I don't know if my mum rage is out of control but I went to Asda pizza counter and they were closing so I was told as soon as I joined the queue of 2 people that they were shut. They don't display time and the lights were on, so I was a bit annoyed.

I went to look at the premade pizzas, very annoyed but I didn't say anything to the lady. She then asked how many pizzas I wanted, I reminded her she was shut so why does it matter.

Aibu - either shut and be shut, or serve people?

You are why I will never work retail again

You need to get a life OP.

I strongly suspect the op is bored and arguing for the sake of it.

You are probably correct since name change to reflect her mum rage anger at lack of pizza. Is 'mum rage' a new thing? Is it more acceptable than 'dad rage' or 'supermarket rage'?

@Didshejustsaythatoutloud I was really just trying to squeeze in a (rubbish) pizza pun..Although I stopped using Asda after we moved away to the other side of the town here and I don't miss it at all. Had one or two incidents with bolshy people in the car parks that put me off the place. Maybe one of them was with Op in her mum rage :)

😂 she's definately started a thing, mum rage indeed 😂

When I read “mum rage” I keep thinking of the character Mumm-ra. Just for context, it is a mummified demon priest but was always quite bad tempered.

You need to get a stronger backbone if stuff like this bothers you

@mumanger did you have a recent post about dating and being ghosted and finding it hurtful and confusing?
your message replies and attitude reads exactly the same way

She didn't try and help me
She told me the pizza counter was shut. Then proceeded to ask me how many pizzas I was buying. How is that any of her business?

Perhaps she was closing at the end of her shift, but thought she might help you anyway.

If you hadn't been so abominably rude to her you would be enjoying your pizza now instead of sitting on Mumsnet being abominably rude to people replying to your post.

You will probably find the world a better place for you and everyone you meet if you stop being so rude. Try being nice in future and control your "mumrage" (whatever the fuck that is).

What’s mum rage?

i was just using her language. God knows. I feel like I have endless bottomless rage - like I’m a volcano, fury is my default go-to emotion, I am powered by pure anger - and even I would have told the Asda lady how many pizzas I needed and listened to see if she could help me at all, and even if she couldn’t, be grateful that she went out of her way to find me after her shift and try - so god knows what the OP describes as mum rage.

It’s not a rage I’m familiar with and I’m essentially Thanos ;-)

Ninjachicken · 05/01/2026 01:22

I was just coming back to see if OP had come back. And no, I have never seen a more BU post here. Good luck to her in real life

This has been withdrawn by MNHQ for breaking our Talk Guidelines.

I think we’re getting to the crux of the matter here. What is it about our fucked-up country that has anything to do with the woman on the pizza counter?

OK, maybe she spoke to you rudely or dismissively, or didn’t slither up your arse to make your pizzas, but stewing on this so much you had to start a thread on here? That’s some deep anger going on!

She has, she’s just posting under a different name.

Name changes mid thread are not supposed to be possible any more so I assume the OP has two accounts, possibly for sock puppetting or trolling, all of which are against MN T&Cs.

Worth reporting imo.

The ‘Coldsoreupnose’ poster was pretending to be the OP, and has been deleted.

Or it was the OP under a new name via VPN tech or re-registration, and deleted.

What a waste of a life.

the posts certainly had the same bad attitude vibe anyway 😂

You sound exactly like my kids... when they were toddlers...

It's not a good thing by the way, just in case you had to question that.

juice92 · 06/01/2026 15:45

She was closing. She decided she would hang around for an extra minute or two to do you a favour and you were rude. You are being unreasonable.
