Tell Sony Pictures your best ‘Angry Bird Moment’ - win a £300 voucher! NOW CLOSED

[RebeccaEMumsnet]

In the run-up to the release of ‘The Angry Birds Movie’, from Sony Pictures, we are very excited to announce a new addition to the range of emoticons on Mumsnet – The Angry Bird!

The Angry Birds Movie Synopsis:

In the 3D animated comedy, The Angry Birds Movie, we'll finally find out why the birds are so angry. The movie takes us to an island populated entirely – or almost entirely- by happy, flightless birds. In this paradise, Red (Jason Sudeikis, We're the Millers, Horrible Bosses), a bird with a temper problem, speedy Chuck (Josh Gad in his first animated role since Frozen), and the volatile Bomb (Danny McBride, This Is the End, Eastbound and Down) have always been outsiders. But when the island is visited by mysterious green piggies, it’s up to this trio of unlikely outcasts to work out what the pigs are up to.

You can read more about the film here.

To celebrate, Sony Pictures want to hear your best ‘Angry Bird Moments’. So do share them here - whether it be your biggest pet peeve, a moment that got your feathers well and truly ruffled, or something that made you want to break everything in the room, in true Angry Birds style!

As an extra challenge, try to work the new emoticon into your post.
For example, my moment was …

My moment - groups of people walking three or more abreast on the pavement, watching you walk towards them, and not making any effort to make space for you to pass. Especially when one of them is dangling a cup of coffee from their hand and the very narrow space means they end up bumping your arm and spilling it all over your new jacket. And then they get annoyed because they've lost a few ml of their all important Starbucks fix.

[DailyMailThicko]

My most recent moment was getting an unwanted marketing call from someone wanting to ask about a 'recent car crash'. I reported it to the ICO which makes me feel a bit less rage'y.

Generally I get disappointed, resigned or sad rather than .

Many a time when a cyclist has been cycling towards me on the pavement I veer in front of them until they stop and then shout at them for not being on the road.

I yell at cyclists when they run through a red a light when I am crossing at a pedestrian crossing.

I also shout at drivers who are using their mobiles when they are driving if I am on the the pavement next to them and see them doing it. I have lost two loved ones to road accidents so people not paying proper attention makes me really angry.

I also hate groups of tourists blocking corners and paths so that no one can get past.

I work in central London so I have a lot of road rage even though I'm not the one driving!

Most of my moments are to do with inanimate objects. Particularly techinical things involving cables. I don't like cables. Or technical things. Unless they are working. When they stop working I get very and feel the urge to throw things about and break down into irrational tears.

And people who tailgate are absolute fuckers.

[squeezed]

The way Theo Walcott runs. I can't articulate how irrationally it makes me.

[Byrdie]

bird moment for me is being hit with selfie sticks at any vaugely touristy spot. I'd like to use one to whack the person who invented them.

[barricade]

The things that would get me to use this icon are too numerous to mention. So I am going to say ...

"I get really when I can't even complete a post about things that annoy me without getting !!!!"

[avocadosweet]

People who amble aimlessly along the pavement, three abreast. That'll do it, grr!

[romanrainsalot]

Slow people without tickets/Oyster cards ready at barriers.
People on the underground escalators with cases on wheels who ankle slice you.
Loud people on the train.
Mithering people who knock on the door at tea time.
People who stop in doorways/shop entrances.
Shops that are too hot.
Sweaty-smelling changing rooms.
Trolleys taking up parking spaces.
When people email but forget the attachment and then have to send another email.
People who don't clean up after pets.
People who ask you twice a year for your address instead of writing it down in an address book .
People who overshare on FB.
People who put annoying " share if you love blah blah" on FB.
Question Time and PMQs, yah boo politics and non-answering of questions.
Luke warm food in restaurants.
Jeremy Kyle show.
Reality TV shows.
Middle lane hoggers.

I could go on...

[CMOTDibbler]

My is normally when people at work ask me questions which either a) are things they've been told a squillion times before b) are in easily accessible documents that they know about and which I will have to look in myself or most rage inducing c) things I will have to Google just like they could. C usually involves the need for a coffee and silent swearing before I type something I regret

[Emrob86]

I become and angry bird when people are just plain rude!

[SpidersFromMars]

We already have an angry emoticon. Being referred to as one of the "angry birds" on Mumsnet will absolutely make me angry.
Wrong crowd to call "birds" unfortunately - you might want netmums ----> THAT WAY.

