To ask what gives you the rage that probably shouldn't

[Tearsinheavens]

For me it's when I'm sleeping in, maybe at the weekend or if I've worked a late shift and I hear cars going past in the morning around 8am and they are blasting music. It gives me a desire to want to slap them. I know they are well within their rights to do so, and therefore I am being unreasonable but I am just convinced they are annoying people inside 🤣 I'm not a morning person. Obviously.

I used to work with a repetitive sniffer. Never known rage like it.

People who start a conversation with 'y'all right'-why wouldn't I be all right, has my face gone green or something?

@the80sweregreatthey have a pack of 50
velvet hangers on Tik tok for a great price I can’t remember exactly but the same ones were 3 for £8 in b and m . Just a thought 😁

I am with you on this. Why, just why? I often park near the back of the car park, furthest from the shops. It's because I don't like having to squeeze in through a half open door especially if it's wet. There can be loads of closer, more desirable spaces and yet some buffoon comes and parks right next to me. Grrrrr...

People who show you lengthy videos of their grandchildren.

When I let someone go and they don’t give me a courtesy wave. In a car.

It's just so important that the crows & robins who see your clothes line can notice that your pegs & clothes are perfectly colour co- ordinated .... I mean you're not 'for the birds ' for thinking like this .... yeah right!! ;)

When half the self check out tills are out of service during busy shopping periods

Paying £9+ for a glass of wine that isn’t cold enough lol

Paying extra for condiments in a restaurant

No you don't. Dh will ring me and I will say hi and he answers with I'm OK or similar. I only said hi I didn't ask how you were. All.the.time.

YES!

I used to attend regular meetings where the last 40 minutes of each meeting were given over to individuals discussing an issue that only affected them personally with the SLT member in the meeting, whilst the rest of us weren't allowed to leave in case we had any input. We never did have any input (because it didn't affect us and it was always something very specific). It gave me the rage and so many times I wanted to throw my notebook at them and storm out. I didn't, but I look back and think of the hundreds of hours they wasted this way.

We also had people coming in now and then from other organisations so the first 10 minutes was always going round the room giving introductions to one person you would never see again! Didn't occur to SLT just to introduce the new person.

I actually think only 20 minutes of the meetings were actually worth knowing about and that could've been an email too.

People using the term “my partner”. Fucking hate it….don't know why!

Add to that, 3 of the store’s employees are having a chat while you wait in line for the much reduced in number, working, self service tills as the queues for the manned tills are out the door with shoppers and their very full, large trollies.
But I suppose this thread is about things that give you the rage but shouldn’t and what you posted @TheTwitcher11and I added to is a legitimate rage inducer 😀

As an introvert, this meme sums up what gives me the rage (especially when bumping into people you know or went to school with in the shops, and you're socially awkward like me) :

For me its cars driving/turning in front of pedestrians who are travelling in a straight line. Then they get shouty/horn beeping at pedestrian. I have once or twice yelled "I HAVE RIGHT OF WAY!"

Its not hard and frankly you should be aware of the pedestrians.

Also cyclists who thinks red lights/zebra crossings doesnt apply to them.

People parking directly outside my house. I don’t need the space, I have a driveway. It’s a public road, so they’re acting perfectly legally. No one is blocking me in, so no issue with that. But still really, really annoys me.

i park outside other people’s houses without a second thought, so I’m also a hypocrite.

OMG yes!
I think there should be a law that requires pensioners to be banned at peak times. They can only shop then if urgent and accompanied by a working person.

I am retired 😎.

So so many of these rages are my rages. Especially those parking beside me in an empty car park. I move and glare at the drivers if I can.

Why on earth do you do it?? Sorry but you are making a fool of yourself and you are making a rod for your own back. Let the selfish bitch sort out her own garbage! The reason she doesn't sort it is because doesn't have to. You do it for her. So why would she bother? You're rewarding her for her bad and selfish behaviour. She is being rewarded for it. FFS, just stop it!

People eating ANY smelly fast food on any public transport. Too often they’re the types who leave their smelly, greasy wrappings behind, too. And their drinks bottles rolling around the floor.

People trying to get in on trains or buses before people get out.

People standing in entrances having chats. Why stop at the entrance?

My kids bickering. It’s non bloody stop. If one is having a good day and not being a dick to the others then the others can be relied upon to still be getting on each others nerves, there is never a moment when all three of them are being calm civilised pleasant human beings. I tolerate….tolerate…tolerate…redirect…distract….tolerate…then I can’t handle it anymore and shout at them. The rage cannot be contained. Esp now it’s summer holidays and they follow me around the house.

This drives me nuts too as well as people tell you a long story with every single detail along with asides. Just get to the point.

I have a friend who does this and also most of her conversation revolves around her grandchildren. I don’t mind the occasional story or update but it is all the time. I have no interest in whether little Lucy is so bright and clever or Duncan is so cute and he ate his first ice cream yesterday. My friendship with her is dwindling as I write this as she doesn’t have anything else to talk about.

People who don't use headphones on the bus whilst watching videos! Arghhhh!!!
