What triggers intense anger in you?

People who walk directly on my heels. I cross the street to avoid this problem and that person chooses to cross at the same time.

I loathe vowels and the singer Taylor Dane.

People who watch videos on their devices in public with the volume on. How fucking hard is it to put in a pair of earbuds?

Interrupting me. I work with a lot of Indian colleagues, and it is a cultural thing.

It doesn't bother them to interrupt each other, so whatever, but when they do it to me, I try to be cool, but several times, I have said "CAN I FINISH?!"

^^^ I JUST TRIGGERED MYSELF!!!

I was going to say Taylor Dayne, too, R2.

However, I have some hot vowels that I'm fond of.

Aggressive drivers. Careless cyclists. Beets.

Pretty much every other thread.

People who stupidly use the word "literally" when it's not necessary.

Dumb trash who use speakerphone in public

Fuckwipes who don't use turn signals deserve to die.

Cruelty to animals.

r2. Learn to spell

Actually r9, they’ll often use it when the opposite is true.

Like for instance, “I’m literally melting down right now.”

“I’m literally in heaven.”

[quote]Dumb trash who use speakerphone in public

I long for a gun when I see someone holding out a phone horizontally, yelling into it with the volume on the other end turned up to 11.

Go worship the murdering Menendez dimwits some more, r13.

THE STINK OF MY DEAD PARENTS' GUTS AND BRAINS!!!!!

Having someone at work vent to me about something that has nothing to do with me.

r16 You're easily triggered, snowflake. I hope things improve!

Jared Leto

Yahoos.

r14 Yes! "I'm literally like triggered like literally right now. I've never been more like triggered than literally right this minute."

Allowance late.

Ironyproof, Miss Murderer fan at r19, considering how you’re chasing me around the forum because I DARED insult your objects of obsession!

Things are fine, couldn’t be better. The two Menendez brothers will rot in prison forever, until they’re brought out as corpses.

R22, I never heard a racist with a cleft palate go at it before.

We don't use that kind of language here at our DataLounge, buster.

r5 You ok, sweetie?

NO IM TRIGGERED!!!

Speakerphones in public -> attention whores, pls buy earbuds or headphones because everyone hates your fuckin guts

Lip smackers -> you sound like a stroke victim or a drug addict

People who spill their sob stories all over strangers -> you are in desperate need of institutionalization, get help

Those who try to relate everything in my life to their religion or try and convert me if they find out I'm going through rough times -> that's a big "Go fuck yourself" from me, my man

r24/r25 I hope your day improves. You did make me laugh, though!

You're very hurt and embarrassed. It's just an anonymous forum, sweetie - no need to seethe with humiliation!

My detached lack of interest in everything.

Butterfaces.

Great big fat queens who burst into the bar desperate for attention

R29, are you feeling okay, sweetie?

Too FAST!

r33 You're painfully aware of the feeling of being outwitted. I won't humiliate you any further. You suffer enough day to day, we can all tell.

Outwitted?

By a thread stalker?

Been there, sweetie. Your type smells.

Women with two Oscars!

People whose behavior comes across as arrogant/cocky.

Noisy eaters. They enrage me. Sometimes I’ll just leave a room if someone is eating too loud. It makes me want to physically hurt someone.

Hasn’t happened yet!

The sound of people eating crunchy food and the song "Happy" by Pharrell Williams.

Long-windedness when talking and when writing.

Women in gay men sexual spaces

Women who cosplay as gay men

Women who are emotional

Women

r42 100%

Teacake

Being loved for my great face and body, my fine disposition, and my eight-inch cock alone.

I can only tolerate the sound of pets munching food.

Rudeness, disrespect.

It doesn’t take much!

I love how this creature projects! Go ahead girl! I am not r25 by the way — your vengeful ignoredar seems to be on the fritz. 🔧

R47, square that with being here. You must be in a permanent state.

Bullies, anyone who abuses animals and Trump loving MAGATS.

In slow moving freeway traffic, the people who use the paved shoulder as a lane to bypass everyone else. Very selfish and illegal.

r49 Aww, you tried!

When people quoted verbatim in news station app stories say things in ways that make them sound illiterate.

People in slow traffic who hang back where anywhere between 1 and 3 cars could fit in front of them. And what do you know? Everyone keeps filling that space from other lanes and that lane gets longer and slower!! PULL UP IDIOTS!!!

r55 So true

r54 Can you try that again in English?

