Whose clever idea was it to put stickers on greetings cards?! Not the easy pull off ones but the ones that leave some of the sticker behind. I know very first world problems.

Anybody want to put anything into the black hole of hell?

but my own feeling is that Starmers’ Labour Party tare wolves in sheep’s clothing.
I'm amazed that anyone who lived through the 60s, not knowing your actual age so sorry if I've offended you, is surprised at the description of the Labour government, they were always wolves in sheep's clothing.

My kitchen handles do that on my dressing gown. It’s my own fault as I chose that design 😳

I have torn so many cuffs by attaching myself to door handles.

Shops that advertise reduced prices as 'up to 50%', this means that the reduced prices are from 0 to 50% when in reality their misleading statement really means prices are from 50% to 100%. Their notices should says 'up to 50% off'.

It’s probably been said by now but people who park in the parent and child spaces and don’t have kids with them 😡😡😡

And parents who park in their precious spaces then leave their off-spring in the car with another adult while they go into the shop.

Netanyahu and Biden, cöosely followed by Rachel Reed

Why Rachel Reeves? What has she done that deserves hell? Completely get Netanyahu, don’t know enough about Biden to comment.

Would offer up Trump, Cameron, Farage, Rees-Mogg, Johnson and Truss.

Resealable pasta packets.

Well you can't can you when the fucker splits right down the front and your dinner is scooped off the side board.

You still stick it on though. You've lost half the bag, cooked enough pasta for the street, so it's empty enough to screw up and reseal. Ta da. Bastards.

Womens socks that go from a 3 to 8.
Do they? Really? No!

Particularly annoying when you are a size 8, all one size ladies socks are too small. Yet mens socks size 8 are ginormous!

Can I add 'non-stick' oven trays that no matter what you do with them, how you clean them, how delicately you treat them, only stay 'non-stick' for about 5-6 uses then end up looking like they've been tossed in an incinerator and burn any food you try to cook on them, setting off the bloody smoke alarm 😬

I thought this just happened to me!! Happens to even the expensive Lakeland ones!!

Thistlewoman · 15/09/2024 01:27

Anyone who litters. They are quite simply vile adults or children.

Verityveritas675 · 15/09/2024 01:34

The sizing of Ikea's pillows and pillow cases!

Edited to say: And IKEA duvet cover sets with one single pillow case? What's that all about?

(Can you tell I have uni age DC? 😬)

Thistlewoman · 15/09/2024 01:45

Whoever it was at M&S who decided that there was no need to cater for anyone with feet size EU 38.5 or EU39. Their size 5 shoes are for EU 38 and their size 6 is for size EU39.5. They don't do a size inbetween in most of their ladies footwear. Just WHY???

People with dogs who let their dogs jump on you or come up to your baby's pram. They often make some 'oh the cheeky rascal' comment and then expect you to pet the dog or something. Not everyone is comfortable with dogs.

I use all sorts of bags including the thicker insulated bags. As long as you press the ‘I’ve brought my own bags’ button so it can weigh your bags first

It still thinks there’s something nicked in mine.

Bin bags that rip then having to double bag!

OrkneyGirl · 15/09/2024 07:24

Swimmers in the slow lane who swim and chat in pairs so you can't overtake and have to go even slower than slow...

OrkneyGirl · 15/09/2024 07:27

People who don't wash their hands in unisex toilets - mainly men - so you have to find ways of opening the exit door without touching the handle or door Yuk!

Rosejasmine · 15/09/2024 07:43

People who eat crisps on trains. I have misophonia and only other sufferers will understand.

I tried to get the sticker off one yesterday, and it ripped the card!

That’s one of mine too. We have quite a big kitchen bin and use the black bin liners. Without fail every time l take it out it either rips or leaks, then you have to struggle to ease the mess into another bag.

When gmail wants you to verify a gmail login for the first time on a different device via YouTube with a number, which is never there. Just because I signed up for YouTube once with that email doesn’t mean I am always logged in to it, or use it much and there’s hardly ever a number, and then I opt for verify another way that takes you back to verify with YouTube. Pleeese, you have a backup email, when you signup, why isn’t that an option anymore….

Try vitreous enamel coated ones. They’re defined as ‘easy release’ rather than non - stick but I’ve never had a problem. If you go for good quality they’re a bit more expensive but worth the investment. I’ve had my set for about three years - used regularly and hand washed rather than dishwasher, and they still look good and do the job.

I bought the thin cheaper bin bags a few times and breaking happened, they are not fit for purpose. The thicker ones, no issues and you can see the difference.

I know those food cans with the pull open tops are a good thing. I do know it. I just wish they were a teeny bit easier for those of us with no fingernails. I stand there clawing feebly at the dog food while the dog hops around on my feet looking hopeful and then, when I've sustained injuries under every non-existent nail, I have to go and get a spoon and try again with the handle.

Save your nails/sanity & spoons.

buy one of these (I expect you can get cheaper ones now)

Coffee Filter removal tool.

sorry my link had all my personal details on, but if you put that description into Amazon you'll see what I mean

i bought mine for what it was designed for, but discovered its perfect for tin tabs!!

Yep had one jump up and it’s claws scratched me and made a mark on my summer dress. It’s like someone wiping their feet on you when they’ve walked through poo and mud. If you pull a face or swerve, they think you are a horrible person for not liking/petting. You see it on MN ppl who don’t like dogs are missing out/ uncaring, nope I am clean, so is my house, it’s just an animal that I have to pay for and look after constantly to me, I don’t find picking crap up daily aspirational
