Tiny disappointments in life

[TeaHagTeaBag]

Dh has just put on an episode of University Challenge. It disappoints me every time that the teams aren't actually sitting one on top of the other.

Haha like Blankety Blank!

That's hilarious OP! 🤣

But with harder questions

But at least Celebrity Squares was honest.

Wasn't it? 😲

Google images reassures me on your behalf @TwoLeftSocksWithHoles

But with harder questions

And no cheque book or pen

I was really disappointed as a child that the gladiators on gladiators, were not in fact gladiators 😔

And no one is ever thrown to the lions.

Same.

YES

Kendal mint cake. Disappoints on all fronts.

That supermarket Battenburg doesn't have almonds in the 'marzipan'.

It's not even cake ffs

Eating readybrek doesn't give you a glowing outline like in the old TV ads. I can still remember the disappointment 40 odd years later. 😞

Eating Crusts as a child never gave me curly hair… thanks Nana.

The people not queuing at the door because I'm so gorgeous. Another one for the Nanny's

Lidl Pringle style crisps have changed their recipe to include poison wheat. Why Lidl, why? They were perfect before. Schar curvies are so expensive and boring 😭

When the plastic film on top of a microwave meal or a packet of ham doesn't peel off cleanly, monumental tiny disappointment when I have to use a knife.

Red velvet cake is the most aesthetically pleasing biggesr disappointment there is.

Or sliced cooked meats like ham… and the slices are always stacked the wrong way so you have to uncover the whole (apparently resealable) lot of it at once to get one slice out!

Definitely with you on the University Challenge seating arrangements OP! I always wanted to be in the top team!

I can report that it gave me hair on my chest as promised.

M&Ms 'brownies'. I never buy chocolate, but saw these yesterday on my way home from a dental appointment (no work needed!), so thought I'd treat myself. Never again - they're like those Revels with toffee in the middle, only slightly less chewy. Very sad :(

Oh. I thought they were! 😭

I lived in London over ten years and was disappointed and mildly surprised near the end of that era when I saw my first Hammersmith and city tube train and it wasn't pink
