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?

No a tissue in the wash is the worst thing ever. Personally it is the one thing I'd bring the death penalty back for, unfortunately my kids would have been executed many many times if that had happened and GS is another one who wouldn't last long.

Nah, my combi boiler is perfectly capable of delivering a cold bath if you set the flow rate of the bathtap higher than it can deal with. The correct method of bath-running being: turning on the tap about a third of the way, checking the temperature, then going back every few minutes to check it's not thrown a wobbly and started spewing out cold. Eight minutes later, you have your bath. It was the only boiler that would fit the space available when we replaced the old one, and I hate it with every fibre of my being.

We keep spares

Sorry - is a smug person also rather annoying ?

I will share it if you need it

The odd sock pile consisting only of the decent socks not the shrunk ones that cut off the blood supply round your ankles ?

What is a thrip?

It's an insect.
I just googled it.
Yes thrips in your bra would be definitely more yucky that a tissue in the wash.
😂

When something, especially a milk carton splits in your shopping bag.

I always drop a jar of something when it's full.

Thrips are tiny little insects about the size of a comma, which in certain parts of the country and at certain times of year emerge in huge numbers to get caught in your body hair, climb down your bra, and find their way into all your picture-frames and computer screens, so they can die in the middle and pretend to be broken pixels.

Just remembered, some people call them thunderflies, if that's any good to you.

Handbag strap wrapping itself around the gear stick in the car drives me nuts! Couldn't lasso it there myself if I tried!

Wetting the cuff of your sleeve
Going downstairs in the middle of the night to catch cellar slugs in the act of sliming around your living room carpet, and putting your foot on something cold and wet on the stairs and just knowing it's cat sick
(Although bonus I did surprise two slugs and discovered in the morning that DH had caught one when it thought he was safely watching Netflicks in VR)
Dropping a pot of yogurt
Then getting another out the fridge and dropping that too
Spending an eon sweeping up a nice dusty pan of greb off the floor, and then dropping the dustpan.
Hearing the cat's repeated gallops around the darkened silent house that means she needs to poo, and then the shouting that lets us all (well, me, everyone else sleeps though it somehow) know that "SHE'S DONE A POO, SHE NEEDED TO POO BUT IT'S OKAY MUM, I DID IT IN THE TRAY!" Well done lass. Now should I stay in warm bed or get up and bag a poo? Decisions decisions.

Nappy in the wash

Dog knocking bin over

Blocked toilet

Shower plug hair

Repeatedly putting on a vest top inside out - normally takes me about 5 tries to sort it out.

Harry and Meghan lecturing.

I once dropped and smashed a glass bottle of golden syrup in my kitchen. I
Trying to clean it up whilst stopping my dogs licking the floor incase they cut themselves was horrendous. Would have been easier to move.

The wings on sanitary towels. They either don't stick to your knickers properly. Or they stick that well, that when you come to pull it off the pad either rips in half or you end up with some random part of the wings welded to your pants. The lil let maternity ones with the extra wings at the back are the biggest pain ever. They never stick properly so I either end up with an irritated leg or waxing my arse.

Tops or dresses with the sewn in garment (can't think of it's name) when I'm in a rush to get dressed I either end up getting tangled up inside it or somehow manage to put it on with the inside double at either the front or the back. Then when I take it off again it goes inside and trying to turn it the right way and tuck the other bit back in is a PITA

Climbing into bed with the mug of the expensive latte pod that you've waited and looked forward all day for. Putting the mug on the bedside table whilst it cools down, only to knock it all over the floor whilst reaching over to grab something else. I actually cried when I did that. Although in all fairness to me I had just come off a 15 hour shift and unbeknownst to me at the time I was also Pregnant and very hormonal

Opening a tin of tuna.

No matter how carefully I do it, I always end up covered in oil or tuna water and then my hands seem to smell fishy for ages. I know I could get the “no drain” tuna but I refuse to pay extra, even though I get so cross every time I open a tin.

The I get tuna on me trying to prise the tuna out of the can.

so many heat especially the sleeve catching on door handle.

And why is this harder as we age? Surely I'm now perfectly skilled at seeing the item and performing the necessary manoeuvre, but no. I'll make 3 or 4 attempts and then realise for some reason I now have to really, really concentrate.

This!

Another door handle one.
Banging your elbow on the door handle, as it’s at the same level as your arm.
Ouch! The bruises..

I expect that is because of the high levels of micro plastic encased in them. Soz.

Daughter that moves the hair catcher out of the way when she showers and then leaves the plug hole full of hair! WWYDT?
