Queue jumpers top the list of all-time anger triggers

Queue jumpers, benefit scroungers, traffic jams and petrol prices have emerged among a list of the 50 things which make us angry, a new study has revealed. Researchers polled 2,000 Brits to reveal the most likely rage-inducing things, with people pushing in front of us in queues coming top.

Rudeness, people who don't listen, spitting in public and having to go through lots of automated options or being kept on hold were also among the top five.

Other 'rage triggers' to feature in the poll included having to pay a few to withdraw your own money from a cash point, middle lane drivers and The Jeremy Kyle Show.

A spokesman for The Wolverine, which commissioned the poll to mark the Blu-ray and digital release of the film, said:

''Everyone has moments where they get into a bit of a rage, but the majority of the time, it's over something fairly trivial, as this list shows.

''Everything from taxes to middle lane drivers and even reality TV stars leave us fuming.

''Being British, it's quite funny to see that queue jumpers are most likely to cause us to lose our rag.

''But while it might seem like an unimportant thing to get angry about, if you are busy or in a hurry, having someone force their way in front of you can easily leave you raging.

''If you are tired, stressed or simply at the end of your tether, it won't take much to make you boil over and those little things that often just annoy you can spark a rage instead.''

Benefit scroungers came sixth in the poll, followed by people believing rules don't apply to them and those who use their mobile phone while driving.

Not getting a 'please' or 'thank-you' and backstabbers completed the top ten.

Money is behind several of the things that make us angry with the high petrol prices, having to pay a fee to withdraw cash and even having to part with our hard-earned dosh to 'spend a penny' in some train stations all on the list.

Seeing a large chunk of our wages go to the Taxman and the bedroom tax are other financial-related things that get us raging.

The annoying phrase of 'unidentified item in bagging area' while using a self-service checkout cause many to see red, as well as old ladies who have all week to shop, but choose to go on a Saturday morning.

Travel issues also lead to angry Brits with traffic jams, middle lane drivers and people who speed through housing estates all in the top 50.

Drivers who fail to stop at a zebra crossing also leave us fuming.

And to fuel the driver/bike row, cyclists who jump red lights and even just having bike riders and motorcyclists on the road also made it onto the list.

But those who use public transport added their own thoughts to the list with train cancellations, people who put bags on the seats and missing a train.

The study also found that even celebrities and television shows leave Brits in a fit of rage with reality stars Helen Flanagan, Kim Kardashian and Joey Essex all among the top 50.

And Joey's show The Only Way is Essex along with The Jeremy Kyle Show all make the nation angry.

Other rage triggers include laziness, lateness, people who swear or smoke and even those who can't spell or use the right grammar.

Being outbid on eBay, dropping a biscuit into tea or coffee and washing an item of clothing without realising there is a tissue in the pocket are also on the list.

It also emerged that 55% of Brits admit they are an angry person, with 48% admit others would probably say they have a bit of a temper.

The average adult gets an attack of rage four times a week, with our partners, strangers in the street and call centre workers most likely to be on the receiving end of it.
