Speeding motorists.

Mumsnetters who offer stupid advice. Couldn't get my curtains to hang properly over the radiator beneath the window. Someone suggested moving the radiator. Or the time someone had expensive fitted furniture made and didn't know what to do with a quirky space. Someone suggested the newly fitted expensive bit of furniture should be removed.

Listening to anyone try to justify Brexit, especially logic of violating the WA most recently.

People bragging about how they will without hesitation report Covid-control violators.

Hearing Boris Johnson or Trump speak, or their minions justify their action.

People on MN who project their issues or hobby horses onto anyone else's situation. Give it a Rest.

Spitting
The parent that always stands at the front of the door at school pick up, and they're nearly always over 6 foot

Spitting The parent that always stands at the front of the door at school pick up, and they're nearly always over 6 foot
That made me think of the same 6ft bloke that stands at the front at puppet shows so none of the children can see past him

And the twat at festivals that sits on someone's shoulders.

Queuing up to pick up my dd from nursery when the bloody parents in front want to stand and have a chat with nursery staff at the door for 15 minutes ffs

Thecazelets · 14/09/2020 17:23

Male runners who spit just as they go past you. It's never, ever, women who do this.

People rustling sweet wrappers and crisp packets in the theatre or cinema. I am the one who looks round with an evil stare. Also people blinding everyone else with their phone screens once the lights have gone down.

Sadly few opportunities to be raging at the moment.

@redgin

Neighbours who insist on barbecueing/burning their food in their tiny gardens, driving us and our clean washing inside on a lovely summers day

Makes me cross just thinking about it.

Me too. I hate other people's smells nearly as much as other people's noise. Our neighbour has an enormous gas-powered number, placed hard up against the shared fence, and he likes to barbecue every day from March to October.

Very sad I know but when people on The Chase take the minus offer, really pisses me off. When they're deciding I'm sat there saying no, don't do it, don't you dare and then they do wtf 🤦‍♀️.

Very irrational I know and dh sits there looking at me like 😳

Bellway

Bought a Bellway house coming up 2 years ago and about to send them a letter before action because they are so fucking useless and their remedial works are almost worse than their initial shit show of a build

How strange, my Bellway home is perfect! I've been really impressed with it. Very sturdily built and not a single issue

Stupid people with no ability to critically think about situations (esp woke individuals)

Cruelty to children or animals

Whitney Houston’s “I will always love you” esp the chorus

U2HasTheEdge · 14/09/2020 18:14

People not flushing the chain after peeing.
Getting my sleeves wet.
Catching items of clothing on door handles.
People spitting on the floor.
Pushing in when you are in a queue.
Driving under 30 MPH in a 40 zone in good conditions.
People making noises when eating and drinking.
Nail biting.

My list is too long 😂

Although I’ve turned it down a notch because the HRT patch kicked in 😁

Injustice.

SerenDippitty · 14/09/2020 18:34

When tall people sit in front of me at the cinema or theatre. I’m 5ft 2.

tobee · 14/09/2020 19:05

(The triumvirate of Johnson-Trump-Putin and their cronies - I'm beyond angry really.)

Catching my earphone lead on the handle of my kitchen drawers, being yanked by them and the lead flying out. Angry

Chootchoot · 14/09/2020 21:43

The covid 'prefect' on the door of every bloody shop reiterating the same shite as if we'd never heard it before.

When I ask someone (eg my builder / dentist etc) to explain something and they just reply “don’t worry” instead of answering my question.

Winniewonka · 14/09/2020 23:41

Price labels/barcodes that are impossible to remove from the lovely gift you've bought for someone! The worst time was when I once bought an expensive lip balm in a beautiful container for a friend's birthday. The label underneath being almost as big as the container itself clung on for dear life, I ended up picking it off with my finger nail and it still left a grubby residue. I couldn't soak it boiling water or use any of the usual methods😬

StillMedusa · 15/09/2020 00:01

Catching my little toe on the bannister in the night when I go for a wee..rage and pain
Hitting my head when going into the alcove under the stairs
Catching my cardigan on kitchen cupboard handles...

And Dh does this wierd lip quiver when he's eating.. that makes me want to hit him with a blunt object. I'm menopausal...
