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 🤣

I never sneeze less than three times in a row, that’s my normal number. I didn’t even realise I sneezed loudly until my son asked why I was such a loud sneezer (had no idea).

"I never sneeze less than three times in a row, that’s my normal number."

Lightweight! 😉

When people don’t put their weights away after their done at the gym
Our intern responds with ‘huh’ rather than ‘pardon’ or ‘please can you repeat that?’ It reminds me of my 4 year old and the urge not to correct the intern is hard

It is an art, learned and perfected, even with a suitcase in hand.

When women wear those long sleeved, baggy tops they pull over their hands and you can only see their long, manicured fingernails. And they are holding on to those sleeves with their fingers so it’s not like the sleeves just randomly hang over the hands, they actually hide their hands on purpose. Is it like a security blanket thing or something? I don’t actually notice this on normal, natural, short nails, but the stupid, manicured, long witch-like nails peeping out just irritates me for some reason.

Ground = outdoors
Floor = indoors

😂 Sounds about right! 😆

Thansk Doggie!

Ohhh. Never seen that! Will go look!

I think it might be fair to say though, that the people with vagina/uterus/breasts, vulva, and people who menstruate is said a lot more though. (I hear it more anyway.)

Where do you suggest moving the baby bump to?

*saw.

No you're not. The performative sneezers have me grinding my teeth. 😬

Like I said, it's an art. Some have it, some don't. Don't take it personally.

People who don’t understand how filter/zipper lanes work.

Posters on Mumsnet who are unnecessarily rude, and take overt offence to just about everything.

People who call an ambulance for non emergent ailments/injuries, because “if you go in by ambulance you’ll be seen quicker” - no you fucking won’t! If there’s not much wrong with you, you’ll wait just as long as anyone else in the same triage category as you, no matter how you/they came in, or be sent to the waiting room (and if you can wait, be thankful, it generally means you’re not dying!)

The fact that Mumsnet does now not capitalise your sentence when you return onto a new line of text.

People who say they are “a bit OCD” (if they, for example, bleach their toilet every day), or “that gave me PTSD” (after something happened that left them shaken up).

Hmm, maybe I’m just in a bit of a ranting mood today. 🥴

I consider myself well bollocked!

Sorry tesicled.

The new advert for Pepto-Bismol, with the jaunty song and dance demonstrating the different gastrointestinal conditions it treats, including diarrhoea. It is an awful ear-worm, and no-one needs to see a ‘cute’ dance move demonstrating diarrhoea.

I was sat/I was stood instead of Sitting/Standing.

People pushing the bin right up to the wall so that when you press the pedal, the lid bangs the wall and damages the paintwork. That floor space is for the bin, it's fine for it to stand off the wall a bit.

'Hybred' car

'I did it off my own back': no, off your own BAT. It's a cricket analogy, scoring runs yourself rather than just racking them up because your batting partner is hitting them.

'Ibrufen' tablets

Licking fingers

People parking cars at garages with the driver door front level with the pump. You are now going to have to stretch all the way back to your fuel tank. Even more criminal on a small forecourt as you block the space behind. Drive up to your fuel tank being level with the pump!

People saying 'girls' when they mean women. Especially used for women working in an office, for some reason.

'a myriad of'. Myriad means 'many', so the a and of are redundant and infuriating.

It originally meant ten thousand, "A myriad things," is OK, but I agree with not using of. We say a hundred, a thousand, a million things etc.

Or worse, Donald’s.

Artifical scent added to product. I've just bought some cheap all in one dishwasher capsules and the whole of the ground floor of my admittedly small house now smells.

You are so right. Imagine that on your CV - "I was diarrhoea man in an advert" 😂

I agree and I have said the same thing to others!

Being the diarrhoea man in an advert must give him the rage 😂

Interior designers giving ideas for small rooms, then show a bathroom with a walk-in shower, free standing bath, loo, double sink and space for a chair.

Kitchen with room for a sofa, six seaster table and and island.

Bedroom, king or super king bed, chair, massive wardrobe, chaise lounge and free standing mirror.

I don't bother clicking now.

-People at the supermarket that don't put the divider thing on the conveyor when they've finished adding their stuff to it

-All their shopping has been scanned through, and only then do they start faffing about looking for their loyalty card in their wallet or on their phone

-Then further faffing when they need to move money from 1 account to another. 🙄

Being asked for my email address everytime I buy something so they can send me an email receipt, no, give me a paper one!
Spit on the pavement, always bang in the middle.
People who just stop suddenly when you are walking behind them, totally oblivious.
Flies that wait till you open the door then come straight in, but never manage to fly back out!
