simply hate being rushed out of a car parking space.
I will leave in my own good time. Those selfish people can just drive around a bit more.
A few times i have sat there and stared at them, willing them to get out of their car so i could have right slanging match with me.
Especially if they are blond bimbos in expensive "Get the f**k out of my way 4X4s.

hey ripeberry, they'd love me, I sometimes feed my baby in the car - rushing about ferrying DS1 here there and everywhere, so I'd look like I was leaving, and then out comes a bottle and bowl and little spoon. LOL LOL LOL!!!

Shop staff who carry on chatting to a work colleague or, even worse, on the phone while serving you. Hate that so much.

Hi Claremow, yes i did that once in Betws-y-coed in N. Wales. My DD2 wanted her milk she was only 4 months old but i was breastfeeding so i wanted to move from the drivers seat to the back seat to feed her and this women pulls up and asks if i'm going.
I may have said it the wrong way as i was tired after a 3hr drive up and said, no i was staying.
God! the look she gave me, it was as if i was her enemy or something.
Rest of that day, kept seing her around the village and we would just glare at each other.
Totally childish.. Tee-hee.

Occasionally (ie: once a week) I will buy a cbeebies magazine; it really annoys me when the free gift is designed for children older than mine so I have to try and hide it from them.

I know I could NOT buy the magazine.

I know I could look at the free gift BEFORE buying the magazine and make a rational decision about whether or not to buy it.

But that's no fun, I have to buy it then whinge at the fact that the kids can't play with the free gift.

Oh and people who misuse the word 'mortified'

and decimated.

and incredibly.

I NEED to get out more

also spelling definitely with a rogue "a" instead of the second "i". Pedant.

Oh no, I spell definitely, like that. I thought my grammar and spelling were good, too.

glad to have taught you something HD!
