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?

My totally unreasonable hateful “Henry”
The way the little bastard won’t turn a corner, and when his stupid little plug pulls himself out of the socket. I detest the little f*er.

When i turn over in bed and a big clump of my hair drops across my face.

The person sat on the bus with their bag on the seat next to them when there are half a dozen people standing in the aisle because all the seats are taken. Angry

Large groups of tourists / language students who stop or gather somewhere and block the entire pavement so people have to walk into the road to get past. Angry

People who walk towards you on the pavement texting on/staring at their mobile phones and expect you to get out of their way although it's them who is weaving unpredictably all over the place due to not looking where they are going. Angry

Self service checkout machines with their "unexpected item in the bagging area" quirks. :) Angry

Printers. Product of the devil, they have a built in critical printout detector that causes them to malfunction with a severity that increases according to the importance of the document.

Vegans.

People who don't put their trollies back properly at the supermarket. Thankfully most here need a pound coin or token so people put them back as they should. Tesco however just have "free" trolleys and omg the rage I get when I shop there. HOW IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO WHEEL YOUR TROLLEY INTO THE BACK OF THE ONE IN FRONT!!!!!

People who read messages (that clearly need a response) and dont bother replying. Why can't they take the 5 seconds to reply?!

Getting wet feet when wearing socks.

People eating smelly foods in my very small office. Fish seems to be the main offender.

People stopping in the middle of an aisle or by the door to chat, in groups. Move to the side!

shirleyschmidt · 05/09/2018 19:16

Omg too many things.

Driving in general. Namely people who dawdle unnecessarily and cause me to miss lights etc. Cyclists who ride 2 abreast so you can't overtake. People who don't acknowledge you for giving way.

Biting my own cheek or tongue.

Hair blowing into my lipgloss.

Missing the bin if I go to put something in it and having to bend down and put my nose near the bin 😂

Clothing getting caught on door handles or car handbrake

I get wound up too easily! And that won't be all of it 🙈

CSIblonde · 05/09/2018 19:17

Selfies. Pointless. You look the same in every one: it's boring. And Im not bothered what your meal looks like.

Repeating back to me, v v slowly, in a dazed tone, every single thing I say when I don't waffle & am crystal clear. That's why I email now. I'm not spending a painful 15mins on what should take 5mins max anymore.

Skittlesandbeer · 05/09/2018 19:19

When you wash duvet covers and fitted sheets and they trap smaller items inside them. You lift them to hang outdoors, and 3 knickers inevitably fall out onto the dirty ground.

Hmmm anything else? Why yes, the preferred (inefficient) techniques my DH employs for almost any household chore.

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 05/09/2018 19:25

People who PARK in the Drop off and collect area outside Tesco.
Don't know why it gives me the rage - they are no more in my way than those who are using the bay properly so dropping off or collecting, and they're not parking in my preferred spot as I have no intention of parking there (cos I'm not a twat)

iklboo · 05/09/2018 19:29

Won't work with fitted sheets but I always fasten duvet covers back up again before putting them in the wash so there's no stowaway knickers.

Iamtheoneandonly2018 · 05/09/2018 19:29

People who nearly take your wing mirror off because there is traffic parked on one side of the road. Just wait - I was halfway down the road and would've passed you in 5 more seconds.
People who park in the bus turnaround near me so busses can't get in, consequently causing tailbacks down my road
People who go through red lights especially temporary ones, so that less cars waiting at the other end can get through on their turn

When you let ONE person in your lane and another pushes in. Cheeky b tards!
People taking more room to park than they need to do at the side of the road - there was room for 12 cars where we went thus weekend, but, because of the way some had parked, there was only room for 8

mavismcruet · 05/09/2018 19:29

Smokers who stub out their cigarettes on the beach and just leave them in the sand. I live by the beach and my kids play there lots. There is never a day when I don’t have to move feckin’ fag butts out of the sand they are playing in. It makes me so ragey!!! We live in a beautiful place, presumably the smokers are sitting on the beach because it’s a beautiful place. So why leave your disgusting fag butts right there??? Do they just leave them in their garden or living room when they have smoked them? No, I think not. Because that would be disgusting!!!

I’m off to blow into a paper bag to calm down...(you don’t want me to get started on dog poo!!!)

Iamtheoneandonly2018 · 05/09/2018 19:35

Mavis my neighbours chuck their fag ends over the fence into my drive.

They get chucked back

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 05/09/2018 19:36

Our village has limited free on street parking, in continuous bays, ie not subdivided into individual bays.
But eejits park 2 cars widely spaced out and 4 feet from the end of the bay, when if they parked properly, there is ample room for 3 cars

mavismcruet · 05/09/2018 19:39

Iamtheoneandonly2018 I’m raging for you! That’s really foul Angry

Scabetty · 05/09/2018 19:45

Kids repeatedly tapping me on the arm to get my attention when I am talking to someone else boils my piss. These aren’t my kids btw.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 05/09/2018 19:49

That ridiculous advert for Bud Light with all the faux Olde Worlde “Dilly dilly” nonsense. Fuck the fuck off with your stupid historical inaccuracies.

The current trend for covering perfectly decent songs by slowing them right down and slurring them. I can’t remember which song it is (I have blanked it from my mind) but the song used as the soundtrack for a Barnardo’s advert is a perfect example of this crime against music, and makes me want to rip my ears off every time I hear it.

nicebitofquiche · 05/09/2018 19:51

Heating a microwave meal up then trying to peel the cellophane film off. It never ever comes off in one bit and you end up having to cut it off round the edges with steam burning your fingers. Arrghhhhhh.

Pissedoffdotcom · 05/09/2018 19:52

that ridiculous advert for Bud Light
Dp has taken to saying 'dilly dilly' because he knows it fucks me off he is lucky to still have a head i swear

People at gigs and other events watched by crowds who insist on filming the entire thing or large portions of it on their mobile phone.
I really doubt that you or anyone else is ever going to watch that crappy shaky long video with appalling sound quality and by holding your phone up in the air you are blocking peoples view. Why not just put your phone away and enjoy the moment?

Also people at gigs who talk loudly through the whole gig - I came here to listen to the music not your banal conversation.

People who go somewhere picturesque to have a picnic lunch/meal or whatever and then just leave all their rubbish behind for someone else to pick up. I presume you went there because it was a nice place and then you made it a less nice place for everyone else because you were too lazy to take your trash away.

Babyroobs · 05/09/2018 19:55

Checkout assistants holding the queue up having long conversations with people that are nothing to do with their purchases, people spitting in the street, next doors kids constantly screaming in the garden.

watsmyname · 05/09/2018 19:56

People breathing and eating loudly

The stepping in something wet when wearing socks.

Shit drivers

My DD’s hair braided that she was given for her birthday. Solving a problem that never existed in the first place and making it ridiculously complicated Angry
