Come and be irrationally irritated alongside me and tell me why you're overreacting

[MrsMaryMystery]

Tell me your stories of being irrationally irritated.
I have the irrational rage (IR) because I weighed a parcel twice on a good scales which I tested with a tin of beans, and the parcel came in at under 500g. I stuck some stamps on it, rounding up as I only have 1st class.

I checked out the price on the royal mail get a price website. It's going to Germany so came up as requiring 12 stamps.
Sent child and his grandma on a lovely walk to the Post office. They came back and told me the weight was wrong - in fact it was twice what I thought it was so they had to pay more.

Why has this given me such a rage? I went down the post office to ask them nicely to weigh it for me to see, but alas, it's been picked up. I know that my weight was correct because of what was in the parcel, and the package was a standard cardboard box. Not a 500g box. Just a box. Maybe the sellotape was lead lined 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Soothe me with similar stories of minor woe!

My internet got cut off when I was in the middle of watching something on iPlayer which was irritating enough, when I called my IP to get it sorted and they sent me a text with a link for an speed test which required an internet connection. FFS

I feel husband rage again today cos he's hurt his wrist (accidentally, not rage-inducing) but refuses to take any pain killers and would apparently prefer to mope about, holding it like an injured puppy and sigh dramatically every 60 seconds. I might slip some soluble ibuprofen into his tea.

Most of these are understandable reasons to get the rage.
I have irrational rage because whe DS loaded the dishwasher yesterday he put a sharp knife blade up in the cutlery tray, then when I went to put something else in I didn’t see it and it jabbed right into the side of the middle finger on my right hand. Now I have a deep cut that keeps on bleeding unless I put a plaster on, and I hate putting plasters on my fingers because they impede my movement. Even typing this is a fucking pain because I can’t bend my finger.

I also need to unload the dishwasher and reload it, and I have nothing in for tea, and I just can’t be arsed to do anything because I’m depressed and pissed off.

DP is being productive while I’m sat on my arse. This is making me feel very guilty and like I should also be hoovering

I think I've just had a moment of IR - have just started another post on here regarding destroying the planet ....

YouTube exercise hiit workouts where they dont explain the next move in the breather bit, or when there is no audible noise ir indication to show that set is now done unless you are watching it which you fucking cant if it involves exercises where your whole body is on the floor. And the ones that don't explain they are doing split moves until its too late. No Fitness Guru Carol. I dont want to do burpee squats.because they hurt my back changing position too much and what's wrong with focusing on one thing at once?

The dog that lives behind me that screams everytime its out even for just a minute. Its a fucking wanker aaaaaaaaaeeeeeooooooo x 50 at 7am is just too much for anyone and I am the biggest dog lover I know.

Cleaning the bath. It is cheap shit and a bastard to clean and it never looks clean

Call centres that make you listen to endless twaddle before saying they can't deal with you and cutting you off. There is a special place in hell for them

Wow - I really am very angry today

I have the IR because my husband recently obtained a CPAP machine and now has so much more energy and is being irritatingly perky. I on the other hand have a cold and have spent a lot of time in hospital in the last month with various ailments and I want him to JUST BE QUIET. Utterly irrational as it's lovely that he's feeling better.

My period arrived this morning and has ruined my mood and ruined my run for the day (I did go but just felt rubbish and didn't get on well)
Jealous of men today.

I'm also cross cos Ocado brought us some free chocolate but it's salted chocolate. I don't understand salted sweet things, if I want something salty I'll have some peanuts or crisps. I really want some chocolate and the only thing we have other than the salted madness is an Easter egg which I can't break into so every time I open the cupboard in the hope a chocolate fairy will have been that bar is just sitting laughing at me.

Also when mumsnet breaks and you cant read about everyone elses anger

Me “Making you a bacon and egg sandwich”
Him “ make sure the egg isn't runny”
What he should have said “ oh that will be nice, please could I have my egg well done”
Needless to say the egg was as far from being runny as was possible without setting the pan on fire. Hope he enjoyed his last ever bacon butty.

IR gave me an injury today so be careful. My thumb is black and blue because I got annoyed with the hoover tube as it kept twisting so I pulled it hard and it sent the whole thing down, bending my thumb right back.
It wasn’t my hoover, my stairs or even my house! I was doing DD a favour because the lettings agent was coming to take photos - she should have already moved out but the sellers of her new house have moved completion dates yet again 🙄

If he's acting like an injured puppy, hold his nose and pour it down his throat!

I was angry at the moon being too bright when I was trying to watch a film.

This is a job for a chippy tea.

These are good ones.

Burpees are very evil and are used by PE teachers to humiliate adolescents.
I couldn't cope with the dog :-(
And yes to call centres. Mat allowance hotline today: bla bla bla, if you still want to speak to us press 1. bla bla bla if you still want to speak to us press 2 bla bla bla if you still want to speak to us press 8. bla bla bla if you're still alive, clap your hands.
My doctor's surgery does this. Ten minutes of blabla drivel before you get the receptionist, by which time you've bled to death.
Victor Meldrew had it nailed when he used to put the phone under a cushion when people started to blather.

Amen, sister.

My baby keeps rooting and then refuses to breastfeed or drink formula, leaving a trail of dirty bottles and nipple shields in his wake and meaning I can't put him down for more than 5 minutes. I'm sure it's just a phase, but everything is and this is starting to do my head in.

@Knitterbabe Whatever task I’m doing, DH suggests a different tool, or a better method

Oh dear God, so does mine. Considering we’re currently digging out foundations for a new patio, one would imagine that he would keep stumm with his ideas!

When he gives me a large cereal bowl 😡

Something has gone wrong with our boiler and the plumber gave us a quote, when I checked my savings it was only £10 over what we needed. The savings are money we saved commuting this year so I should be happy cause we shouldn’t have this money. Except I am IR because it feels like the boiler did it on purpose. And cause we can never save money.

I think your boiler did do it on purpose. Boilers are like that :-(

Boilers are bastards

oh this was just the entertainment I needed so thank you fellow IRs

I am in the process of divorcing 'D'H so frankly him merely breathing near me right now is giving me IR
