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.

People that say ‘vuh’ instead of ‘the’ like ‘Please could you put vuh water on vuh table?’. I know it’s a me problem and they probably can’t help it but it’s really common where I live to make that speech reduction and every time I hear it I cringe a little.

Also when the double t becomes c in some accents, bottle becomes boccle and finally when th becomes f like in fink vs think and free vs three.

People walking and eating, just sit down and enjoy your meal. A chocolate bar or ice cream if just about bearable but I've seen people walking eating sandwiches or even salads and I think just sit down, there's no need to be in such a rush.

Thanks for that. 😊

Ditherers. When walking, when shopping, when driving, when in a queue in front of me - its SO frustrating!

Nissan cars - Jukes, Quasquai's, Note's, Micra's - all should be banned from the road when I'm on it (driving my Audi absolutely perfectly of course ) and I have no idea why Nissan's give me such a rage when plenty of other cars are driven just as badly (Audi, BMW, Hyundai, Honda Jazz, Jaguar, Range Rover - who have i forgotten?!)

People who want to check into a hotel but say they're booking in. I know what they mean and I'm totally unreasonable and of course just get on with it, but if you've arrived expecting a room you've booked then you're checking in because you've already booked in.

People who celebrate Christmas in Advent or before!

Before Remembrance is just crass.

LinkedIn messages, its almost entirely automated junk mail now, there isn't any point in checking my messages anymore as its all crap! LinkedIn is also full of humblebrags and ridiculous storytelling, not much on there seems to be that genuine anymore.

Carol, the weather woman on BBC Breakfast. Don't know why ... but I get the rage every time she comes on my screen.

People who walk slowly.
People beating me to a seat on the bus/train

I don't know why it is but when trees and shrubs partially obscure road signs. It's utterly maddening, especially on motorways. I would like to travel around the UK, just stopping for a judicious prune. (Also when road signs get all manky with lichen, moss etc. I want to give them a wash and it's so irritating that it's nobody's job to do it.)

Also, rooms painted terracotta. Can't deal with it, no idea why. I have to look away and/click past sharpish. I could understand if I just thought "Ooh no, that's not my cup of tea", but it's actual rage, so unreasonable really

When DH leaves the house for work then rings me about 20 minutes later .... before launching into why he rang, he'll ask how I am ... you saw me 20 minutes ago, I was fine then, I'm fine now. What do you want?

God I just read that back and I sound awful 😃

The tinkly laugh of the person who sits behind me in the office. I struggle enough with open office attention span as it is. And this is especially fucking rage inducing, and it's behind me to the side so it really catches my attention. Once distracted the 'getting back to it' process is challenging. They are in a team of 3 who are always on the phone as well so it's a lifetime of blocking out and it's genuinely making me want to throw them out of the window in front of a large vehicle.

'Slowest Common Denominator' really made me smile, I think I'm going to use that. This is MIL to a tee.

People eating fried chicken on the bus.

Couples that call each other hubby/wifey and they’re not even married

People who call their boyfriends parents their in laws after being together 6 months. Or call their boyfriends / girlfriends kids stepchildren when they’ve only been dating 8 months. I know it shouldn’t bother me what they call them, but it seems too much too soon.

Everything at the moment.. 🤣

But the park across the road from the school that I have to pass through to get home. I just want to go home, my DD is tired after pre school, she needs to go home. Do I spend half an hour in the park with an overtired angry 3 year old or drag her home and have the drawn out meltdown there about why she couldn't go 😫

People with bare feet. Feet give me the boak- my friend insists everyone tells her she has ‘stunning’ feet. She doesn’t - stunning feet don’t exist. Cover them up.

People misspelling the names of very famous people, e.g Judy Dench, Kier Starmer. Not to mention very well known brands - I have seen ‘Lurpack’ so many times, from people who habitually buy it and must have seen the name thousands of times.

Wanton waste of food

People who think you want to listen to the minutiae of their lives when all you’ve done is asked “all right?”
Slow drivers in front of me. Wankers blocking my view of stuff in the supermarket then seeing them in every aisle, again in the way of what I want. People who don’t pick their feet up when walking. Jeez! People who pile their bin bags up to the top of the wheelie bin so that the lid can’t close but foxes and vermin can get in, rip the bags so the shit spills everywhere then blows all over other gardens. People who break up polystyrene and put it in the recycling boxes. Bastards. Shop assistants who don’t meet your eye. Coat hangers: the work of the devil designed to enrage me when they keep getting tangled up. People near my house speaking loudly on phones. Fuck off in private. As you can tell I’m an easily irritated person

Cyclists on pavements absolutely give me the rage and hell will freeze over before I get out of their way.

People who insist on putting their phones on speaker and having a full blown conversation the other side of my garden hedge when I'm trying to enjoy my garden. Had to listen to a loud 2-way conversation last week between a parked up minibus driver and someone else (think he must have had the window wound down just to transmit the sound a bit further) which went on for about 20 minutes then yesterday a woman was pacing up and down having a full on work chat with a colleague. It's bad enough having to hear the person in earshot without the bloody person they're speaking to as well!

When someone posts on a community FB page about broken glass etc all over the kid's park, or some other absolutely valid antisocial behaviour and a load of morons pile on with "let kids be kids, we all used to have fun once" or suggest you are a boring old fart because you don't think the tin can car exhaust exploding outside your house at 5am is "just having fun"

I am very fun but I am also not a twat who smashes stuff at parks or drives like a dick - it's not one or the other!

Idiot drivers like the taxi driver who pulled out of a side road in front of me yesterday before suddenly deciding to turn right only to find there was no room in the filter lane so instead he stopped dead.

Wow a lot of people get mad at what could potentially be someone with a hidden disability.

I'll bless you twice but you're on your own after that third sneeze

People idling engines, particularly outside my house- house faces a car park for 40+ houses.

I had to have extremely firm words with dh, to stop him stretching all my t-shirts at the hem, by hanging them by the hem and pulling them far too far, instead of hanging them by the shoulder seams, and under no tension.

My pet peeve is should have/would have/could have instead of should have/could have/would have - or even should’ve/could’ve/would’ve. I know it’s an easy mistake to make, and I understand why people are making it, so it shouldn’t annoy me, but it does.

This!!!! Brilliant !
