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?

My 11 month old has discovered her 8 teeth. She likes to crawl right up to me and stare me in the eyes whilst grinding them together! Confused

The pedestrian traffic lights on my way to work - if they go red that means ten cars on the slip road get through onto the main road so I'm ten cars behind now. Aghhh !!!

Damson I do that too. Also once had actual tears of rage trying to open a tin of corn beef.

My son says “what was I gonna say?” as a preface to every single thing he says. It really annoys me & it shouldn’t.

When my husband leaves the top of the washing up liquid bottle open. All those lovely Ecover dolphin-friendly essential oils just being destroyed. I could easily whack him with the nearest pan.
The worst bit is, he isn't washing up. We have a dishwasher for most things and I keep the WUL for delicate things like my special China cups. He's actually using it to wash his hands as he's too fucking lazy to go 6 steps to the downstairs loo. ConfusedAngry

And breathe ...

At the moment it is not being able to find the remote control that I need. Because for some reason, every single fucking time I need a remote, it has vanished into thin air. Honesty I could have used the same remote not ten minutes before and it won’t be where I left it. I am close to just hammering them all onto the coffee table to have done with it.

The Apple TV one is the biggest bastard for this. It is a little silver slip of a thing and it just grows legs and skips away into the abyss.

That, and my husbands complete inability to close any door.

Oh god yes, whistling. Angry

I have tried tolerating it as DH, and DD in particular, love whistling.

They think it's sour grapes because I can't whistle (pathetic phoosh noise, lots of spittle, but no discernible whistle) but it's not. It just makes me so very very angry.

Water dripping down my sleeve when brushing teeth. Drying or washing a sieve. Wiping drops of piss off toilet seat. Use of hun/babes by someone I don't know. Piled up snot infested tissues at the foot of the bedroom bin where they have been thrown but missed bin. Crumbs not wiped after making toast but brushed onto floor, causing barefoot crunch. I discover new ones every day but don't ever lose any so the list just grows.

People wiping the condensation off the inside of my car windows. Give me 30 seconds to put the fans on and it'll magically clear. But no. They touch the fucking glass so the patterns are there to haunt me every time the glass gets steamy. 😡😡😡

CEREAL. People scoffing cereal. Crunching, slurping, taking the damn bowl up to their face to eat it all before it turns into this revolting milky sludge. People eating it at their desk in front of others. It's just disgusting. The best one was one of the school mums who one morning decided to take the bowl with her on the school run and pig it all whilst running towards the gates. Talking to someone else with her mouth full of slop. I couldn't believe my eyes. Can they not go without just one day? Have a cereal bar instead? She's a lovely lady btw but that day I wanted to hit her .😝

The wind blowing my hair in my eyes and whipping the rotary clothes line around while I'm trying to peg clothes on it. For some reason this usually fairly placid, easy going person hops up and down with fuckity rage when that happens.

I don't have to put up with it anymore because I'm divorcing him (not just for this, although I came very close), but XH used to bite cashew nuts in half before consuming. It was the shape his mouth made when he did it that wound me up so much (also used to see it when he was giving me oral sex so you can imagine how that used to go)
It was the only food he made such a big deal of eating. Everything else would be inhaled at speed.

God even remembering it is making me feel murderous Grin
