Objects you irrationally hate

[Domoda]

What is your irrationally hated object?
Me - laptop chargers. Just so badly weighted with the heavy box bit in the middle so that they fall and slither off the table annoyingly. And just so flappy and floppy to deal with when trying to stash in my work bag. Hate the bastarding things.

Small font size printing on items especially makeup or medical that even with magnifying lenses is totally unreadable.

I worked in print for years and the smallest font we could use was 6pt. I swear it's often 4pt these days and condensed bold type as well. So bloody rage inducing.

Then there's the light grey writing on white background cooking instructions on meat products. I have to get a magnifying glass out to try and read the blasted thing.

Looking at you Aldi for that one. 😡

If you're very lucky, they've misaligned the print heads too (or whatever it is that makes the colours not line up properly) so everything looks like a red/green 3D movie without the special glasses.

Though TBF that doesn't seem to happen much any more. I suppose the type of technology used for printing packaging must've changed.

I bought this today. I rest my case ... 😡

Same! He'd always get stuck going around corners too.
I hated the little smug git 😂

Fucking hell. I think I'd have to take a photo with my phone, and slide all the slidey sliders around on the image manipulation settings to see if I could get a sane level of contrast.

I just tried with a magnifying glass and it's totally unreadable.

Don't they make a dummy of the packaging box up and then check that it can be read by the people buying it? I used to do packaging years ago and no way would white type on very pale background be passed for production.

The more I look at the bloody box, the more I'm seething. 😡

Just dropping this in here:

Hand cream. No matter what minute/tiny tiny size dollop I squeeze or pump from the container, it's always too bloody much and I have to end up washing my hands to get rid of the stuff. Defeating the object. Bloody stuff.

Those lethal mandolin food cutter things. No matter what safety devices are on the damn things, I always manage to slice some finger into the carrot or cheese.

The Finger's Where The Flavour Is™

Any brand of face moisturiser. It doesn't matter what I use, several hours later I will rub my eye and end up in pain, stinging watery eyes that last for about an hour and need bathing with water to soothe. I do take care not to put it near my eyes, but seemingly fail every time. It's frustrates I think I really should be wearing some. Suncream is even worse!

Any kind of lotion or body cream that comes in a pump bottle. Works great for two thirds of the bottle but when there is a third left, refuses to suck anything further up.

As a shop worker - the self service tills. It's the scales, they keep coming uncalibrated and need resetting so all I ever hear on shift (and at home and in my sleep) is 'BONG - an assistant is coming!' as I mutter 'no I'm bloody not' and mash the reset button.

At home - the bloody bastarding induction hob. Which turns itself off if anything boils over, gets spilled on it or if I just wipe it down when cooking, and needs four (FOUR!!!) separate buttons to be pressed just to turn a ring on or off. I hate it so intensely - it was here when I bought the house and I can't justify the cost to replace it when it works, so I keep trying to break it and it JUST WON'T BREAK!!

And breathe.
