Petty random things that make you want to lose your shit

[user1497787373]

Colleague buys 2 bananas every Monday. Has done so ever since I've worked there (1+ year). They sit on her desk until they go bad and then get thrown away on a Friday. EVERY week. I've never seen her eat one of the damn things yet come Monday another 2 take up residence on her desk.

Otherwise she's a lovely woman and a great pal. But those bananas... just looking at them makes me ragey.

Anyone else have totally petty, pointless things that you should ignore but instead feeds the inner rage demon?

Yes yes and thrice yes.

Whats the bloody point of something totally irrelevant to ops situation?

OH always (ALWAYS) flicks his freshly washed hands in front of the bathroom mirror instead of reaching for a towel to dry them on.

Gives me the fucking rage!

The word 'meltlet' is rage personified.

Also, DH doesn't say 'bah humbag', he says 'bar rumble'. Which is annoying BUT he is forrin so I occasionally let him off.

I used to have a boss that would phone me and ask me to ring someone, when he could have just rung them instead

I had one of those. I'm sure it was his way of validating his position of authority.

I give you a boss who emails me to ask me to forward an email to various people. Just cut out the middle man (me) and do it yourself.

Seriously. And you're in charge?!

ALL of the eating ones.

People who put their (used) butter knife into the marmalade jar, thus introducing bacteria to the jar which will turn into mould. Well done idiot person! I realise this is me being anal but hey ho.

Any form of 'somebody else will do it' laziness. I.e. leaving the empty toilet roll tube in the bathroom, not throwing out empty bottles of shampoo, leaving towels on the floor, putting nearly-empty stuff back into the fridge, etc.

Oh, and tosspots that think I want to listen to their music by blasting it out from their cars/ houses. Fuck off.

People who use the word “cross”.

I like the word cross It makes me feel like a posh headmistress

I also like smut.

Playing music on speakerphone on public transport

Talking overly loudly on phones on public transport as if want everyone to hear you

Bumping into people you don't know very well on public transport and having a long, awkward chat for a commute

Announcing a change of platform at the last minute so you don't have time to get to the right platform (maybe I just need to stop getting public transport)?

Lifts where you press the floor you want on the outside of the lift (but forget this when you run into a lift)

Workmen who don't turn up but don't bother letting you know

Scarily tidy people - I'm always terrified I'm going to break some rule I'm not aware of

Cordless hoover running out of charge when you need it

Toddler being "helpful" and emptying potty (mostly on the floor)

You know when you're doing something, listening to music with earphones in, and the wire catches on something and the earphones are suddenly yanked from your ears?

Well, that absolutely annoys the fuck out of me!

People whistling. People tapping. Was in Sainsbury's local yesterday and some guy was came in and whistled constantly and tunelessly. Had to ask my family when I got home if it's just me that's so intolerant.

Quite often Dh listens to music on headphones and taps.

I remember hating people fidgeting in primary school!

The clinking of people stirring drinks, a second or two is fine, but some people stir and stir and stir. The sound of someone stirring a coffee in a latte glass is the worst of all

SaucyJane you have my sympathies. I can't imagine what they're thinking.

I've got another one. People attempting to eat crisps slowly and quietly, particularly when they're sitting behind me in the theatre or cinema.

It's like slow torture and it makes me want to stand up, turn round, scream 'JUST EAT THE FUCKING CRISPS', smack them out of the offender's hand, spraying crisps all over the place and then say 'WHEN YOU'VE PICKED THEM UP OFF THE BASTARD FLOOR YOU TWAT'.

aaaaarrrrrggggggghhhhhhh

My DH never shutting the microwave door when he’s used it 😠

Rather than using the last bit out of the shower gel / conditioner / shampoo, my teen DSDs seem to sniff out the new bottles and decide to open them instead! Often the same scenario for milk, OJ ect too.

And they never dispose of empty bottles in the bathroom so the walk in shower turns into some kind of shampoo bottle graveyard!

People who say 'myself' or 'yourself', as in "Would you like any drinks for yourself?" or "If you want anything else, just ask myself."

One day I'm going to blow.

DH loves a stir Mrspotatohead he does a whisking motion off the side of the cup i curse him to hell

Oh and when DP asks stupid questions like when I'm about to dish up dinner "Shall I get some knives and forks out?" Nah - in fact let's give the plates a miss too and scoop this pasta out of the pan with our bare hands.

Plastic bottles (shampoo, body wash, washing up liquid). Why are the majority of them made so you have to squeeze from the top? It gives me absolute rage when I get towards the bottom of the bottle and have to engage in a precarious balancing act where the bottle is turned upside down to drain the last little bit out. Why can't all bottles be designed so you squeeze from the bottom?

Feels good to get that off my chest.

When people leave the kitchen cloth in the sink and put dirty cups and crockery on top of it and pour leftover liquid down on top of it. So you have to rummage in that lot to find it and then clean it.

@MrsJayy oh my god, how do you cope!? It drives me INSANE. The worst is when people stir forever when they don't take sugar. STOP

people throwing their used teabag in the sink instead of the bin

just why? why why WHY?! MIL? Why?

I either go to the far end of the house or take over coffee making I drives me nuts oh and Dh doesn't take sugar wtf is he stirring !

I second being called 'babe' or 'hun' by people who are clearly 5/10 years younger than me (I am only 26) especially** when they don't know me and vice versa

When certain people kindly (huh) put on a wash. Great.

BUT they forget to check pockets and a fecking tissue or two or more get all shredded up and end up over everything in said wash. (plus coins rattling around in the machine too).

I do my One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest grin at that one!

DM (who I love to the ends of the earth) hates nose picking, quite rightly. But it is apparently OK if you cover your finger in a tissue and do it.
The sight of her rooting around up to the second, tissue covered knuckle with gay abandon gives me the absolute rage.

I had a thread once entitled 'I hate Chris Packam' It went exceedingly well
