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?

When people turn their back on you, effectively excluding you from a group conversation.

Actually there's nothing irrational about getting angry at that but the sheer depth of the rage which it provokes is most definitely disproportionate.

Plastic packaging on every bloody thing... Amazon packing a perfectly PPs table cardboard box INSIDE another cardboard box with a load of scrunched up brown paper which all needs to be recycled.
I feel like whenever I buy something I end up throwing half the material that arrives in the bin coz it's so overpackaged.

It would take less time for me to list the things that don’t make me irrationally angry.

The placing of the self-scan cradle thingy on Sainsbury's trolley's which means I can't place my hands on the handle evenly - pisses me off about twice a week!!

Drivers who don't indicate on/off roundabouts correctly.

DS's nose blowing.

Stubbing my toe/papercut/banging into door frame type accidents.

Dawdlers.

Light switches that end up the 'wrong' way round for on/off position because they can be controlled from more than one place. Such as hallway/landing lights.

forgetting I had a hot cup of tea and finding it when it's tepid.

”Dp has taken to saying 'dilly dilly' because he knows it fucks me off he is lucky to still have a head i swear”

You have superhuman patience, @Pissedoffdotcom! If you snap, I will help you hide the body, and provide you with an alibi, I promise.

Knots in necklaces.
Trying to pick things up off the floor and failing several times.

My cat and everything she does.

People who cross the road at a fucking angle when everyone else is going in a straight line, so they are constantly just in front of you and all the normal people crossing in the usual manner, so you have to stop for a moment IN THE ROAD to let them get out of your way. A whole family did this today, leaving me unable to get to the kerb before the traffic approached. Twats.
Also:
Rucksacks
People stopping at the bottom of escalators
People walking while reading and texting. I swear one day one of you will go under a bus and I will laugh. LAUGH, I tell you!

LadyOfTheCanyon · 05/09/2018 20:43

Customers who say "Can you help me?" and when I stop what I'm doing and approach them and say " How can I help?" they say " I don't know."

MoreMilkshake · 05/09/2018 20:44

@stubbornstains then you try to change your password to the one you always use and you get

"Sorry, you can't use a password you have already used" 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

Pebblespony · 05/09/2018 20:47

My husband commenting on my driving. THE FUCKING RAGE CONSUMES ME.

bananafish81 · 05/09/2018 20:49

When you buy a pair of scissors that comes wrapped in plastic packaging - that's impossible to get into without a pair of scissors

fattyboomboomboom · 05/09/2018 20:53

People who say gunnu when what they MEAN is going to.......rarrrrgh Angry

Whalebird · 05/09/2018 20:53

Shit clothes pegs. I bought some by accident and they just kept falling apart. I was disproportionately angry.

BlueJava · 05/09/2018 20:53

People who tap, tap, tap away on their phones, head down... whilst walking down busy streets, on station platforms or infront of me at the tube station. Get through the turnstile and move away, don't stand there telling your friend about the night before on whatsapp. Rant over.

Whalebird · 05/09/2018 20:53

pebbles that's major, not minor!

AiryFairy1 · 05/09/2018 20:59

Soooo many things, but today’s winner was people stalking me in every shop I went into... I just want to stop and look at something without someone breathing down my neck! Leave me the frack alone on my first child-free morning for 7 weeks 😤

People using the rubber on my pencil rather than using my separate rubber.

mooncuplanding · 05/09/2018 21:04

Fucking packaging that requires a fucking Stanley knife to get open

Actually just packaging in general

Fuck me, the ones that require a fucking screwdriver to get them off. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea? A wanker, that’s who

mooncuplanding · 05/09/2018 21:06

Has anyone tried to set a new Apple ID password recently?

Fucking. Hell

Don’t enter this new hell

CaptainCabinets · 05/09/2018 21:11

Fuck me, I was just about to post a thread with an almost identical title when I saw this one! Very woo

When people say ‘sneak peak’ or ‘sneek peek’ when they actually mean ‘sneak peek’.

When people say they were ‘rushed to hospital’ when 9 times out of ten they were driven there at a reasonable speed by a non-emergency vehicle.

When people say ‘myself’ when they mean ‘me’, or ‘yourself’ when they mean ‘you’.

I think there’s a theme here Blush
