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! 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 Angry Bird moment was …

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. Angry 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!

My Angry Bird Moment happened this week when I ordered a skip only to find my neighbour filling it with stuff before I got back from the school run! was half full when I got back Wouldn't mind but it was in my garden not on the road so he was throwing it over the fence...needless to say he had to remove it all. Wouldn't have been do Angry Bird If he had asked first.

Spent ages trying to find a parking space in St Ives and spotted the last one in a car park. DP drove towards it and the space was clearly ours but another car tried to jump the que. I jumped out of the car and sat in the parking space. The car park attendant locked himself in his office. The other car eventually backed off

Discovering halfway through a holiday that I hadn't actually lost my mind, nor forgotten a load of toddler essentials. My husband had decided my packing of all the sleeping stuff together,all the feeding stuff together etc wasn't efficient and repacked rolling spoons inside socks stuffed into his shoes. I fear I might swing for him if he ever touches my system again. Angry Bird

My innerAngry Bird comes out when a client says they need something urgently so I work late, at the weekend or, even worse, skip lunch to get it to them. And then they don't look at it until weeks later. Grrr.

So many Angry Bird moments
People not acknowledging/thanking you when you give way/let them past when driving
People who park next to my car so I struggle to get in, despite the car park being empty
People who sit behind me in the cinema with bags of noisy sweets
My DD aged 7 who takes forever to get ready in a morning
DH asking what's for dinner - then "oh, I didn't fancy that" ... make it yourself next time!

I could probably go on forever!

Automated call centres that spend 5 minutes putting you through endless choices to then tell you that no-one is available to take your call and cut you off... Angry Bird

I feel like I am constantly in Angry Bird mode internally with a mini running commentary in my head of all the awful things I'd like to say to people annoying me but being very British I just smile and suck it up Grin far too polite to make a scene.

People standing far too close to me today in the supermarket - would you like a piggyback to the till?

Lady at Costa reading my newspaper over my shoulder - buy your own!

Ds 6 walking alongside me like he's attatched to my hip, then deciding to 'swap' sides with no warning and nearly getting wiped out as I try not to trip over him

Hmm, suspect I have personal space issues.... or I'm just a bit hot and sweay today and need some room!

I'm a teacher...Do not and I mean DO NOT make a comment about my long holidays, working from 9 til 3 or that you think I earn too much for being a 'glorified child minder' as some charming person said to me the other day. They really did see my Angry Bird.

My angry bird moment was finding out that a man I had been seeing for a few months had recently come back from a supposed ' guys holiday' with his girlfriend of 5 years. Needless to say there were several angry words used along with an instant dumping!

seems like doing that a lot at home when my son does not seem to follow my instructions. I gradually find out yelling is actually less effective than lowering my voice:)

My most recent angry bird moment was on a Monday morning, 4 DC all ready for school on time (for once!) and I can't find the car keys. Call my DH who is already on the train half way to work, as he had drove the day before.
"Where are the car keys?" I asked curtly.
"Did you check on the kitchen table?"
"Yes!"
"Did you check on the mantelpiece?"
"Yes- if I hadn't I wouldn't be calling you!" I snort increasingly irate.
"Well, they must be there somewhere...."
"You had them last night. WHERE DID YOU PUT THEM??!!! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!"
Loooong pause and scuffling noises.
"Oh, they're in my pocket. Sorry", he eventually replies overly nonchalantly, which really gets my goat!
Cue me screaming in frustration, hanging up and ringing a taxi, who promptly tell me it will be a 30 minute wait. Then when I explain the situation and ask if it could be any quicker, they casually tell me "It's rush hour don't you know". No kidding! Aaaaaaaaagh!!!!

As a very British Angry Bird, failure to respect the sanctity of a queue will induce rage like little else.
When you're next to be served in a long queue, and they open up another counter/till - and someone languishing at the back rushes forth to be served first at the newly opened one. Arghhhhhh!

It's a total cliché but a certain time of the month I'm permanently Angry Bird.

There are a few things that are guaranteed to bring out my inner Angry Bird

Angry Bird I spend hours on Friday cleaning and tidying the whole house, kids are home for five minutes and there are clothes/toys/books everywhere but it's never them.

Angry Bird walk in the door from the school run to get "mum can I have/do/watch/go" "mum he's being mean" "mum where's my book/toy/bag/drink" "mum, mum, mum, mum" all at once from different children while I'm trying to get in and get them to put their bags/coats/shoes away.

Angry Bird when the laptop decides to update when I'm trying to get an essay done.

Angry Bird when the children walk past the sink with their plate/bowl and put it on the worktop instead of in the sink.

Angry Bird school mornings when I have to drag the children out of bed and constantly nag them to eat, drink, get dressed, brush teeth, brush hair, get bags all to a soundtrack of whinging and whining that they're tired.

Possibly the worst Angry Bird is weekend mornings when the children bounce out of bed at the crack of dawn and wake me up when I've spent all week trying to get them up for school.

Driving - When people fail to signal and don't thank me when I pull in on a narrow road to let them pass

Shopping - People who stand in the middle of an aisle blocking the way and then glare at you and fail to move when say 'excuse me'

Walking - dog walkers who fail to pick up after their dog or leave bags without picking them up later

Parenting - Parents who spend all their time on their phones and ignore their children.

Children - Terrible two tantrums that are very extreme but end quickly leaving the child all happy and having to carry on all cheery when you still feel worn to a frazzle

Personality - Conscientious people such as myself who get anxious and angry at everything!!
