I know you’ve been there. Someone rubbed you up the wrong way. Grated on you. Metaphorically, kicked you in the nuts. Said something hurtful. Crushed your foot with their elephant feet on the Tube.

The other day I was annoyed. Really fucking annoyed! 6pm on a Tuesday night waiting for the tube on the crowded platform. Sweaty, dirty, fed-up, frustrated, stressed, cramped in a confined space… I couldn’t even read properly coz someone’s armpit was in my face!
