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?

Pissy corners to the steps to my local beach both dog and human... no rain for ages has exacerbated the problem. I hold my nose until I can see the sea... surprised some dog owners don't dab it on their wrists...

The neighbours opposite me. I just don't understand them.
I had to double check on streetview satellite view today, just to make sure, and yes, just as I thought they do indeed have an absolutely massive back garden.

So WHY do they feel the need to stand at the end of their driveway with their barks ducking dog, on a lead, all the bloody time? All day long? Not only does the fecking thing bark at everything, starting at 6:30am but it must be sooo boring for them. They stand there for absolutely ages, just looking out into the street, no phone or anything. Why are they not out the back with a glass of wine or a book or something? Whhhy would you choose to stand at your gate at the end of your drive instead of stand in a nice big back garden???
I can only presume they do it for attention. Look at us! We have a dog! Everyone stop and chat to us.
Those bloody horrible tacky flashing gigantic coloured lights they put up every Christmas confirms it for me tbh. Definitely attention seekers. Flash flash flash like there's a fecking ambulance outside while I am trying to enjoy my baileys. Grrrr piss off.

People who never stop talking about Christmas. It’s only mid-September and I have already seen people asking if it’s too early to put up a bloody tree.

Do what you like in your own home but please STFU about it until after Remembrance Day. Stop wishing your life away.

Omg this

And November tree people.

NOVEMBER IS STILL AUTUMN!!!

People who brag on FB and social media look at me look at me crap
People taking constant selfies of themselves on FB daily with Said bragging posts
People who like to copy you
oddly enough my sil is all of these things 🙄 but yeh people like that ....

People who hurt wildlife and animals

I find that odd and a bit of a bore, but it doesn't give me the rage. What DOES give me the rage is if people wish me a 'white Christmas'. Snow round here makes paths and pavements slippery and treacherous, and due to disabilities I can't manage icy paths safely, so I become housebound. So it's like wishing me a prison sentence! In any case, I doubt that it was snowing in Bethlehem.

Literally everything to do with estate agents.

Estate agents who ignore your viewing request/offer - sorry to you not want to sell the house??

Estate agents who phone you once at 11am on a weekday and act shocked and affronted that you don't answer, while simultaneously saying they can't entertain offers from anyone not in full time employment.

Estate agents who insist on not using any form of communication other than the phone. Get into the 21stC mate!!

Unrelated:

People who assume that I'm my mate's carer just because he uses a wheelchair and I don't. Nope just two mates out together.

People who think that everything anyone else does is for the sole purpose of impressing them. "Ohh my sister in law bought a new car, she just does it to try to impress me, snobby cow." Or "oh her next door swans past with her designer handbag swinging from her arm, why does she work so hard to show off to me?" Like who the fuck are you that anyone would give a shit about impressing you. I'd bet money none of those people are thinking about you at all. Just sheer narcissism.

Everything!

People who stop at the bottom of the stairs/entrance to the platform on the tube. They've either got loads of suitcases or are in a group with friends and just chat and get in the way whilst I'm trying to get to work!

OMG I feel rage just reading this! Reminds me of one of the couples in my street ... They had a baby (now a year and a half old,) and her name is Millie. He is OK,, but SHE (the mum,) keeps calling her 'Milky Moo Moo' as a nickname, and crying out 'awww milky Millie,' and 'mee mee moo, my little Milkie angel.'

WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK?

I die a little bit inside every time I hear her say it! 😫

And yes to the fucking annoying 'YAY IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMAS' fuckers !

It's SEPTEMBER you fuckwad. We still have a holiday to come yet - next couple of weeks, and a mid Autumn wedding, and Halloween and Bonfire night, and 3 birthdays of close family members. All before the end of October. Fuck off with Christmas. I don't want to KNOW until after Halloween.

I like Christmas, but FFS, it's September. Get a grip!

Or just after the ticket barrier so you're trapped in no man's land..

Ships putting seasonal tat up months early. November will be when Easter Eggs are in stock...

Fashion - just why? Adds to the throwaway culture. Just buy stuff you like and wear until it falls apart.

Smoking anything - again, why?

I agree and I’d add - shops playing Christmas music early. I actively avoid the shops as much as possible from October to mid December as I can’t stand it. If Christmas songs were only played for a week or two each year it would be fine!

Seen on another thread and I'm sitting on my hands

"I asked DH and he said..."

people who keep parking on the yellow zig-zag lines outside the high flats - they are painted there for a reason. its not necessarily the same people doing it but everytime i look out the window there isat least one car parked on the zig-zags, its people being lazy as it is right in front of the main entrance!!!!!!!

Rape apologists, female ones especially. 😠

When I run the country, Cmas music will be banned until 10th December

Hear hear!

And adults who 'get excited' for it in November. Seriously, who is coming down your chimney? Enjoy it, fine, but talking about how excited you are makes me seriously wonder what is lacking in your brain or your life.

People that throw litter from their car windows when they're driving along. The expectation that some other poor mug will tidy up after them. Makes me rage!

There's a house opposite me and it's navy,all navy.
And it gives me so much rage when I pass it.
It's so not needed but it bugs the shit out of me.

Oh no that's grotesque, I'm surprised you don't end up projectile vomiting when they start talking 🤐

I've got one: people who react to being challenged or disagreed with by just making up absolutely insane lies to attack the other person out of thin air.

This happens in real life occasionally but it seems to happen all the time on Mumsnet nowadays, and it's just so freaky.

I can't count how many times I've seen (and it's happened both to me and to others) conversations that go like this:
Person 1: I believe X.
Person 2: I strongly disagree with you, I believe Y.
Person 1: I am disgusted that Person 1 brags that they torture hamsters for fun!

And it's like... you've literally just invented that out of thin air? The word "hamster" doesn't even appear once in this thread? And the argument had nothing to do with hamsters, or animal rights, or pets, or anything related to hamsters?

I don't know why it gives me the rage so much -- I think because it just feels like playing dirty. Ugh, I hate liars so much.

The word "naice"
Does my head in

What gives me the rage? The fact that I’m sitting near in noise cancelling earphones to shut out the screeching and exploding sound of boy racer cars. They woke me up twice last night, and they’ll wake me up again tonight. The police do FA about it, in spite of numerous complaints. They race around the country lanes near me, with souped up engines, and modified exhausts that pop and crackle and bang. I’m SICK of it.
