Annoying little FWPs

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.

For me it's when Sainsbury's let me know on the day of my delivery that I have substitutions! And naturally it's always stuff I desperately need and end up having to go there anyway, despite me ordering online to specifically avoid it 😂

This is really petty but I HATE it when I make the bed up with fresh sheets and DH gets in first. I want to be the one to luxuriate in the fresh bed before he breaks the seal!

Oh god you've planted this seed in my head and now I'm going to want to do this too 😂

That my baby-monitor camera and monitor screen have different chargers / ports. Minor but annoys me every time, forgot to take one charger last time we were at parents for the eve - why aren’t they USB 😂

Dog starts barking just as I am about to sit down and relax for an hour.

My poo carpet is toilet paper so my poo slides off the toilet shelf easily otherwise it gets stuck
Sorry too much info at this time of the morning!

I put a toilet paper "poo carpet" in the potty for my toddler 😂 realised if I do it right I can just tip into the toilet and give the potty a spray and rinse rather than cleaning a load of stuck on poo out! How lovely haha!!

Game changer!

It really was!!! If all the variables are just right there's virtually nothing to clean! Was sick of spraying potty for ages with shower hose &/or leaving to soak etc!

This week's incredibly first world problem is that Ocado didn't have my usual hummus in stock and substituted truffle hummus, and it smells like feet.

That I can never peel back that little corner on a pk of bacon to open it ! Always have to use a knife

People using their phone while they're driving?

Exactly this

@DuncanMcleod FWP usually refers to minor issues that do not affect your overall wellbeing and prospects. But that often make you (unreasonably) pissed off.

Stop being a dick.

FWP - people on Mumsnet who can't understand a joke 😁

They need to quit fecking about with hummus.

Yup, that hummus is yucky.

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

A 'poo carpet'! 😂😂😂

rosemole · 25/01/2025 17:33

I remember those shelved toilets from being in Austria/Germany. They are designed like that so you can monitor your poos 😂
