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 🤣

Men who immediately whip off their tops at the merest hint of heat/sun. Chavtastic. I was delighted to see signs in the supermarkets some years ago saying ‘No shirt, no service’ or similar.

Only recently have I noticed cyclists in the cycle lane going the wrong way on my commute to work. Yeah, it’s a cycle lane, no, I don’t think you should be going in the opposite direction to the traffic!

Oh God yes, men wearing no shirt in the middle of town.

I also hate bad tattoos (which most are).

Someone driving into the parking space you taxed in your head! Especially when it was the last free one.

Same and women who wear short shorts that show camel toe.

Yet idioms such as these are hugely encouraged in my subject-languages-at school. ‘Complex language’, apparently.

Windchimes

People who sit on the inside seat on trains and put their bag on the other seat and only move it when you say is anyone sitting there? Which is actually code for move your bag you ignorant twat.

The latest toilet trend at school is students using the hand dryer at length in order to cover the noise of a friend peeing. Honestly gives me the absolute rage. If I’m on lunch duty, I stop them. What a ridiculous waste of electricity!

Sun's oot, taps aff.

That was a trend in the 90s!

Was it? I didn't notice, there were never loos near my room, I guess. Now I have some almost directly opposite, little bit noisy!

I have a new one. Share house with DH and two DS. The dishcloth being left next to the sink with whatever is was used for last still within 😠 just rinse it out and leave it clean…..They seem to be learning.

There is a Next sale on. I know this because they have texted me three times and emailed me twice. Even if I wanted to buy something from them, I wouldn’t because they have been so bloody persistent.

Because she “doesn’t need them”?

Are we married to the same man, @qotsa? Dh does give the dishcloth a rinse but then dumps it in the bit in between the sink and the draining board, where it doesn’t dry out - it just festers and goes slimy. Thanks to my health issues I don’t do much housework now, but I used to point out to him that if he rinsed the dishcloth in really hot water, rang it out well, then put it over the edge of the draining rack, it would dry out, and would stay cleaner for longer.

I’ve given up now.

The letter X. It's pointless in almost all circumstances. The phonics sheets coming home saying x is for explosion prove this. No, e is for explosion. X is for xylophone, which is pronounced with a zoom sound instead. Could just use ks in tbe middle of words instead.

Dp who will slowly meander round every aisle of the supermarket when we only need 3 things. Get in, zoom round and get out again!

When I buy something online…..

Email saying they’ve got my order
Email saying they’re processing my order
Email saying they have handed my order to the delivery company
Email from the delivery company saying they’re expecting my package
Email from the delivery company saying they’ve got my package and they’ll tell me when it’s out for delivery
Email from the delivery company saying my package is at their hub
Email from the delivery company saying my package is out for delivery and will be with me between 13.03 and 14.03 and offering me multiple options to rearrange and/or offer a safe place
Text from the delivery company saying my package is out for delivery and will be with me between 13.03 and 14.03 and offering me multiple options to rearrange and/or offer a safe place
Email from the delivery company telling me they have delivered my package
Email from the retailer asking me to review my purchase (I haven’t even unpack the blasted thing yet)
Email from the delivery company asking me to rate their delivery.
And on, and on, and on…….

I had this exactly!
Email saying that my order has been dispatched ( giving my address as the delivery)
Email saying that the delivery will be made on Thursday (yesterday) to my address

This morning got an email saying they will deliver today to my address ( actually today Friday) between 5.30-6.30pm by DHL

Then an email saying it has been delivered.

Point being, if its from DHL just wait for notification for a delivery slot.

I waited in all day yesterday as it was something valuable and it came today in the time slot they had given! Still, I'm glad I can relax now 😂

At the same time, it annoys me when someone doesn’t pronounce the letter x in luxury, instead saying ‘lugsury’ taking away the luxury of actually pronouncing the letter x!

delivery drivers who bang on the glass front door like the place is on fire. make you jump ten feet in the air then when you rush to the door they have left it in our parcel box. sure they will break the glass one day! enough people say they do not knock well i wish ours did not.

If said friend was taking a dump.it was definitely a thing

Even when there’s a doorbell/knocker.

I fear for our glass too!!

My mum and dad forget to charge theirs. They say they prefer the quiet. An absolute pain when you're in a restaurant trying to have a quiet chat.

And "Bregsit".

People who said Bregzit shouldn't have had their vote counted.

X is produced ECKS, not EGGS.
