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?

@Thundercats77

Unsolicited advice.

I hate this too. I posted about this yesterday. I fucking HATE people throwing opinions at me that I never fucking asked for, or needed, or wanted.

EG; 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.

Like who the fuck do people think they are, dishing out 'advice' and telling you what you should be doing? Especially when they don't know you, and especially when you're a fucking grown adult in your FIFTIES!

Completely agree but I did once get stuck in snow whilst trying to park further up the road, was being helped to push the car by several other parents but home owner ran out of house to shout at me, even though the situation was obvious. I can see why she was protective of her drive way but- use your noggin love.

People who force prescriptivist views on other peoples language ignoring the nuances and colloquialisms of day to day language.

Exactly this! ^ @floodywell picking on @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet for what she said/how she said it, was a bit pathetic and a pretty rude and unnecessary dig!

Yep. We call it teeth sucking.

I have sons and yet I call my cat "the best boy".
The cat loves it,the sons who cares🤣**

Agreed! They have one job…

People who have no sense of personal space and insist on standing RIGHT behind you in a queue, so you can almost feel the breathing. Gives me the creeps. Fuck off!

Yes! Even more so when I have a pram. I’ve nearly run into people just by turning around because they were that close and the only direction I could go was where they were standing. I found too many did this directly after covid restrictions were dropped. There is no need to be that close to a stranger in a queue.

I hate this so much!! 😅

We call it ISIS proof in our house. I am currently ‘processing’ the pain and ‘reaching out’ to you btw - wanky talk is another pet hate of mine!

Men who try and " help" me reverse. Please just fuck off. I've probably been driving since you were in short trousers.
People who don't get the highway code. Narrow street with cars parked, I have right of way and the amount of idiots that still keep driving on the WRONG side of the road without pulling in, when plenty of space to do so. 🤬
Cars without indicators.
Slow moving lorries who decide to pull out on a motorway to overtake another Slow moving lorry and sit there at 40mph causing a HUGE tailback.

Or cars that sit in the outside lane and don't pull in, and get that's an overtaking lane.
Dog owners that use flexi leads, or are off lead and let them wander up to my scared dog . He's terrified of big dogs as he got attacked ( we are working on this), and when he barks at the other dog in his space, I get " oh he has small dog syndrome " . No he fuckin doesn't, he doesn't like your rude dog in his face, and thanks for setting him back a week in his confidence levels.
Delivery drivers who try and shove parcels through my letterbox.

Yes to the narrow street with parked cars. When you’re already driving down the road and some idiot comes the other way who should have stayed behind a parked car until you pass and then act surprised and wonder why they cannot get past you! I mean do they think my car is a ghost that will just allow other cars to pass through me?? Jesus wept 🙄

Well if you are an existing payee, then it's pretty easy.

I was talking about the situation where someone comes round to do a job and you haven't used them before, or not for a while, as Nationwide only keeps payees in your list for 13 months, so if you use someone say every 2 years, you'll still need the card reader.

I can't pay you if the bank won't let me. However, you are right that there is no excuse for waiting days or weeks to do it.

There needs to be a thread about this sort of thing!

Yes, if you voted for Brexit you should lose any rights to an EU passport. Wankers.

And to the other poster - no Nationwide hasn't done away with card readers. And even if I log onto my account using the card reader they STILL make me use it again to authorise a payment.

That isn't two factor authentication - it's about four factor!

Yes I could bank elsewhere but it's not usually a massive problem.

It's fine if theres a genuine reason. But often people don't bother to tell you, they just ignore you.

I think people agree X date because they want the job done ASAP but they know full well they won't have the money to pay for it until X date and they just ignore you in the interim. Its unacceptable.

I've also had a guy who didn't pay simply because he didn't understand something on the invoice. He had the money, he just didn't understand so instead of asking me, he just ignored it. When I waited a polite three days to contact he finally told me the issue, I explained he said "oh OK" and paid. WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME THREE DAYS AGO?

Urgh. I know to them it's just a bill, but to me it's food shopping money, my rent, days out for the kids, etc etc plus we can't pay our suppliers until the customer pays meaning we can't take out our next job.... the knock-on effect is bigger than people realise

Just pay your damn invoice, people 😆

Middle lane hogging morons
Bras
Jars
Tins without the tab to open them
Tin openers
Large knobs (door, shower door etc 😉) that constantly attack me
People doing the crossed through words thing for twenty paragraphs
Dog shit bags left in trees

Also

Facebook- why is anyone still on it?

How do you even do the crossed out words?

Those GU10-style bulbs. There are about 15 in my kitchen ceiling and as soon as I replace one a different one goes. They’re so fucking fiddly as well. They were there when we moved in and it’s probably a pain in the arse - and expensive - to get them replaced with something sensible. Bastards.

It's the s with the line through at the bottom left, next to underline and Italic

This is very specific to my life. My husband scuffs his feet when he walks on about every 4th step

More generally tailgating.

Coathangers. Just behave. You do not have to cling onto seven other coathangers and drag them all out of the wardrobe with you.

😆 OMG THIS!!! ^

YEP!
