Page 3 | to ask if you get disproportionately angry about anything, or do i have an anger problem... (lighthearted, I hope!)

I honestly can’t bear it when plastic food packaging doesn’t open with ease. I have been known to bin the item in rage… not proud of this! anyone else have minor things that make them mad?!

This is really narrow but on Kermode and Mayo's film review show they read out listener's emails and near enough ever week someone uses the word "visceral." I go the rest of the week fine without hearing it, not a word much needed day to day - but somehow there can't be an episode where they don't read out an email with it in.

I get disproportionally angry at very loud repetitive noises. Think someone repeatedly blowing a whistle, banging a fork on a table, alarms going off. I physically can’t stand it and have to leave if the noise can’t stop. I work very hard at letting my kids be noisy kids but sometimes I find it overwhelming. I wish I could change it as in every other way I’m not quick to anger at all.

Misophonia. My husband had to wrap a parcel the other night which involved using a lot of masking tape and by the time he finished I was climbing the walls.

Passwords. Now they need 70 billion types of characters I can basically never remember them. My phone remembers them but if I need to log on a different device I need to reset it every single time.

Yes, this. They're actually less secure now than they were when it was something you could actually remember. They're not really fit for purpose - if they were a front door key, they would come bolted on to a 4-foot-cubed concrete monolith and be trumpeted as amazing for the fact that you couldn't lose them, without any regard paid to how practical they were for people to actually use.

What enrages me more than anything with online passwords, though - in fact, inputting any kind of code or number - is when you are told off for getting it wrong all the time whilst you are inputting it, because it's not long enough. Yes, I know that I will need to enter 16 different digits for my credit card number, but short of having a keyboard the size of Liechtenstein with a separate button for every single 16-digit permutation, the only way I can do it is by pressing 16 separate buttons.

When a recipe online has good reviews, then you read them and they all say things like "This was really wonderful, we loved it. I just added bacon and chillies, swapped the nutmeg for paprika, the peppers for turnips, potatoes for fish, took out the milk and rice, cooked it for twice the time stated...." and so on.... You aren't really reviewing THIS recipe then are you!
Really winds me up.

🤣🤣true!

When two or more hangers get tangled together, I can't cope.

jgw1 · 15/04/2023 21:49

Is it possible to be dispropotionately angry about this?

HowcanIgetoutofthisalive · 15/04/2023 21:51

DH eating a bag of crisps; I've never heard so much unnecessary crumpling of the bags. I now make him dispense the crisps on a plate...cringe...

People who walk close behind me and have noisy footsteps. Back OFF!

out walking and couples walking hand in hand towards me who make no effort to move even slightly out of the way despite me showing willing to move out of their way. I don't move anymore so we end up bumping shoulders and they look affronted. Fuck off. 🤬

Furrybutts · 15/04/2023 21:56

If I'm parked up sitting in my car just minding my own business and someone knocks on the window.
Makes me stabby!

It's happened twice in the last week, once while I was stationary at a zebra crossing looking at a building to my left. The guy who had just crossed knocked on the passenger window to tell me to look where I was going
I think he thought that because I wasn't looking forwards, I couldn't see him.

Second time I was parked in a hospital car park, just minding my own business, listening to the radio, when an old man tapped on my window.
No idea what he wanted because I refused to look at him.

I have no idea why it makes me so angry.

Oh god yes, I have to verbally abuse them.

Same with slugs. The neighbours have been known to cover their ears.

RobertJohnsonsShoes · 15/04/2023 22:13

I told my sister someone at work said she looked a bit like an owl

She replied WHO?!

and went on a mad rampage before realising.

We did laugh but she is the first to admit she get irrationally angry about the smallest of stuff.

Commonsensitivity · 15/04/2023 22:18

The sound of any male youtuber between the age of 19 and 35. Can't stand their shrieking, loud vacuous voices and personalities.

I laughed a lot at this

I might have drunk a little too much to guarantee accuracy here, but based on my laptop keys being about 1.5cm x 1.5cm you'd need a keyboard a little over 29 times the size of Liechtenstein.

@Allchangename354 I haven't checked the size of my phone screen keys.

Allchangename354 · 15/04/2023 23:01

Hate packaging and clothes catching on door handles.

Also the long loops on the back of jumpers that I think are meant for the hanger but end up strangling me or a strange new choker. Can’t just cut or unpick as I’d rage as much about itchy fibres at the cut 😡

Wow, that's some serious dedication to the maths!! I should have known I was at fault in arrogantly eschewing the accepted unit of comparison in this milieu: 'a Wales'

A Belgium is equally valid.

Noisy eaters. I have to move seats.
people who think rules just aren’t for them; makes me want to teach my children to just do what’s best for them rather than fair on everyone.
Facebook moaners.
Hun/hunz/babes
People who use their dogs as an excuse to work from home. I paid for childcare so you can pay for a dog sitter!

When you're driving behind someone and they turn into a petrol forecourt but stop halfway through the turn, with the back end of their car still sticking out into the road while they decide which petrol pump they want to go to.

Gives me the raaaaage. Just pull into the forecourt and OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY then decide where you're going.

BucketList101 · 15/04/2023 23:10

People. People in general. They happen and they piss me right off.

The "wheels" on the dishwasher tray coming off.

Third wheel on the left came off. I try (and fail) to close the dishwasher. It falls off the tracks and won't go in.

I got so angry this week with it that I nearly took the whole fucking trey out and repeatedly smashed it on thr floor, plates and all.

Bloody hell, most of the little ones already mentioned. Cars idling, losing things, cling film, tech not being idiot proof, dropping things, fucking coat hangers, catching my sleeves on bastard door handles….

and text walkers. There is a special place in hell for these folk (in a pit of coat hangers)

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 15/04/2023 23:11

Thank you, @PocketBattleship - taking a look at that now!
