Things that make you irrationally mad

[DontGetIt1]

I'll go first... Why is herbal essences shampoo is so flipping hard to get out of the bottle!

Burning my tongue on hot tea
Catching sleeves on handles
Anyone giving me a fright
Paper cuts

People who move closer to me in a supermarket queue, as if that will make the checkout person go faster. Also, the neurotic placing of supermarket dividers even when there are big gaps between peoples food.

Ugh, yes. Having to use an app for car parking.
My mum parked somewhere recently and her phone was dead. Left a handwritten note on her dash saying that it was disgusting that you can only park if you have a smartphone and data/signal.

Or a microwave dinner where you peel the film off from one corner.. except you just peel a little bit round the edge instead.

1. upside down mugs in the dishwasher that collect water in/on their base. So 😡
2. nannies in my neighbourhood who walk three abreast on the pavement with their buggies, chatting away, using their buggies as battering rams 😡
3. men, walking down the road, expecting you to get out of their way 😡
4. people walking dogs on not especially long leashes, allowing their dogs to come right at you so that YOU have to make space on the pavement for their fucking DOG 🤬
5. my SILs 🤬🤬🤬
6. food shopping being delivered at exactly the point in the 2hr delivery slot that I sit down for dinner or with a cup of tea, no matter what time slot I choose 😡
7. stupid fucking tabloid “news” 😡😡

There are more. Those are my top 7 this week

Ha ha @CloudPine try putting the divider lengthways instead of width ways. People really can't stand it!!

signing emails with simply

Best,

I hate it. Best what? Regards / wishes etc? It's incomplete and complete offhand offish cold corporate bullshit.

People who don't indicate which way they are going on a crossroads so other drivers have to be psychic and pedestrians have to play chicken 🤬

That some people on MN are unbelievably judgemental about almost anything other people like/do but they don’t themselves. It’s a very undesirable and unattractive trait.

I hesitate to add this one because I love my library, I really do, but how can they take SO LONG to stamp the books. If they have to add a new label I feel like crying. Post office is similar.

People who stand too close to me in a queue.

My size 8 friend (who is gorgeous inside and out and I love her to bits), who moans how grotesquely fat she is, yet posts selfies on SM every day…she is hot to be fair. But NOT fat!!

9/10 I will do food shopping online, but when i used to do instore shopping, there was always the odd occasion where someone would start piling their shopping on before I’d finished loading mine. Where is the fucking logic in that?!??

my biggest issue is that all life admin is left to me…truly makes me irrationally mad!!

People who tend to pull out of a junction at 10mph whilst you are doing 40 and have to slam on the brakes, then sit behind them whilst they decide to up their speed to usually 20mph.

People who stick up for spiders by saying 'But they eat flies', when every year there is a massive fly invasion.

Microwave meals where you have to take it out halfway through, stir, then put it back in. I bought it so I could whack it in and do nothing! Argh

Cleaning my floors and then people coming in with shoes on

No room for dishwasher so the sink will be perfect and then someone will have a drink and that one bloody cup with ruin the aesthetic

The fact I can't lock my door using just one hand. Has to be two as one hand has to hold the handle up. Annoying if you have a child in your arms or shopping

That bit at the till when you've paid, but you want to put your card back into your purse. But the cashier is looking very much like she's trying to serve the next customer, and you're in the way

Thankfully not as common a problem thanks to Apple Pay 💰

Re the microwave meal thing, it’s just to ensure even distribution of heat throughout the dish. If you nuke it for the total amount of time, then make sure you leave it to stand for a minute or so, then take the lid off and stir, it will be absolutely fine. No need to stir half way through

People who start replies with "Gently,..." Urgh. I don't know why but it annoys me so much.

People walking very slowly in the middle of the pavement so you can’t get past. Even worse slow couples holding hands blocking the entire pavement! I’m happy you are enjoying your romantic slow walk and have all the time in the world but some of us need to get places !

Traffic lights turning to red as you’re about to go through. I’m an “Amber gambler” sometimes though.

OMG yes. I get huge frights and folk in work do it for laughs. DH can walk in the kitchen, say 'Darling?' on his normal voice and I jump out of my skin! FFS!

Microwave meals where you have to take it out halfway through, stir, then put it back in. I bought it so I could whack it in and do nothing! Argh

Or microwave meals where you have to turn them half way. WHY? They are spinning around anyway!

People who put “just a gentle reminder” in blatantly snarky emails.

People who walk noisily behind me, almost breathing down my neck...just bloody go round me, stop bloody hovering!! I have to stop and let them pass. ( and I'm not a dawdler!)

People who are late and don't acknowledge or apologise. Why is their time more important than mine?

Opening an orange juice carton properly is impossible without slopping it everywhere.

My OH who will not reverse car into our driveway when I've asked him repeatedly to do it as its a narrow road with people who are idiots parking directly opposite our drive so it's a pita to reverse out! Makes me so mad.

Peri-meno symptoms 🤨😶‍🌫️🤯🥶🥵🤬😈

Imagine how often they'd be without the spiders though,!

When you do an entire Covid test but it turns out the sachet had too little liquid in so the test doesn’t work. All of the plastic and the expense for nothing!
