Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

[ducaticatty]

I don't mind the buses... but taxi drivers who go down the bus lane at the bottom of Dog Kennel Hill before the ED train station bridge, triggering the traffic lights to make you stop... even though they could have driven down the normal lane like a normal human being. I've been behind them at stupid o'clock in the morning and they STILL do it! Grrrr...

People who describe items for sale as "tasteful" and "attractive" when the attached photo shows they're clearly neither ......

[ruffers]

People who don't find things in the last place they look

[wee quinnie]

Of course! And therein lies the problem....

Apologies for the boldness of a Newb, but this struck quite a chord with me, I hate many many television adverts with a passion.

For starters, that car advert where people are tying balloons to their vehicles and sending them off to the heavens, don't these people now how irrsponsible and dangerous this is ?

Iggy Pop

The Aviva advert with Ringo Starr asking if he'd have been as famous if he'd still been called Richard Starkey, erm yes probably, unless it was your stage name that got the Beatles gig............big nosed scouse hating c*ck.

Compare the Meerkat.com

People dropping litter, (esp Council Workers)

On Facebook, I really really really hate it when people write LOL and XOXOXOX type stuff. Also status shuffle really makes me want to puke.

Think you need to see a doctor, doctor...

On the subject of adverts that get me really cross...

- The one with people claiming to be PCs, especially the new ones with young children...no you're not, you're a human being which is far preferrable.

- Lloyd Grossman trying out his bolognese sauce in Bologna. The people are clearly all actors who smile falsely and never even offer an opinion on his sauce.

I have to leave the room when they come on to stop myself arguing with the TV.

Blood pressure rising...........

and for that, I thank you :))

Facebook, MSN messenger, Twitter, etc

[Moos]

People who don't cut their hedges and trees back so you have to limbo down the street.

Parents who have those two-seater buggies where one poor child sits at the back with nothing to look at.

The kids always look really miserable.

Would the parents like to be walked around staring at a blank wall all day?!

I'm sure they're easier to get in and out of shops etc, and I know from personal experience that it's a nightmare in small shops and on buses with a double buggy where the kids sit side by side, but surely that's preferable to making one of your kids have absolutely no stimulation apart from being able to see out of the sides a bit?

Actually I suppose it causes me sorrow rather than irrational rage ......

[TillieTrotter]

I have a tiny little thing that's caused me to rage today. He just kicked over my beautiful hall mirror and smashed it! Not his fault as he's a tiny little thing and I shouldn't have allowed him near it.

['bout now]

6 cans of Stella, always makes me angry.

stepping on an upturned plug - causes much anger and extreme pain

[charliecharlie]

ouch!

or stepping on a child's hard plastic toy, like a logo block... agony,

nearly prevented a friend from running the marathon, as he bruise the heel of his foot so badly

[wee quinnie]

Bugbear du jour:

People thanking you by writing "thanx".

Makes me incandescent with rage.

[Dr Proctor]

Button down collars, a filthy abomination.

interviewees constantlty using the words 'you know' at the end of every sentence, professional sportsmen are possibly the worst culprits, you know.

Being told in M&S London Bridge that it's "company policy" that their free bags may only hold 3 items and I must pay 5p per bag for extra bags. It's meant to be a quick stop shop for commuters. When I asked where this policy was promulgated was shown a small notice well above eye level on a pillar and 7ft off the ground

[Brendan]

Tell them it?s your policy not to be told what to do by a clothes shop put your first 3 items in the ?free? bag, the rest under your arm and put them in the bag as soon as you leave the counter.

[Marmora Man]

ell them it?s your policy not to be told what to do by a clothes shop put your first 3 items in the ?free? bag, the rest under your arm and put them in the bag as soon as you leave the counter.

Almost exactly what I said as I stuffed items into my jacket and asked to see the management - who could not come up with a decent rationale for the policy. My rant kept them busy for 10 minutes - and no-one in the queue was bothered as they seemed to support my position.

I can see the rationale but don't agree with it - it's a busy shop, mostly commuters on the way home. Most can't be arsed to argue / complain about an extra 5p. M&S therefore use less of the cheapo plastic bags, thus saving money, plus they get an "eco" boost by giving the money made from the 5p bag sales to charity.
