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?

My son holding his poop when he is clearly in pain keeping it in (it's soft) . Just fucking poooo

Vehicies parked on the pavement, meaning we have to walk on the road. Especially when I have a pushchair with me.
Scum bag kids/teens giving our front door a boot everytime they walk past - and their parents not giving a shit.
People who don't say thank you if you hold the door open for them (and lack of manners in general).

When there are no more parking spaces, you see someone get into their car to leave and they fart around for ages before they actually pull out.

Oh, and people who wait until all their shopping is scanned through and put away before they get their damn purses out.

Second this. Same age DDs. Why?! Infuriating

Eggs peels more easily if you haven’t kept them in the fridge.

I only use the short cycle for dishes, the long cycles only go one when I’m putting a dishwasher cleaner through

Therapy speak

People (and unfortunately I have to say it seems to be a Mum thing not a Dad thing) getting involved in their children's petty squabbles with their mates. It absolutely enrages me.

If it's not dangerous keep out of it. You are not only stunting your child's development but you also look absolutely pathetic when the DC are invariably friends again the next day.

Brexshit
The tories
Boris fucking de pfeffle johnson
And liz truss can get in the bin too
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

The port town I live in is currently gridlocked with traffic. This is not news, it happens on the first day of every school holidays. Yes, I get that it's frustrating.

But leaning on your car horn is not going to get the traffic moving any faster, it;s been going on outside my house since about 6am and I can't even sit in the back garden because it's pissing down. Just SHUT UP.

I've never watched The Apprentice, but is that where the thing of having the phone on speaker all the time comes from?

If it's that, it is quite annoying, but I always have a bit of a chuckle as it's clear that the people who do it have no idea that it makes them look like utter twats.

And @Lwrenagain , I agree with at least half of yours!

Also, forgot the main one as it's hugely relevant for me (I'm having a clear out) at the moment.

When selling things on marketplace:

People asking how much? (Its on the listing)
People asking would I post? (No. Its on the listing - no posting, collection only)
People asking to buy individual items out of the bundle (No. Its on the listing - selling as a bundle, will not seperate)
People asking if I will save something until a week on Tuesday when they get paid (Again, refer to the listing - been burnt before by 'saving' things so it's first come first served).
People asking if the item is still available, I say yes, they don't reply.
People saying they want it, we arrange a time, I give them my address, and they don't show up.

Fills me with fury on a daily basis as I put every detail possible on the listing to avoid such questions.

Why not just restart it on an eco or short cycle??

Perfectly fit and able bodied people walking through the automatic doors instead of the manual ones while people in wheelchairs or with buggies fucking have to wait ! Boils my piss every time.

Also fit, able bodied people not giving buggies/wheelchairs 'priority' in a bloody lift/elevator too ! Despite the polite signage asking them to ! Ignorant, selfish bastards !

My DH telling me that he'll be back within 3 hours but it's now been more like 6.
He's gone to do an activity with the kids and I'm sat in the back of a van waiting for them to come back. I'd bugger off somewhere but I'm in a foreign country and I'm not overly confident at driving on the wrong side of the road; especially in a large vehicle.

I'm hungry, tired, hot (apologies to those where it's raining) and my mouth is drier than the Sahara desert. I am pissed off!

He does this a lot- says things will be a lot shorter than they actually will be. Winds me up no end.

1. When driving and you give way to someone and it causes you an inconvenience and they dont do the thank you wave. It makes me wish I could rewind time and not let them through
2. Printers. Moody, whiny needy little bitches always whinging about toner or paper or cyan ink or errors or not working just because its a Tuesday
3. People who dont read your emails properly, asking for information thats IN THE FIRST FCKING EMAIL, causing me to use the arsey phrase "as per my previous email" and "regards" instead of "kind regards"
4. People who say "skellington" instead of skeleton

My husband chewing gum, loudly. Or flicking his pen on and off.

It doesn’t give me the rage, but the endless use of ‘boundaries’ on here is pretty irritating. I enjoyed this article from the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/13/jonah-hill-texts-therapy-speak-therapist-boundaries and this:
‘psychotherapist India Haylor says she is noticing a wider trend of boundaries becoming “misappropriated demands or ultimatums masquerading as ‘boundaries’”.* *“Healthy boundaries tend to be broader, more flexible, inclusive and respectful and will include propositions such as gratitude, open communication, space and honesty,” she says. “I would also suggest that they are, above all, requests and not demands.”’ On here, they often sound like electric fences around peoples’ lives.

But to answer the question.....

Packaging!!!! Is it just my sausage fingers getting old, or is pretty much anything impossible to get into nowadays? I get the hump with excessive packaging anyway, and when you can't get at the contents because of it, it really makes my head wobble.

Vacuum packed produce is the worst (bacon etc.), especially with the little bit in the corner that they tease you with - that you're meant to be able to lift up and peel back. Grrr!

I had a glass bottle of cordial recently that I had to take back to the store - not one person in our house could open it, even the pliers got involved!

@Hungrycaterpillarsmummy

My son holding his poop when he is clearly in pain keeping it in (it's soft) . Just fucking poooo

I thought you meant LITERALLY holding his poo 😂😂😂

People parking in Blue Badge spaces when they don't have a blue badge.
(and, there are far fewer BB spaces now as many have become electric spaces)

People who don't control their dogs / pick up their faeces.
I'm a dog owner, & disabled, & I manage. It's not hard.

Gifting/gifted

Ffs it's just giving like it's always been.

Parents who moan about adult celebrities being adults instead of being a parent and explaining that adults can do things children and teens can’t due to their ages.

Not emptying the dish rack when the dishes are dry and putting wet dishes on top from the sink and/or dishwasher. Not putting things in the empty dishwasher and instead just leaving it on the side of the sink when the dishwasher is directly to the left of the sink.

Not putting the toilet lid down. Don’t care what you do in your own home but in mine, it stays down and you flush the toilet, don’t care what time of day or night it is. I don’t want to smell anyone’s wee when I’m going to the loo.

People buying me gifts when I have said not to. I really do mean it and it’s for both of our sakes. I, thank you because it’s the polite thing to do but I am not grateful for it or think it’s the thought that counts when I have declined and one chooses to ignore it.

Tbh at the moment everything everywhere all at once but to narrow it down

people who get off tube escalators and stop dead so you cannon straight into them

handles that catch on pockets

the lack of dresses with pockets - not withstanding the above

DH always, & I mean always, leaving cupboards/drawers/doors open. Go to the cupboard take out what you want & close the fucking door! It’s not hard

people taking their dogs everywhere especially when they seem unable to comprehend that stretching the lead across the pavement/door means no one else can get past

work - all of it all the time but especially internal meetings with no purpose which turn into whinge sessions.

that in the 21st century we’re having to fight to retain the definition of woman as an adult human female
