I’m so irritated!

[LellowYedbetter]

I’m so cross. I don’t know why I’m angry, I just am.
When you’re in an irritable mood, what stupid things have made you burn up inside?

I’ve just been flicking through Instagram. Why the fuck do women do a claw hand to show off new nails? Just put the hand flat and take a picture of the bastards if you really must. The claw hand makes me so mad. It’s so ugly!!
Duck faces. Why do women (and sometimes blokes!) pull a “blow up doll” face for the camera? I’m not taking about the original duck face, I’m taking about the slightly opened mouth version that literally resembles a blow up doll. It’s horrendous and the opposite of attractive.

What sets you off if you’re already close to the edge?

I was sitting next to a lady yesterday who was stroking the bare arm of her approx 5 year old daughter.
There's a woman who occasionally brings her son to church and sits a couple of pews in front of me. She'll sit there stroking his hair over and over (he must be around 7?) and it takes all my patience to not climb over the back of the pew between us and slap her sodding hand! (I spend most of the service apologising to God for my un-Christian-like attitude!) So grateful she rarely turns up.

posters on MN who use the word 'reader'. As in reader, I married him. Makes me want to smash the keyboard. It's so irritating - who else is it going to be aimed at but the reader. Stop it!!

My dh. He's got a cough and it's driving me fucking insane. It's so loud! There's no need for the volume! He's been sleeping downstairs but it's so loud he's still keeping me up all night.

Snapchat selfies. Just fuck off already.

Idiot drivers who don't use indicators and truck drivers who pull out on roundabouts when I have right of way - you can't get any speed up so just wait! I manage to break on time but who's to say the person behind me will?

Reality tv, except come dine with me...

I stroke my dc.

Bigonesmallone3 haha yup!

My mum saying, "I'm in agony" whenever she has any kind of pain. I want to scream that AGONY IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE WORD FOR ANY LEVEL OF PAIN but that would make me an utter cunt so I just rage inside.

Or truck drivers who purposley speed up as you are coming off the slip road onto a motorway so you have to slam the breaks on and almost stop. So many male driver have a serious problem with woman. In all the time I've been driving I have never had a run in with a woman, men on the other hand are purposely twatty on the roads. The biggest culprits men approximately 35 to 50 years old, driving trucks and vans.

My mum strokes her own leg like that 😝 gives me the rage! I don’t know why but I get irrationally angry when she does it. She’s lovely though so I daren’t say anything, so I just keep simmering away with rage and try not to look.

People who post messages to their OH, DH, DP or children when they're spending the day together. Yesterday Facebook was full of "happy Valentine's Day to the best DH & daddy in the world" followed by a few pictures of flowers and a selfie of them together. Why? You're obviously spending the day/evening together. Why post it in Facebook, just say happy Valentine's Day to them in person. Same goes for anniversaries & birthdays. You're in the same room, ffs communicate like a normal person. Do theses people post it on Facebook and then say to their DH "I've just written you a message on FB, open your app to see what I said?" No, they're just idiots

People in customer service who say 'I can only apologise'

Well that's just a slightly more polite 'I'm not going to do anything else so you may as well fuck off' isn't it.

The claw hand makes me feel queasy.

Kids being in my space past 8pm. Just bugger off upstairs!

Pretty much every driver on the road! I had a long drive today for work and spent the entire journey making a mental list in my head of all the STUPID INCONSIDERATE DANGEROUS things other drivers were doing! I of course am a perfect driver

I fucking hate this kid at schools mum. She makes him do 1 and a half hours of revision on top of homework and I am appalled at how she doesn't let him go out after dark which means that my ds14 can't go out with his friend because by the time he has finished his revision he can't fucking leave the house because he is busy doing his fucking homework. And I feel like my son is really annoyed about the fact he cant hang out with his fucking friend and it drives me insane.

To those with kids in the 'why' phase - just answer them with a question. Fire it right back at them. That stops them after a short while.

I work with a child who would say 'why' even if nothing at all had been said. I'd say back 'I don't know. Why do you think?' They only ask actual, considered questions now which I happily answer.

'can I have' irritates me immensely!

On a more current note, the fucking WhatsApp group with ILs - shut the fuck up and go to bed! Stop blowing up my phone with pictures of your child eating - they do that everyday, I really do not need to see that, and also piss off with your shitty 'jokes' about me and DP. They aren't funny and are precisely the reason you are not welcome at my wedding.

(I have now muted the chat for how ever long the longest amount of time is allowed!)

Working in Kindy it really annoys me when the children tell tales. He's looking at me, I wanted that car, I neeeeeeeed that toy.... by Friday afternoon I can't take it anymore! Just bloody figure it out and stop complaining. Always the same couple of children too, my heart sinks when I hear 'Miissssssss'

My kids saying mum repeatedly... I've just started to respond with 'what' in a sharp tone and if not a sharp tone a terrified tone.

School run fuckers gathering around for a chat on the Corner of the road, blocking the path for everyone, puffing on their vapes and fags,leaving their babies in the car why they do it... what could possibly be so pressing that you need to gather for a Fucking chat Every morning of the week and every afternoon??? Take the baby home ffs

*while not why

selfies, selfies and more selfies, selfies with filters and the selfies where you can add makeup to the selfie instead of having it on in the first place. Big doe eyed selfies, fish pout ones, rabbit eared ones, that pose that people do to look slimmer etc. etc... and then you see a photo of 'selfie obsessed' person, taken by someone else in a natural setting and uploaded and tagged without the opportunity to edit and filter and they are inevitably 30 pounds heavier, seriously average looking and you wonder, do these people think they only have to live their lives online. Do they think they will never be caught out. And why is everyone so self-obsessed - taking endless photos of yourself... Jesus, is life that empty, phew... got that off my chest.

People eating loudly or breathing loudly whilst eating. Actually, just people that can’t eat properly all together.
When my partner snores like such a twat he manages to wake himself up.

Giving up smoking. Well impressed and well fucked off.

STUPID keyboard at work that will not work. I have to bash the return key to make the thing work and even then it doesn't!!! Then get told I'm a distraction and then get snapped at for everything. Tried explaining and either they don't believe me or don't understand. Asked for new keyboard. Not holding breath.

What is their game? You can get new keyboards for a fiver or so. Is it one of these bizarre companies that will happily sign off the purchase of expensive new technology assets at a stroke, but demand that you return your current biro and demonstrate its inkless scraping on a piece of paper before they'll authorise you to have a new one?

Some MN users.

First world problems...

Everyone always ringing our flat when they're actually here to see someone in one of the other five flats.

dudsville I told a pair of socks which had the audacity to roll under the sofa to fuck off today, and lost it at a mattress protector which just wouldn't play ball. I'm so glad it's not just me!
