DH has just put the dishwasher on a long cycle in the middle of the day 😡 I have all of his family coming shortly for a meal to celebrate his birthday.

surely everyone knows that during the day it’s a short cycle and overnight it’s a long cycle.

now I have to wait 3 bastard hours for it to finish with the pots building up.

of course slightly lighthearted but what does give you the rage?

Amazon and their bloody stupid alcohol rules!

What rules are these? I've never ordered alcohol from Amazon

As a pedestrian (especially when I'm juggling young children) when a car slows down and flashes me to cross the road... piss off.

I'm not walking in front of a moving car that could decide to speed up at any point (which they have done many times when they think you are taking 'too long') with my toddler a disable pre-schooler. There is almost always no cars behind them either, just drive past and let us cross in the safety of the empty road.

There's a reason its illegal to flash someone out/across its because its not safe.

Parking in the village I live in!! I am presently taking photos of all the cars parking on the pavement......yes I mean you young neighbour with a baby! People who have more vehicles than there are people living in the house,so they park causing inconvenience to others and not one f* is given.

YEP. A family in my street have FOUR vehicles, and yet just two people who can drive. TWO. The fucking parents. The 4 kids (aged 10 to 17) can't drive. God help us all when they can coz there will be a dozen fucking vehicles there.

They have 2 cars that have packed up, coz they'll cost more to repair than they are worth. One has been stuck on the drive doing fuck-all since summer 2021! And the other since January this year. (Also on the drive.)

Then they have one working car, and a fucking big blue van - (HE has borrowed it from his workplace.) HER car and HIS van are stuck on the road most of the time. They have a 4 vehicle drive and still choose to stick 2 vehicles on the road, getting in everyone's way!!!

Utter c*nts.

Cyclists (nearly always gentlemen of an older generation) on bikes, ringing their little bell incessantly to get you to move (or even if you have moved to one side) of the path. No thank you, no acknowledgement as they go past.

A cheery good morning/afternoon would be much more civil.

Yes, I always walk close to the left hand side of local canal towpath so there is more than adequate space to pass, but some people still ding their bells at me. I usually ask them how much space they need.

(I am not going to start dancing along the middle of the path just as they come alongside me)

They ask for proof of age (like go and find your passport) before handing it over. I mean, I'm 60

AlfietheSchnauzer · 22/07/2023 17:13

People who push into queues, ahead of those of us on mobility scooters or wheelchairs! Same for shop assistants etc behind counters who look straight over us as though we don't exist....

I don't know what happens if you order for yourself, but if someone orders it for you as a present, you have to show ID, even if you are obviously over 18 (eg my 60 year old husband!)

People who don't realise their automatic driving lights mean the back ones aren't on and they are driving in very poor wet driving conditions completely invisible to other drivers.

What's the point of the automatic lights then

I don't have them but am curious

Christmas202 · 22/07/2023 17:14

My husband every day when getting into relaxing clothes slings his other clothes on the bannister😡😡😡

littlebopeepp234 · 22/07/2023 17:15

Selfish people with large vehicles or vans who park too close to a junction so you cannot see around them when you need to pull out and then almost crash into an oncoming car!

?? They're allowing you to cross! Do you really think anyone is going to risk a life in prison and a guilty conscience for the rest of their days in order to kill you or your kids???? I always met people cross out of kindness, so that they don't have to risk rushing across

JusthereforXmas · 22/07/2023 17:16

Oh and when your next in line for a till but the person checking out has 101 items and now a queue is forming so they open a new till. They always say 'whose next' so why is it always the twat who just joined the back of the line 2 seconds ago that goes racing forward like Usain Bolt? You where clearly in no way 'next' mate.

Anyone who wants proof of ID for booze when that person is 60 should not be driving. NO-ONE of around 60 would need fucking ID for booze FFS! Hmm

Freshair1 · 22/07/2023 17:17

People talking into a horizontally held phone. Why? Why? It looks ridiculous.

The current weather and the ducking constant rain

And twee words in posts like hubby and yummy

Don't you think that ducking is itself the epitome of a twee word ?

If your the only car on the road how the hell is expecting them to cross infront of your still moving car 'nice'.

Its ILLEGAL.

Yeah that one from @JusthereforXmas confused me too. Getting angry with courteous drivers. Confused Batshit.

Bernadinetta · 22/07/2023 17:18

People who don’t properly supervise their children at soft play

AlfietheSchnauzer · 22/07/2023 17:19

@JusthereforXmas No it isn't illegal at all! If it was, then zebra crossings wouldn't exist! I'm gobsmacked that you're angry at people for stopping their vehicle and allowing you to cross safely! Unbelievable

RunningJo · 22/07/2023 17:19

I get why people put birthday’s on Fb, but for me It’s the posts that are written to the actual child, as if they have FB and can read it for example. 😆

TableRunner · 22/07/2023 17:19

People who don't wash their hands after using the toilet.
The amount of times I've seen people exit a cubicle and then leave without washing their hands!
People who exit toilet cubicles and then just give their fingers a cursory two second rinse under a cold tap.
Dirty sods.

The fact that everything delicious is weight gaining or bad for your health, such as cream cakes etc, but everything apparently slimming and good for your health isn't nowhere near as delicious.
Often people will say they could murder a bar of chocolate or a sausage roll, yet I've never heard anyone say they could murder a cabbage or a bag of carrots.

Constantly barking dogs, printer / broadband / firestick not working, cat bringing in live mice, dogs shitting outside my house and the owners leaving it there, drivers accelerating through a red light, next door’s children apparently torturing each other from morn till night, not winning the lottery or the premium bonds, snagging a brand new jumper, trying to get through to any organization by phone, the list goes on and on. Yes, I am more or less permanently in a rage.

AlfietheSchnauzer · 22/07/2023 17:20

@JusthereforXmas Literally EVERYONE waves and mouthes "Thank you" when I let them cross!

Batshit indeed
