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 🤣

@DavidBrentsGuitar

asda is called ‘ the Asda ‘ round here

as in
do You want anything from the Asda ?

funnily enough , not the Lidl or the Tesco

When DH sneezes he goes onto sneeze about 4/5 times more… then a break of 20/30 seconds and then 3/4 more times

Drives me to murderous boiling point - I hate it. Once it reached 13 sneezes all in - I had to leave the room

Poor Sod not his fault lol. X

I'm shuddering hearing it second hand 🙈😬

Mine is "different TO" instead of "different FROM", and any kind of the use of sit / stood instead of sitting / standing. As in "I was sat there / I was stood there". No. You. Were. Not. You were sitting. Or standing.

As for the tautology you mentioned, it's "reverting back" which grinds my gears, along with PIN number and PAT testing.

I've never met her and I don't like her either now 😅. The 'sharps' would have been an instant write off without the rest !

Agree , unnecessary x

Ppl who replace 't's with 'd's in the middle of words. Glottal stop or just say T, nothing else is acceptable.

Also, over-pronouncing t's at the end of words.

DH saying "sweetheart". No idea why, but I cannot stand it.

The words 'coup' & 'wrath'. Ah fuck I'm getting the rage just thinking about wrath!

The smell of tinned sardines.

Someone pinching my nose, no matter how gentle. Do not touch my nose!

My dear aunt does this and it really makes me feel premenstrual!! :

Me: " so, I ..."
Aunt : pardon ?

I haven't barely bloody started !!!!!!

That’s unfair, I’m Scottish and they are pronounced totally different, but ignorant to think otherwise.

Saying ‘reach out’ instead of ask
’bottom out’ instead of work/sort out
’I appreciate you’ instead of i appreciate that
‘touch down’ instead of meet up in a work sense
‘breakout area’ it’s the fucking kitchenette where the urn and fridge are

so many more…,

She was the most rancid old tart I have ever know, 58 going on 18, thinking she still had what it took, whereas in reality is was not so much that she'd lost it, more that she never had it to start with. This was an era where tall, glamorous mature ladies in power-suits, killer-heels, and "can-I-see-the-manager?" haircuts as we know them today were employed by the manufacturers of the appliances we sold, to strut into our store at will and offer training and guidance...and this one would be full of vitriol after they'd left, the one comment which stood out being "I didn't like her legs" (nudge glasses). There was so much I could have said, so much, but I was brought up not to rain on anyone's parade.

That sounds like really hard work and I don't think that's a petty thing either. It would annoy the hell out of anyone.

Re my friend, no I have no idea why he does it, and neither does he.
Some examples are, he will text me that he has read somewhere that olive oil is good for your heart, so he is going to try and have it every day. A week later I will say that I love kale cooked in the oven with a sprinkling of brown sugar and a little olive oil. Cue him telling me that he has heard olive oil is good for your heart, so he's having it every day now
Or a recent one where he tells me that he's fed up of shopping at Asda so he's going to start getting an Iceland home delivery. Next time I see him he tells me again.
Im a fairly tolerant person usually, but years of this has tipped me over the edge and Ive had to do a slow fade.

Thank you! I've been feeling so alone with the "hence why" rage.

Oh God yes to the bum and ball sniffing advert, just no thanks!!
also the recent Leedamer Cheese advert “slap in on your butty” is intensely irritating me for some reason.
i’ve also discovered that whispering is now giving me the absolute rage…can’t even say the word without getting annoyed.
I think it has meangirl vibes!

Equally annoying is when people say someone is bias, instead of biased.

Me too!

It must be an accent thing. My pronunciation is exactly how the words look phonetically.
For me, in my accent (Scottish) the ‘er’ at the end of drawer is pronounced. But, I can see that in some accents it’s not.
However, that is not what irks me, accents are what they are. It’s the spelling of drawer as draw which is incorrect.

Oh yes. Why oh why do people park right next to me when there are loads of spaces? Especially as I tend to park in the less popular, further away spaces.

That was an, I assume, tongue in cheek response to someone that had said the opposite to point out their own ignorance.

(It must be even more irritating to see "chester draws" type comments when they don't even sound the same to you!)

Bad spelling and grammar.

My husband's supermarket walk. Walks perfectly normally everywhere else but as soon as he's in a supermarket he shuffles along soooo slowwwly even in we were just meant to pop in for a couple of things.

People pronouncing 'h' as haitch rather than aitch.

People saying disinterested when they mean uninterested (yes I know language develops).

People I'm walking behind on a crowded street suddenly stopping dead to look at something or do something on their phone so I nearly walk into them.

People saying literally when they mean figuratively.

People who say ATM machine and pin number.

The National Express website. I never pre-book seats as they're all at the front and I prefer the back. So I press the 'no' button and it goes to the next page where I immediately get a big urgent pop up warning me I haven't booked a seat and have to press no again. Like I did literally seconds ago. Funnily enough I haven't changed my mind in two seconds!

Ex workmate used to say penultimate when he meant ultimate. And he'd say it a LOT.

My bloody phone autocorrecting in to on and into to onto (just remembered this one as I see it just did it on this post!).

I could go on but I'd be here all day 🤣

This. I'm so glad it's not just me that it drives insane. I don't give feedback on anything now, god or bad, as I'm a pissy old git who won't tell in principle.

Ooh my people! I cannot blame peri because I'm past that and some people have always annoyed me. Some of this isn't that small though ...

Saying brought when it's bought. Gotten instead of got (unless you are American and she wasn't), confusing lend and borrow, thinking they can say whatever they like but oh no, you can't. Thinking they can treat you like shit but then be upset with consequences.

People who lean on a shopping cart when they don't need to and push themselves along.

People who seem to be everywhere I am in the grocery store. People who lean over me to get to something.

Bad manners in general.

People who lead such small lives they have to mention something all the time. People who talk about themselves repeatedly especially at work and therefore think this means they are good at mixing.

Liars especially by omission.

People who see me, small and blonde and think I'm stupid. People who see my mini and think I don't deserve a whole parking spot.

People who are just all show. First class airline travel, big holidays several times a year, big cars, designer clothing, constantly bragging about what they have and where they are going and how great they are when they've got unsuitable or insecure housing. And then thinking that I or another friend should take them in so they can continue.

People with short memories who were nowhere when I needed support and then have the gall to think I'll support them again.

Men treating their women and children badly in public. What the hell is he like at home?

So in general most of it is about entitlement and trying to take advantage.

British people spelling adviser with an 'o'. It is not advisor.

That is genuinely monstrous.

About 4 miles on my commute. The country road bit a elderly man would pull out from his house which was up a long drive. He did about 15mph. Very frustrating as it was a few miles to somewhere to pass him.
