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 🤣

A friend on every single Instagram post ended with “Just thought I’d share” . Every single one.

I messaged her and suggested she didn’t need to add that as sharing on Instagram showed she’d thought to share. She stopped doing it for many years and has recently started again.

Other drivers.

I never claimed to have perfect English. I was simply pointing out the irony of laying claim to the "correct" pronunciation of a word, while using very obviously incorrect grammar in that same sentence. FWIW I pronounce "drawer" the same as "draw" myself, but as an English person who's been living in Scotland for twenty-nine years, I'm well aware that not everyone does. We have a wealth of regional dialects throughout the U.K. and I don't think any one of them is "right" or "wrong".

Coasters sticking to the bottom of my mug or glass as I raise it to drink, then falling off and rolling under the table or across the room.

Makes me furious and I'll snarl: "Yeah fuck you too!" or suchlike, quite irrationally.

Just remembered another thing that really annoys me. People who say 'from the get go' what's wrong with saying 'from the start or the beginning'

That' new lynx advert is so unnecessarily graphic! Like the sanitary towel adverts! Now they have to pour red liquid on them....just incase a women doesn't know exactly what colour blood is. But thinking of it now as I write, maybe it's for men who think they're women. Just so they don't think it's a nappy! 🤣

Thank you! I do… a little 😅

I’m Scottish too and totally agree.
Draw and drawer are definitely pronounced differently.

When my dogs stand on the back of my Slippers following me around at feeding time (or the hour before) drives me mental! DH thinks its hilarious 😂 the dick.

When posters use the term unmumsnetty hug! It's worse than the give your head a wobble.

People who stand at the door on the tube and won’t move along - I could kill

This sends me over the edge but at the moment everything does😬

A man I know calls me gorgeous at the end of every sentence do not think he has ever said my name. Should be flattered? No I want to strangle him I am going to flip on him one day.

Could of, would of , should of. I know it's my problem, language evolves etc, but it really annoys me.

This is so ignorant and elitist. The majority of Scots would say drawer pronouncing the r at the end. English people mostly have non rhotic accents, but most Scots, Americans, Canadians and the Irish have rhotic accents. Both are fine. You clearly don't get out much if you haven't picked up on this.

Marketing emails that start ‘Hello lovely…’. AGGH! Fuck off!!

Joining a FB group about a specific topic to get support, hints and guidance only for several people to use it as their own personal journal with several daily selfies and an hourly run down of their their kids’ boring ‘antics’ (in a candle making group for example)

Or autism or dementia

Food packaging that's made to sound human. "Heat me up and I'm good to go" or "Shake me up and keep me in the fridge". Or some such nonsense.

Good job turning a lighthearted joke post into toxic culture war nonsense. I am aware people have different accents. I was following the theme of the thread i.e. lighthearted and joking about what gives you “rage”.

Try not to take everything so seriously and turn something fun into something toxic. There was absolutely no need to bring culture wars and insults into play.

Utterly rational and reasonable, @BeanQuisine - I do exactly the same thing!

’Draw’ is one syllable with a vowel, ‘er’ is the second syllable with a vowel @GoodOldTrayBake We all need to get over to Pedants Corner.

People who stop immediately when they get off an escalator and then look baffled when you walk into the back of them!

@Backtoreality1 I use lifts now due to limited mobility, but that used to infuriate me when using escalators back in my more mobile days. Get out the fucking way you idiot!

Oh brilliant - for some reason it just so gets my heckles up - if you try it you will see how disoriented the space invaders get when the trolley buffer zone is in play - at the supermarket I keep it there too while I’m packing so I CAN BE THE ONE STANDING IN FRONT of cashier to pay when it’s my shopping being paid for!! The trolley holds my space while I pack!!

they don’t like it those space invaders!! I find petrol station & Dunhelm queues to pay the worst

I once learnt on a training that apparently we are not weird, there is something in the back of our necks/heads that watches out for danger and that’s what gets stimulated when people invade our space - to do with cave women times and danger

I cannot thank you enough for this!

I secretly hate the term "pre-warn" for the same reason.
