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 things are ` awesome!', usually said by young person from the USA . No it is not, it is often just ok, pleasant, good, but not awesome . I'm off to scream.

🤣😃😄😅

Ooh this will be therapeutic!

Mouth noises ( particularly ds’s as I have to tell home every time he eats to close his mouth.

Dh asking me to phone companies that I know nothing about eg the garage and telling me what to say, just ring them yourself! Oh and then assuming I haven’t told them right when they don’t do everything he wanted them to do exactly how he wanted them to do it.

Serious fucking Jockin no G ( this is the ultimate rage!)

When my I phone changes fucking to ducking, see there it goes again.

My opposite neighbours parking on the road instead of their drive exactly where I need to swing my car into my drive. Worse when I’m in the van, I’ve actually had to go and park somewhere else before now.

That’ll do for now...

Springers you've just reminded me of one:

Whichever DC it is who keeps pushing the table right in front of the radiator in their room, so there's no space to dry clothes on half the radiator.

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius Dh falling asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow, whilst I toss and turn for hours - bloody insomnia.

My OH can sleep standing up, but when he's trying to be all loving, he creeps up behind me and uses MY pillow so he can cuddle me. I like nice cool patches on my pillows, not all hot from his lava-temperature noggin. He will be asleep in a flash unless I get in first and tell him to sod off my pillow.

My DH says "Sorry?" really rudely about 4 words into my sentence, so he interrupts before I can finish what I was going to say. It's just a habit to say pardon all the time, if he listened to the whole thing the couple of words he missed at the beginning would probably become clear.

He then complains that I mumble and speak really softly. Actually I tend to be quite loud, there is not one other person who struggles to hear me, not even my mother without her hearing aids in. But oh no, his bloody ears don't need checking do they.

I also hate the people in busy train and tube stations who carve themselves a path right in front of me, walking over my feet and making me virtually fall over them, and then have the nerve to give ME evils. Yesterday a bloke was idly wandering along a teeming platform with 3 balloons tied to him. He wandered right into my path so I couldn't avoid kicking him. He looked at me like I'd pissed on his fucking shoes, and as I flounced off scowling his balloons twatted me in the face.

Oh and people who say Chester draws!!!! It’s chest of drawers you fucking moron!!!!

Claira my DM says chester draws. She also pronounces the word frozen as "fruzzen"- even my DD (4) now corrects her as she loves the film Frozen and mum is always saying "oh look (DD's name) this has the princesses from Fruzzen on it!" and is now hit with "granny it's FROZEN!"
Oh, and she says microwave as "meek-ro-wahv".
And pronounces my cousin Sarah's name wrong (Saw-rah as opposed to say-rah).
It's all done in an attempt to sound posh and it's firmly on my list of petty hates.

[speaking from direct, current experience]

When you have a very sneezy cold, grab a tissue to stifle it, but then suck the tissue into your mouth in the pre-sneeze gasp. Repeatedly.

Several pronunciations really irritate me

• series as se-ree-is
• Secretary as seck-eh-try
• Temporary as temp-ry
• nuclear as nuke-u-lar

I work in broadcasting. This happens a lot.

2 of us in the office. Other person always opens another toilet roll before the first one is finished. Sometimes, she opens 2 before the first is finished. Does my head in.

People meandering 2 or 3 abreast down the pavement & I can't get past. Drives me nuts.

When I need a black cab, and one comes past with their orange light off, BUT THERE IS NOBODY IN THE BACK

Makes my blood boil....despite the fact the driver is clearly on their way home/having a break etc etc 😆

But it still gives me irrational rage

Fucking IDIOTS who sit in cars running their engines -especially outside the school. This causes MASSIVE pollution especially if you have a diesel, is totally unnecessary and is actually illegal.
I don't understand why people are so thick.

I remembered another one. That advert that says

"you always said you'd drive a [expensive make of car]....." (as if it was your big aspiration).

No I never said that. Stop telling me what I should aspire to.

Hangers that get tangled in the wardrobe give me massive rage, and opening a cupboard when DH has shoved too much stuff into and everything falls out.
The pinnacle of rage is reserved for alarm clocks that are left on in the morning. DH gets up and goes into the shower leaving his alarm clock merrily beeping loudly in the bedroom. Just turn it off when you get up!!!
Sweaty socks being left everywhere apart from in the washing basket. Just why???

The new self scan system in Sainsbury's. I want to punch it. It questioned every fucking item I scanned today. 😠😠😠😠😠

Pollen.

@MaiahRindell

And weather announcers who tell you what the temchuh will be tomorrow. I want to scream temperature at the TV.

Don't get me wrong - I love my other half to death, but he starts every sentence with "errmm" Like he doesn't really have anything to say but still feels the need to talk !

Has selective hearing and constantly asks me what my daughter has just said to him !! For god sakes man ask her directly !!!

Insists on lolling all over me whilst watching TV - then whinges if I move cos all he was doing was trying to show a bit of love ! For god sakes go and sit on another sofa and blow me kisses rather than squash me into the arm of the sofa !!!

And the worst - says "holibobs" if only I had a big enough patio !!!

"Folk"

"'Y'all"

People starting posts here with ‘umm’.

I have four of these to help shift furniture.

They work. Now and again.

In theory, it should be simple.

Lift corner of item
Toe the dolly into position
Gently land corner on dolly
Repeat

Fat chance! It tends to go

Lift corner of item
Try to land toe on dolly
Accidentally kick it
Watch it pirouette away
Put item down
Bring the little fucker back
Lift corner of item
Try to toe it into position
Lose it under a void you didn't know was there
Put item down
Try to figure out where the dolly went
Work out how to lift the front of the item
Lift it
Break top away from carcass
Shove item until it's almost falling over backwards
Grab dolly
Try again
And again

After getting the item where I want it, I can't do a thing with it until the glue sets.

People who insist (on Facebook) that the sun is shinning. Or that they’ve laid their dinning table.

People who say "Asda's, Aldis or Tescos" there's no S!!!

Also seeing "Sainsbo's" written on here.

People who use dramatic phrases like someone "waltzed in" "stormed off" get on my wick.
