Things that give you the absolute RAGE!!

[strawthatbrokethecamelsback]

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?

Haha, I love that! And yes, that is me to a tee.

@Thepeopleversuswork ,
sorry, but in the context quoted, ‘process’ is wanky.

And shows they haven't looked in their mirror.

Mine is the sound of other people eating.

@muu and @Ireallycantthinkofagoodone if you peel eggs under water the shell comes off really easily. Pop the eggs in a bowl of water or under a running tap. The most useful thing I learned working in a coffee shop that sold a lot of egg mayo sandwiches!

Out of politeness. I am secretly thinking "why didn't they look in their mirror, there is nothing behind them".

Adults talking to other adults in baby talk. Cutesy abbreviations.

Someone asked me 'are those your choccy biccies?' recently and it made me want to hurl myself into the sun.

But otherwise I am quite a chill person 😂

no offence if you do this with your DH/ partner/ friends. You do you. It's none of my business.

I know someone who was living in Spain at the time of the vote, but they and their family all voted Brexit.

They've still got friends over there and are annoyed that they will now need a Carta de Invitation in order to stay with those friends, because it's awkward and costs money to get one.

Well you voted to make it awkward and expensive so shut up about it!

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

i sometimes do😁 depending on my mood. Well I take a step towards the middle with each bell ring. I hate my peaceful morning runs been interrupted by these idiots.

People who try and get on the train before you get off.

I'm going to add: adults calling one another 'babe'.

<vomit emoji, only I can't do emojis>

This. So that I have to then walk in the road so that they can continue their conversation two a breast 😡

And people who say "try and" when they mean "try to". Gah.

Oooh, I thought of something else. I don't really get cold very often, and I wear a sleeveless vest top, and jeans some days, and every time I go out when it's below 18C and not sunny, I get some random woman saying 'aren't you cold?!' and 'you need to wrap up!'

I have also had some fucking rando pointing at my feet because I was walking in open toed shoes in February. It was 13 degrees C, and sunny, and she said 'YOU need some better shoes for walking in February!' I was like >>> I thought 'who the fuck do you think you're talking to? I'm not a fucking child!' I just looked at her with this expression > 😒and ignored her. These women are always between 10 years older and 10 years younger than me.

I also get irked by people coming up to me who I haven't seen for maybe half a year or more, and they say 'how's your auntie Pauline?' Or 'how's your cousin Jen?' No 'how are you Purple? How's the kids, how's the other half, are you well???' They ask about some random extended family member I rarely see (and sometimes haven't seen for 2 years!)

Last time I said to this one woman (an old acquaintance of my extended family from years ago,) 'well you live 2 miles closer to her than I do. Why don't you knock on her door and ASK her how she is? I'm all right by the way.'

Got a frown and a side eye type look - and then she walked off without saying anything. Silly mare.

I'm puzzled by this. Why are the boxes there? I thought they were to stop people potentially being in the way of a different flow of traffic.

@ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea

Ducking is twee

I blame autocorrect and my rage induced typing that wouldn't entertain spellcheck

I meant fucking and I am now adding fucking autocorrect to my list 😄

Along with the high step that you have to climb down when trying to get off the train and people are just stood there in front of the door blocking you from getting off so almost lose your balance in the process and fall down the large gap between train and platform while trying not to trample on them! Even worse if you are lugging a suitcase off the train.

Also when getting on the train and you’re behind someone else in the isle who finds a seat and then proceeds to stand in the isle while taking their coat off etc blocking anyone else wanting to get past them leaving a long line of people all waiting for that one person while people have got on the train through the doors at the other end of the carriage and have now taken all the seats while you’re still waiting for that one person to get seated!

I can see @JusthereforXmas's point actually. The problem isn't with letting the pedestrian cross, it's with the flashing of the lights.

As a pedestrian, I am not going not cross until I can see that an approaching car is actually slowing down enough for me to cross safely. If they flash before they brake, I can't assume that they are telling me to cross. I need to check all around first to see if they could be flashing for another reason - they might have seen someone they know, or even hit the lights by accident, for example.

Flashing the lights is actually a very dangerous things to do in many scenarios as it can easily lead to the wrong person assuming that the signal is for them.

