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.

Jeez, who would want to meet in Lidl for gawd's sakes!?

Isn't that the place that most self conscious people usually go in with their hoodies up & shades on, and then pack their grocery shopping into M&S food grocery bags at the till !?

I mean just imagine what the neighbours might think Hyacinth!? 😉

Able bodied, capable people ( I.e. not oldies , farmers or learner drivers) who insist on driving in single lane roads at say 10-15mph under the speed limit.

Not slow enough to warrant medium paced drivers to pass them, hence the whole road turns into one long , slow snake train.... and usually their blissfully unaware that they're slowing everybody else down.

incredibly inconsiderate, when they have no excuse not to drive at our near the speed limit!! Grrrrr😡

Maybe used to be like that but ain't no shame in it these days

My dog not eating his breakfast.

My dog is a bundle of neurosis and always has been. I generally mollycoddle him, but this morning I was not in the mood.

One of the things that he does is eat his kibble from his bowl, then sit back and wait for me to wiggle the bowl, then he will eat another bit ... and it goes on and on and on until he finishes it. Normally I am OK with this, but this morning I was feeling the rage and I ended up taking it from him when there was one wiggle amount left and said 'you obviously aren't hungry'.

I am now at work feeling like a shit.

My mum's endless monalogues give me the rage. I don't know how she can drone on about her broken nail for 10 minutes. I also get the rage when my cousin fails to read my messages properly. I always tell her not to get me bath bombs for Christmas. I always tell her something that i want. Yet she has to get me bath bombs. What part of i don't want bath bombs is hard to understand?

Having to parent my children ALL day.

Wake up, feed, clothe, go out, come back, lunch then still 6 more hours to kill 🫠

I love them to bits but 3pm onwards is torture.

One of my cats is a bundle of neurosis too, I mollycoddle him and occasionally snap at him then spend the day feeling guilty so you aren't alone

Doesn't help that he has one of those faces that always looks sad.

When men don't offer their seat on the train or tube to standing women.

Sounds of people eating.

Bad grammar.

People at work expecting me to, well, work!

YES. It also affects elderly or disabled people, who can't easily weave their way in traffic.

My dad used to be a special constable, and one day he was in the police station, talking to the sergeant, who was a friend of his. A very angry lorry driver came in to complain that some stupid woman had told him off for parking his lorry on the pavement so she had had to push her pram onto the road to get past him.

Midway through his rant, he pointed out of the window and said “There’s the stupid bitch now!” - to which the sergeant’s reply was “Oh - you mean my wife!” The lorry driver shrunk, gabbled something and left pronto. 😂😂😂

I think you have missed the point of this lighthearted thread. It's not all about you.

Same! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

When being told a mobile phone number, it being recited wrongly

It should be “07654 321987”, and not fucking “076 5432 1987” …

WTF is that about? It’s makes me fume and laugh at the same time as I know I’m being ridiculous 🤣

Or when you're telling someone over the phone your mobile no.

Me: it's 0575...
Them: (long pause)
I then start to say the next bit and they say "yeah...." at exactly the same time. So I don't know if they have heard the next bit so I say it again and it turns out they did hear so they now have 0575 242 242..... so we have to start again... !

People having their phones on loudspeaker like we all want to hear their conversation!!

People munching apples. That awful wet crunching. They should either be forced to eat them in private, or slice them first like I do.

Spelling mistakes in professional or commercial materials. To me, it suggests a lack of care and due diligence and discourages any further interest.

People sniffing! Just blow your bloody nose. Especially irritating when it’s early and I’m on the train into work.

Now this is something I can relate to. Utterly unreasonable to think anything bad of these people and yet I’d do it too. Is it the routine?

People using chatGTP. Especially for the dumbest of reasons.
It used absolutely crazy amounts of water, I don't think it should've ever been made available to the public.

@ConnieHeart you’re exactly the kind of person who boils my piss - when it comes to mobile number recitations!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Certain regional accents really irritate me. That's unreasonable in itself but the fact I have a regional accent myself, one which grates on many, makes me doubly unreasonable.

Yeah but I don't like to read out too many numbers in one go! 🤣

voice messages. I found voicemail annoying enough, but then voice messaging was invented.

people wanting to talk in the morning.

people eating with their mouth open.

People who leave the empty toilet roll out when there is a bin very close by.

People who start a new but same shampoo/shower gel/cereal before the old one is finished.
