What things make you irrationally angry? (Lighthearted)

Was washing my face this morning and that pissy little bit of water dripped down my arm and got my clothes wet, as it always bloody does. Got me thinking of how much it pisses me off every single day, but can’t seem to avoid it!
Other things that make me irrationally angry are stepping in something wet with socks on, sitting down with a cuppa and then realising I’ve forgotten to put sweetener in, and when the toast decides it wants to literally launch out of the toaster and land on the counter/floor Angry

What little things fill you with the rage of a thousand suns?

The fact that most toasters are too small for most bread slices.

So so many things make me irrationally angry.

  1. People who give way the wrong way at mini roundabouts.
  2. People who stop dead walking in front of you.
  3. When my dog has wet paws (obv not his fault haha)
  4. My bathroom sink - its black and has to be wiped down after every use or else theres watermarks everywhere.
  5. People in see-through leggings.

I'm sure there's lots more haha.

Dirty, dusty mirrors

Whenever I see “sexy” selfies I’m always mentally yelling “clean your fucking mirror!!!”

Especially if it’s in the bathroom and is toothpaste. Yeuch.

Whereisthecoffee · 05/09/2018 13:48

People who stand taking up supermarket aisles chatting .

Fucking Yahoo has made itself the default browser on my laptop and it keeps putting itself back there even though I have told it I want GOOGLE! AAAAAHHHHHH!

Blush thankyou for the opportunity to vent on your thread OP
UpstartCrow · 05/09/2018 13:49

Wasps. Why cant they just leave me alone? I'm not even that interesting to other people.

QuantumWeatherButterfly · 05/09/2018 14:00

Chewing gum. Too many people don't dispose of it responsibly. It's unsightly and unsanitary and downright disgusting. I would ban it tomorrow. And to the (sadly far few) chewers who use it for valid dental reasons and dispose of it properly - I'm sorry everyone else has spoiled it for you, but such is life..

LittleKitty1985 · 05/09/2018 14:05

When my computer at work freezes/crashes when I'm in the middle of something and running out of time! Arggghhhh!

Funnyface1 · 05/09/2018 14:05

People who spot each other and stop to chat at the entrance of supermarkets, blocking the door with their trolley/pram/army of children.

People who park inconsiderately.

Iooselipssinkships · 05/09/2018 14:10

Audi drivers.

Winchester89 · 05/09/2018 14:12

The way my husband stacks the dishwasher, Every. Fucking. Time.

iklboo · 05/09/2018 14:13

Opening food packets and it comes away in 45,000 little strips instead of all in one go.

MargoLovebutter · 05/09/2018 14:14

Toothpaste foam dribbling out of my mouth when I brush my teeth.

MargoLovebutter · 05/09/2018 14:15

The sticky "resealable" strips on food packaging (pasta, rice etc) that are either in the wrong place or lose their stick after one open and close.

MoreMilkshake · 05/09/2018 14:15

BAD MANNERED DRIVERS!!!! I.e. those who don't acknowledge or thank you for letting them out.

Or those who fail to let others out

Peachydream · 05/09/2018 14:19

The Man at the gym - His list of perceived crimes include:-

Changes/turns off the TV without asking then hides the remote .
Wearing a coat and scarf (in winter) to work out in.
Walks too slowly on the treadmill.
Spends a lot of time farting about with the floor fans.
Never wipes down the equipment.
Loudly clears phlem from his throat.
Parks his car across 2 spaces.

What he does hardly affects me & mostly IABU, but goodness he irritates me. I feel more guilty about the anger as his wife is lovely.

QueenOfMyWorld · 05/09/2018 14:20

People walking slowly in front of me Gin

DingDongDenny · 05/09/2018 14:20

People wearing rucksucks who don't seem to be aware they are wearing rucksacks and turn around and whack you with them

People who walk backwards when they are looking at the announcement board in train stations - then give you a dirty look when they walk into you

People who walk down the street, really slowly in a line and you can't get past them

Pissedoffdotcom · 05/09/2018 14:24

People who rev their stupid hairdryers mopeds down the road at midnight just because. It. Is. Not. Cool.

People who park their car that close to mine i have to climb over from the other side to get in. I. Hate. You.

People who stand in aisles/doorways/walkways chatting & completely ignore you when you try to squeeze past.

Jaxtellerswife · 05/09/2018 14:26

The sleeve of my dressing gown gets caught on everything I pass.

reallybadidea · 05/09/2018 14:29

My kids stepping on the back of my shoe while I'm walking in front of them. FIVE times it happened in one morning on holiday Angry

BitOutOfPractice · 05/09/2018 14:30

Coat hangers. Tangly bastards

MissClareRemembers · 05/09/2018 14:34

Catching your sleeve on door handles.
Forgetting to switch the dishwasher on and not discovering it till hours later.
