Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

[Alan Medic]

I love the dawn chorus too and hate this day where from now on in daylight hours get smaller. However what happens here is nothing compared to the sounds I have heard from birds early morning while camping in Queensland. What amazing sounds.

Pollen. The onset of hayfever season puts me off gardening and now suddenly the garden looks like it's exploded.

[Salsaboy]

What RPC says. I hate the itchy roof of the mouth feeling that hayfever brings. Drives me mad and particularly bad this year.

[seemster]

Banana Republic's terrible grasp of merchandising - I love their stuff but they always run out of UK size 10 and 12 in about a minute and all you can find is size 0/2/4. Aaargh...

[Loz]

The current Xbox ad where some 'famous' bloke (who is he??) answers the phone with a drawled 'Yo' at the end. Sets my teeth on edge.

[El Pibe]

but we say nineteen oh-four, so why not twenty?

That my phone lists calls I've rejected as "missed".

No, I didn't miss it. I could see it was a dodgy number and was probably going try and get me to reclaim non-existent PPI insurance or try to get me money for an accident I've not had. So I pressed the reject button so as not to waste any more of my precious time. So say "rejected call" not "missed call"!

Flies, fekkin Flies

The black ones, the blue green ones, the ones with white dots on. I HATE THEM ALL

I've a theory that they've (the flies) memorised a number of F1 tracks, and the fly circuits of these over my head, just to enrage me

I keep all things spick and span so not to attract them, but still they come, still they do their circuits, though I got my own back on some today

In a little side room to the garden they congregate the most. So I took a gas blow torch and fired it up and closed the doors and pursued them with the vigour of a MIG fighter pilot.

Of course they know to avoid heat, but eventually after a few fly-bys they get caught by a lick of flame and a satisfying crackle brings them down, though some need further attention to finish the job

I realise its a totally irrational method that could burn my hose down, but THEY'VE DRIVEN ME DO IT

Not sure about your hose but your house could be in danger.

"Congrats" - whether written or spoken.

If you can't be bothered writing it out properly or saying an extra three syllables then I question the sincerity of your congratulations. Really, don't bother.

[Jeremy]

Wow... that's a bit touchy isn't it?!

[Earl Aelfheah]

People on rush hour trains who seem to be unaware of the fact that they are wearing a rucksack. Did you not put that on yourself? You're like a chuckle brother with a ladder FFS.

Agreed.

I use that word all the time in txts etc & I can assure you that I'm sincere.

Agreed... but would expand it to any passengers who don't use the space effectively and prevent others from boarding. Also people who dawdle around the platform aimlessly, getting in peoples way and preventing them from getting onto that train which is about to leave!

99% of tube passengers, then.

[the-e-dealer]

People with bags who put them on the floor in trains in the corridors blocking access and the other 4 seats. Knuts!

[Jeremy]

And people who decide to put their bags/shopping/lunch on the seat next to them. Nobody should have to say "excuse me can you please move your crap, you selfish idiot".

[Help-Ma-Boab]

I had a shouter on the train this morning. Move down carriage, lots of room etc. I'm all for that and always move down. This woman though, moved into the vacant space with a massive rucksack on her back. Didn't take it off or make any attempt to clear a bit of space herself. Mind boggles.

Probably, but I refer you to the title of the thread.

[BrandNewGuy]

The euphemism "affordable housing". You mean "cheap", don't you? No-one talks about getting "affordable flights" with Ryanair and EasyJet, for instance. But I suppose no-one likes to think of themselves living in a cheap house.

[the-e-dealer]

Well its not a euphemism. Its meant to mean cheap enough for the less well off to buy and often you can get 10-40% of cheaper home on a site. . However the definition isn't clear and noone the price isnt defined anywhere. . Builders aren't building - or not building euphemisms.

[BrandNewGuy]

"Affordable" means it can be afforded. All houses are affordable to somebody. "Cheap enough for the less well off to buy" is not a euphemism. "Affordable" is.
