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?

Large groups of people men that stand smoking at the entrance to a pub then look baffled that they need to move when you want to get in or out.

Couples acting like a homogenous blob "That doesn't work for us" "We'll think about it" "we come as a pair" "I won't go if DH can't go". FFS you're an adult old enough to be married. Surely you can arrange a night with friends or doing something without 'hubby'.

Men who trail around their partner in a shop and get in everyone's way but don't bloody move.

Brexit

"Billy's just working through his big feelings" said with a headtilt whilst Billy is being an absolute nightmare.

Public proposals

People asking my childfree friends when they're having kids and don't seem to like it when they say they're not. It's no one's business. Fuck off.

Joint Facebook/email/phones with spouse. I want to message my friend, not their partner!

People who are martyrs about their annual leave "oh I've got far too many days to take, I don't know what to do, I've just been so busy with work"

Being invited to wedding evening dos and still getting the wanky poem about the couple wanting money.

Gen Zs at work acting like they've been at the workplace 20 years already and they're better than everyone else. I never remember being that cocky.

Loud people In hotels that come back to the room at 3:00 a.m. shouting. Just fucking shut up for 2 mins until you get in the room then resume your conversation.

Mumsnetters who think 100k a year is a low salary or that they work much harder than anyone else on a low salary or they've 'tried harder'. Try telling a care worker or nurse they don't work hard enough...

SiL who got a high needs dog she palms off on MiL and FiL constantly.

Women who expect men to pay the bill on dates but then want equality...

Phrases like "weekends are family time". Sounds so strange that you'd never consider doing anything else ever on a weekend.

DS was waiting for an appointment for outpatients. They sent him 13 letters for the same appointment over the course of 2 days.

Oh, like held out in the palm of ones flattened hand? 🤦‍♀️ Yeah, that does look daft, but I presume it's to prevent one from accidentally cutting the call off by pressing something on the screen unwittingly? Damned touchscreens!

HP Smart App.
OMG the absolute rage 😡

People quoting the original post on here
We know what it's about we've read it.

Remember the old Yahoo group conversation feeds, where the last 485/6/7/8 etc. messages were repeated every single time, with a mere "Yes, I agree." addended at the end? 🙄

Don't think i had that pleasure lol

You must be a mere stripling, then! 😂

Cheers lol
I'm not
I think i just didn't engage in that then
I resisted a mobile for long enough

No I don’t want to upgrade my phone it’s only 2 years old and no it isn’t old thanks plus it works fine.

you’ll need this phone, iPad etc to get the 15th update otherwise it’s no use 😡🤬😡 as it’s now out of date and won’t go beyond that 😡🤬😡

Talking into it! Obviously taking photos is fine but I think most know exactly what meant.

Nah. It’s a form of idiotic attention squeaking.

Many places expect you to print a ticket to fly. Maybe Easyjet doesn’t.

Oh yeah that IS odd! Like they do on The Apprentice! BATSHIT! 😬

Oh, I have thought of a couple of other things that piss me off as well. Proper annoy me! This has happened to me a few times. One strong example is.... I've been with this one friend (and this has happened 3 times with her in the past year.) I meet her at Costa or a little cafe, for a coffee and a chat when I haven't seen her for 2 or 3 months. Fifteen to twenty minutes into our one and a half hour meeting - and somebody rings her on their mobile phone.

Adult daughter or husband or mum... Every time... Absolutely no importance or urgency to the call whatsoever ... just 'can you get some eggs?' from her DD, or 'What are we having for tea?' from her DH, and 'What time you coming round in the morning?' from her mum, even though she has already confirmed it.

Said friend then goes on to spend about 6 or 7 minutes chatting to them... It doesn't sound like a long time, but it is when you're sat there like an absolute pratt, while the person you've travelled 15 miles to see and haven't seen for 2-3 months is sitting there talking to a family member that they see every day.

