What really disappoints you???

[alittlefickle]

Light hearted thread....

What really disappoints me is having a beautiful watermelon sitting waiting to be eaten only to finally cut it open and it's tastes of nothing! No juice/no flavour, and it was definitely ripe, been sat ripening for a week.

The last banana bread I made.
At least it taught my DC what the word stodgy means

Pregnancy. Love the fact I'm having a baby in the summer but my god I'm hating this pregnancy and it makes me sad as its 7 years in the making and an only.

Almost every novel I have read recently.

Running a hot bath only to find that the hot water isn't working.

Doughnuts not made with batter.

Running a hot bath only to find that the hot water isn't working
Oh this! We had a particularly heavy snow shower and I walked home from work through the snow, it took me 50 minutes and all that kept me going was a hot bath at the end.
Got home, went to run a bath and the boiler had packed up! I may have cried!

Thank you @PinkArt I will try it!

I do love the Schar fibre crisp bread (has to be the fibre one! Not the ordinary) but I haven’t tried their bread yet.

The sheer number of creepy, sexist men out there vs nice, genuine - in relation to dating. I'm not for one minute saying women's behaviour cannot also be disappointing.

The kids and I whipping ourselves into a frenzy when we spot an Eddie Stobart lorry in the distance on the motorway, spending ages getting up alongside it only to find it’s a plain white cab and not a branded Eddie one therefore no name on the side… 🙁

Especially my next door neighbours huge black and white cat. He looks like he wants head scritches so much and he would get ALL the scritches if he didn't belt it Everytime I so much as look in his direction. [/quote]
See also: dogs who run up to you with a big, friendly grin on their faces, then won't let you pet them or even worse run around you and back again.

Colleagues who can’t see how bloody lucky they are to work with my friend…compared to other bosses .. I really hope karma bites their bitchy arses when they get moved

Lloyds bank advert with all those black horses running… I wish one would stop running look at the camera and have a massive wee. The advert is so boring

Summer holidays it’s never bloody hot and sunny

When someone recommends something that turns out to be rubbish.....could be a restaurant, or a TV series or film. Then they eagerly ask you if you enjoyed it and you've got to decide whether to lie politely or to see the disappointment on their face when you tell them it was crap.

I agree about the biscuit dropping into the tea especially when it's your last one. Also going to get the last few squares of your chocolate treat in the fridge but someone has eaten it..ww3...

@ScreamingMeMe

Haha yes! Dogs that run up to you all friendly with slobbery big grins and who basically go " Psych!" and then run away.
I've got your number, buddy.

@LeavesOnTrees

tiddlywinks2 McDonald's ice cream machine being broken.

There's a documentary on this. Their machines are a con and there is a huge lawsuit in the USA.

😨 Well, I feel less guilty about having a breakdown in the middle of McDonald's now!

@KatnissNeverdone

Satsumas. They're either magnificent or wholly pathetic and you can never tell whivh you're going to get.

I get this. And I can never tell which variety have pips and which dont.

Happy to be enlightened

@MidgeYoure

Steak… always seems to disappoint, no matter how much you pay for it, wether at a restaurant or for home cooking. Agree with PPs about satsumas… used to be lovely when I was little, this Xmas, they were so grotty that I gave up with buying them. Likewise peaches, frequently got ‘belly ache’ from eating so many as a child, now don’t even bother with them and buy tinned if I fancy them.

I knew someone would say peaches ! My nan used to buy huge peaches and the juice would run down your chin ,i can't remember when i last had one like that , tinned peaches hit the spot for me.

Getting on really well with someone and then seeing them with their kids and realising that they are spineless parents and their kids are overindulged brats.

Going for dog walks with a good friend and them explaining that they don't need to clear up their dog's poo because "it's all the way in the wooded bit, off the path, it's fine." Saw them in a whole new light after that. Really disappointed.

The volume of my partners snoring.

Anyone who has enough self control not to eat all their chocolate in one go and keeps it in the fridge doesn't deserve chocolate!

But yes, very disappointing. I imagine.

Sometimes you just want a loaf of nice white bread, so you go to the 'finest' range and every bloody one has sourdough or seeds or bloody palm trees added to them.

I just want a loaf of white bread.

The smell of freshly cut grass tainted by the stench of petrol exhaust fumes.

The one cloud that turns pleasant spring sunshine into chilly misery. And weather forecasters getting it wrong in the summer.

Tiramisu. A mouthful of soggy over sweet sickliness.

Going on holiday. Delays, traffic, transport hassles, and everything being too expensive when you get there.

Getting a nicely crafted post written and then your phone running out of charge or the website crashing.

Bridgerton... I tried, I really tried. Just couldn't do it. Disappointed!

Agree. It’s just awful.

When I go to drink the lovely cup of tea I've left to cool for 10 mins, only to discover I've already drunk it.
