30 Things That Immediately Make People Angry Because They Are So Annoying, As Shared In This Online Group
When talking about things that drive us crazy, we often use the phrase "like a red rag to a bull", referring to the Spanish bullfights. In fact, of course, it is not the red rag itself that irritates the bull - after all, they do not distinguish colors at all, but its flickering and the noise of the crowded arena. But the phrase has taken root, and now it is most often referred to by people.
And indeed, there are things and situations that, unfortunately, are quite common in our lives, for which literally a moment is enough to turn an ordinary and very satisfied person into, let's say, the Hulk on minimum bid. And there are plenty of such things in the world around us.
There is a popular thread in the Askreddit community where the author of the original post asked the question: "What immediately makes you angry?" As of today, the thread has over 1.5K upvotes and nearly 3.2K comments. What can we say? We had no idea that things that seem so completely harmless at first glance can drive people into a frenzy!
If you're intrigued, it's time to start scrolling through this selection of the most popular, unexpected and really annoying comments that Bored Panda has made especially for you. So, please, feel free to read for your pleasure, mark the submissions you like most of all and be sure to scroll to the very end.
By the way, let's add one more thing that literally makes us mad - the absence or a small number of comments on posts. This is by no means a call to action, but we are so extremely happy when we see your comments - why not please us once more?

People hurting animals
Deborah Harris2 3 years ago (edited)
Anyone who hurts animals and children will have a special place set out for them in the bowels of Hell ... and if they don't ... i'll drag them there screaming myself!

People abusing children is number one on my list.
Hill Branda 3 years ago
This should be at the top. Why have kids if you hate them enough to hurt them? Don't have kids if you can't handle stress or frustration.
#3
People who let their kids run wild in Supermarkets.
#4
People who are rude to fast food workers and store clerks. Like, they're doing you a service, why be rude? It ain't the cashiers fault the McRib ain't on the menu.
Hill Branda 3 years ago
Seriously, do you really want to p**s off the people handling your food?
#5
Calling a gigantic corporation knowing full well I will speak to a robot for the first 5 minutes, on hold for the next 30, to explain my situation to 3 different people, of which none will help me.
zak 3 years ago
Whenever I call a place that has an automated call system like that, I just say "close my account" or "cancel my service". In most cases that will get you routed to their customer retention department and you get a live person right away. Those are also the best agents to ask about getting a discount or promotion, because they typically have access to the best/largest discounts.

Waking up before your alarm thinking you still have a couple of hours to sleep. Then you check your phone and realize you only have a few minutes.

Happened this morning! Oh good I've have time to sleep more...Alarm clock: "SURPRISE M**********R!"

People
Deborah Harris2 3 years ago
I think my lack of love for crowds of people has got worse as i've got older, when younger I went to many festivals and concerts it never bothered me. Now it's like where the hell did all these people come from .... go away!!!🥺
#8
People not using turn signals properly.
Hill Branda 3 years ago
Indeed! Turn signals aren't just to alert other drivers of your intended actions but also help to prevent accidents. If you don't use your turn signals, you're not just a dumbass, you're a threat to the safety of others.
#9
People who are never on time. When I say I’ll be there at 5pm I expect you to be ready and walking out the door when I pull up.

I love my SO. He is a wonderful man, but his tendency to dawdle, especially when we are about to leave to go somewhere, makes me want to rearrange his face.

Here's my sort of mantra for this kind of thing: Early is on time, on time is late, and late is never, which means you might as well not go. Idk, it helps me be on time better for me, might help a few people out.
Anyone-for-tea? 3 years ago
I don’t know, as someone with chronic fatigue among other things if someone is more than 5 mins early arriving at my house, it throws me out. I have a friend who can be up to half an hour early, and I’ll still be in my pjs needing a shower.

I hate this as well. People who are constantly late are constantly rude. Everyone will be late once in awhile due to unforeseen circumstances, but to be late all the time is the sign of a narcissist. They only think of themselves, so other's people time is irrelevant. If someone is always late to meet you, it means they don't give a rat's butt about you.
Ryan-James O'Driscoll 3 years ago
That can be true of people who are egregiously late all the time, but some people struggle with time. I have ADHD and timekeeping can be a significant issue. I work hard to be non-disruptive, but even when I am on time, I am rushing.

