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?

When you clean your kitchen and you finally sit down.
And someone decides to make food and it looks lovely me a bomb site.

Looks like a bombsite

Going shopping with my mum who likes to look at every single thing on the shelves even though she doesn't need or want it. I forget what I need because I end up following her around 🙄

Stumping my toe!! Zero to a hundred in a second!

Not being able to piss in peace without the toddler and the dog insisting they have to come with.

OH not being able to look for ANYTHING!
By himself.

People on phones at lights and you have to beep.

Being served by grumpy arse people.

Every night without fail the dog decides he wants to go out and your waiting to go to bed for over half hour and the little shit won't come in 🙄

The neighbor hoovering at 9 o'clock at night (and yes they have been in all day)

Received 2 letters from the NHS. Both with the same date and same information. What a waste of money.

@SouthCountryGirl

Yep. I have had them send letters that get to me on a Saturday a number of times too. So if you have a query or a worry it ruins your weekend.

But my fave one was when someone at the DWP rang me about something, (to do with a certain kind of benefit we were applying for at the time,) and left a message on my mobile phone answerphone and said 'can you return my call when you get this message?'

It was 4.55pm on the Thursday before Easter that this woman rang and I didn't see the message til 5.30pm as I had left my phone in the house while I was a the bottom of the garden. They closed at 5.00pm, and weren't open again til the Tuesday. I worried myself sick about what it could be about, and it proper ruined my Easter break away with my family.

When I rang them back on the Tuesday, I waited 50 MINUTES for them to answer the phone, and all it was, was them saying they just need my last but one address, as I had not included it on the 'form.' Could the woman not have said this on the message?! 'We just need you to confirm your last but one address - as you didn't include it...?' Instead of the ambiguous non-message 'ring us back when you get this!'

Annoying as fuck!

The school used to do this as well! Send letters out so they arrived on a Saturday - or the beginning of a half term - or main holiday. So if you had a question or a worry of any kind, you couldn't do anything about it, until they opened again. They did this deliberately.

Fruit flies

Raid. I don't know if they've changed it but it seems to kill them now. Doesn't stop them hatching like.

Another one from me… Passive aggressive people!!! They won’t actually tell you what their problem is but will make snide remarks or do stupid things or ghost you thinking that somehow I’ll just ‘get it’ and understand why they’re doing or saying those things…. Or they think I should guess why they’re doing it!

Sorry but I’m not psychic so no I don’t fucking get it or understood what your problem is! If you have an issue just TELL me exactly what your fucking problem is rather than doing or saying silly childish things! I cannot be arsed with your childish guessing games and I will just either laugh at you being too scared to actually tell me to my face what your problem is or I’ll just ignore such passive aggressive rubbish!!!

re the letters/phone calls last thing Friday etc. I work for a GP and when we have to phone someone for an appoinment after we've had blood test results we deliberately wait until Monday so they don't worry over the weekend.

Put out cider vinegar and washing up liquid in a cup - vinegar attracts them, fairy liquid traps them

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

My top tip - if you have a smartphone, take a photo and enlarge it.

Oh God yes. Really annoys me.

Also happens at the cricket. Went to a match last year and the three guys behind us talked non-stop, really, really loudly. After about three hours of hearing about their marital problems in minute detail the man sitting next to me turned round and very politely said "Sorry guys but would you mind turning the volume down a bit, we don't all need to know your problems" . They went ballistic, called him an arsehole and who was he to tell them to sit in silence. I turned round and said he didn't tell them not to talk, just not so loudly. I also said that if one of the issues they were discussing was really as bad as they said I would advise them to attend a sexual health clinic for advice. They did tone it down after that and someone in the row in front of us turned round and have us the thumbs up and a big smile.

Reminds me of the year my late husband decided that he would help on Christmas day, by putting all the oven gloves in the washing machine at 11 am.

@JudgeJ now you have said the 'c word'. I really hate the build up to Xmas starting in early November. Presents under the tree, Xmas songs on radio even though the actual event is over a month away. And the week between Xmas and NYE should still have Xmas songs. Not fucking November.

Oh, I've thought of another one. Before holidays I like to get the house tidy and clean (well, more so than usual). I also like to get the wash bins mostly cleared, so we don't come back to a pile of pre-holiday washing to add to the holiday washing. During the week before the holiday I get my clothes washed, except what I'm wearing on the last day.

Meanwhile, every other fucker leaves stuff lying around their room, then the last day before the holiday, when we need to be doing other things than washing, they go round their rooms and discover heaps of half-worn stuff that they then dump in the wash bin.

Having to register for everything. Why do I need to register to use eg the BBC weather app. I can go onto their website and look at the weather without registering. Why is the app different?

People who keep posting on threads where the OP has long gone or has never gone past the initial post. Just why?! And tagging the OP on a life limiting illness thread and "checking in for an update" when someone is terminally ill takes the "race to the bottom" to a whole new level.

I'm actually scared that these people walk among us.

People pushing past me in queues because they think they are more important.
Things that are meant to be easy to open but are not.
People who block up areas such as those on public transport or in shopping centres by standing around chatting in groups.
People who are rude generally yet can't take the same treatment back.
Loud sniffers.
Most of what has been mentioned on here really. I am not a fan of people. Animals are much nicer.

People who when checking in for a flight don’t seem to realise that they need to produce a passport and ticket. They then spend minutes scrabbling around in a bag for them.

People who hold mobile phones horizontally. They look stupid.

The large numbers of people who get less and fewer wrong. I am the person who snaps at the television every time it’s wrong.

Strangers calling me dear or hun.

Dawdlers who block pavements or who come to a full stop in the middle of a path.

Mansplainers.

People who fail to add a please or thanks when asking for advice or assistance on social media. It’s plain rude.

I could go on. And on.

People who when checking in for a flight don’t seem to realise that they need to produce a passport and ticket.

A passport when you drop off your bags and to scan at security, but a ticket? I haven’t had a ticket for a flight for years.

"People who hold mobile phones horizontally. They look stupid."

I do that if I'm looking at a picture taken in landscape mode, so I can view it full screen. I couldn't give a shit what other people might think I look like doing so. 🤷‍♀️

@UnctuousUnicorns

I assume that user meant that they think people holding their phone horizontally while they are speaking on it look 'stupid' (to them.) Could you clarify @Meowandthen ???

Do you mean using the phone horizontally and speaking into it? Or using the phone horizontally to take photographs? Because surely loads of people do that when they're taking a landscape photograph ... ? I take some horizontal and some vertical pics when I am out. A whole collection of only horizontal pics would look weird IMO. Nice to have a mix.

My GP once called me at 530pm on a Friday. I wasn't expecting a call. As I was eating (and away) I ignored it and had to wait until Monday to find out what this was about. So annoying!

When the delivery company text you a timeframe in which the parcel will be delivered but the delivery driver turns up an hour earlier than the time specified… while you are in the bath… then have to scramble about trying to dry yourself and put some clothes on just to answer the door!!!
