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 spelling can’t like carn’t 😒

When people write naice instead of nice

Turning the tap on in the sink only for it to bounce off a spoon you didn't see, redirecting the flow of water to cover you

Porridge made with water, so it resembles wallpaper paste. WHY?? Are you all just a bunch of self haters? Treat yourself to some milk!

Ear drum shattering mopeds going past in the street.

People who choose the exact moment they're passing my pram which contains a sleeping baby- the only reason I'm out walking - to shout for their dog or at the friend next to them.

People who can't spell. Their there you're your etc are obvious contenders, but God me the hallmark of stupidity that makes me rage is the following:

"His just having some fun." His? HIS?!

Pilates instructor says ‘breathe in and feel your rib cage moving in and breathe out and feel it expanding’ What?! Every single time 🙄

Adverts on the radio or TV that use incorrect grammar (ie 'The company are...'). Makes me want to scream - I do scream sometimes actually. If you're going to pay millions to get an ad on TV at least make sure someone with some basic knowledge of English grammar proofreads it first FFS!!!

Also, being called mum or mummy. I'm not an ancient Egyptian. I am a mother. A mom or a mommy. Not a fucking mummy!

Bad/selfish/inconsiderate/thoughtless driving in general, up speak, people who sing the last word in a sentence during a conversation, WTF? you're not fucking four years old ffs! And my absolute Bruce Banner to Hulk thing? Wankers (usually BMW/SUV/boy racer types) taking up two spaces in a car park, I've had to stop myself from keying these c*nts God knows how many times.

People who talk to me as if i‘m 12. I‘m 62.

People who start every sentence with 'At the end of the day'. Or end every sentence with 'if you know what I mean'. Arrrrrgggghhhhhh!

When I’m driving and I let somebody out/in and they don’t thank me. Make my blood boil. I hate bad manners 😡

People giving me a cup of tea from a cup that is not white on the inside.

Children sitting on the back cushion of the sofa instead of leaning back on it while their bum is on the cushion that is designed for a fucking bum to go on.

A fucking adult doing that exact same thing after I've just told the children off for doing it.

Errant apostrophes.

user1497787373. Ask her next Friday if she would give them to you for banana bread.

Someone on my fb posting endless posts about being a mum of 3. A mum of girls and how wonderful girls are. She's still pregnant,currently has 1 son. Has to phone her b.f every day from his self employed business because she can't cope with the 1.

Slow drivers

People who don't indicate when turning

A woman I know who's supposedly an English teacher but always uses the wrong your/you're seriously that one bugs me massively

Posts on here where you can't follow what they mean due to massive paragraphs, bad spelling and no punctuation

OH putting things on the side next to the bin instead of in the bin. Apparently due to not knowing if they can be recycled or not

Tv adverts that say something like "90% of women found xyz" then when you look at the small print they asked about 15 people

Oooh this is a good thread!

Xh leaving his empty beer bottles next to the bin. JUST PUT THEM IN TNE BLOODY BIN.
kids and bloody socks EVERYWHERE!
excessive tea stirring IT DOESN'T BLOODY NEED WHISKING
wet sleeves/sticky hands AAAARGH
oh that's better, thank you 😁

Going out for a walk with my DH and he moans and grumps every step of the way. He's just done it in gorgeous sunshine with the birds singing and beautiful scents drifting off the plants and trees. Now he's sitting in the garden on the nicest evening for years reading the miserable bits in the paper to make himself angry.

Wheezing with laughter at this!

Drivers who pull out in front of my car on a derestricted road (causing me to slam on my brakes) then tootle along at 35 mph.

Yum yummy nom nom .... Leave me raging .... Let me break mumsnet I cringe at the dh ds dd etc, drives me nuts, write you're own effing description 'my dh had an affair with my bf' I'm sure the dh is anything but!!!!! I also hate 'how's you'

thisisthefirststep I have heard no one in Scotland using haitch apart from to mention how annoying it is .... Mass generalisation annoys me too, especially when they are wrong ....

Hiccups. Especially other peoples 😡. Fills me with absolute RAGE. I get quite angry when I have hiccups but when's it's someone else it's interstellar 😡.
Water up my arm when brushing my teeth.
Soaking myself when I'm washing up.
People who don't drink all their cuppa but don't empty the dregs down the sink but I don't notice it until I've already ran the sink for washing up 😡😡😡😡.
Hearing extra loud one sided phone conversations on the bus. I don't care who shagged who thanks, especially infront of kids!!!
Adverts.... all of them!

I think I have rage issues

I get really riled at so much on food threads on Mn

Aside from the Yums and noms, there are the dribbles, drools and lushes

Then the abbreviations. Toms, veggies, pud. One poster today even said she was having "jkt pots" for dinner tonight

All salads, chillis and casseroles are huge or massive

And lastly, no one ever puts things in ovens or pots. They chuck, toss or bung them

I get angry because I like food ideas but I have to hide threads because I feel the red mist descend

Trying to get a wet wipe out of the packet with one hand whilst holding on to a wriggly baby with the other. Sometimes I will shake the bloody packet so hard it goes across the room. Normally I'm well prepared with a couple out already but occasionally she'll surprise me with a stealth poosplosion and more wipes are required.

We made the email!

Now annoying myself that I feel that this is somehow an achievement...

Do love banana bread. Not sure I could make one EVERY frecking week though!!

When someone in the Pointless audience starts "ooohing when the score is still well into the twenties". There was one yesterday who obviously loved the sound of their own voice and was doing it loudly all on their own.

A few years ago I kept hearing/ reading people saying 'i'm not a great cook but I make a mean '

I feel that you'd understand my irrational rage at the lack of originality on display here. I've noticed that 'mean' is abating but seems to have been replaced by dirty/filthy
