Irrational Rage

[Fuzzywuzzy]

I sometimes watch Salvage Hunters on quest. For some reason I feel this rage build up when the trevento wine advert comes on at the start and ad breaks. A group of ****y blokes lauding each other for the challenges they faced in their hobbies(?).

Doesn't make me drink the wine as much as put a bottle through the TV.

Anyone else experience irrational rage?

Watching Countdown and when they pick the letters, they have 4 crappy consonants and 4 vowels. It's plainly obvious they need another consonant as the other 4 are pants but nope they choose a vowel and end up with a 4 letter word, ****ing eejits.

[Wembley67]

I'm just an angry angry person full stop....I'm sitting at the airport just now and waiting for my beer, the wee lassies are making coffee and I'm angry that someone has the audacity to walk in and ask for a friggin coffee that takes maybe 1 min to make and not get an easily poured pint.

Oooooo the nerve!

[EH6 Hibby]

When someone takes the minus offer on the chase then ends up winning a share of the money. Usually they don’t answer any in the final chase either. Totally ruins my day when it happens.

When contestants on Eggheads look at the three possible answers and say it’s not answer 1 or answer 2, it’s answer 3. You weren’t asked what the answer isn’t, just give us the correct answer. It is funny though when they confidently rule out an option and it’s the right answer.

[Pretty Boy]

Another quiz one.

When people don't listen to a question properly and get an answer they obviously know the answer to wrong. As an exanple:

'The River Seine flows through the capital of which European country?'

'Paris'

They're actually expected to do that to flesh the programme out so that it fills the half hour slot - I know that because my pub-quiz team took part and came second. I dropped out because I'm too ugly for TV, but I knew the final answer that they got wrong (who was the Brylcreem Boy?).

Anyway, that brings me to my irrational rage subject - putting rubbish in to fill the time allotted to TV programmes. You see it on Football Focus when you get the initial intro, then a montage - usually with a barely relevant piece of music over the top - then 15 minutes in you'll get a similar montage, then they'll tell you what's coming up even though they've already told you twice before. The actual meat of the programme could be reduced to half the time.

Oh, and using the same pictures over and over again - particularly true of Channel 5 documentaries. I actually started counting them on one and got to 32 in an hour long show despite only starting after the first four or five. I know that's a bit sad, but you have to nurse your wrath to keep it warm.

[Smartie]

I get irrational rage about how difficult it can be to arrange the most simple of events. I got a ticking off earlier on today from Mrs Smartie for losing the plot trying to arrange to meet my Dad and her Dad (2 retired gentlemen) to have a cup of tea and discuss a fairly pressing business matter.

I gave up when it all looked like falling apart over a dog's bowel habits, their steadfast refusal to contact one another (instead leaving me to mediate, me who has no commitments whatsoever) and my partner adding about 60 conditions to the deal determining whether or not she would come with me, whether I could take the car, whether I should eat before I go etc etc.

She took my phone off me and sorted it in about 30 seconds.

My every day at work is the same, with people who cannot make appointments around their diaries.

I’ve often wondered if they’re told to do that as so many of them do it. Still annoys me though :greengrin

In a similar vein, programmes like Grand Designs where they basically repeat the original show and then have five minutes at the end of Kevin whatshisface going back to see how the house is doing five years later. Cheap filler and the barest minimum of new content.

Any time that sometime replies to a statement or answers a question when they've completely missed the point. This happens a lot in football punditry.

Q - that winning goal had more than a hint of offside about it but was the full back playing everyone on when the ball was played?

A - the rules are so clear now that level means onside and the striker is definitely interfering with play.

Apparently this is down to the very brief media "training" a lot of these pundits (or similar) receive. They're basically told to decide in advance what they want to say about any given subject and roll that out regardless of the question, safe in the knowledge that most folk won't even notice they haven't answered the question.

I find it infuriating too, particularly when the question is one I'd actually like some "professional" insight in relation to, rather than the clichéd questions that some presenters rely on. It's got to the point where I'll judge by the presenter and the panel whether it's worth watching the HT/FT analysis.

It's around this time of year I hate travelling on buses through the town. People standing waiting until the bus comes before getting on and raking through their bag looking for change or their bus pass. Have it ready ffs. Had about 4 or 5 Americans getting on the 42 the other day. Fair came to £10.40. They only had a £10 note and £1 coin and asked if anyone had change of 40p for the sake of losing 60p. I was seething inside.

A bigger source of rage for me is why our 'integrated' Transport For Edinburgh infrastructure doesn't accept contactless payments. 'Exact change only' seems ridiculously antiquated.

They could still use cash.

It just seems mental in the 21st century as we become and increasingly cashless society our local bus service has no contactless facilities available or even a top up system similar to the Oyster card.

I’m developing an irrational rage about the way Professor Brian Cox says the word kilometre. I’ve recorded his new show The Planets and it’s getting to the stage that I miss a lot of what he’s saying because I’m thinking why he keeps pronouncing it that way.