I know people whom, would ALWAYS be 1 hour late to EVERYTHING. Finally stopped inviting them over. So annoying. And wouldn't check phone/ email but every 3 days.
Jeff Gabrisl 3 years ago
As someone with multiple chronic health issues, I hate this mentality. I always give myself plenty of time to get ready, but I can't control when my IBS is going to have me on the toilet multiple times. I also can't control traffic, and I'm not leaving my house an hour before my workday starts just to make sure that I get to work on time when it should be a 40 minute drive. Work won't let me clock in early or pay me for that time, so they aren't getting it. Also, I'm sure all of you who are complaining are the type of people who deduct money from a server or deliver driver tip if food doesn't come out fast enough...
PolymathNecromancer 3 years ago
You said it all. I have such things plus Behavioral Health conditions on top. I am tired of being judged for being late. At this point I generally just never make any plans with anyone intolerant. Yes, that's exactly what thus is, despite how "right" people want to be. And on top of that, most of the interesting people I have known are easily distracted because they are always noticing little interesting things..... Rather have this than be on time. Won't be trading sniffing flowers for regimentation anytime soon, especially since growing up around those intolerant control freak clock worshippers fueled the bejesus out of my same Behavioral Health conditions....

When people are constantly late, and know they are, I always want to ask why they don't give themselves more time to get there, but then others call me the rude one like I wasn't waiting.

I despise those who are always late. No matter what always late. I know people who will be late to their own funerals.
Mel The Axolotl 3 years ago
This annoys me too. 5 min is ok, but like 15? Nah. My dad will know we have to be somewhere at 3 so he'll jump in the shower at 2:55. It's very annoying and my mom gets anxiety about being late so it doesn't help her at all

I know enough to tell those people to meet me forty five minutes early so they are actually on time
Eastendbird 3 years ago (edited)
I have a friend who's a full on Christian - I mean worked as a missionary in a foreign country level of commitment. And she was always chronically late, every time, to everything. I think the only true argument we ever had was when I tried to explain to her why I felt this was wrong or "a sin" in her parlance. She could not seem to grasp that it affected other people in negative ways. And yet when the hairdresser cancelled her appointment because she was so late, she was furious!

People not picking up after their dogs.
Not sure if it makes me angry, but maybe close. Especially since when I'm walking my dog, I don't want people to think it's me who is the culprit.
T.Milly 3 years ago
What makes me even more disgusted with some of my dog-walking neighbors is the fact that 3 of them bag their pup's poo only to drop the bag on my property. Why bother bagging it if you're just going to leave it? Oh, that's right. You people are making life easier for me because I can just pick the bags up and put them in the trash. NO! BRING THE BAG OF POO HOME WITH YOU AND THROW IT OUT YOURSELF.

Slow walking people in the middle of the pavement lol
Squirrelly Panda 3 years ago
Tge slow and steady, not a big deal, you can usually pass with a polite excuse me. The infuriating slow walkers step sideways in front of you just as you are about to pass. It's like a super power, they know the worst way to step without ever looking.

When people fake diseases and disorders for attention. No Sarah, you aren’t autistic and dreamsexual. It’s personality you lack, not chromosomes

When I'm Cut off in a Conversation.
When People Talk down to me.
And when people dont listen to me.
Kathryn Baylis 3 years ago
When people shout down the other person in a disagreement—-and are also dead wrong most of the time. Shouting someone down doesn’t mean you won the argument. It just means you loudly proclaimed that you are an a*****e.
#14
Someone assuming my opinion or intentions before asking me directly.
Carrie Cain 3 years ago
And especially when they misunderstand what I mean or said but refuse to let me explain and instead throw a screaming fit.
#15
People who break the rules of the road at others expense (cutting people off, not using turn signal, using the shoulder to skip traffic, ect.) Even when it doesn't inconvenience me directly
#16
People who cut ahead of you on the road only to go slow.
If you're in such a hurry to risk my life and yours then push your foot down on the pedal a bit more.
#17
When someone defends Nazi's or people with similar mentality because "you need to respect everyone's opinion".
No, I don't. Not if their opinion involves murdering or oppressing people.
Fascists can f**k right off and so can the people who defend them.

