What things make you irrationally angry? (Lighthearted)

[Pettyspaghetti]

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

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

I've got another one!

The DC asking me stuff while I'm on the loo. They are not little children anymore, they are hulking great late teens and they are incapable of waiting to ask me the question once I'm out of the bathroom. I am non-compliant these days and refuse to hear while I'm in the loo. I'm hoping that by the time they've left home they may have got the message!

Rubbish next to the bin instead of actually in the bin.

Procrastinating my DD does that.

Me: What would you like for tea?
DD: I dunno.

Websites that tell you off and/or treat you like you're clearly an idiot. You have to enter a 10-digit password and, after every digit, it flashes up red with 'password incomplete' or similar. Does it expect you to have a single ten-character key on your keyboard to enable you to enter the password in one go? 1. What are the chances? & 2. If you DID, it wouldn't be a very secure password, now, would it?

The people at my local supermarket who have taken to leaving their trolleys at the end of the aisle, and wandering up and down picking out their items. They then return to their trolleys with their arms full, dump the items in and move their trolleys to the next aisle and do the same.

They still have to walk up and down each aisle. Their trolleys are in the way - as you come around the top or bottom of the aisle, there can be 3 or 4 trolleys left there that then have to be negotiated.

Just walk up one aisle and down the next with your trolley, like all the rest of the sensible, non-annoying shoppers!

100% irrational, this one, but TV announcers who crash the start of the introduction to a programme with info about a later one. Once the ident picture/jingle has started, I want to hear "Now on BBC1......" NOT "Well, in half an hour, we're back to Coronation Street and then, later, we have the unmissable highlights from today's big match. Now, though, it's time for...." All of the channels do it. BBC4 WAS the exception, but now they're just like the others. Have as many trailers as you like beforehand (but not for the programme that's about to start and we're already waiting for, please); but once the ident is on the screen, it's time for MY programme and I don't care about other programmes for now.

Also, Channel 4 routinely starting programmes two minutes early. You're a commercial channel - it's not time for the programme yet, so shove in another of those adverts that actually pay to keep you on air!"

People - and the very shops that actually sell them - referring to 'a panini'. If you're going to start using a foreign word when we already have a perfectly good one in English - 'toastie' - then at least use it appropriately depending on whether its singular or plural. Asking for 'a panini' is exactly the same as asking for 'a sandwiches'.

In fact, any foreign or non-standard English plural being used as a singular. A phenomena, a candelabra, the data shows that, etc.

any foreign or non-standard English plural being used as a singular

Or vice versa, obviously, in the case of 'data'.

No, I was right the first time!!

I'd better add 'me' to the list of things that irrationally annoy me

The DC asking me stuff while I'm on the loo.

And then screwing up their faces before exclaiming "Eeeeuuurrrrggghhh, it stinks in here!!!" Well, yes - you know what people use this room for and yet you still chose to come in when somebody was doing just that. What exactly were you expecting, pray, tell? Vanilla with subtle delicate tones of lemongrass?

That's exactly what my shit smells like WeBuilt.

OMG @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius those fucking SONGS! I thought it was just me. Lloyds has a hideous version of a 90s dance classic at the moment done in the slowed down breathy manner

Stupid threads on posts

And unnecessary swearing by illiterate posters

Is necessary swearing from literate posters OK, @lynmilne65?

why are you so angry with people?

headinhands because people are fuckwits? Because they are infuriating? I genuinely hate most people, if I won the lottery i would buy a huge plot of land & put huge gates around it. The only people who would be allowed in would be the few who don't irritate the shit out of me & any dog owners dropping off/picking up to the kennels that i would build. Everybody else could go hang.

[Assume this is a long list of copied angries from pp]

Plus...

• That annoying expectant look you get from complete stranger parents when they are waiting for you to admire whatever non-thing their child has just done. Couldn't give a flying fuck, mate.

• The way my washing line is about 2" to short to hang my duvet cover on unfolded. That little folded bit really gets on my tits every time.

• Boden. All of it. Just the twee name is enough to set me off. And Seasalt with the fucking hideous shoes.

• The way biros suddenly stop writing mid-word and only work again once you have scribbled them on a different bit of the page.

I could go on for years....

People at work who press for the lift once the doors are closing, esp when they start to close then another fucker presses the button again.
Then, it really pisses me off when they get out on the first floor.
In my head it is totally reasonable to use the lift, but by hell the rage

@Hecksonaplane will you join me in my plan for people who repeatedly press lift or road crossing buttons, as if it makes them work faster?

The plan is to invent buttons that will cancel the request if pushed more than once for the same action. And if jabbed repeatedly, will add in a further delay.

Haha yes @shotsfired (love the username btw) good plan, then I could just stand back all smug like til the penny drops (I'm sure there would be no rage when I'm feeling smug!)

I always think a cattle prod would help me but I have form for taking things a bit far!

Excellent.

We will also invent cattle prods disguised as selfie sticks. So we can be grinning smugly and nobody will suspect a thing.

conformists
a holdover from a blog i was reading earlier ,about making children conform.
good thing all the artists,musicians,doctors,writers,computer techs,scientists,civil rights movers and shakers etc.were not conformists, or we would still be living in caves with no music, art ,,medical advances,computers,electricity,indoor plumbing.....

I was telling my daughter this morning how irrationally angry I felt at the sight of someone walking along smiling to themselves. Not st someone, or at a phone etc ...just that head up smirky smile ..aaarghh .. I felt small and evil trying to explain it

I was going to start a thread like this the other day! People who drop doors closed in your face
