To wish I had keyed this fucknugget's car?

Woke up with a sore, scratchy throat this morning and no cold remedies left in the house, so braved the crowds at my local Sainsbury's to stock up. I mention this because I wouldn't choose to shop on Christmas Eve unless absolutely necessary.

Came back to my car, and this prize dickhead had totally blocked me in. Waited for 10mins in the cold and drizzle and the fuckwit didn't even apologise. Said I could've squeezed in if I'd tried. Then tried to blame his (because of course it was a fucking man), shit parking on the car on the other side.

Disclaimer: I would never actually do such a thing. I have been brought up better than that, and the thought never even entered my head at the time. I'm just fantasising about it now, as I'm sat here nursing a lemsip.

Feel free to get your own festive rage off your chest here

My festive rage is directed at my BIL, who is still unable to spell my name correctly. After 20 years.
( And yes, it's a very easy, common, 5 letter English name)
I swear he does it as a power thing.

My MIL does this. I share a name with her daughter. It is definitely a power thing.

Someone parked across our driveway this morning despite the fact that there was a half empty car park across the road.

My festive rage is directed at the flu, which will not fuck off and leave me be so I can enjoy Christmas. It is fucking relentless and I'm on about day 10 now, still coughing violently and my swallowing razor blades. Merry fucking Christmas to me 😭

Neighbours down the road allowed the tradesman working on their house to block the access road again. They're so bad at this that I bought fake penalty charge notices on eBay and slap one on whenever it happens. They don't give a toss of course but it makes me feel better.

ThewrathofBethDutton · 24/12/2024 19:42

Nope, no festive rage here but would like to thank you most sincerely for the gift of the word “FUCKNUGGET”

This shall grace my vocabulary in the year of 2025 frequently and often..
Bloody brilliant!

I had an extreme amount of rage directed at the potato masher today. It decided on Christmas Eve to break at the point where the masher meets the handle. It’s clearly a git, that is determined to spoil my Christmas .

Can you block them in next time, and then go out?

I considered it but there's another access point so they could get out that way and leave me blocking everyone. It's a PITA though because it requires a U-turn on a busy main road, two right turns and unlocking a gate.

No such thing as a cold remedy, lemsip is a total con.

It’s such inconsiderate behaviour, I feel your frustration! Hate this sort of thing.

Oh, please start mangling their names back! You must be able to think of something!

A bit of a rant - my new boss insinuated he didn’t was me to book time off over Xmas apart from the bank holidays (last one in so obviously left carrying the duty post over Xmas fair enough). 4pm Christmas Eve insisted I book various days so I’m not left with loads to take in Q4 !
So all of a sudden I’m off for the next fortnight with literally nowhere to go. Pleb.

mumda · 24/12/2024 20:14

honey and lemon / satsuma /clementine with hot water.
Add whisky if you're not driving.

Tabbyandwhite · 24/12/2024 20:26

The season does bring out selfish and unfestive behaviour!

My rant is I was shopping yesterday. I needed to cross the road so pressed the button for the green man to come on. When it did I obviously crossed.

This miserable scrooge driving a truck decided to show his frustration by beeping me for having the audacity to press the green man that he had to stop at (which I obviously had to, in order to cross, and he wasn't the only vehicle that had to legally stop). Massive loud klaxon out of nowhere startled me.

I didn't rise to it. So I hope you choke on your sprouts, you miserable, vile man!!! And any one else whose a total t*sser also - I hope you don't have a Merry Christmas or Happy New Year, Karma :-)

Electric whisk should work.

the hot drink ones are helpful though.

That’s not true

Yes nothing is really going to kill the cold virus other than your own immune system in time.

And ‘cough medicines’ are of limited efficacy.

But for a cold, the combo of paracetamol, caffeine and a decongestant can definitely help you feel better from your symptoms.

Barney16 · 24/12/2024 20:57

Christmas rage directed at my cake, which is for boxing day knees up and which is FLAT. Been making cakes for 40 years and never a flatter cake have I surveyed. Im going to cut it into squares and it is going pretend it's a tray bake

Not a remedy as in cure, no. But remedy as in reduces symptoms? Definitely works.

Nooo don't whisk potatoes, they turn into wallpaper paste. Ask me how I know. Your best bet is a fork, or push them through a colander.

I physically couldn't do this , I'd dislocate something !

I'd have to wait till they came back .
Someone blocked me in a work , when they eventually came along to shift I was standing there eating a bag of crisps and thinking Bad Thoughts , they didn't even give me time of day Xmas Hmm

Newname71 · 24/12/2024 21:20

My rage was at DH. I’ve basically “done” Christmas. I’ve bought all the gifts, wrapped all the gifts, done the food and booze shop. He finished work on Friday yet I was the knob running round after work yesterday to get the last few bits. I couldn’t get about 4 things so wrote him a list and asked him to go today….he pulled a face and fucking moaned!! Moaned about having to go to one shop for 4 items!! I didn’t have to say anything, the look on my face was enough to have him dashing out the door to the shop! Lazy, useless fucker!

Orphlids · 24/12/2024 21:26

Ah, interesting to see PPs mention their in-laws purposefully misspelling their names on the Christmas cards. My SIL dislikes me so much she addresses the card to my DH “and family”. 😂 We’ve been together for sixteen years and she simply cannot bring herself to acknowledge me by name! I look forward to her annual card more than any other.