“I’m sorry you feel that way….”

I have this...thing...where I legit can't tolerate hearing footsteps above me, like in the floor above me, and if you're a neanderthal and stomp around all the time, chances are I've prayed for your death. It's especially bad in NYC where the apartments are made of plywood and you get no noise isolation. It's way beyond being a nuisance, I have legitimate rage attacks, something about that sound just triggers me, I think it might be neurological or something.

Republicans and libertarians. I cannot stand to be around them anymore. So dishonest, so smug, so arrogant, so conceited, so evil.

People who take most everything personally.

[quote]I long for a gun when I see someone holding out a phone horizontally, yelling into it with the volume on the other end turned up to 11.

I hate that so fucking much. Put the fucking phone up to your fucking head you fucking dumb cunt.

That this drunk cunt gets away with saying shit like this:

"Jeanine pirro says women arent "educated" enough to understand that overturning roe v wade doesnt really matter"

various types of slow walkers - excluding the elderly or feeble - particularly fat couples who walk side by side so you can't get past them. i've encountered so many fucking idiots with their face in the phone blocking doors all over the place just in the last few weeks.

Orange Shitler, his cult, and the L.A. Lakers' front office.

Inconsiderate people’s behaviour - which pretty much sums up most of the issues raised upthread.

Judge Pinot Grigio is another first generation and her exhusband is a convict.

MAGA and the bloviating orange menace.

People who take way too long to step on the gas at a traffic light. When the light turns green, GO!

Grackles

R69 has never driven a stick shift.

I've driven a stick shift and when the light turns green, I release the clutch and step on the gas. What's the problem?

R71, of course. But no one else does, especially in LA where every light is full of Musk mobiles.

Sure R72 - you obviously haven't.

Driving an automatic and stepping on the gas can happen immediately when the light changes.

Driving a stick shift means that the clutch is released simultaneously with the accelerator being depressed when the light changes, assuming that the driver has the shift engaged in first gear at the time (aka "riding the clutch"), otherwise the driver first shifts to first gear, then the clutch is released simultaneously with the accelerator being depressed. This can take a couple of seconds.

To do any of these out of order and too fast results in the vehicle stalling - that's the problem.

I've been driving stick shifts all my life, R72 - you should stick to your Tesla.

Oh, STFU. You sound ridiculous. I'm old and grew up with stick shift cars.

Trannies

TRUMP!

Litter. It makes my blood boil.

People with an overly simplistic view of politics. Democrats = altruistic saviors. Republicans = unadulterated evil. It is not and has never been that black and white.

Nothing. I don't experience 'intense anger' or even outrage.

In response to R71's reply to R69, it's not a matter of stick shifts. There's a delay when the light turns green because they've all got to stop fucking around with their smartphones, and that takes a moment or two.

Pool Closed Signs. Makes me want to jump right out of my skin!!

Magats=shitbags and Nazis.

Period.

1. Bad customer service. Rarely when dealing with one individual, but when there are automated elements and it takes multiple attempts to address what’s probably a common problem (like getting my router reset). I become enraged just in anticipation. Completely out of proportion.

2 (And 1 is a subset of 2). When something is just wrong or done in a completely ass-backwards way for no logical reason and it affects me. But only when it’s for no reason. If it’s expensive to upgrade computer systems or a business is chronically a little understaffed because they can’t afford to be overstaffed when it’s slow, I get it. Doesn’t bother me at all.

But when I go into a doctor’s office and have to fill out a blurry PHOTOCOPIED form that was originally created in 1987 on a typewriter and has white space that’s about 1” x 1/16” where I’m supposed to write my address (which they should already have), it annoys me. That one doesn’t really enrage me because the impact on me is so infrequent and trivial but it’s a easy example of laziness and complacency from the business owner down to the person at the front desk.

When people tell me I am not capable of doing something they have no idea about. Or assume. Probably based on gender, age or preconceptions. How do they know? I’ll do my damnest to prove you wrong, asshole. Also coworkers or leaders who mistake competence for “needing more work” - no! To make something look effortless takes effort; the trick is to make it look easy because you’ve got it dialed in.

