RESCUEPLUS lozenge has found that there are certain times when couples lose it- we take a look at some of them.
Have you lost your cool lately over one of the below?
Call centres- They always call just when you're having an important relationship related conversation with your partner.
When you're partner's rude- You can't tolerate it whether it's towards you or someone else and you tell them so.
When your loved one pushes into a queue- You're partly ashamed to call yourself their SO and party glad you don't have to wait as long.
Traffic jams- You inevitably get stuck in one when you arrange a night out with your loved one- which puts you both in a bad mood for date night and ruins everything.
PPI phone calls- They know to call just as you're getting down and dirty.
People not saying thank-you- You both start talking about your fictitious kids and how they WILL have manners.
Slow Wi-Fi- Just as you're planning a holiday or your next naughty purchase.
Badly behaved children- You discuss how your kids (who haven't been born yet) will be better behaved than them.
Being kept on hold on the phone- You expect that your partner will always have time for you when you call. When they don't you are clipped and snappy with them when they come back on- or you hang up.
Hectic workloads- You turn into ships that pass in the night.
Litter droppers- You both genuinely start to worry about the state of the world for your future offspring.
When they use their mobile while driving- You feel for your life whenever you get in the car with them.
When your partner doesn't say please- So you don't do or give them the thing they want until they do- like you would with a child.
When they dawdle- Just make a decision already!
When they don't listen to you- And they give you that vacant stare, convinced that it passes for a 'listening face'.
When they stand in doorways to have a conversation- Just come in you are both paying for the heating and they're just letting it escape out the door!
Uncovered coughs or sneeze- You know that whatever lurgy they have you are now going to get because you pass around illness like lollipops in your house.
Self-service check-outs- When you're both in a rush, you can guarantee that something will go wrong with your checkout.
When they're unfriendly in shops- Especially when they used to work the same job- they're such a hypocrite and you remind them why.
When your partner eats loudly/sloppily- You have come to accept it at home but in a fancy restaurant it just doesn't fly.
When they smoke- They don't normally smoke but in certain company they like to do it socially- you have no sympathy when they throw up or have a coughing fit afterwards.
Your partner slagging you off behind your back- And you find out through someone else. Someone's sleeping on the couch tonight.
When they're lazy- Instead of loading the dishwasher they leave the plates in the sink and instead of putting their clothes in the washing basket, they leave them on the floor- stuff like that.
Additional charges for paying by card- You can see your joint money frittering away in front of your very eyes.
Train/bus cancellations- The one day neither of you have your car…
When your loved one talks loudly in train quiet carriages- Do you want everyone to know your business?!
Your email getting hacked- You mentally read through every dirty email you have ever sent to your partner.
Drilling outside your house early on a Saturday or Sunday morning- Your lie ins are always ruined by one of your over eager neighbours.
When your partner swears- A couple of well-placed expletives are acceptable but when every other word would make your mother blush it's time to select something else from their mental dictionary.
Middle lane drivers- Your partner's one but they can't get out of the habit now. You spend the entire time telling them to move over, which they do for a little while and then move back.
Washing clothes and discovering a tissue in the pocket- Why do they never empty their pockets before putting things in the clothes basket??
Phone running out of battery- Always at a time when you need to call your beau for something important.
People who don't know the difference between there, their and they're- It really takes the shine of your SO's love note when they can't get the spelling right.
Katie Hopkins- Neither of you like her but you can't help watching her and reacting to her outlandish statements.
Car alarms/ house alarms going off- The first early night you get together in ages and you're kept awake by some inconsiderate burglar.
