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?

Blister packs for little pills.
My antihistamines are tiny. I have often ended up wrestling one out of the packet as the foil decides it doesn't want to let go. I give it some more force, only for it to either ping to the other side of the room or crumble into even tinier portions. It's rage inducing and as I have fibromyalgia and mild carpal tunnel syndrome I also end up with very achy wrists.
My latest pointless rage inducer is a computer game called Medieval Engineers. Actually, I love the game but it has its little foibles. Yesterday I was asking the computer why it would let me put a piece of roof in on one place, but not in the next. But why? They're the same! Don't just make that "plomp" noise at me and turn the item red!! I'm trying to build an epic castle here!

Oh, and ds and his toast eating method.
Does he pick up the slice and take a bite? No.
He tears a piece off and then nibbles it. This seems to be the ultimate method in crumb production. I'm thinking of reverting to some sort of dirt or rush flooring in our dining area as it's so frustrating!

-YouTube: The Youtubers' voices (high pitched and tedious); Lists "The Ten most secret places in the world", "How to survive in the wilderness", "How to recognise a kidnapper" etc. (and Kiddo watching this stuff)
-My Boss buying a pineapple every time, never eating it, throwing it out, buying the next one, apparently just as the centerpiece for his fruit bowl
-My Boss thinking he needs to explain to me how to use a vacuum. Surprise, I know how, I have been cleaning with that thing since September

Oh so many. So very many.

DP snoring. Fucking noisy gasping rumbling vile sleep destroying sound. It led to a massive row at 2am as I am up with the baby too and now he's downstairs not talking to me.

When you put on a coat and your sleeves get all rucked up inside the coat sleeves. Makes me all bejiggity.

When the wind blows a bit so that a big strand of hair gets stuck to my lip gloss. So so annoying.

People who say/write "of" when they mean "have", and people who can't use apostrophes.

Double dipping. Its DISGUSTING. Especially in a big situation, e.g. canapés at a work function or wedding.

Using a public toilet that smells of someone else's shit. First it's gross. Secondly the next person behind you in the queue will think it was you.

Tomatoes in sandwiches. Fuck off, tomatoes. You taste like shit and you make everything else soggy with your slime and your seeds.

Flip flops. This may be be bitterness because I can't cope with toe posts/thongs, but they look and sound so uncomfortable, slapping about the side of the pool.

• it's disgusting.

My phone's shit grammar is also up there on the list of hate

Starting every phrase with 'so'. It's everywhere and a modern phenomenon. BBC newsreaders have started doing it. On MN it normally reads 'So I have wedding to go to next month'; 'So my husband is 10 years older than me and never washes up'. It drives both my husband and I crazy. Vented.

People in the gym’s changing room that take up a whole bench/wall of lockers spreading their personal belongings out. Said people can usually be found in a towel. It’s the gym, not your bedroom ffs

When some one says 'd'y know what?' Before the speak like every word is going to be life changing or something you have never heard or thought of before!

10 month old Ds raging and pushing himself tight towards the straps of his buggy/high chair as I’m trying to undo them. You can stay in there for another 2 minutes then

10 month old Ds saying ‘yeah’ after I’ve said no, then laughing

10 month old Ds thinking that biting me on the nose is an appropriate way of waking me up every fecking morning

10 month old DS thinking it’s oh so hilarious to wriggle, fidget and crawl away whilst I’m changing his nappy

He’s lucky that he’s so cute or he would have gone out the window a long time ago.

Two bbc radio news readers. When I hear them I actually switch the volume down now

One speaks as if every syllable is strangled and thinks that police is pronounced PALICE. The other sounds like she's just rolled out of bed after a very heavy night smoking and drinking. They make me unreasonably angry

'Dh scraping and scraping and scraping his cereal bowl every morning'

Dear god, this makes me murderous too. Scraping bowls, scraping plates, scraping fucking yogurt pots, trying to get every last molecule out and into his face. It sounds like he's trying to dig to Australia.

Making a sound like a hungry calf when drinking

Licking his knife

Having to run off five gallons of water before filling a glass

He's lovely, but food and drink noises drive me utterly batshit (misophonia) and he seems to be The King of Them All

Reading this thread reminded me of one at work that drives me mad, when a loo door is clearly locked but someone doesn’t look and just pulls the handle anyway. It makes me jump! Having a quiet wee and suddenly the handle gets yanked down. Just look first!

Another 2 before 9 o'clock...
The Amazonian woman who stands in front of the glass at the bus-stop every morning (stop is on a corner) forcing everyone else onto the footpath because they can't see through her. For the love of go woman sit down!
And grown adults using snap chat filters. It's not funny and cute, we all know you're just blurring out the wrinkles

Scissors that are sold in blister packs. You need a working pair of scissors to break through the packaging. But if I had working scissors I WOULDN'T BE BUYING NEW ONES! AAARRGH! Oh, and trying to get a plaster out of its wrap when you've cut your finger getting scissors out of the pack

Famalam instead of family. It's not even quicker? What's the point?!

People who stop at the foot of an escalator to decide where to go next, as if the universe will handily freeze or dissolve all the people behind them. It turns me from a mild-mannered normal person into a fury. I want to shove them out of the way with sharp elbows. Escalator rage.

@pickingdaisies - sorry but your post made me laugh.

So many people folding their partners' laundry and then getting upset when their partners fuck it up - I literally lob DH's clean clothes into the (admittedly small) clean clothes pile on his side of the room for him to do with whatever he pleases. Damned if I'm folding his underwear when he genuinely doesn't care.

Slow walkers make me want to die. I used to get terrible pram rage too, because I tended to walk faster with the pram (when there was just one infant inside - NOT the double buggy).

Leaving the house. 99% of the time I am a happy, balanced and serene person. Then we have to leave the house with the children and suddenly I turn into a HARPY OF RAGE.

When everyone in my house leaves the dining table after a meal and they leave the chairs out and don't place them back under the table.

If I manage to ask sweetly that they place their chairs back under the table, they either scrape them under by dragging the legs on the floor or bash them in with their hips.

I find myself silently screaming "LIFT and PLACE, LIFT and F*CKING PLACE"

I haven't read the full thread so apologise if this had been mentioned but people eating on TV makes me want to scream. I hate eating noises anyway (and sniffing, coughing, clicking, tapping, breathing etc) but the eating on TV is so annoying. It's bad enough on a reality show they can't really help this if they're having an interesting conversation while eating it's going to be shown (although surely it could be edited to reduce this noise?) but I do not understand why some programmes have their actors chew throughout their lines. So unnecessary and makes me want to smash my TV. I end up skipping through the scene and missing what happened rather than torture myself listening to it.

Ah, you've all just reminded me why I love living alone so much!

My irrational (only it's not) hatred is reserved for those drivers who drive up my arse and then, because I know the road and they don't, when I lift my foot to start to slow down for the '30' zone, shoot past me only to have to brake sharply when they see the 30 sign up the road.
FGS, I'm doing 60, get off my arse!

NomadicMother This drives me mad!
We have a specially positioned 'dumping chair' now for his clothes that just can't find their way to the wardrobe/drawers....which is everything, all the time.
Anything to avoid the 'walk-on wardrobe'/ 'floor-drobe' situation!

Add to that the fucking Magnum advert

Definitely shoes NEXT to the shoe rack.

You know what's given me the utter fucking bastard rage this morning? That after a 12 hour shift I'm getting settled to sleep and having a nose on MN and added my comments to this thread for my phone to LOSE the damned post.
Far more infuriating than anything else I wrote.
Bastard phone.
Bed time.
