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?

People who say ‘entitled’ when they mean lazy, arrogant or selfish. It boils my piss.

Oh I forgot the worst one. My DH does the loudest fucking yawns. I could rip his head off, it makes me jump every time.

Mindfulness. Big thing at work and seems to be everywhere. I don't get it. It just plain annoys me, even the word mindfulness irritates me.

Probably means I am the sort of person who should be practicing it but I cant-feeling ranty now!!

People who take for fucking ever putting sugar in their coffee/tea at the sugar/condiment stand in a coffee shop. I'm standing waiting to grab a handful of sachets so I can go and sit down but some pratt in front of me has to painstakingly tear open a sachet,shake it in,stir it,then open another one,shake it in,stir it.....and repeat as necessary for however many sachets they're using usually 12. Annoys me beyond reason.

People eating when they're on the phone to me...

People that are overly hesitant when driving!!!!!! FUCKING GO!

People that walk RIGHT behind me?! Move!! Where's your sense of personal space?!

When you're next in line to be served, at distance of about a meter and the customer and shop assistant are just chatting away and laughing like I've got all the time in the world, exchanging life stories etc... well I guess I'll just go fuck myself then?!

GRRR!

The shitbags at work who put the dirty, coffee foamy spoons back unwashed! I drink tea and I don't want to stir it with dirty spoons, nor should I have to clean them all every time!

Probably already been said (I'll be amazed if it hasn't) but wanky "business speak" - today alone I've had "reaching out" (what's wrong with "contacting"??) and "let's take this offline" instead of the eminently more sensible "shall we discuss it after the meeting?" I can feel my hackles rise just reading the bloody words...

People who feed seagulls so they take permanent residence near my house.

People who feed bread to birds

The US customary and imperial systems of measurement

People who are constantly late everytime and make any old excuse for not being on time even though you know theyll be late grrr

Milk tops under the lid. So hard to get off.
Plastic cutlery.
My laundry basket as it’s never empty.

Great thread great. Stand out of course the cashew nut.

Licking fingers . Dd friend started too whilst playing on our computer. Slowly Licking each one. I know her mum goes ballistic over mess. But daughter hygiene is not hot.

Very slow drivers, so slow its a bloody danger! Then they someone roll up to roundabout and just keep going, get away with it then I'm stuck behind even more traffic..

Anything to do with other people humans sharing saliva really. Mums that offer my dc shared drinks... No!! Your dc may look well now but tomowow you'll be telling me they have been struck down with something!!

Other mums giving dd food, every day after school so she is trained to get food. Having to rollback and stop it, please don't offer her food then look pissed off when she stands there!!

People who are sick in sinks, Bath not the loo. This is Vile disgusting stupid behaviour. Why match think lumpy vomit with a plug hole.

Why not be sick in the lovely big loo where it can be instantly flushed away! Instead of lump sick sitting in sink!
People walking with toddler in morning and not letting people past. I have walked with toddler I let people pass by.

People who decide things for you and put on spot eg going to event where don't know anyone. Instead of just chatting someone shines alight that you don't know anyone

Something that really deeply affected me way more than it should happened a few weeks ago, I'm still struggling to get over it.

Rushing to get to mainline Station, from West end, with dd 10.
Got to Covent Garden lifts, plenty of room at the back of the lifts but a group of the most causal, dopey looking tourists, eating ice cream from pots. Taking all the time in the world to slightly shuffle into the lift, dip their spoons in, lick them, stare around the lift like its a musuem whilst myself, dd and other people were desperately trying to get into the fucking lift so it could go and we could go!! Arghhhhhhh.
Why buy ice cream when your about to go underground?!!

Made train by about 30 seconds.

DS's teacher is so sickly sweet I want to smack her in the face. this is totally irrational. I am sure she really is lovely miss lovely but I still want to hit her (obvious I smile sweetly and never would!) trouble is, it's all so "fake" that's why I feel like it

unnecessarily loud ridiculous sneezing does my head in. It's a bodily function, not an audition for the RSC ffs. We all know when a sneeze is building up, why can't you just leave the room before it happens so that we're not all subjected to the build up, the loud ridiculous noise when the sneeze actually happens followed by the crazy hand waving and sniffing. Just fuck off, if you really can't control the noise level, just take it elsewhere.

People walking slowly in the street taking up the whole pavement.

Drivers who speed up to get through a light as it turns red while I'm sitting in a box waiting to turn right. And if the car behind them nips through the light too it really gives me the rage.

When my DHL uses the toilet, he won't use the last few sheets of toilet paper on the roll. He starts a new one and leaves the nearly finished one beside it. Just finish the roll!!! Drives me bonkers!!

If that was directed at me, 0to3, it's not heartbreaking to me, it's just life. I was genuine in my apology, and not trying to make anyone look bad. 😊

Faffers.
Long story people who tell you every little detail. Give me the facts - cut it down to two sentences. Short version.

Big cars parking in next of me in a car park as i cant see around them as they sooo big to drive out of my space.

Cars parking on the pavement so i had to walk with the buggy on the road...today i walked on the pavement but might have had to have one wheel on the flowers of the selfish parker.

Slow drivers

Fast drivers

Peppa pig. I miss in the night garden but now its all peppa pig and i never showed her any peppa pig but she found it anyway!

That Tui advert with that soppy bird murdering Shaka Khans ‘ain’t nobody’

I dive across the room to grab the remote to silence her every time the ad comes on.

Thought if another one. Americanisms and American accents. My mother banned me from watching anything American and now I can totally understand why. I'd do it with my son if I could!

Oh gosh yes faffers.
Dh and pils are champion faffers. When they're together its fuss, drama and faffdom in the extreme. I have to distance myself otherwise I get drawn into their world of faff

Hand dryers. They are a. shit and b. too high. you have to hold UP your fucking hands to get near the pathetic chipmunk fart of warm air and then the water DRIPS down your sleeves with no chance whatsoever of being affected by the chipmunk fart before it's all dribbling up inside your jumper sogging the whole damn thing up

@Clevs totally with you on that one too but my car is always totally filthy on the outside
