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 blowing their nose in my vicinity. Cannot stand it. Go do that somewhere private. Especially my colleague who has the most feeble nose blowing technique I’ve ever encountered, she makes the same sound as I imagine an elderly mouse experiencing an asthma attack would make. Just go to the bathroom give your nose a proper blow and stop all that sniffly nosed shit.

The driving ones are making me cringe as I tend to ‘let people out’ drive a bit slow. I am getting old though..I must sort it out.

A man at work who asks, every day, "How are you? Living the dream?" and responds to, "How are you?" with "Living the dream."

I'm going to have to say something soon even though I know it will make me a right twat.

Walking with someone and they don't know the way , but insist on rocketing on ahead.

Or on a family group holiday and they don't consult you on the afternoon plans just expect you drag along behind. Nope, I have kids to plan for. I rebeld big time that day.

Loud sneezing is really annoying.
Loud nose blowing.
Noisy eating.
Bad table manners.
Business bores on phones imagining people are impressed. Loud talking about their tedious business lives is also boring for everyone.

Limp lettuce leaf handshake - usually from women. Urgh

Oh god Gemini the sky delay.... gives me the fucking rage!!!

The wrappers from binbags..

thank gawd it's not just me

People not moving down the carriage on the tube.
People running for a tube on the Jubilee line and mowing people down (they.go.every.2.minutes.you.fuckwit)
Cyclists jumping red lights.
My partner not emptying the bins. He ha one fucking job. One.

People who stop slap bang in the middle of the entrance to supermarkets to have a chat with someone they've just bumped into with their flipping trolleys. Move. To. One. Side. Please!

The amount of cables and chargers and plugs required nowadays. I feel like I spend half of my live unravelling cables, finding the right plug to match the cable, charging my phone or laptop or Fitbit or laptop

People/houseguests who always, always leave a third of a cup of tea or coffee in the cup. I had a guest recently whose husband said, fondly, 'oh, she always leaves some in the cup'. Sure, I'm happy to chuck half my effin' expensive coffee down the sink every time I make you a drink because you think this is a cute affectation. Fuckwits.

Oh, and people who don't close packets (ham/cheese/babywipes) properly so they go all dry and crispy and curly and half the bloody pack has to be chucked away.

Loud crisp eaters (I'm looking at you, DH).

People who 'wash' a cup or glass by half swiping it under a cold tap then turn it upside down in the sink. WTAF is that all about?

When you ask people, 'Would you like a cuppa/biscuit/glass of wine' and they say, 'Go on then' as if you've twisted their arm against their better nature. No. Fuck off. I don't actually want to have to do anything for you, I'm just being polite.

Anyone that tells me to 'calm down' Guaranteed to invoke the jump up and down, ear-steaming fuckity rage.

People that don't shut the shower gel lid then rest it on the side of the bath so the gel oozes out everywhere. Similarly shaving gel on the sink. I'm looking at you dp.

Oh yes and EMPTY FOOD PACKAGING in the cupboard/fridge / freezer, why why why?????

Anyone elses dp bundle their socks together in a pair in the laundry basket? What's the fucking point of that??

Magnetar your guest could have been my DM! You could put a fl oz in a cup and she'd still leave half.

Rage in this sense is a totally sexist notion,
but one willed on women by women.

People talking on public transport. Especially at commute-o-clock. Especially in the quiet zones.

People walking while looking at phones. In front of me.

Drivers in a completely inappropriate lane. MOVE OVER. Or just generally at wrong speed (pp identified it).

Knife licking

But then I get anally retentive grammatically...ending a sentence with a preposition...American spellings...fewer rt less...

The sound of suitcases on wheels being pulled along. Especially when I'm trying to walk to and from the railway station. Their owners also like to try and trip you up with them. Grrrr.

Get off me you clingy little fuckpuffin.

Am dying laughing at this! Going to use it in a conversation I’m having with work mates currently.

People turning off their car engine and abandoning their wind screen wipers in mind wipe gives me the total rage!

Also clothes jumping off coat hangers in shops. I literally cant get within a foot of anything without it plopping to the floor. Coat hangers in general are absolute bastards.

Drivers not acknowledging that I’ve let them go when I’m walking.
They thank me if I’m driving and pause for them but not when I’m on foot and actually take precedence.

Made myself cross now.

Colleagues who can’t be arsed to walk downstairs to our kitchen and instead rinse their cereal bowls in the sink in the ladies. Leaving chunks of muesli in the sink that reminds me of puke. Gross.
