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

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?

thanks to my once 2 yo I had a disposible nappy in the washing machine. That was fun.

@dudsville

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

Let's make it happen!

Everything written here plus accidently dropping peas and them rolling under the too heavy to move fridge freezer!

It makes it feel better if you see it as an opportunity to drag out the "escapeas" joke.

Pant liners that refuse to stick to your knickers, but then super-weld themselves to your pubes.

Finding bird poo on the very last bit of the item being ironed (especially a shirt!).

One of those royal mail "you weren't in" cards shoved through your letterbox with letters by the postie when YOU WERE IN but she definitely never rang the doorbell! 🤬
Cat vom in your slippers first thing in the morning 🤮

Trying to reverse into my smaller than average driveway when my neighbour has parked opposite on the other side of the road which I also quite narrow. Nothing illegal about the parking but I often have to do what feels like a 10 point turn to get in at the right angle and I find it hugely annoying. What’s really frustrating is they seem to purposely park directly opposite us when there is often many other spaces they could chose along the street.

Kleenex Balsam tissues do not dissolve in the wash.

Game changer.

Thinking you’ve bottomed out the laundry then finding a stray dirty sock

Dropping the lid of the milk on the floor when I go to put it back on. Every. Dam. Time.

DH leaving a bag of rubbish just outside kitchen door, ready to go into the main bin on the driveway, but cunting dogs get to it first .....I thought they were quiet 😡

We love that joke in our house and use it at every opportunity. 😁

Banging the tender part of your elbow (is it called the funny bone?) on a door handle.

Just bloody WHYYYYYY for fucks sake 😡

God in his infinite wisdom decided to route an important nerve via the outside of the elbow. Thanks God.

Getting the zip stuck in the fabric of my raincoat every fucking time I wear it. I can’t get it on then I can’t get it off.

When you bend down to pick something up and miss. So you stand up, realise you haven't got it ... and miss it again the next time.

Printers.

Kleenex Mansize (or whatever they're called these days) also don't. of course I normally find all mine and it's the cheap ones DC bring home from school that somehow end in the wash.

Or when you bend down to pick something up, succeed, but also manage to drop something else in the process.

Cleaning the entire kitchen and loading the dishwasher...... then your teen decides to bring all manner of cups and plates down then cook! Resulting in a filthy kitchen covered in grated cheese

Sand after a beach trip. Everywhere. Fucking everywhere. In pockets. In shoes. In between your toes. Argh!
