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?

Half of mumsnet gives me the rage when i can't post you fucking liar/idiot etc cos I'd get banned

So i sit on my hands

My NDN but one who has the loudest voice I’ve ever heard in my life and no concept of The Clock. She turfs her kids outside at 6.10am and then stands in the back doorway conversing at them in her shouty voice. Naturally they are also foghorns so they shout back.

Then her husband rocks up and she starts shout talking to him too.

I have mentioned to her that I can hear her family quite early but she’s not remotely bothered. Drives me fucking nuts.

Restaurants have kitchens, in those kitchens there are lots and lots of sharp knives. So there is really NO FUCKING EXCUSE for leaving the stringy tails on green beans and carrots and or the tufty leaf ends on carrots. I don’t care if the restaurant executive chef thinks it looks better, they aren’t the ones having to faff about re prepping cooked vegetables.

Catching your sleeves on the handle of the door.
Just happened and now I'm annoyed 🤣

When people reply to me on social media and can't be arsed to spell my name properly. It's right in front of them! And the amount of people who don't read and ask questions already answered.

Serving your food in 80 separate dishes so that you spend ages tipping all on the one plate they come stacked on so you can eat it properly. Stupid and makes so much unnecessary washing up and weightlifting for the servers and staff.

Books arranged by colour. I will judge!

some of our local charity shops arrange the clothes by colour. apparently customers like it.....

People jabbering away on their phones, often with the other person on loudspeaker, drives me insane. Today, 4 people did this on the bus.

My neighbours screeching grandkids who were out until 9PM tonight.,

People who faff around on public transport. Blocking the exit and generally getting in the way. Just. Sit. Down.

People who persist in letting their un-recall dogs off the lead who then chase and bark at my 4 year old who is now petrified of chasey barky dogs and then state how friendly their dogs are and get shirty when the obvious is stated. The toothy loud dog is twice the size of the child no wonder they are now petrified of dogs.

My well off friend often says she "chucks money at the situation". She was having some issues with wedding planning and said "I just chucked a load of money at it".

I think it's crass, tasteless and not very self aware

Uninvolved dads.

I hate how there's a socially acceptable get out clause for men.

I had a bloke tell me recently "I'm not with my Mrs any more but I still see the kids every two weeks" he said it as if he was PROUD. They live 5 minutes away. Two weeks is a fucking joke.

My friend's ex brings their son home early on his one weekend a month that he has him, "because he's bored" well fucking entertain him then!!

None of this applies to me, I am happily married to my kids' father. But I am so annoyed on behalf of so many women, and yes, it is 99% women who are left with the responsibility.

That’s an unstealthy boast 😂 I wouldn’t enjoy friendship with someone that boastful and unaware.

DH blithely issuing orders for the DC as he waltzes off for the day. I don't mind him spending time on the (statutory mystery) hobby, but don't make me be the one telling adults how to spend their Saturday, and don't moan about how they performed their allocated tasks when you return.
Especially when I wanted them to do things for me instead.

My DSS getting everything he wants and my ex coming to me to borrow. I'm not a fucking bank.

I’ve posted about this before, so apologies, but goddam noisy cars. My evening has been ruined by boy racers with modified exhausts that screech and explode. The noise goes right through the house. I can hear them even with the windows closed and the TV on.

I hate it when I’m outside and a noisy motorbike goes past. It blasts every thought out of my head. What is wrong with those things? Are they manufactured like that or modified by boy racers? Either way, they’re horrible.

Sweeping generalisations, especially about the population of a whole country.

Utterly ridiculous and ignorant.

Is that in response to the post about the French?

Ha! Yes!

That reminded me how much that kind of thing annoys me.

Thought so. I sat on my hands.

There's a 60mph road on my way to work (not a tiny country road but a proper long open road). Without fail, every single day, someone will pootle down the road at 40mph. It's hard to overtake as there are several junctions and shops meaning cars might b joining, and a few hills with solid white lines. It's annoys the crap out of me. I'm not even speeding, just want to do the speed limit

I'm with you on the doing the speed limit thing. Now Wales is set to be 20mph everywhere next month which of course means people doing 15 mph.... JOY

Oh my god that drives me insane! And it’s always someone who’s pulled out in front of me so I have to brake hard and slow right down to crawl behind them, when there was nothing behind me and they could have let me pass first.
