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?

People playing music out loud on public transport, especially trains, or taking long calls on speakerphone.

Too late for what? I passed my test in my early forties due to caring responsibilities

Good for you. I’ve needed to drive for work and my responsibilities since I was a late teen. How would your 35+ plan work there hmm??

Could you sneak out the night before and chalk her a large message on the pavement - 'By God you are LOUD! Yes YOU on the phone with the marching walk of a morning.' Something like that? You'd have to wait for a non-raining night/morning but I'd love to see her face .

Hard to read most shampoos/conditioners.

I bought some fish medication the other day and couldn't read the instructions even with my glasses on - I had to look up their website on the internet to find out!

I'm going to add in here, instructions written in several languages so they can print them more cheaply. They squash in so much that the font is often tiny and impossible to read.

“Girl Boss”, “nailing” and “smashing” things. 🤢

So, in other words, you can't stop in a box junction while waiting to turn right, if your manoeuvre is delayed by other drivers going straight across the junction from the opposite side. So, in most cases, you can't enter the box junction unless you have a clear immediate exit.

The DWP and their habits of sending letters so they arrive on a Saturday.

We have a magnetic magnifying glass on our fridge for the small font.

Great tip

I now have one in most rooms in the house. Today I received some hair products I'd ordered and had to get the magnifying glass in the bedroom out to read the instructions. Makes steam come out of my ears at times it's so frustrating 😡

People who pull out of side streets etc in a rush and a flourish because they're desperate to get out in front of traffic and then drive like fucking snails.

Parents who think that they own every inch of public space because they've got "chilllllllldren" without realising that their "chilllllllllldren" are as much of a pain in the arse as dogs/cats//squirrels/adults/caravans/tractors/asteroids and haemmorhoids and beloved only by those who produced them.

That is the BEST time Becky to play Train Chicken and passive aggressively say “Oh sorry I didn’t see you there” as you both run your headbutted faces 😂

The people who gather in the middle of the supermarket to have a big conversation, complete with a couple of bored looking husbands standing with the trolleys blocking off some shelves

People stopping in a doorway or as they get off an escalator

people who say of course I understand when they have not got a clue what you are going through just find it really patronizing. why not just say I dont know what you are going through but I am here for you

I once pushed a middle aged man over because he stopped at the top of an escalator and stood like a lemon looking round for a good 10 seconds, ignoring my shouts of ‘excuse me hello’. I was 8 months pregnant and had my toddler next to me. I didn’t fancy either of us face planting the escalator or worse falling back down it so pushed the silly bastard over. Of course he was in tremendous pain and made a big old deal and everyone made a fuss and asked me why I hurt him 🙄 no one could quite understand I didn’t fancy taking a trip down a massive escalator with a 2yo and perhaps it’s a bad idea to stand at the top of one (He didn’t know anyone was behind him apparently - yeah that’s the point dickhead)

It's ON! 😁I've got a really hard head too.

What's the opposite to this thread? Things that spark joy? Bring calm? I think you should make a new thread @strawthatbrokethecamelsback and we can see what silly things make us happy!

Constantly late people.
Like I understand being late sometimes but it's not cute when you're left standing waiting.

When your GP doesn't read your notes and asks if you've tried something. I've tried it twice and it didn't work the first or second time.

Nope, it won’t work. We need to hear BAD things! Far more entertaining.

Some twat banging into my car and driving off. Some else left a note on the windscreen to say they clocked the number plate but they wrote the number plate down wrong :-(

Queue jumpers, greedy panic buyers... folks with buggies who give my daughter evils because she's in the wheelchair bay ( in her wheelchair that doesn't fold) on a bus as if there's only a designated hour in the day that she should travel!
Ps we DO avoid school times BTW. as we appreciate mums might be collecting baby's older siblings around those times.

The fact that so many people use and smell so strongly of cannabis these days.
Shop assistants who love to chat when there's a long queue waiting.
Going into a shop where there's only a 10 and 12 on the peg and being told by staff... it's prob available online! Great can I order it here and pay now?
No!
Can you check if other stores have it and get it sent here?
No!
Aaaaaaggggghhhhhh! If everyone ordered online they'd be no shops.