People who say “his” instead of “he’s”

Websites that ask for your date of birth on a calendar. You have to manually scroll back to your year of birth which takes ages if you're born in 1965.

Do you mean written or speaking? I have an accent which makes me pronounce he’s as his but I know that in my mind I’m saying he’s.

However I’m also sick of seeing this increasing trend of people writing “his” instead of “he’s”.

I turn on the spot and face them. They step back, then. Once they're back, I turn back round and face the right way, and rock from front to back foot repeatedly. I'm sure they think I'm mad, but at least I don't catch their cold or suffer long from inhaling their breath.

An ever-increasing number of ridiculous posts on this site!!!

People who park cars or bikes on the pavement in ways that make it difficult for pedestrians to get past.

Drivers or (more often) cyclists who ignore green pedestrian lights.

Runners who don't look where they're going, and nearly, or in some cases actually, knock people over.

People who are harsh and intolerant toward people with invisible, or in some cases even visible, disabilities.

People who use sneering variations of 'woke' ('wokerati'; 'wokesters') as insults.

Anyone or anything that reminds me of my birthday, or tries to find out when it is,

The Internet when it disconnects without warning!

@fetchacloth just sign up with Zen Internet - look at their awards over the years - I have had absolutely trouble free internet for 10+ years with them - you can ring them up and talk to a person - I've experienced the frustrations of dealing with the big names BT, Sky, Virgin, PlusNet and wouldn't touch any of them again. The only reason I'm possibly leaving is to switch to Starlink (at great expense) but I want a system I can use at home and also take away and use in remote areas in my campervan.

Nothing really makes me that angry anymore - I try not to let anything spoil my day. My wife moves my things - thinks she doesn't use perhaps or doesn't know what they are or how recently I used them or why they are out... all sorts - every single day - I have to ask if she's seen my X, Y, Z - she's put it in a drawer or in my study in places I'd never look (because it's not the place I would ever put X, Y or Z) - e.g. an old £100 webcam that I've never used - I was looking at setting it up to film birds in the garden - she didn't know what it was so put it in a box of things to take to the charity shop - that kind of thing. She works in a laboratory and has annoyed the hell out of everyone for years with her excessive tidiness - a good quality in a lab TBH - she literally doesn't know she's doing it - it's just her autopilot/default mode. It's like living with a house robot. Bar that - I naturally let a lot of things go these days - life is too short - winding yourself up is most likely to damage your own health and spoil your own day...and is probably a waste of time, energy and emotion anyway.

"Some of us have to support our own children"

And it's attitudes like that that gets the Tories relentlessly voted in time after time, because they get us all fighting amongst each other whilst they get away with all the shady shit they do.

I am sick of being made to feel like whats left on the bottom of someone's shoes because I can't go to work at the moment (my partner works full time, so don't worry we aren't stealing your 'hard working' taxpayer money) so I stay at home with my kids.

My reasons for not working are valid, and my own, and none of anyone's business, but some working mums on here seem to think all I do is laze about all day stealing their money via benefits, because that's what the Daily Fail has told you to think.
It's fucking depressing.

And to add to my list.

People with 'gender disappointment'.
Fuck off. It's not a real "disorder". You just wanted a dolly you could dress in ribbons and frills and you're upset that you're having a boy because they're not as interesting to dress up.

People that think kids should never make a sound, go anywhere or take up space anywhere in public ever at all.
Get a life. They have just as much right as you do to live their life, stop being so miserable. Maybe you should stay in and shut up instead.

E Scooters. I could happily punch whoever invented those things directly in the crotch.
If one hits my child, it could kill them.
Get off the fucking pavements.

Old people who give me the evil eye if I happen to have parked my pram in the pram/wheelchair space (where I live one side is pram and the other is wheelchair) so they can't park their wheel along trolley bag things there.
I was here first. Deal with it.

Wheel along trolley bags.

Queue jumpers.

Tall people sitting in front of me every single time I try to watch something. It's like they seek me out. I'm 5ft 2.

Dogs. Dog owners. People using the term 'fur babies' or referring to themselves as dog mum or dog dad or saying their dog is their child's 'sibling'. Fuck. Right. Off.
