A special place in hell goes to

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?

The non removable lids are because people don't put them back on before rechecking.

My mother.
My father.
My ex husband.

People who don't watch their dogs so don't know they have pooed so can't pick up.

Limth · 13/09/2024 14:25

People who buy puppies when their existing dog is in their twilight years.

Fucking selfish, heartless bastard cunts.

But saying 'Thanks' takes nothing and has a positive effect on almost everyone. If we all just 'expected' things and were decidedly ungrateful to other people for rubbing along pleasantly with us, our shared quality of life would quickly deteriorate.

It isn't the equivalent of 'falling on knees' and the fact you've had to hyperbolise suggests you realise you need to justify your rudeness.

And you - and several other posters here who think someone should thank you for something they didn't ask you to do - are clearly justifying how entitled you are. 'I did you a favour I opened the DOOR for you, how DARE you not thank me!' Shock

Seriously, catch yourself on. No-one owes anybody a response or a thank you for anything, that they didn't ask them to do. As I said, it's nice if they DO thank you, but it's very entitled and arrogant to get all sniffy if someone doesn't thank you for something they didn't ask you to do. Doing things for people that they never asked for, and then expecting to get praise and thanks - is a bit pathetic to be honest.

I'm not going to say any different so you can stop pecking at my head.

People who don't indicate at roundabouts so you don't know if you have to give way or not.

(you know, when everyone is trying to give way to the right, but you don't know if the person is turning left, going straight ahead or turning right and we all sit there like plums waiting for something to happen).

Edited

and then the person behind you hoots because they can't see that the person on the roundabout hasn't signalled

Hellmans squeezy mayo bottles where you can’t get the last of it out and the bottles are almost impossible to cut open to get the last fair bit out and hurt my hand.

I did for a while swop back to jars as more easy to recycle and I use them a bit at home too for putting cream in as that doesn’t come with a lid now, but the price is a fair bit more.

Yes!

The bottle just sort of collapses rigidly on itself.

I haven’t tried but I will next time I chop onions or garlic!

Wash your hands in cold water after chopping garlic. Warm water activates the enzymes that bring out the smell.

BloodyHellBob · 13/09/2024 14:30

Work colleagues who think that you don't see them doing fuck all/bare minimum. They can definitely piss away off to hell!

Fathercrispness · 13/09/2024 14:30

The stickers on wrapping paper that are supposed to reduce plastic waste. They make the rolls impossible to unwrap. Surely that can’t be the best solution?🤔

I had one by my bed and thought I was taking a sip from the bottle but it was actually the lid which was attached to the bottle.. so water went all over me in the middle of the night!

I suppose the idea is that, gradually, people drinking out of single use plastic bottles in their bedrooms, will gradually migrate to reusable glasses...

Oh this too!!

Also people who don't acknowledge you letting them out.

When that happens I put on a southern US states drawl and mutter 'You ain't from around here, are ya?'

bazoom · 13/09/2024 14:32

People at supermarkets who have zero spatial awareness, natter natter - blocking aisles and displays. damned ignorant.

DopeyS · 13/09/2024 14:33

Milk bottles, the large plastic ones, that have been put together in a way that creates a line from the lid down the bottle..this line managed to pull the milk down it so as soon as you pour it in your tea it creates a fan down the site and pisses everywhere and you have to wipe the bottle.

People that voted Labour into power.

Are you implying that voting Tory into power would have been morally better?
You know how laughable that is, right?

Or is it just that the older generation were happy to hand out the misery to the younger generations by repeatedly voting the Tories in and now the shoe is on the other foot you all don't like it?

It's ironic how many whining posts I've seen since labour won, yet we are supposed to be the crybaby/snowflake generation according to our elders.

Sucks when you don't just get handed everything and everyone makes you out to be grabby when you need a bit of help, doesn't it?

Where was the rage and pouty bottom lips when the two child benefit cap was introduced?
Everyone was so gleeful to take money away from children and force them into poverty, because families were just 'popping out kids and sponging off of everyone else' etc.
Not one hint of rage. Just an overwhelming attitude of "You all deserve this struggle, you don't work hard enough".

Now you know how it feels.

/End rant.

(Wondering how long this comment lasts before someone is butthurt enough to report it for deletion, which is common on here when you say things people don't want to hear).

Those jars of jam or chutney, where you can’t get the knife (or even a teaspoon) round the rim beneath the hole at the top to get the last bits out! (A finger works ok - although I only do that in private!)

Also, those sodding self-service checkouts at Tesco’s and the ‘Unexpected item in bagging area’ voice. I don’t think I’ve ever done the checkout without it going off on one. Funnily enough, the ones in Waitrose are much better…

There's a button so you can turn them down or mute them..

The person or persons who stole my car. I curse you to burn in hell for eternity.

Alpro and all the other soya milk companies who turned there lids of their milk into ones where you prise off and when eventually it gives way the milk shoots up and you get drenched in half the contents

Then there is the lids that remain attached. You might as well pour the remaining contents away as I can never get them to screw back on the bottle whilst not getting the lid cross threaded and eventually leaking all over the contents of your bag

What is it with lids

GPs and consultants who, applying to medical school, lie through their teeth how it is their vocation and how they dreamt of it all their lives and how they dream of helping people, then go part-time and private, forgetting how they begged to be admitted, citing love of people.

I don't need to 'catch myself on' to point out the well researched and documented fact that social niceties hold us together. It's also not entitled to expect someone to recognise when you've put yourself out for someone else. Holding the door open is a small effort; saying thanks is even smaller.

It's such an unattractive trait to hold yourself so haughtily that you'd see someone who has done something nice for you and think 'well you aren't actually deserving of my recognition'.

You clearly lack the self awareness to understand how you sound to everyone on the thread, but that won't stop me pointing it out to you.

The new bottle tops that have me hurting my hands every time i open a bottle of fizzy water

Also, they don't do up properly. I've had a few spillages in my bag.

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.

Can you just not use a knife?!

It's the bottle tops for me and paper straws. I know the logic but they're shit.

Or just twist the lid till it comes away from the bottle
