When my wife leaves the shower head selector set on just the wand, so when I turn on the shower, I get a blast of clod water on my penis.
Edit: because some are calling this user error for not warming up the shower water first… shower door is at one end of shower stall, can’t reach faucet from doorway. Have to get in the shower and face the faucet/shower head to turn it on. When the setting is left in the “both” position (wand and shower head together), the arc of water spray is lower, so it doesn’t hit me when I turn it on, and I can let it warm up before I step into the flow. This both setting is how I always leave it, and almost all of the time my wife does, too. But rarely (enough so that checking the setting every time is almost never beneficial), she leaves it on the wand only setting. It’s a super minor inconvenience, but it pisses me off and I yell “FUCK!”
Someone chewing loudly, someone popping gum, someone clicking a pen, someone jingling change, whistling. Using filler words like ummm, like, but, so after every thought.
You’re at a left turn light that lasts only five seconds max and the person in front of you is looking down at their phone while the traffic light is burning green. Bonus points if they notice in just enough time for only themselves to make the light.
when my hair elastic snaps while I’m trying to put my hair back. I have dozens of those fucking things but it never fails to give me a massive rage boner.
If I stop at an intersection at the same time as a car on the right and the driver waves me through. They have the right of way. Just go. There’s a rule for this. You aren’t being polite, you’re messing up the system. I know it’s irrational but like…we literally PLANNED for this.
I used to live and go to college right by Hollywood and Vine. I was always in a rush to classes. But since we were right on the Walk Of Fame, tourists were always stopping to take pictures of the stars with no concept that it was still a fully working sidewalk. Frustrated me to no end.
Being behind someone at cashier and they have some type of complex transaction going on that seems to take 10 minutes and not caring about anyone behind them
Losing my keys. Which I do frequently because I have adhd. I become extremely irrationally angry knowing I could have prevented this by not being a dumbass in the first place.
When people don’t treat grocery store lanes like they’re driving a car. Stay on your side of the isle, keep your cart out of the middle, stop stopping and blocking my way. The worst is when people push around their carts and almost hit you because they’re not paying attention.
I also unfortunately live in a red town of boomers who just do not give a flying fuck about anyone but themselves.
When my someone adds water to an empty bottle of soap several times vs just refilling it. I get it if you’re out of soap and are trying to get by, but if you have more just refill it.
My husband and I are on the same Spotify Premium account. He gets free audiobooks because he is the “account manager” . I love audiobooks and I’m so salty about it.
People or groups of people who take up the entire sidewalk or aisle with no regard for anyone else around them. And if they’re walking and then just randomly stop in the middle of the aisle? Monsters. All of them.
When your heading towards the elevator and you find yourself having to run instead of walk because someone decided to be a good Samaritan and hold the door open for you today.
Auto-formatting that I don’t want and can’t figure out how to un-do, especially involving spacing or indents! Makes me so mad! Why am I instantly furious! Just put it back!!
Safety seals. I get angrier when there’s two and look out if there’s three. Never had a four but if I did my head would explode. If I ever win the lottery I’m going to hire someone just to open safety seals for me.
When a person getting on the elevator blocks me from getting off, AND they push in to the elevator. Doesn’t every adult know that the rule is let people off first?
People standing or walking slowly on the moving walkways at the airport while blocking passage. Also the two pussies behind them who won’t say “excuse me” so we all get stuck.
When I’m waiting for a car to pass by so I can pull out onto the road and they end up turning in where I am at the last second, no turn signal or anything.
Try to plug USB cable into USB port, oops wrong way. Flip it over, that way’s wrong too? Flip it back to how it was before, this time it works. THEN I WAS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, WHY DIDN’T IT GO IN?
My Samsung TV likes to randomly turn on a couple minutes after I turn it off. All I have to do is press the button to turn it off again, but it makes me want to put the TV in the alley and run over it a couple times.
Allowing a car to merge in front of me, then I try to close the gap and another car gets in front. I guess just cutting in general pisses me off. I’ve definitely had people force their way in when they could have just zipper merged behind me.
When you’re at a four-way stop and the person with the right-of-way insists you go first out of politeness. It would all be more efficient to follow the rules of the road!
This might only relate to nurses, but when I pass meds out (I work in LTC), the meds come in blister packs where each pill is numbered from 1-30. Generally, it’s assumed that you start the pack at #30 and go in order until you get to the last pill. At my job, some nurses pop the blister packs completely out of order. I bite my tongue over it because as much as it infuriates me, at the end of the day it doesn’t actually affect the care I give to someone. It’s just a pet peeve. End rant.
I think we have to get through at least 6 cycles before we can reuse one as well. Then you have to change it on outlook, teams, and a few other apps as well.
A close second at work might be annual reviews. First, they make us fill out a bunch of stuff about ourselves and give us a deadline and act like it’s super important to get it done. They’re not tied to raises or bonuses or anything. If you get a rating that exceeds expectations (which basically you give yourself and then your boss has to agree) you stay in the same job the same as meets expectations or needs improvement. It’s honestly just for HR to check a box and justify their jobs. I say it’s a minor inconvenience because it’s once a year, you click 1-5 on a bunch of topics, and then write a sentence or two about what went well and what can be improved on. It’s just annoying is all.
People who get in their car to leave, and they sit there, and sit there, and… sit there. Meanwhile, I wait with my blinker on indicative that I’m waiting for them to pull out. Realizing they are on their phone. Grrr.
Having the elastic go in one leg opening of my underwear. They’re perfectly fine though loose in one leg. NBD, right? Nope. Wedgie every time I stand up.
When my belt loop gets caught on a door handle. Formerly when my worker headphones would get caught and rip out of my ears. I’m getting ragey just thinking about it
I go to panic catch things I drop and this begins the constant cycle of me juggling the object in a panic just trying to grab hold of the stupid thing so it doesn’t hit the ground and alert everyone around me that I’m being my usual self again
I swear I hear them the nano second they start to cry and it always grind my gears. If I complain to my bf, roll my eyes or sigh he is always surprised because he didn’t even notice before
I’m a male and I absolutely hate when walking by some dude and he something “hey buddy” wtf this stranger calling me buddy for and I’m not your little kid. Fuck off. I feel like servers maybe feel that way when a guest calls the hun or darlin
Darlin hun beautiful anything like that makes me feel like they are sexualizing them or belittling them and putting the server in a place beneath them. Idk
People who don’t use blinkers! Really toasts my cookies! It’s not an option. ALL cars come with them. Just use them. That’s all I ask. Use your freaking blinkers people.

When gas powered vehicles use a diesel pump when there are other gas pumps available. Some stations only have 2 (or 4 if you’re lucky) diesel pumps.
