Chewing with their mouth open/snapping gum

My blood boils
I start to shake
In my mind I envision myself punching the person in the face
I can not tolerate it

Re: Little things that send you into an insane rage???

Customer service people who talk too much...you dont need to know my name...really you dont at this stage becuase I am just inquiring...you dont need to know how my day is going..you dont need to know my phone number in case we get disconnected because lets face it you are not going to call me back anyway...and Then when we get through all of that nonsense and I find that for one reason or another you cannot answer my simple question and after wasting 20 mins of my life and you now have to transfer me to another department you then waste more of my time by thanking for for calling, telling me to enjoy the rest of my day, asking me if I have given you fantastic customer service and if you would be able to spare a few minutes to answer a survey on the customer service you received

My mil coming over to my house with bronchitis. Like really!?!? And then has to call me to tell me to watch the kids now. Thanks for that.

Also, being told to smile and cheer up. I answer the damn phone allllll day long. And I don't need some smary salesperson telling me to cheer up.

Re: Little things that send you into an insane rage???

DH snoring

People not saying thank you when I hold a door

People not holding a door for me when you had to have seen me right fking there

Obnoxious drivers

Men who treat their SO like a child in front of me. Makes me want to rip their balls off. Worse, when the SO just sits there quietly and takes it

People being excessively loud at a nice restaurant. Like to the point where other people can't have a conversation because you are screaming and cackling so loud the rest of the place can't interact w each other. Hellloooo, you're not the only people in the place and this isn't Applebee's.

When parents don't parent their children in public places.

KNOW IT ALLS!!! Omg. This one makes me furious.


There are so many. Maybe I should just live on an island alone lol

The overuse of the word "literally", people that walk slowly in Costco, Oved not winning his campaign for Senate...

Re: Little things that send you into an insane rage???

Moody/bitchy woe is me people

Lighten up! We all have bad days. They have one every single day

Grammar police. I'm not writing my term paper.

The people on the cold cut line who bother the poor worker 15 times to get it just as thin as they want while eating 9 pieces to decide

Not a flying rage, but I hate when I'm served at a counter (Starbucks, bagel, etc) and I say thank you and they respond "no problem."

I didn't say it was a problem you serving me and doing your job. I'm simply thanking you because it's the polite thing to do.

What happened to "you're welcome"? The other part of that simple polite exchange???

Wow, this rubs me the wrong way-- I think you're reading way too much into it.
I say "no problem! have a great day!" at work all the time & elsewhere... if I make DH dinner & he thanks me, I might say "no problem!"-- it may not be as formal as "you're welcome" but it means the exact same thing & he knows it.

It's common jargon now, the person is most likely not implying that it may have been a problem to help you with something & I am in NO WAY being rude or implying anything when I say it. If I didn't respond at all or grunted something without a smile, THAT would be rude. And if somebody ever commented on my "no problem" they'd get this: instead. Honestly, this makes it sound like you think you're somehow superior to the person serving you-- even though they are just "doing their job" they are still doing something for YOU.

JMO.

When someone tells me to calm down, especially if I wasn't making a big deal about something! It makes me crazy. That and when people don't say please and thank you.

Re: Little things that send you into an insane rage???

People who don't clear snow off their cars.

Parents who don't watch their kids/let them run amuck with no regard to fellow patrons at museums, play places, etc. yes, I get it. Your kid is excited but so is mine and we have been waiting in line to see/do ____ so get your kid and back the hell up. Teaching your kid to wait their turn is a good thing.

People who can't walk and talk on their phones. If you can't handle that, get off the phone because your holding up grocery store traffic.

When people tell me to smile. I am not here for your entertainment! I have a severe case of RBF, and I have been hearing that my whole life. Now that I am an adult if I hear that I tell them to say something funny and that usually throws them off. That or a really scary fake smile

That and the phrase "not so much" makes me rage. It's so immature.

The supermarket is usually the place where I decide that I want to leave society and go move to deserted island.
I get in SUCH a rage over the pure rudeness and selfishness of people.

Saturday night we stopped at the supermarket for a few items. It was a madhouse because of SuperBowl and the impending storm.
So I needed some frozen raspberries. We go down the aisle and there is a woman looking at the cool whip in the next freezer case. But she had her wagon blocking the frozen fruit case so I couldn't open the door. I wait. She gets out the cool whip and proceeds to read the label with her cart still blocking my way.
DH walks up and says to me, did you find the raspberries?
I say loudly, YES I found them! I can't seem to get to them though!
She looks up for a second, and then continues to read the label without moving.
I was about ready to take her cart and fling it out of my way, when she finally moved.

I told DH that one day it's not going to end well in the supermarket. One day I am going to wind up in a fist fight in frozen foods.

I just see RED!

I HATE when people don't say "thank you"..when people don't say it I say "you're welcome" loud enough for them to hear me to get my point across.

I also hate when people don't say excuse me. If you need me to move then just say "excuse me" and I will glady say "oh i'm sorry" and get out of your way but if you just push past me all huffy I will definitely say loudly "you know the phrase excuse me does exist and it works!"

I do it to cashiers and service people too. If the don't say thank you or have a nice day I will say directly to them "you have a nice day too"..

I am never rude just direct.

I work in customer service in a retail setting and the older I get the less I care too about confronting people and their rudeness. Its bad.

Re: Little things that send you into an insane rage???

Axe instead of ASK.

CUE-pons instead of coo-pons.

Real-a-tor pronounced wrong.


Seriously.

Re: Little things that send you into an insane rage???

Humblebraggers

And, ironically, people who fly into a rage too easily and too often. When it's happening that much, it's self-indulgent and immature.

You know the types--people who are ready to go at it--over anything--all the time.

I always wonder what made them so entitled/permanently angry.
