Was listening to Johnny Vaughn on Radio X on a drive home yesterday and he was banging on about Petty Rage Syndrome, wqs quite funny. What are the small things in life that get you raging?
if it's just you you are a Raging Loner
If you find one other person that shares the same peev you have a Petty Rage Partner
If it's 3 or my it's an official Petty Rage Syndrome
has to be petty and makes you think 'is it just me?'
Here's one from me: People who casually take too long to put their seatbelt on, turn the engine on and pull away from petrol pumps when there is a massive queue lining up at the garage! Gets me raging!
Am I a raging loner or is this a syndrome?

People who eat apples loudly. Just close your mouth, it isn't that hard, but apples are crunchy anyway, so when people don't close their mouth properly it makes it even worse.
Yeah slow walkers too. People who walk while looking at their phones.
The commute to and from work is a mix of all of these things every day without fail.
I do this sometimes when im out walking the dog. Id just rather not have to make people stop for me to cross. I wait until theres a gap and cross without interrupting anyones journey.
...sorry 'bout that
Am I alone in wondering where all those other fingers may have been?
People who think that looking at their mobile while they walk doesnt slow them down and that they become a rolling roadblock.
People who get off an escalator and just stop - often to look at their phone.
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

People.
This is really petty but you've written "a drive home" when surely it should be "the drive home". Unless you make multiple drives home ? Poor grammar sends me into a Rage.
Random stoppers are even worse. Yesterday I arrived at work and had to pass through a large lobby with doors at either end. The room was wide, but the doors were only really wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. So where does the woman in front of me decide to stop? Yep. Is it really not OK to give them a gentle, encouraging shove to somewhere where they can be a pain in fewer people's arse?
The number of times I've had to fight the urge to slap someone's phone up in to their face when they walk directly towards me, completely oblivious to the fact that they're about to run straight in to me.
Supermarkets are the worst- you get all the aforementioned knobbers, but armed with shopping trolleys that they insist on stopping diagonally across the aisle, almost as if they were trying to cause the biggest possible obstruction.
It's nice to know I'm not the only one though...
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
