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 🤣

I'll take that. I'd sooner lack linguistic imagination than speak badly, given a choice.

People who moan relentlessly about having a headache / cold / other minor ailment but will not take painkillers etc.

Either do something about it, or stop moaning.

Dropping something, picking it up and then immediately dropping it again.

'a myriad of'. Myriad means 'many', so the a and of are redundant and infuriating.

Any kind of chewing, knife scraping, forks clattering or scraping on teeth... A lot of us on here have misophonia!

The washing machine helpfully beeping every thirty seconds to tell me it's finished. I KNOW! I just can't or don't want to deal with it instantly!

My sister mentioning or even appearing to mention anything to do with her obsession with slimness. Fuck off. I put up with it throughout my childhood and teens but I'm nearly 50 and so over it. Oh, and in related rage, my inability to lose weight 😂😭

Or Affect and Effect.

I bet they're not using it correctly either (this was one of the bugbears I listed above)

E.g. "I literally died of embarrassment!" Well no you didn't because here you still are, alive and annoying me...

"Literally the funniest thing ever!" Was it? Really? In 30 years on this earth you never saw a single thing funnier than that YouTube video?

Grrr.

Oh god, could be a long list….

chewing loudly
slurping
when someone walks too closely behind me
people who just stop dead in the middle of the street/supermarket aisle
people who have no idea of personal space
people who take calls on loudspeaker
using a seat for their bag on a train

many more that aren’t springing to my mind at this moment.

I think I could just change my list to people tbh- I hate people.

phone charging leads. if you find them, which is a challenge in itself despite the partner swearing blind he has not had it/moved it/seen it.
Then you get it connected, and it is not charging! yet again it is broken, so another expensive trip to the electrical shop
With the amount of leads we have bought, we could have a month in the Bahamas!

Multiple people walking in the swimming pool blocking the pool.
when my clothes get caught on door knobs, only happens when I’m in a bad mood!

I find the use and overuse of "peri"really irritating. Why can't women just say they are going through the menopause, menopausal or whatever. You either are iin it or aren't. I only see people saying thet they are peri on Mn. Nobody irl has ever said it to me.

I used to work on a service desk that got queries by phone and in person. People who try to talk to you while you’re in the middle of a call helping someone else. You can see I’m on the phone, actively having a conversation with someone. Wait!

When a poster asks something like "what is your favourite thing" and posters go on to list out 10 things. Really really bugs me...totally irrational!

Anyone who talks to my through the bathroom door while I am on the toilet. It is the one time I am really not available.

People who do not understand the difference between reality and TV.
On my family tree, I found a woman called Mary Crawley, born in the 1500’s. Someone added her to their family tree, with the note attached reading … DOWNTON ABBEY heiress!!! 🤷‍♀️

😂😂😂

Not directed at you but it's an example: the way 3/4 is now used to mean between three and four instead of 3-4 as it used to be. Now if you want to say three out of four there's no symbol.

Ah yes, I agree, though I will add the onus is on the member of staff to acknowledge the person now in front of them...I find it really uncomfortable when I am standing there and no one has even looked up from their desk to make eye contact. Likewise when a counter is empty and you're waiting to be served, and a staff member walks behind the counter but doesn't acknowledge me...When I worked at British Home Stores in the 1990s, we were trained on all of this, in a training suite off the shop floor, before they'd let us near a customer.

Fucking amen to this one.

Me too. I keep saying draw -er but it doesn’t flow at all.

We have a bed with a head board and foot board so I make the bed with "prison/hospital corners" at the bottom. Every night my OH pulls it out on her side. Gives me the rage. I've even fixed it in the middle of the night before!! IABU but I can't honestly can't help it, there is no need to pull them out we're only short and it's a super king!

People repeating posts on here thinking they’re being witty and original. How many repeats do the ‘draw’ and ‘drawer’ posts need? It was boring to start with and doesn’t improve on the twentieth telling. Nothing to contribute? Don’t bother then.

I bought a single item from an online shop that used to be a catalogue company. I’ve had about 45 separate requests for ‘feedback’ about the item and it’s delivery 😡

I’m

Hmm. Personally I can’t stand hospital corners, they make my feet feel trapped and I always pull them out straight away when staying in hotels etc. I’m not sure that’s got anything to do with a person’s height.

Oh we did acknowledge them. Usually with an “I’ll just be a moment” gesture. Unfortunately some people seem to take this as a sign to launch into a detailed explanation of their issue but I can’t have two conversations at the same time. This work involved looking things up on customer records etc and I literally couldn’t search for two people at once. People just don’t seem to use their common sense any more.

I’ll add to the lack of common sense that irritates me - people who try to cram on to a train/tube when we’re clearly already packed in like sardines. Where do they think they will fit?

They are ….

My latest rage and ire is directed squarely at the Food Industry.

they discovered "the joys" of shrink-flation and now they're off, there's no stopping them.

Specifically but not restricted to Nescafé cappuccino which used to be 10 sachets in a box 18g per sachet, now they are down to 7 sachets and 14.5g per sachet.

Price has stayed the same, quantity and quality reduced.

so cynical 😡

Most tautology but general consensus is the worst for me
