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!

Oh yes this. 1000 times this.

When you talk about a problem you have and someone says "have you tried...." followed by the first and most obvious option.
Do you think I'm a moron? It's like a red rag to a bull.

Also as PP have said, the packets that don't open like bacon, ready meals etc. Mainly because I always think, the people who make these things must also consume some of this stuff. You'd think if your own product wasn't fit for purpose you'd want to do something about it! So not only do I get mad at the packet for breaking, I also get mad at the company and its employees for caring so little about their own product.

new children’s toys:

1. either I have to assemble the item. Cue me having to assemble a fucking car park in blind panic whilst DS, then 2, looked on with increasing frustration as he wants to play and there are about 17 steps to the assembly or
2. it’s one of those hellish V tech style toys that’s nigh on impossible to remove from the package. I had a total meltdown a month ago over one and was attacking it with pliers when it turned out it was a simple turning mechanism, because my level of trust in the ease of opening has gone now. There’s always a child watching me and it’s too much pressure 😃 “I’m just trying to do something nice!”

Also MN when people
keep copying and pasting each other’s posts to reply until you’re just scrolling through walls of bloody grey text

I'll add poster's who say 'you knew what you were getting into' on every single step parenting thread, even if what we're talking about is a misogynistic man who on any other topic would be torn to pieces by the entirety of MN.

It's tedious and very transparent!

Not as light-hearted as my last two but my GOD it makes me mad.

Really identifying with:

sleeves caught on handles - I take it really personally, like the handle's out to get me;

same with banging my head on a cupboard door, or something. I desperately want to blame someone and end up hitting the door because it's an inanimate object so can't understand if I shout at it;

Also MN when people keep copying and pasting each other’s posts to reply until you’re just scrolling through walls of bloody grey text Oh, most definitely! Scrolling down until you get blisters, only to find an emoji or a single word like "this". Not even sure sometimes which of the eight bloody nested posts "this" is!

Yes. Also the of/have, less/fewer confusion, its rife on here. Irrationally it makes me twitch.

I have a well spoken acquaintance who has mentioned her DH’s prostRate a couple of times. I really have to bite my tongue.

😆

Shop workers who go in for the hard sell. I love our local farm shop but I hate being followed round the tiny shop being introduced to the latest bargains and pretending to look interested when I really just want to shop in peace. Same for the big shops, too.

We have a bin in the kitchen with a swing lid- my DP can never put anything in it and close the lid! I'm sure he just does it on purpose now because he knows how mad it makes me 😂. I've been saying for at least 6 months that I'm buying a new bin!
Also agree with the sleeves getting caught on door handles!

This! 😂😂😂 Agree it's such a knob move!!

Space invaders. Mainly on motorways. Grrr

Shampoo and conditioner bottles that are exactly the same and writing so small I can’t see which is which in the shower without my glasses on. There must be someone on their design teams that wears glasses and has this problem!

Boy racers / speeding.
I'm fit and healthy and can get out of the way quickly, but a child or an elderly person can't/ doesn't have the same reflexes. It angers me so much.

OMG yes! I'm a lover of many a cross body bag- I want to yank it off and throw it across the room when it swings in my face. And HOT does not help. I'm right with you here.

Lorries over-taking each other on dual carriageways and motorways. They just lurch out in front of you, whenever they fancy, and take approx. 3 years to over-take, completely blocking the rest of the traffic. It should be banned.
And people who drive right up your arse. It's always a van driver, or someone in a dickishly large car, who thinks they have a right to get where they're going soooo much faster than anyone else.

The sound of teenage boys and young men giggling and guffawing.

Like nails on a blackboard.

Hedgehogs, euwww. Spiky little bastards.

My very pleasant ndn. Just a bit too pleasant for my liking.

When you’re filling in your address on a website and it asks for the country you’re in and you have to scroll right down for the UK. I could understand if it was international but so many UK websites but the UK at the top separately and then (as they know most people will be ticking it) and then allow everyone else to scroll down.
Also, any sort of cheesy sign like ‘live, laugh love’ ‘don’t wait for the storm to pass, learn to dance in the rain’ 😡 😆

*put the UK at the top

blooming autocorrect again

I thought it was only me!

People that insist on showing you their photos scrolling through hundreds of the damn things especially when they know I am not interested in looking at them but they start off with I know you don't like looking at photos but these are lovely just have a quick look grrrh

People saying ‘mad’ when they mean ‘angry’.

Mating coathangers.

I am a bird lover so have a real issue with dogs off the lead in the countryside. Long lines are not much better.

Poor spelling and grammar. I know it is unfair to judge people but as a retired teacher I can't help myself.

Plastic pots of soup that have a tab to break - I have gone back to tinned soup as I can't open them.

Life admin - gets in the way of life and I struggle to keep up with it all since loosing my DH who was really good at it.