R84, that’s an interesting one. Why do you think that happens (not getting angry, that makes sense, but people telling you that you can’t do things)? I was told recently NOT to do something that would have improved processes at work and helped my colleagues, but I wasn’t told I was incapable. And I’ve been warned about doing things that might be risky or dangerous, but not in any way they implied I wasn’t competent. Can you give examples where people told you that you weren’t capable of do something?

a lot of you are nasty bitches

that said, I'm very sensitive (can we stop using the word "triggered") to people giving me unsolicited help. I find it condescending

Stupidity, and rudeness. And more so if bundled into one.

islam

I feel you, R59. There is a couple upstairs with an 8 year old daughter. I never hear the husband and only hear the daughter when she bounces a ball, which she does a lot for some reason. I know when the wife is home. She walks with the grace of a gorilla, stomps, really, and she never sits down. She is very thin, average height, but the problem is she's German, they tend to be heavy footed, graceless and seem to have an odd relationship with their bodies. To assuage my rage, I pretend she is goose stepping in the apartment giving nazis salutes. It makes me laugh.

Otherwise, they are very nice people and go to bed like at 8 PM, thank God!

Not many things trigger that real visceral rip of anger in me, but the few times I’ve publicly wrongly blamed, or gratuitously humiliated, or outright bullied (rhetorically) — like in a group setting at work — that’ll do it. And I do not forgive.

People who go through the 10 items or less line with a cart full of groceries

Lesbians.

I second that, R64, and will add that this group of assholes is larger than just walkers and includes drivers who have no idea of their surroundings and won't move out of the way or into another lane when blocking 8 cars behind them. The selfishness of not paying attention to those around you should be punishable by jail time. (Kidding/Not kidding)

R84 I’m a woman- examples- you can’t understand IT / troubleshoot computer equipment errors or explain them well or as good as men because you’re a girl / not true. You can’t be athletic, like a sport, understand sports, be interested in cars or how they work, or fix things mechanical because you’re a girl. You can’t be good at shooting or fishing because you’re a girl. You can’t like driving or be a good driver because you’re a girl. You can’t like being out late because you’re past 40. You and your spouse can’t have paid your house off because you’re under 50.. It gets old. People say these things way more to women but I know some men get this too.

People who dismiss the viewpoints of others out of hand. -- I am not talking about Trump supporters. Those midges who support that racist, sexist, irresponsible, imbecile and fascist are beneath my contempt.

Willful Ignorance -- "I don't pay attention to politics anymore" types...It is your fault that the USA may elect a fascist.

Cell phone conversations in public places like the gym. I have no desire to listen to your personal details as I -- a stranger -- run beside you on a treadmill.

Aggressive drivers

Cyclists riding on the footpath/sidewalk who expect pedestrians to get out of their way. The clue as to who gets priority is in the name… FOOTpath, sideWALK.

Barking dogs and crying babies.

Casual unfairness--seeing people jump on someone else unjustly or out of all proportion in an everyday setting.

When I do my part and the other person in a position of authority over my life, stability, and existence does not.

JD Vance. I hate him even more than I hate Trump, which I didn’t think possible. I’ve never had violent impulses, but I want nothing more than to punch him in his smug, ass kissing face.

R101 Get a life Miss MSNBC.

[Bold]PEOPLE WHO HURT ANIMALS.[/Bold]

Woke assholes who kick gays to the curb in favor of trannies.

People who frustrate me, who do not hear what I say and can never help me in the long run.

It is a Karen Reaction, but...justified.

I am particularly enraged by call centers in the Philippines...

Some of our Supreme Court justices...

VOCAL FRY. It's spreading like a Kardashian STD. Every commercial. Reporters and anchors. It's mainly women but I'm beginning to hear it seeping into male voices. It's horrible.

R104 - Woke gay assholes who kick all of us to the curb in favor of homophobic terrorists.

R108, 𝟒𝟎𝟒 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝.

Earlier today I learned my sister’s fiancé threatened her, including pulling out a gun. She’s been set to visit this weekend, so I haven’t heard all the details yet…. I didn’t want her to have to relive it over the telephone tonight.

But after I stewed on it a bit, I have grown increasingly, intensely pissed off to the point of contemplating his kurder.

Men who refuse to swallow.

Every single person on television who spend their time equivocating about Donald Trump, conveniently ignoring what a fucking despicable human being he is. And every god damned person who votes for him.
