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 🤣

Animal haters/abusers. Women haters/abusers.

Able-bodied people who expect disabled people on sticks/walkers to move out of THEIR way.

I'm 60, never married, and I don't like kids - chose never to have any when I was 6 - so all the piddly-minded idiots over the years who accuse me of being selfish for choosing to live my life how I see fit. I refuse to have the title of wife, mum, or gran.

Any type of porn/sexual stuff.

Men who send me direct/private messages on social media with their shitty chat-up lines and fake profiles, expecting me to lower myself to answer!

Religious nuts. I don't mean those who quietly go about their religion, but the brainless bores who desperately try to ram it down my throat, waffling on about sins and hell, when they know I'm an Athiest.

The worldwide obsession with coffee. I absolutely hate it and won't have anything to do with it, including in food.

They aren’t silly things, though, are they??

People who add "if that's okay" to regular requests.

my ex does that all the time, only he doesn't even type the full sentence. It makes me want to throw my phone out the window. He often texts to ask after DC as he can't be around during the week but "give DC a goodnight from me if ok" "show DC this picture of their cousin opening a gift if ok" if ok.. if ok...
Please fuck off, IF OK!

Thankyou so much. Sending solidarity to you ❤️

Your post makes me feel bad for my DH.....
I have 0 need for affection or connection, or socialising (probably why he drinks) I'm not autistic but people think I am

Nothing gives me "the rage" but many things make me quite angry. They include the expression "give you the rage."

My ex and his insistence that im arguing with him when I say no im not arguing im just saying no doesn't matter if he doesn't agree with me the answer is no 🤷‍♀️

When people don't know the difference between stationery and stationary.

My English teacher would say the way to remember Stationary and Stationery
was stationARY “ AIN’T going anywhere and stionERY goes in an EnvElopE”