[Dav1986]

As a former waiter, I get a bit of a rage when watching something like Masterchef when they're cooking for finalists/critics etc and they only carry 2 plates through then come back for the third! A 3 plate carry is not difficult! You're on the clock and this would save you some time arsing about :grr::fuming:

Totally irrational as the wife keeps telling me but I can't help it!

[Jim44]

I’m going to London this weekend and was reading up on using ‘contactless’ on transport etc. I was a bit cheesed off as my ‘contactless’ card has started playing up this week. However, after a bit of ‘googling’ I’ve discovered that ‘Apple pay’ by IPhone is acceptable down there. Problem solved.

[overdrive]

The trouble is the m-tickets app is absolutely piss poor. The m-tickets app is one of my rages. It takes an age to activate a ticket so if you wait until you get on the bus you get an evil stare from the driver and the people behind you. If you activate it as the bus is approaching and are getting on a Bridges bound bus at Elm Row in the morning, you run the risk of not getting on the bus because it is full of students and school trips!

That’s another rage of mine. Not getting on the bus when it is “full”. The amount of times it happens where let’s say 6 people get off the bus but the driver only allows 4 people on is unreal. Recently there were 3 of us at the stop arguing with the driver who said the bus was full... we could clearly see at least 5 empty seats with only 3 people standing.

Can't say I have much issue with the m-tickets app. It's a bit on the basic looking side for what should be the capital's flagship public transport app but it has functioned appropriately 99% of the time for me. Had 1 hiccup once when my phone had rain water on it and wasn't opening the app as I ran to the bus. The driver just let me on though. Eventually got it working and activated a ticket out of guilt. :greengrin

Although I got on a tram recently the same way as I do buses and then realised you're meant to scan the tram stop QR code before getting on the tram. :rolleyes:

I work for a North American company. I fume inwardly every time Outlook changes my spelling of "OrganiZation" or when you have to put the month first in data formatting.

[The_Exile]

The only two things I can think of are spelling related. When folk spell lose as loose, and the recent uprising of ‘could of’ ‘should of’ ‘would of’ instead of could’ve etc, it’s obviously wrong and stupid but not greatly important, but the OCD part of my brain gets absolutely enraged by it.

[Scouse Hibee]

The OCD part of my brain drives me into a rage when I go to get something in the house and it's not where it should be. Keep telling the missus, if she put's everything back in the place where she got it from and where it belongs whenever she finishes using it then it always be there for the next person. There is a place for everything, that way you never lose things.

One that has started to annoy me lately is when you are having a conversation about football and you mention Rangers and you can guarantee one comedian will pipe up every time 'excuse me don't you mean The Rangers?'

That was funny a few years back, it's still quite funny seeing Rangers fans get annoyed about it now but is it necessary to mention it 10 times in a single conversation? We all get what the joke is, it just isn't that funny anymore and is just annoying really.

TV programs that feature foreigners speaking perfectly clear English, just with their respective accent like Jamaican, Indian etc. Always, always get subtitled as if they "need" it but get a presenter with a thick regional UK accent, often far less comprehensible then the foreigner, and there's not a subtitle in sight. Linguistic imperialism at its worst and boils my pish every time.

I'm at an all inclusive holiday and last year I thought to myself what a ridiculous amount of plastic waste goes on here. This was before Attenborough et all got involved and tbh before I really thought about it. I'd say 90% of people are know conscious to this fact as apposed to thsi time last time year.
This year they have stopped giving out straws and made separate bins for plastic cups etc, literally next to the waste bin and all clearly marked yet I'm still seeing the food waste overflowing with plastic and the plastic ones half full. It's just laziness.
Also the sheer greed of some people at the buffets. There is no need to pile a plate so it spills all over when you can go back as many times as you like. And the plates are always still left half eaten.

People who alter their drinks order and how much they drink because there is a free bar or someone else is paying. I drink lager or beer and will occasionally have a whisky. If I'm paying that's what I'll drink, if someone else is paying that is still what I'll drink.

We were out with work the other week and one of our office crew was pleading poverty all week and stressing she was only out for 'a couple'. First bar we went to she ordered 'the cheapest gin' and paid for her own. No problem with that, she always drinks gin when we are out. Then the boss came along and said the night was on him. Suddenly it was cocktails, double this and double that, champagne and all sorts. It was just embarrassing.

It seems to happen quite often. People find out they can get a free drink and go on a mission to guzzle down as much as they can to take advantage. ****ing winds me right up.

Totally agree.

I worked for HSBC years ago and our department put a night out on for us at Hopeton House (I think).

I had a very young family at the time so money and time were in very short supply. As it was a work thing and wasn’t going to cost much I got a pass for the evening and one off the women I worked beside agreed to give me a lift back to Dunfermline with her so I could drink (I usually always had the car if it was out of town).

Some fannies who thought they were city bankers hit the dearest whiskies right at the start of the night and effectively spent the tab inside about forty minutes, meaning everyone else got one or two pints at what was meant to be a big department event.

