The Department for Petty Rage

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Do you have a petty rage? Tell all here.

Mine is that my tv remote batteries died, they’re those stupid tiny triple A ones, and the only spares it transpires I have, I put in a sex toy I’ve never used months ago and they’re also dead now. I went to the corner shop to buy new ones, and had to buy wine (because those are the rules) and when I got back realised my tv wasn’t plugged in properly. Raging doesn’t even come close

Your turn

Why don't people cover their mouths when they cough anymore? I don't mean children, I mean adults. And spitting too.

Go to your room and come out when you can behave like a human being. In the meantime, you're disgusting.

There are people unfamiliar with retail. They obviously live off the land, off the grid, using barter. Cos they wait WAIT until they get to the checkout to rummage around for the money, not get it in the queue no wait. And we can all wait too. Cos their time is precious and ours is just something to be wasted.

Rant over.

I've got a genuinely useful piece of advice for this. If you think a remote is dead, open your phone camera & point the remote at it. Press any button. If it is working, you should see a little light flash/flicker in the camera view (doesn't work for fancy Bluetooth ones). No flashy light means you've gotta buy batteries and wine

Maybe you have a fancy remote? Maybe I need to be more specific, it works with any IR remote. Make sure the IR sensor is facing the camera & press a button, you'll see a blue light. Bluetooth remotes, ones for firesticks etc work differently so maybe that's the issue

So many things…. people who stop dead when they get off an escalator - where the do they think everyone else behind them will go? People who take off their coats or bags and allow them to encroach on your share of seating space on trains, cinemas etc. People who block whole sections of supermarket aisles with their trolleys and have zero awareness of those around them. People who let their kids cause disruption and do nothing to try and keep them under control. I could go on…

I literally never check train times in London cause I assume they're all delayed anyway. As long as it's not the last one I'm missing I'll just get there and usually only wait for 2 minutes having missed it by 10 according to the apps

In London it's famously to the right. It says it everywhere and everyone does it. But some people who I guess don't understand logic will stand alone on the left side where people walk up (everyone in London is in a rush) and just think that that's all totally fine

I'd love to know what the initial reasoning was. Although things have changed, I think it's still generally a cultural habit to over-take on the right.

"I'm glad I asked! I would 100% have assumed that you stand on the left and walk on the right. To me, that seems far more intuitive, but now I know!

Thanks.

To be fair I'm with you there BUT I didn't make the rules. And the rules are stated genuinely on boards EVERYWHERE

I'd love to know what the initial reasoning was. Although things have changed, I think it's still generally a cultural habit to over-take on the right.

I presume that's why I would have made that mistake. Ah, fuck it, I'll just keep avoiding London!

Some of mine have been mentioned by others already, like the people taking up the whole pavement & walking hella slow.

Adverts on YouTube. I didn't want to download tik-tok the first 20,000 times you interrupted my video, #20,001 is not the charm.

People taking long at the cash machine. Emptying out their whole handbag trying to find money on their credit card, debit card, Visa, Amex card, nectar card christmas card & god knows what else. YOU ARE BROKE ffs..

People with off-leash dogs in the park. I don't care if fido is just a puppy & "only wants to play", I fucking don't!

On a related note, something that used to really annoy me back when I was younger was when they would let their dogs loose right next to the bit where me & my friends were playing football. Clearly done on purpose as well just to be a disruptive wanker.

When I go to chip shop and I ask for the sauce on my chips before they put the cheese on.

Every single time the reply is something like this "yes no problem, I understand" ... but every damn time they don't do it ! And to annoy me even more they them slam the lid down on the sauce when I'm pleading with them not to do it.

I know it's silly but I want what I want... I mean how hard can it be to put the sauce on first !

Then to top it all off they give me a wooden fork to eat it with.

I agree! You have to put the sauce before the cheese in order to get an even distribution of sauce over the chips

, if you do it the other way all the cheese and sauce just sticks to the top of the lid

People that take stuff off the shelves in supermarkets, then decide they didn't actually want said item, so they nonchalantly deposit it on whatever shelf they happen to be near at the time.

