Things that make you disproportionately angry

[GrasB]

What about that bomb-proof plastic in which they wrap AA batteries, shaver blades, and small high value electronics????? You need a Stanley knife with a new blade to gain access to the new purchase.

The melted plastic stuff? Easy enough to get into if you know what you're doing - sharp craft knife, a cutting board & a short length of 15mm ally angle with a thin bit of rubber glued to one of the sides.

Sorry but came along late to this one and dont know if you have had-

People who drive around with their fog lights on for days after it was foggy (and then flash me for flashing them for dazzling me).
People who are somehow surprised that they need to get their wallet out and pay for whatever they have bought even though they have been in the queue in front of me for five minutes.

yes, i said that - but it 's not just days after it's foggy, it's all the time with some people.

That's all very well, until you are trying to open the packet containing a new pair of scissors/stanley knife etc as you have broken the old ones. BASTARDS

I get angry at two things really but it's 'allowed' because they are deadly sins. Two in particular:

Gluttony and greed. Hate hate hate these things. Particularly speaking with one's mouth full and poor table manners really wind me up...

If I'm allowed one more its those automated queueing systems call centres use to tell you that they're interested in talking to you when all they're actually doing is ignoring you!! Makes me so mad. It's an aspect of my annoyance at how incompetent sociopathic capitalist bureaucracies can have such a dramatic effect on one's life...

Doesn't anger me but it does irritate me that there are people who can't tell/refuse to acknowledge the difference between fog lights & aux dipped beam lights outside of the main light cluster. The aim is different, the pattern is different, the wattage is different & the usage is different.

a decent kitchen knife

Kirstie, it's worse than that - they are delaying answering because they want you to listen to their crap commercial, car dealers are really bad at this. Then you get a recorded message about the extraordinarily high volume of calls they are experiencing....at 4.30 on a Friday afternoon! This is supposed to make you think they are really popular. As soon as the message is finished the call is answered, which tells you you've wasted two minutes of your life listening to their crap.

The other driving annoyance is the tossers who sneak up your left hand side on the motorway then cut in in front of you. It happened to me once and I freely admit that I completely lost my rag; I sat right on the bloke's bumper with lights on full and horn sounding. My heart rate must have gone up to 180, I was absolutlely raging. The bloke suddenly pulled back in and dived down a slip road so he must have realised I was pretty pissed off with him. It was road rage, I admit it and it won't happen again. I still keep an eye in my LH mirror though on the motorway.

probably shouldn't have been camped out in the middle lane then should you!
don't you understand the meaning of 'keep left unless overtaking'?

 

[soulful dog]

Cricket and the fact it drags on for days on end but they feel the need to update you every ten minutes or so on Radio Five Live.

Oh, and waiting any more than a reasonable length of time.

 

[Happiness Stan]

People how take an eternity at ATMs and why do they request a receipt only to throw it on the floor?

Yes they must think people are stupid to believe a repeated recorded message about 'unusually high volumes of calls'. I am most offended when they try to advertise to me when I'm wasting my precious time in their queue. The trick is to choose the option which means you're giving them money - they always answer those ones the fastest - plead ignorance and then they'll put you through internally which is always quicker.

I try not to ring car dealers if at all possible!
