Things that cause irrational rage

[Soberinthecity]

I’ll go first: For me the word, “hubby”…. No idea why. And I’ve acknowledged it’s irrational, so….

People who say 'love yoooooooou' at the end of phone conversations. It kind of cheapens it.

Also: "Hundred and fifty percent! A thousand percent! A billion percent!"

Someone didn't scrape through GCSE Maths, did they? 🙄

Crowd noise at sporting events on the TV, football crowds are especially irritating!😠

But neither is it 'squash'. It might have once been squashed fruit? It's the results of the squash taking place surely!

The word squash now sounds even stranger to me 😁

Slurping. Pen clicking... I work with a few pen clickers, drives me nuts!

Whistling.

I feel real rage when I hear it.

At the moment, that fucking Siemens advert on my MN feed that is way too easy to click on.

Piss off, smiling hard-hatted woman!

Bad table manners:

• holding knife like a pen.
• using fork to point or touch other people's food.
• not tucking elbows in.
• chewing with mouth open.
• speaking while chewing
• elbows on table while eating.

People having ‘a bite to eat’ makes me want to scream. It’s such a twee little phrase.

Wet words like dollop. Everyone on mumsnet seems to have 'dollops' of hummus and 'blobs' of Greek yogurt, it's all wet and sloppy. Urgh.

People who say juice when they mean sauce (as in saying they use bread to mop up the "juice" from a casserole).

People who leave windscreen wipers on when its stopped raining

That's bad enough, but when they then go on, saying "love you, love you, love you..."

The word 'snack'. It makes me cringe, everyone talking about needing a 'snack' or having to stop for a 'quick snack.'

A lot less people would be overweight if we just called it 'eating between meals' and 'unnecessary calories'. If I said 'oh, I just need to stop for some unnecessary calories' I'd probably think twice about it.

OMG I'm such a boy/girl mum. No you're just a mum!

My baby is 9! How did that happen? You gave birth 9 years ago that's how.

Girl math 😡😡

The watching/listening things out loud in public - I don’t understand this!
When did it become acceptable? What happens when everyone starts doing it and train carriages are full of people all watching/listening to different things out loud? Comedy clips to the left of you, Criminal Minds to the right, Stormzy yelling down the end, the creep opposite you obviously watching porn…

“The boys” when you’re talking about grown men.

People - that’s it!

People who are frustrated that the lift is taking so long to go up from the ground floor. so in addition to having pressed the ‘up’ button… (where they want to go) they the decide to press the ‘down’ button also (only one floor below ground that non-staff do not need to use). Ugh it slows the whole process down even further as when the lift arrives, it then goes down one floor, before returning to ground level to go up! Drives me mad to see both lights lit up.

When garages use near side… off side… are those even the right terms? Just say drivers side/passenger side FGS, as I never remember which is which! Near side to what? Middle of the road, near to the curb, I literally never remember.
Yes I know that this would be reversed for cars that are left hand side drive but surely those are a tiny minority in this country.

Having wet hands.

When people react about something a poster has said with something along the lines of, "That was so funny, I spat ny tea out' implying that the was side splitingly hilarious. It's often not even mildly amusing.

Oh many many things already mentioned. I'll add:

Poor grammar generally
Poor use of language (hubby, me myself, belly, etc)
Greediness relating to food
Poor personal hygiene
People who don't say please and thank you
Notices that don't say please and thank you
Drivers who don't indicate
Cyclists who don't believe the rules of the road apply to them - yes you are supposed to stop at traffic lights
Children scooting, cycling and standing in trolleys at the supermarket
People who don't queue

Nothing wrong with those!

110%

There is no 110%.
