Silly things that give you the rage

[Ontobetterthings]

Maybe its cos I'm peri but we were out for a meal and someone was eating chicken wings and being very meticulous about using a knife and fork to eat them and very slowly. It was holding up the next course for everyone.

Do you have any examples of getting the rage over something silly 🤣

Ohhh 😄 gotcha. I’ll admit, I only read through the first 10 or so posts. I actually had a mild panic though for half a second after replying, where I thought I’d been spelling it wrong all my life and was about to look like an absolute idiot.

I really really hate this too. 😆 And yes, I have never heard ANYone say it in real life either!

Oooo I can tell you why they do this if you want

@cliffdiver

People who moan relentlessly about having a headache / cold / other minor ailment but will not take painkillers etc.

My DH does this. Moans about an ailment/being in pain (at say 2pm,) and when I say 'take some cocodomol and naproxen then' he says' I'll have them with tea. (Which is often 4 hours later!) So he sits there and 'suffers' all afternoon!

WHY?!!!! 😖

Multiple people walking in the swimming pool blocking the pool.

Urgh what annoys ME is people going 'swimming' in the local swimming baths, and standing in the shallow end, chatting away with their mate, and blocking the bloody swimming lane. For 5-10 minutes at a time. Fuck off out of the swimming pool if you're not going to swim. The clue is in the name!

Oooo I would like to know!

I had a message on a package left by EVRI, saying 'package was left securely in the porch.'

1. It was not. It was left in front of my green wheelie bin at the side of my house.

2. I do not have a porch!!!

I also can't fathom how people are saying 'draws' and 'drawers' differently.

Exactly. In British English, they're homophones.

Less than half that. I just know that he's forever grumbling about it while my own phone gives me no cause for complaint. Mine cost £100, so it's not like I buy particularly expensive phones myself.

Thank you! Not just me then!

Yes please! In honesty I always just assumed they either couldn't be bothered or just didn't want to talk to anyone - relatable 😅

Ah, fair enough. I was thinking you meant he needed to go-in for an i-phone.

Three more things I hate...

I HATE it when people say something has - or is - being 'dropped' ... instead of being released or shown.

'Sabrina's Carpenter's new single drops on the 30th of June.'

'Drop a photo of your cats on the thread.'

'The new season of Stranger Things drops on Netflix in September!'

ARGH!

'It's giving...'

Pretty young woman wears 1950s style summer dress. 'It's giving Sandy from Grease.'

Man wears leather trousers in the heat. 'It's giving Ross from Friends.'

Someone lies through their teeth and makes out the other person is imagining it... 'It's giving gaslighting.'

Pregnant people, people with uteruses, people who menstruate, people with vaginas! 😠 I never hear MEN referred to as people with penises!

.

At our house, "Left behind the wheelie bin" is delivery driver speak for could be anywhere at the front, side, back of house, on the drive, stuffed in a bunker, could be actually be behind one of our four wheelie bins, or between them, maybe even inside one! It's Hunt The Parcel time!

Right well I can only say for Amazon but prob same for Evri

the only way you can clear down a delivery without taking your phone with you to the customers door is to select the “handed to resident” category - if you select any other like wheelie bin etc you have to take a photo so need the phone

basically they are too lazy to keep removing phone from cradle in car and taking it with - or are sending a passenger to “fling” the parcel over the gate or wherever while they drive - it makes deliveries much quicker

never hear MEN referred to as people with penises!

You should google that then. One NHS site I just looked at stated "Anyone with a penis..."

• people who say 110% (there’s no such fucking thing!!!)
• backpacks worn on the front
•English shops/bars refusing Scottish bank notes
Nose pickers in cars or trains or anywhere (I could kill them)
my neighbour who reported her cleaner to the authorities because she found out she claimed benefits but who blithely a week earlier that her husband had managed to put their summer holidays through as a business expense because he had one meeting there in a fortnight - grrrrrr !
• people who talk with their mouth full

It is! It's a Gen Z word (apparently) not a misspell of biased.

people who say 110% (there’s no such fucking thing!!!)

In terms of The Apprentice candidates giving 110% (or indeed any figure over 100), I agree. But in terms of a measured increase / decrease of something, 110% would be a thing, if that was the difference.

@goingroundthebendatthisrateyes I was meaning apprentice candidates - I should have been more specific but even typing it gave me the rage 🤣

😅😄😆

You've got be thinking now though...could they really give 110%? I think it's only a matter of time when one of The Twats Apprentices says "Lord Sugar, you shouldn't fire me, I give 110% to 'evvery-fink' I do, and by that I mean I give 100% all the time and me nan comes in to help me for a couple of hours on a 'Furs-day' morning".

Guilty on both counts 🫣

If I get a chill on my arms it can trigger a fit of multiple sneezes, sometimes a dozen or more. My dad's the same; maybe it's hereditary. It certainly isn't voluntary.

Hearing or reading the words belly or meal (I will only forgive pork belly in food context). 😡

There's mostly always space in the tube though.
It's an art.

Not at rush hour on the Victoria Line. Last week guards had to get involved as people were telling the woman next to me that there was space and trying to push her further in. She was about six months pregnant so no amount of shoving is going to make that into an ‘art’
