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.

When I go somewhere and it’s really crowded. Totally unreasonable as I am obviously contributing to the crowding

So true! When I go to the city centre during the day I think why is it so busy, why aren’t they working.. and then smile as I’m contributing to it

Sex scenes and loud kissing in movies and tv programmes. I'm no prude, I just want them to get on with the bloody story. I don't need to see that! It gives me the rage!

It’s inevitable that there has to be a love interest in every story. So annoying.

Same, cringe. I’ve watched a few films recently that don’t have any hint of a love interest and it’s so much better.

One neighbour consistently leaves her recycling outside her front door. She never puts it in the bin. Ever.

I can get over this, I often pick it up, sort it, and put it in the bin myself.i think she thinks there are recycle fairies.

What really irrationally upsets me is that all the other neighbours think it's my rubbish.
I don't know if recycle neighbour has told them it's mine, or if theyve just decided it's mine as I live in a council house. I have used my words and when someone has commented I've politely said, oh it's neighbours, easiest for me to put it in the bin rather than leave it! But they all seem to consistently believe I put my recycling outside her front door and put it in the bin later.

It infuriates me much more than putting her rubbish in the bin.

That would annoy the hell out of me. It’s unfair. I hate unfairness.

I do the over-loud sneezes. I can either sneeze quietly and wet myself or sneeze loudly and not wet myself. I choose the noise over the incontinence.
Pelvic floor exercises have not yet been suitable effective.

"Hence Why" is my petty, irrational, rage-inducing quirk. I want to slap the wrist of anyone who says it with a wooden ruler like my old head teacher in the 70s. Hence. It's just hence.

Yes mine are huge so if I internalise them they just make things come out of orifices 🤣

Yes. Then very occasionally I see a post on here and think, Oh, there’s a good one!

Thankyou for the validation!

It's been going on for 10+ years so I've had plenty of time to examine why it bothers me. I think it's partly the unfairness, but mostly I think I'm annoyed at how dim and imperceptive they are. She leaves empty Amazon boxes with her name on them outside. How silly do you have to be to relentlessly assume they're mine?! 🤦

the80sweregreat · 09/07/2025 18:26

Agree that any kind of ‘ sex scene’ in films or dramas makes me feel embarrassed and just meh . It’s sometimes inserted when it really doesn’t add to the story at all and I’m sure it’s because the producer likes it..
I am a bit of a prude around all that though.

Whatever the reason for this nonsense, you can be assured it’s their shit thinking. I give up trying to understand idiots.

Add to this, the mainly female nudity

Not exactly rage, but some peoples bad manners make me feel grumpy.

Once, we got a kiss and the rest was left to our imagination. It’s completely unnecessary to view the whole bloody thing. Please just get on with the main story.

the80sweregreat · 09/07/2025 18:32

I don’t mind if it’s just a couple in bed and they have nightclothes on and you know they have done the deed , but it’s not shown , but when you get simulated sex scenes or noises it’s so off putting.
Not sure how some actors feel about it really! Must be awkward if they don’t get on that well off screen

VaddaABeetch · 09/07/2025 18:33

M/F couples who say We are Pregnant. No only one of you is pregnant.

People who say Be Kind. You first.

People who say human beings can change sex. That a man who puts on a dress & a wig magically becomes a woman.

Utterlyconfusednow · 09/07/2025 18:06

It really is shit being a woman sometimes isn’t it. I’m not against men, it just feels so unfair.

If I have to live through this shitshow again I’m DEFINITELY going to be a bloke. It’s like Life on the Easy mode.

Dacia Dusters.

Are you my son? He said if we ever bought one, he wouldnt get into it!!

Traffic jams really annoy me, I sit in my car thinking "why the f*ck are there so many people on the road" ignoring the fact I am contributing as much as everyone else to the traffic jam.

Nonbio46 · 09/07/2025 18:37

People who keep rucksacks on their back in shops leaving very little room to get past.

RaininSummer · 09/07/2025 18:39

The people who say 'obviously' and then tell me something which wouldn't have been obvious at all.

The people who let their hedges grow over the payment so you get squished between wet hedge and parked car or have to go in the road to pass.

The people whose children are going along on wheels, scooter or bike, and they dont even remind them to watch where they are going as they weave around you or shoot round blind corners.

The moving of the 6pm news for bloody tennis

The lack of provision for bags big enough for bread in Lidl. Always have to tear a bunch of small ones to bo er the bread or pinch a plastic veg bag.

I think I need to stop here as feeling rageful.

the80sweregreat · 09/07/2025 18:40

I don’t want to ‘come back ‘ reincarnated and do any of it again.
Knowing my luck it’ll be even worse.
Only one life is enough for me!

People that are never on time. Not a one off, stuck behind a tractor, dog threw up as I was leaving person but the ones who just don’t give a shit. I feel full of rage just thinking about it!

When I'm pregnant and all people talk to me about is pregnancy 😴