I was in labour with second daughter. Quite painful as you can imagine. Wandering around the delivery room with husband in tow on his mobile phone using a 'contraction timer' app

Swat him away so he parks up in one of those big leather chairs, breaks open some ginger biscuits and starts munching. The still of the room, the increasing agony and his INCESSANT CRUNCHING were more than I could handle.

I launched my fists Rocky Balboa style at the curtain around the bed. It flapped around my head while I grappled with it. I have never fought or punched anything in my life but this curtain was getting the shit beaten out of it. This personal round of StreetFighter (curtain fighter?) continued for what felt like ages until I realised my daughter was very much on her way so I adjusted my pearls and climbed onto the bed just in time for midwives arriving.

So yes, when I am angry I join Fight Club against NHS privacy curtains

[WolfAlice]

Errrm.....

[purplemonstermum]

The children squabbling over nothing...but I kind of lose the moral high ground when I shout at them!

[jes73]

My moment? There are quite a few really.
-like when parents have a chat in the middle of the path in school blocking the narrow gate that everyone has to access - no, we don't need to know if little Mary finally suceeded in using the toilet

• when parents pretend to not like Fast Food for the school's benefit and protest at burgers being served for lunch and you see them frequently at the local drive thru
  
• when parents cross the road, not using the zebra crossing, busy on the phone while their children trail behind
  

I know I'm going to have my worst moment on Sunday when DH and I argue whether to take the car or the tube. Take the tube and then find loads of empty free parking spaces in Piccadilly.

[MummyBtothree]

When next doors get all their family round for a barbecue as soon as the sun comes out with mouths like foghorns and blast out horrendous music insisting we all have to suffer it!!!!!!

[Nelc3]

There are quite a few things which make me angry!

1. When people gather outside shop doorways or entrances/exits and have a chat with someone else! Grrrr. Why can't they move to one side to let others pass?!
   

1. Why do people park in front of my driveway so I can't get out properly? Or I have to go over the curb to get in or out. Haven't they passed their driving tests? Contemplating bursting tyres but then they would be blocking me in for longer!
   

3.people who park in mother and child spaces when they obviously don't have any children or car seats in the car! This is one of the reasons why I get my groceries delivered, can't deal with those selfish people.

[DontFeedTheDailyFail]

I'm generally very calm, house mediator, find the positive in things don't get flustered but have a couple of things that really ruffle my feathers.

1Why not just replace the bloom-in loo roll when you've taken the last sheet.

2 Why not just admit you pinched/ hit/ tripped etc then say sorry and we can all get on with our lives. I love you DS2, but this particular defiance phase is one I know we're getting though but I wont miss one bit.

3 I know DS1 looks normal but he has a wrist band/ special pass/ queue buster entrance because of his very complex needs and diagnosed by many professionals Autism. If you choose to confront us over this you may just get to see just how different his behaviour can be and we invariably get to go home early with distressed child(ren) and spend months going over the incident with DS trying to make sense of it in his head. Just back off!

[poopoopoo]

I am usually quite a sweet birdie, however recently on my way home from work a cyclist decided to pull in front of me and cycle up the hill very slowly in the middle of the road. He decided at the brow of the hill to stop and wave me forward around him. ?? 'like I was going to trust a complete strangers to tell me to pull out onto the wrong side of the road on the brow of a hill' What is wrong with him? Did he always want to become a traffic officer and fail the exam?..... I did say a great deal of words and flapped my wings-whilst trying to manage the clutch pedal and hand brake!

[Andbabymakesthree]

[Angrybird] when you send a thoughtful helpful message to someone - often info which they've asked for- and all they can do is send a like back. Just say thank you ffs

[Andbabymakesthree]

and the old fashioned coding for Smiley's on MN

[StickChildNumberTwo]

People who make me feel like I'm in the wrong when I'm really not

[starray]

My Angry Bird moment was when my husband said it was my fault that we were late for school and work because I had woken up late. "Well", squawk I, "Since YOU woke up two hours before me, why am I dressed, ready and at the door BEFORE you?"
And then, he said it...the words which never fail to ruffle my feathers, overturn the roost, and turn me into a spitting, fighting, furious bird.
"You sit around all day doing God knows what...."
I may not be working full-time like him, but I can assure you, I do not sit around all day doing "God knows what". I am a stay-at-home mum, but I do lots - looking after the children, cleaning...I really don't need to justify what I do! I am not a lazy cow!!
Getting worked up just typing this post!
