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?

Sandwiches with too much filling in

People who drag four wheeled suitcases on two wheels give me the absolute rage. It has no impact on me whatsoever but I can’t help being infuriated when I see people butchering such a genius design.

When I forget to charge my bloody toothbrush! No plug in bathroom, have to use the charger with an adapter in the bedroom. It’s so annoying because it’s entirely my fault and it’s so easy to do!

Pettyspaghetti · 05/09/2018 16:48

These are brilliant!
Completely agree with the wasp one, I can feel myself getting more and more angry when the tiny demons fly towards me (they have no purpose at all!)

When my eyes water and leave a silly splodge next to my eye.

When bits of hair stick to your face while you’re washing it, drives me batshit!

Smiggle. I get angry and ragey at the mention. Overprice feckin' tat.

I second Yahoo making itself my default search engine. Fuck yahoo, also fucking microsoft trying to make BING a thing.

Just stop. Bing will never be a thing.

People who park RIGHT next to me in a car park, even though there are at least 10+ empty spaces around me. Why????

eniledam · 05/09/2018 16:58

I can't describe the rage I feel when drivers don't bother indicating. Especially when I'm walking across an adjacent street, and a driver suddenly swings right and nearly hits me (without indicating that they were turning). I WOULD HAVE STOPPED AND WAITED IF YOU'D BOTHERED TO TURN YOUR INDICATOR ON SO I WOULD KNOW WHERE YOU WERE GOING.

PavlovianLunge · 05/09/2018 16:59

People who get off an escalator or out of a lift, and stop dead while they try to work out where they want to go next. Angry

eniledam · 05/09/2018 17:04

Oh, and don't get me started on people who correct other people's grammar online and then spell something wrong in their reply.

White-hot rage.

Witnessed this on Twitter a few days ago. Someone responding to a tweet they didn't agree with: "If I were you I'd learn English and some decent grammer before you spout off."

Hyperbolesoul · 05/09/2018 17:06

People standing super close behind me in queues.... like, piggy back close Angry

Pashazade · 05/09/2018 17:08

Oh yes failure to indicate arrrgh. It's not difficult people! @paxillin Russell Hobbs toaster is amazing fits everything!!

@thurmanmerman
I don't know if this will be of use but it might be worth a try if you haven't already.

Coats that waterproof but are only hip or thigh length - why would I forsake my legs? Why would I not mind walking around at work with a dry top have a dripping wet lower half? (I have a maxi length coat now thank you very much).

thurmanmerman · 05/09/2018 17:13

Thankyou @DrPeppersPhD I will give it a try!

When my DH finishes the toilet roll but doesn't replace it. Just leaves the empty roll on the holder (the bathroom bin is literally RIGHT NEXT to it) than puts a brand new roll on top of the toilet. How hard is it to move the new one into the right place and bin the empty one?!

anitagreen · 05/09/2018 17:19

I'm so sorry reading this has really made me laugh because 90% of these things irritate me but when reading they bother other people I can't help but laugh. Especially the rucksacks thing I've seen a very thing woman nearly knocked into the air before by one bless her she was fine Wink

eniledam · 05/09/2018 17:21

Another thing that fills me with irrational rage: when my DH finishes a packet of something in the cupboard, but leaves the empty packaging in there rather than binning it. He does this with everything: cartons of cereal bars, bottles of squash and milk, packets of cereal!!

Willow2017 · 05/09/2018 17:27

Most of the above .
Also mini roundabout users who think they dont actually have to go round them.. like today dome idiot slammed his indicator on at the last minute just as i started across a mini roundabout then tried to cut across it. Erm i am already here you prattt!
Idiots who have dipped lights unrul they get within 3 feet of you then put them on full beam. You really need your depth perception checked you freaks.

Aquamarine1029 · 05/09/2018 17:28

Ordering a prawn pasta dish in a restaurant and they leave the tail shell on. They are covered in sauce and you have to faff about trying to get the meat out of the shell without getting sauce all over you. Makes me fucking mental.

anitagreen · 05/09/2018 17:45

Ah topsy and turd that's another thing that pisses me off with the sad storylines and upbeat parents fuck off Angry

anitagreen · 05/09/2018 17:45

Tim sorry Blush

Note taken, thanks, @Pashazade. I did think about going to John Lewis armed with a ruler or a slice of bread Grin.