In addition to this - something that's absolutely pissed me off - and has happened twice in three weeks.... I've been talking to somebody - like a neighbour or an ex colleague ... Chatting in the street for maybe 6-7 minutes, and somebody THEY know comes along and just barges straight in and cuts me off, and interrupts our conversation, and totally excludes ME.

They say (to the person I am talking to,) 'oh hi Debs - haven't seen you for ages!!!' and continue talking to her, and completely ignore the fact that I'm there. I'm just completely excluded from the conversation like I'm fucking transparent. First time it happened several weeks ago, I said 'bye then Deb' and walked off. Deb said 'oh bye!'

This happened with a neighbour from up the road too, just three or four days ago. I was talking to her and having quite a deep conversation down the road from our homes (6 houses apart,) and about 10 minutes into it, I heard 'Linda ... ! Hello there. How are you?' And this woman actually just walked over and stood between us with her back to me. And they both carried on chatting and completely ignored me.

As I say this had happened a few weeks before, and this time I actually just walked away, to be honest. I didn't say goodbye to any of them. I heard Linda say. 'Oh, bye. Bye, Wibbly' as I walked off... I just walked off and didn't respond... I didn't even turn around and look. I was quite disgusted.

The next day I could see her hovering outside her garden 6 doors down, saying 'hello Wibbly! Are you alright, are you? It's a bit chilly this morning, isn't it?' I wasn't off with her, and I know she didn't do it intentionally, but nevertheless it was rude, and if she did it again, I would actually call out on it and say that was actually bloody rude. This time I didn't hold a grudge. Next time I would.

The people I am talking to should say 'hi whoever.... I am just chatting to my friend here, I will catch you up later/in half hour/whatever... Not just bloody cut me off and chat amongst themselves like I don't exist. And my friend who I meet for coffee should put her bastard phone on silent/DND! She wouldn't answer if she was driving, or asleep, or actually at work serving customers, so turn the phone off for an HOUR AND A HALF every 2-3 months when you meet me please. I leave MY phone in the car.

I am continually outraged but the sertraline blunts it marvellously. My number one pet peeve has to be bad drivers. And children. Also climate crisis. The news cycle of doom. The knowledge that we'll live to experience certain doom and catastrophes but yeh.... Go ahead and book your holiday, drive your stonking great big car, pop out children, purchase tat from B&M and post a haul video and don't get me started on Shein. Gah. My rage is bubbling.

Agree a thousand times! Fucking ignore the phone! People in front of you should trump your fucking mother with whom you have a weird and over involved relationship with!

My inlaws have decided that they're coming to visit us. On the day that we are leaving for a holiday which puts us out as we have a 3 hour drive to get to our destination, I'm packing the car but as a woman, I can't be expected to pack the car PROPERLY according to FIL so they are coming to 'help'. The last time FIL packed the car, he broke my camping chairs by throwing the suitcase on top of them and squashing the food into a 3in space that he had left. It's also my husbands birthday , so as we have both been working, in-laws have decided that we are going out for lunch while I'm trying to pack the car, make sure dd has everything and having a small breakdown!! And breathe

When you mention you have had a bad experience with a (not a local company; a national one) and theres always someone who doesn't deal with the same branch and says "I don't get your issue. I've dealt with them and had no problems"

That picture looks like she's trying to blow across the phone to get a musical note out of it. 😅

Has it already been suggested that you stop the dishwasher and put it on a short cycle?

I have a child with special needs and what really gets me is the comments like "oh I don't know how you do it" and "I don't think I could do that" ???? Then what would you do?! "Not sure I'd be able to deal with that every day" ...well you'd bloody have to if it was your child!!

When I’m just about to reverse out of a parking space and someone pulls into the parking space next to me then pulls in and out about 3 or 4 times while I’m sat there waiting to reverse out.

When I have just got back in the car from being inside a shop and I’m parked on a road just about to set off and then someone pulls up and parks right In front of me stopping me from pulling out and blocking my view!!!