This often means refrigerated stuff (like a steak, for example) end up somewhere like the biscuit aisle, before ultimately going to waste...really does piss me off!

The clue is that the escalator is a mile high and every other fucker is stood on the right! This gets me raging to the point where I now cycle everywhere in London.

Also - dawdlers, people that stop dead - usually in front of doorways, people on phones not looking where they are going, cyclist that cycle through pedestrians when the green man is showing, cars that speed up to turn left only to then realise they will cut me up and have to wait anyway, actually virtually every car/van driver, electric scooters (grr), people that leave cupboard doors and drawers open, leaving the toilet seat up....

Apparently the original design of the tube escalators was different. You didn't step of the end but to the side. On the tube, the exit was to the left so people were asked to stand on the right to allow people to pass and be able to get off.

Search for "escalator etiquette" on Wikipedia for more details.

I get dms from people who simply don't do forums. I have no annoyance with them. Maybe they are uncomfortable with the forums or want their privacy and choose to message directly because they're being true to themselves.

"But when a regular poster chooses to dm it does land with me that they are being less than straight somewhere, either with me or with the forum, to craft and protect their image/rep.

That last line is key.

I guess with regular posters it can be different to a total stranger PM'ing in response to a forum post. If you've had interactions in threads before and replied to each other then a private message to not clog up a thread is different. Hell - sometimes I wish people would do that more often instead of turning someone else's thread into a personal chat!

But jumping to a private message is still cringy IMHO if it's because you see it as a means of hiding a private view from the wider public, or if it's just to blow smoke up someone's arse.

I went to the supermarket for some specific mince pies and a small Christmas pudding to last for a few more weeks. They were gone...every last one of them. Only ones left were the ones no one was interested in at any time.

They won't have those mince pies again because they change the recipe every year.

People who listen to music or watch films on public transport through their phone's speaker. Just buy some earphones.

People who cycle on the pavement. I'm much against hunting with dogs but I'd be prepared to make an exception for this.

Instagram. Full of 'recommended for you', 'because you liked', etc. i have to wade through all that crap just to see any posts from people I'm following.

I'm getting old!

I concur with YOLO. This is a bugbear with me too.

And for those who are wondering what the "Tube" is: it's the London Underground, the 'subway', the 'metro', the antiquated subterranean rapid transit rail network.

I sorted all the various spoons at work into different containers. They all had a place to live.

I had one day off. One.

Upon my return the next day the spoons were all slung in the containers without care, without sorting dessert spoon from sundae spoon from soup spoon or teaspoon. All a jumble.

I went Uri Geller on a sundae spoon or it would have been someone's neck I was bending.

I honestly nearly cried over fucking spoons.

And don't leave a blank line between the quote and their reply so when it's next replied to their comment and your one they replied to looks like one persons message

That’s what chauffeurs are for. I love driving, but being driven is a much better option in that part of the city.

Yes, but my landaulette is currently in for a service.

Therefore the Tube beckons...until someone starts standing on the left of the escalator.

"People who don't use the quote function"

And people who *do* use the quote function but quote ALL of the previous replies. So you end up with 8 paragraphs of quotes just to get to their reply of "Yes."

"When I go to chip shop and I ask for the sauce on my chips before they put the cheese on.

I know it's silly but I want what I want... I mean how hard can it be to put the sauce on first !

Then to top it all off they give me a wooden fork to eat it with.

I'd be raging if anyone tried to put cheese on my chips!

Chips then garlic and chill sauce before the chips.

Give it a go you might like it. Anyone let us all know if they know someone who works in a chippie or kebab shop who is capable of doing it.

I agree! You have to put the sauce before the cheese in order to get an even distribution of sauce over the chips

, if you do it the other way all the cheese and sauce just sticks to the top of the lid

Correct
