I think my thread title says it all: I'm doubly annoyed because we tend to use cotton hankies, rather than tissues, so there's a sinister rogue element to this.

What is your T'sTAEMATATITW?

Sanitary towel/ panty liner/ nappy in the wash.

Pouring stock down the sink instead of into the lined up sieve and pan when straining it. several times

That all socks are fickle. One sock in every pair always fucks off to some mysterious land never to be seen again. It's annoying that they do this, and also annoying that humans have no idea where this mystery land is so can't go and bring them back.

Fucking socks, fuck you dicks.

A nappy .... omg! The aftermath was HORRIFIC!

SaffyWall · 07/09/2022 13:33

A jacket potato exploding in the oven is far, far worse then the tissue in the washing machine - it creates a similar amount of mess whilst also denying you your dinner!

The dying chirp of a fire alarm that needs a new battery has been echoing in our street for ages now. No one that I have talked to can exactly decide where it is coming from!

Accidentally putting a laundry pod in the tumble dryer. It just cooked the colour into the white washing and made everything a bit sticky

the80sweregreat · 07/09/2022 13:39

It's the pits !
I feel your pain

One of those outdoor beanbags splitting and covering your lawn in millions of tiny polystyrene beads. Yes, we did have to hoover the lawn.

Go to do the dishes but the inside of the marigolds are wet 🤢🤢

RaRaRaspoutine · 07/09/2022 13:40

people hanging around in the kitchen whilst I’m cooking. Screeeeeeeeam

Broken egg shells back in fridge in the egg box ( three teens)
Empty wrappers back in the fridge ( whyyy)
Putting in a password.. not being accepted ., resetting the password using the same combination to be told can't use a password I have used before .. silent scream

FunnysInLaJardin · 07/09/2022 13:42

catching your sleeve or apron pocket on a door handle. Particularly annoying when cooking 😡

user1498572889 · 07/09/2022 13:43

Every single thing mentioned in this post.

Pepper grinder/shaker breaking when you're cooking ruining whatever you were cooking.
Usually happens towards the end when your balancing the flavours so a whole meal goes to waste

That happened with my Christmas dinner once. Whole plate full ruined.

A DC wanting a glass of water when you are half way through washing up in hot water.
Every time middle DC!

Getting comfy in bed, teeth brushed, face creamed and then you need to go to the toilet or you forget to turn off light.

Trying to do up a stubborn zip, even more frustrating if the stubborn zip is on an even more stubborn toddler who won't stop wriggling, you're already late and it's pissing with rain.

Omg you win!!!
Its a square battery aswell that I never have spare. Also when I reconnect it it squeaks hard in my ear.

Ringmaster27 · 07/09/2022 13:50

I see your tissue in the wash, and raise your disposable nappy in the wash 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤯
definitely done it more than once in my time.

Teabag plopping off the spoon back into the cup with a splash and causing a mini tsunami of tea over the worktop.

purplebells · 07/09/2022 13:51

When you accidentally rip a tea bag trying to detach it from its neighbour and don't realise until after you've poured your hot water in and don't want to waste it so you have little bits of tea leaf floating in your tea

golddustwomen · 07/09/2022 13:52

Oh's wet towel left on the bed

HelloTreacle9 · 07/09/2022 13:53

Yes to dressing gown sleeves getting caught, BLOODY MISSING SOCKS, and stupid vacuum plug coming out of the wall.

Also (and its barely worth saying because I'm sure we all feel this one): family members putting used crockery on the side directly above a dishwasher that is ready to receive dirty stuff. I just...

Trying to clear up after a poonami and the wet wipes come out in one massive clump and won't separate. Usually whilst baby is thrashing around spreading it everywhere.

JesusSufferingFuck22 · 07/09/2022 13:55

When you are all sparkly clean out of the shower and you suddenly desperately need to poo, with no time to dry yourself first.

Calling an engineer to fix household appliance and when they arrive it suddenly starts working.
