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 🤣

"The Andrex and deodorant adverts. I have no desire to see crotches and arses in close up."

I had the unpleasant experience of seeing that deodorant advert on the big screen at my local cinema, sweaty crotches et al. I'm still traumatised now.

The fact that everytime I open any website I have to set my Cookie preferences before I can use the site. I get the logic behind it but it is very much using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!

My 15:year old DD has nails that are neither long nor painted, but she still hoiks her sleeves over her hands, and worse still, pokes holes in the cuffs so she can noodle on her phone! Kids! 😡

I'm Scottish, and draw is pronounced differently to drawer.

Drawer has a very audible 'r' at the end of it, whereas draw doesn't?

1. The phrase ‘them books’.
2. People driving in the middle lane slowly.
3. My neighbour putting my bin out before I’m ready (not finished filling) then moving it back while I’m out at work and lining it up backwards.
4. My other neighbour who take in parcels but never give them back.
5. The caravan that did 26mph in front of me downhill on a 60mph road today and then kept braking!

I drive a Fiat and I get so annoyed by other cars 'cat fishing' me! Lol.

My rage this weekend has been to do with work and having to reapply to work there in September!

I’m sorry, but no. Any accent pronouncing the “er” is incorrect. There’s a right way of saying it, and it’s one syllable only.

You are inhabiting the wrong world. “Drawer” has one syllable! Oh my god I most definitely feel pure rage right now at the thought of people going around pronouncing the “er” thinking they’re saying it right!

Nope.

"Saying right"

You wot now? 🤷‍♀️

I.e. I wouldn't criticise people's accents while mangling the English language myself, if I were you.

People who walk at a snails pace 3 or 4 abreast taking up the whole pavement and you can’t get past them without stepping out onto the road.
Fingerprints on computer screens that are not touch screens. No need for it( in my opinion)
Leaving one square of toilet paper on the roll. Why?
People standing on a busy bus or train who won’t move towards the back so others can get on.

Omg I’m stealing the trolley buffer zone idea! Thank you! Haha. Like just get the fuck AWAY from me if I don’t know you! 😂

Haha the irony of your edit 😂 You’ve given me a good chuckle before bed. Have a good night!

When people talk to me through a yawn. Or carry on talking through a yawn. It drives me mad!

People who called covid 'COVID-19'.

So unnecessary. We've only had one covid so drop the 19 snd why the capitals?! Particularly, when people refer to it as COVID-19 multiple times in the same passage.

I know Iabu but it drives me mad.

People who yap incessantly on their mobile phones during coach journeys

People who smoke right in the doorway to shops, restaurants etc

People who insist on waiting until they have packed every last bit of their shopping before searching in their bag for their purse to pay

Cyclists who hold up traffic on busy roads by cycling in the road instead of on the cycle track that runs right alongside.

Oh god yes. I was on a train back in April I think, and this woman was sniffing really loudly about once a minute (but irregularly). It was constant. I don’t know how she could stand it.

i had to change seat very quickly. Thank goodness the train wasn’t busy.

People who walk straight out of shops onto the pavement without looking, and don't even notice that they've made you stop. I bet they're the same people who do pull out from junctions without looking, when driving.
Ooh, I could crush a grape! 🤔😀

Oh, please do it! I've got about 90 examples in my head already!

You live in Hartlepool then? 😂

Nope what?

People holding their phone perpendicular to the ear. Never necessary. Not even for voicenotes. You look stupid. Keep it flat to your ear you twat.

People who post on Facebook seeking some sort of advice and start their post with “Bit of a strange one,” or “Bit of a random one,” and whatever they’re posting is neither strange or random and just some banal nonsense. I don’t know why but it enrages me.

Sanctimonious people with non-rhotic English accents who think that their way of pronouncing words is the only correct way to speak. It might be in your corner of little England, hen, but it's not in everyone's.
