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 🤣

Mon- Fri 9-5 type routines resulting in:

• The rush hour traffic
• The gym in the evening is packed
• Supermarkets in the evening/weekend are busy
• Everything on the weekend is busy

Just writing it gives me the rage - I work shifts and love working evenings, nights and weekends to avoid all of this. I'm on a Mon-Fri course at the moment, and the difference is stark, especially car journeys that increase from 10 mins to 30!!!! - just due to the volume of traffic due to a lot of people all doing similar things at the same time!

Push Notifications. Just stop it with your needy attention seeking!

Two factor authentication which insists on using an app which i can't unless I get a code which they won't give me if it was important like my bank I could understand but it's indeed? Why do I need so much security indeed? You have never helped me find a job why are you so important I need codes and apps to make sure it's me? And why can I not get a fucking code!

Also when two factor authentication hits and it wants to send me an email but then wants to double check my security so it sends it to my other email too so I need a code from one email address to prove that the other email address is correct then a text message it's all a bit fucking futile because it's all on THE SAME PHONE IM LITERALLY AUTHENTICATING MYSELF just to make a bot happy

The phrase "gentle reminder". It's pointless. It's just a reminder, no harm in that.

A bit like a “Polite Notice” telling you not to do something.

shirts and blouses being described as 'pop over blouse' 'pop over shirt'
I think its so annoying as it sounds so twee

I am not sure whether this is silly but I get annoyed when people try to make others carry or store their stuff. I have made my children clear out their school bags and my daughter, in particular, has a lot of random stuff that classmates have given her. When I suggested that she chuck some of it out (none of it is useful - in fact, she seemed quite surprised it was there) she was aghast at the idea that she wouldn't just carry on carrying tiny bottles of sand that someone had given her.

My dad's parents once went on holiday and brought back a table, which they gave to my parents. Who didn't really have room for it but felt they had to keep it as the grandparents kept asking if they still used it. When they moved house and got rid of it, my grandparents were appalled. I suspect they liked the table but, as they didn't have anywhere to put it, they decided to give it to my parents.

Yes! My H accepts anything offered to him and doesn't find a place for it so I then throw it out. Our home would be a proper dump if I didn't.

Especially when the person issuing the ‘gentle reminder’ never told you about whatever it was in the first place, as someone I know has form for doing!

People who ask a question at the end of a meeting when everyone else wants to go home.
Beauty Salons/businesses who attempt to have a French name and put the accents in the wrong place.
Instagrammers who do that stupid wiggly pose with their hands near their face and pour product all over themselves.

People who shout for me from another room (or floor). No, it sounds terrible - come here and speak.

Washing machines that say three minutes remaining, so you stand there waiting to unload before going to work, yet it ends up being ten minutes.

Absolutely fair-and I wear hearing aids.

Hard to explain, but people who're late taking something handed to them.

It's seconds of mid suspension, but long enough to want to shout, take it!

People saying rooves instead of roofs.

Those who say 1000%.
Sorry, it's that kind of morning 🤪.

My parents' washing machine drives me round the twist. It does a stupid, annoying little jingle, kidding you into thinking it's ready to empty, but no, it pisses and farts for another five minutes or so until it finally deigns to allow the door to be opened. 🤬 At least when our own starts constantly beeping, you can actually open the door immediately.

I switched the beeping off our machine. I have enough things to attend to, I don’t need to jump at the say so of a washing machine.

I get cross whenever someone is filmed / photographed doing A Thing and someone says “Oh my God, look at your face!”. Yes, they are concentrating, not posing. My daughter has just sent me some photos of her jumping on a pony and had edited her face out as she didn’t like her expression. People shouldn’t have to be photo ready at all times.

On Vinted, sellers not accepting offers and expecting full price. That is absolutely FINE but just say that in your ad or by message, to save wasting everyone’s time. Or decline it and let me know what you do want!

People with poor communication skills drive me mad!

Probably not what this thread is aiming for but on EBAY as a seller I can't find how to opt out of stupid new delivery service. Going to stop selling on there soon if I can't find a way out

I'll be very obviously doing something, using both hands. Husband will, for example, very kindly bring me a cup of tea or G&T, time of day dependent. But he will stand holding it out for me to take, despite the fact that both my hands are evidently already engaged elsewhere and, alas, I only have two. So then, in a strained voice, I always hear myself saying, "yes, thank you, but I obviously can't take it from you, please can you put it down there" and feel a bit of a bitch for sounding ungrateful but honestly really.

Drivers who stop several feet behind the give way line. What do they think the line marking is actually for?

People who recommend terrible books.

So true