Inconsiderate tossers.

Folk who when out eating in a group don’t want to split the bill evenly because they never had a dessert or drank much etc. Does my nut in, once had a “friend” try the same in a group of five couples, embarrassed him by telling him to put his wallet away, if he was that hard up I would pay his bill for him. He never done that again in our company.

I eat with the same crowd most Saturday lunchtimes. Some don't (always) drink and some drink plenty. We generally have the non drinkers pay less then split what's left evenly.

It should also be remembered that some folk are tight for cash and they shouldn't be excluded because they have to watch what they spend. I'm happy enough to help these people out (we've all been there) instead of embarrassing them.

Aw come on mate, I’m not talking about non drinkers or folk that have to watch the pennies, we’ve all been there and I would never embarrass someone in that position. I am talking about general tight gits who maybe had one thing less or one coke instead of a beer on one round. There is no one in our company in these situations that has to watch pennies.

I cannot be arsed spending 10 minutes with everyone acting like Rainman trying to work out their share. Unless there is a big disparity like someone having a salad and someone else having a filet mignon then get on with it, split the bill and move on.

Often 1 of us will pay the whole bill to save the restaurant time and then get everyone's share sent via e-banking right away.

People who alter their drinks order and how much they drink because there is a free bar or someone else is paying. I drink lager or beer and will occasionally have a whisky. If I'm paying that's what I'll drink, if someone else is paying that is still what I'll drink.

We were out with work the other week and one of our office crew was pleading poverty all week and stressing she was only out for 'a couple'. First bar we went to she ordered 'the cheapest gin' and paid for her own. No problem with that, she always drinks gin when we are out. Then the boss came along and said the night was on him. Suddenly it was cocktails, double this and double that, champagne and all sorts. It was just embarrassing.

It seems to happen quite often. People find out they can get a free drink and go on a mission to guzzle down as much as they can to take advantage. ****ing winds me right up.

I see where you're coming from but at the same time the behaviour is completely normal...the boss turns up and you exploit that within reason of course. I'm a senior manager and I expect folk to take the piss with expenses, that's how it goes.

My Mrs calls the telly handset the buttons. That makes me irrationally angry for some reason.

Even though it's your Mrs that still winds me up.

My mum's legs are goosed so carers need to put her to her bed every night, every night without fail she asks my dad for her tablets, what she means is a handful of sweets, just ask for the effing sweets!

Did I mention middle lane hoggers?
Oh yes, I get annoyed with repeat posts on the same subject:-)

I sometimes watch Salvage Hunters on quest. For some reason I feel this rage build up when the trevento wine advert comes on at the start and ad breaks. A group of ****y blokes lauding each other for the challenges they faced in their hobbies(?).

Doesn't make me drink the wine as much as put a bottle through the TV.

Anyone else experience irrational rage?

Going back to this OP, I fully agree with you re that bloody advert, does my threepennies in, I'd happily slap the lot of them.

I’m not giving an opinion, I am stating fact, it is a remote control so shortened to remote will suffice anything else is wrong.😁

[Pete]

It’s definitely the remote.

You've put a smiley so I'll assume you're not being too serious. Of course it's a remote control, but like many other things some people choose to give it another name. 😁

Folk who when out eating in a group don’t want to split the bill evenly because they never had a dessert or drank much etc. Does my nut in, once had a “friend” try the same in a group of five couples, embarrassed him by telling him to put his wallet away, if he was that hard up I would pay his bill for him. He never done that again in our company.

So the friend is just expected to pay up for someone else's drinks and desserts each time he's out?

[Caversham Green]

Not sure if it fits in this thread or the pet peeves one, but the posters who make a statement then declare that anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded. In other words I'm right everyone else is wrong.

Arrogant bat's turds.

Missed the point completely.

[speedy_gonzales]

Missed the point completely.

The point being "irrational" rage?

[pollution]

The point being "irrational" rage?


I get both your points.

[lapsedhibee]

The point being "irrational" rage?

Isn't all rage irrational? :hmmm:

Rational people make me rage.

Rational people make me rage.

Especially if they are driving ONLY in the middle lane!!!

Not everyone owns contactless payment methods.

Doesn’t have to be exclusively contactless but to have the option would speed things up. London transport have contactless and it’s a breeze,

I'm right in the middle of some irrational rage and had to take time out before I have a stroke. I'm just an ageing Jock who likes to chill at my local spa. Nice steam room, sauna, gym, pool, free water and fruit all for a fiver all day. Today however I've a Russian who thinks he's mister ****ing universe, all huffing and puffing and grunting. Doing squats in the steam room ffs. Add to that the loudest cockney twat you've ever met on holiday all conspiring to **** up my day. My Thai wife of course is telling me I'm being a dick to let it annoy me and she's right of course but the thread is "irrational rage" Anyway thanks fellow Hibbies for giving me somewhere to vent 😜😜😜