Everyone bangs on about freedom of speech. Here's the thing the responder to that speech has the same right. What you say and do has natural consequences, you talk hate then complain when people talk back and hand you your a*s as though you are the unfairly judged and injured party? Come on, wake up to yourself, you are not the only one entitled to have a say or thought on the subject. Cop it sweet just like you dished it up.

People that can't pay attention to movies and spend most of the time on their phones, especially if its a movie that I specifically wanted to show them. Then they ask questions that were already answered and don't get what it was about. Drives me absolutely insane

Same if we are home watching something on tv. If you're not going to pay attention, I am not going to catch you up.

some folks seem to have an utter lack of situational awareness, and as a result are constantly getting in the way of themselves and others
TheEndIsNigh🇨🇦and🇬🇧in🇺🇲 3 years ago
I've told this one a few times on BP, but this guy was such an a*s, that he fits in a lot if scenarios. Mid-pandemic, this man had a wall-eyed fit at the entrance to Costco, because they wouldn't let him in without a mask. No regard for anyone else, holding up the line even more (at that time they were still only letting in a few people at a time), and generally acting like a fool. But wait, there's more! After a solid 3 1/2 minutes of a grown-a*s adult having a temper tantrum, he then throws himself on the floor, refusing to move. Luckily, while he was having a fit, Costco was calling the cops. Dude could've just put on his mask, grabbed his allotment of TP, and shuffled off into the sunset. Nope, he went to jail.🙄
#22
When I see someone consciously, maliciously abusing any being unable to defend itself.
Accidental abuse is more understandable *if* the severity of the abuse isn't high, and *if* it stops when the abuser is made aware of it.
Dorey Bell 3 years ago
Accidental abuse does not exist. Being kind,courteous, and thoughtful toward others are basic human traits- that everyone should practice
#24
When someone is the only person to hear my idea and then immediately repeats it and passes it off as their own. Makes me feel like Maury in Big Mouth: Rage, rage, f*****g RAGE!

Being falsely accused.

Technology not working as expected. And slow internet.

To be fair the fact that any of that technology exists is a frickin miracle. I bet most of you are like me and couldn't explain how it works or why it's not working like it should.

People who are incompetent but don't know that they are incompetent, and they try to fix things that do not need fixing.
Incompetent and lazy, ok.
Competent and lazy, ok.
Competent and hardworking, ok.
Incompetent and hardworking, please get out!!
#35
People ignoring things I say and then getting mad at me later
This happened a lot with a former friend. He's no longer my friend.
Happened at a former workplace too, and was a large factor in why I decided to quit
#36
The grocery store. I’m a calm person and rarely get angry, but every time I go grocery shopping, someone does something totally stupid to make me mad. Like, blocking a whole aisle for no reason, walking in a group that pushes you to the side, how stores randomly change items’ locations so it forces people to look around and buy other things they normally wouldn’t, almost getting run over in the parking lot OR when you’re in the car and people take their sweet time walking by you for no reason… Ugh, I hate grocery stores. Worst places ever, and I have no idea why they’re the only place to irritate me this strongly

YES! The dog downstairs used to bark whenever someone approached the house because their windows go out onto the walk - but that stopped when it got used to living with 11 neighbouring flats. But there's a dog across from our house who's always barking for hours at a time, loud enough to disturb my children's bed time, and it's been months...

People complaining about "needing to be PC" because they're no longer allowed to be casually sexist, racist, etc. People who have never served a day in their lives in the military, speaking as if they have any idea what military culture is like (and it's almost always because they oppose women in the military).

I (f.53) live with 2 brothers and my son in a house. We split the costs more or less equally. One of my brothers (F) never learned how to manage money. He keeps “forgetting” to pay his share of the bills, which ultimately affects all of us. In addition, he reacts annoyed and feels hurt when you point it out to him. He doesn't open the reminders or ignores them until the bailiff comes. He's my brother and I love him... but a part of me wants to kick him out.
