What's more annoying than your phone falling down the side of the driver side car seat which is too narrow for your hand to fit through?

That is all.

People using their phone while they're driving?

When sitting waiting for someone, I should have clarified.

First world probs.

Why assume the person is driving. This happens to me all the time while I put my bag on the seat, the phone slides out and its a job in itself to get it out

Anyway, well done, way to ruin the thread by ruining the lighthearted nature of it

Tea bag splitting when making a cuppa breaks my heart every time

This happened to me this morning. Ripped the two teabags to separate, ripped into it.

Dregs in my morning cuppa.

@HappyHappyy yes me too, I think about the journey those tea leaves have been on just to end up in the bin before they've even been used 😢

Dropping the last sweet down the side of the car seat (passenger) and ripping a teabag

Sitting in a nice cafe doing cross stitch and I drop my needle. It has gone into the void. Have to pack up and go home.

Ok fine. Lighthearted. Having to pour the expensive wine you got as a Christmas gift through one of your baby's muslin cloths because the cork was dust.

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 24/01/2025 22:28

Checking if my mug is empty and spilling half a mug of coffee all over myself as no it was not empty so why did I handle it like it was?! I do this surprisingly frequently.

The yolk bursting when you crack an egg into the pan. Still edible but less enjoyable.

I have 2 brand new bathrooms.

The toilets are ..... I don't know....weird - the bottoms are square and there is a little slope so there's almost a slight shelf.
So my FWPs:

  1. the expensive toilet brush (round) can't clean the toilet
  2. I need to put down a 'poo carpet' otherwise it will take too much flushing to get rid of 'anything'! IYSWIMGrin

Getting shell in the egg when you break it open

Im paranoid about this, I break every egg in a small glass and have to take my glasses off to carefully examine it.

🙄 it’s not that hard to work out!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Lots of toilets are like that in Germany; they have a proper poo shelf.

Having a lemsip and honey in bed because I am ill and then having to get out of a comfortable, warm bed to clean my teeth.

This is the worst because you cant do you teeth beforehand because the taste of sweet things after toothpaste is horrible.

What a dilemma!
