Things that are even more annoying than a tissue in the wash...

[AffIt]

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?

Butter that's too stiff to spread on your bread.

Used dental floss left on the bathroom windowsill (looking at you DH).

Sudden onset of toothache at 6pm on Christmas Eve.

Electrical appliances with a too-short flex. Irons are particularly bad for this.

Resealable food packaging that isn't.

And another one, OH leaving dirty pans or trays in a sink of water. I am not putting my hand in there so it sits until he decides to clean them properly. Yes I could do it, no I don't because our deal is I cook and he cleans.

and the fucking rechargeable landline phone that OH insists needs to be left off the base because of battery even though no one ever ever uses it and then it starts fucking beeping. Beep. beep. beep. beep. and no one can find the fucker.

When something relatively unimportant is about to fall off the table/out of the cupboard/from wherever, and in your urgency to catch it, you knock off half a dozen other, more fragile, more expensive, and far more mess-producing items.

Misjudging a gap in a doorway and then walking into a door handle, leaving a massive bruise on your belly. I do this monthly often.

The cat doing a huge smelly poo five minutes after I've just scooped the tray.
Wouldn't mind if she buried it. But she doesn't.

Oh my ! I agree with almost every post on this thread.
I thought it was just me.
Tissue in washing machine
Clothes catching on kitchen door knob
Vacuum plug coming out.
Tea bag splitting
DH leaving cups in the sink or on the floor beside the sofa the dishwasher is 24cm closer to the sofa than the sink.
I'll add - the iron spitting out "dirty" steam randomly which will always land on my favourite item of clothing.

Oh I have a cat like that too. Christening the pristine cat litter.

That's our tortie girl's absolute favourite thing - she will watch you clean the boxes with a gleeful look on her face, then enjoy a relaxing poo in the fresh facilities, followed by five minutes of the poomies round the house, accompanied by the 'I've Done a Poo' song.

Tortietude is real.

Do you actually get rid of a whole meal?! Seems abit of an overreaction.

My contribution: toothpaste dribbles on clean school jumpers (not as annoying as tissue in the wash, admittedly!)

Upending an entire tray of pasta bake that was ready to serve onto the oven door... We scraped it off and ate it anyway! Too hungry and too upset to do anything else!

When you break eggs directly into your cake mixture and the last egg that you add turns out to be rotten 😫

Empty packet of something you really fancy in the cupboard. I have two teenagers to thank for this!

Depends what it is really and how find the pepper is.

If I can scoop it out then no, but if I empty an entire pot of finely ground pepper into a pan then I won't eat it.

We once spent over a week trying to locate the source of a mystery bleep that appeared to be coming from upstairs in our house. We had small DC at the time so checked every single toy, as well as all electrical items in the house- even completely emptied the loft and checked all the contents. It turned out that it was next door's dying alarm trying to alert them that its batteries needed changing- only they were away for 2 weeks. They were very apologetic but to be honest I was just relieved that I was not going to have to move to escape it.

Husband going in various drawers for something and always leaving them approx one inch off closed. Husband not putting chicken carcass in a sealed bag in bin and now we have a whole tribe of fully fledged maggots partying in the bin.

"Unexpected item in the bagging area" GAAAAAAAAAAAHH

I can't decide between making a cup of tea only to discover that the milk was on the turn and you have all those tiny white floaters in it

Or

Yesterdays bugbear- trying to merge two word documents with a mix of portrait and landscape pages, one of which has everything in a 'hidden' table so nothing works. I nearly punched my screen about 15 times.

Nappy in the wash has to be one of the worst thankfully no poo in it but still was the worst trying to then re wash the clothes then the washing machine to get rid of the mess 🤦🏻‍♀️

Nappies in the wash, I did it more than once as well

Also poached eggs exploding in the microwave.

I think that TTAEMATATITW. should absolutely be a new MN acronym!

I think very few things in life are as disappointing as the tissue in the wash, but in general I find it really impossible at times when inaanimate things don't just know what I mean for them to do. Push the cutlery drawer closed but it stops an inch shy of actually closing. Take the fecking little plastic tab ever so gently off the bottle of oil but end up squirting oil out as it's just too hard to do. Reach across the hob and my sleeve catches on the pan, and if not the pan then the grate, lifting it up and threatening to set loose the contents of the pan. Walking as I tend to do all the time but suddenly a random toe will fold under. WHY???

I think the reason that it's this one for me is that I always find it more frustrating when it's at least partly my own fault.

When it's someone else's fault and I couldn't have done anything differently, I can at least mentally vent the irritation in that direction.

Yep, came on here to say Unexpected Item in the Bagging Area.

Also, cleaning the fridge and the alarm going been beep beep beep beep beep beep throughout 😤

The guitar picks in the wash were annoying, especially the one that got caught in the filter that I then had to empty soaking my kitchen floor in the process.

Taking a clean mug out of the dishwasher and not noticing it has water pooled on top and it goes all over your socked foot
