Little things that make you go grrr....

[Littleorangetree]

Lighthearted thread to alleviate the boredom of a pretty dull Sunday!

Shaving your legs in a freezing bathroom (ouch!)
Putting on rubber gloves and finding they're all wet inside

What little things make you go grrr??

catching my sleeve on a doorknob

The stupid little sticky-up bit with no purpose on the door storage bit in my car that inevitably catches my trouser leg as I leave the car.

Sticky residue in the heel of my shoe after I've removed the price label. Grrrr!

Buying anything made of glass, particularly something that will be on display like a candle holder that has a sticky label on that leaves sticky gritty residue in the bottom, put a label on that comes off easily!!!!!

The fact the DP will wash up but only as much as will fit on the drainer. He will not wipe up, then put it away, then continue to wash up. Grr!

Scratchy labels in the neckline of new tops!

..someone treading on the back of your flip flop

Pre-recorded phonecalls about PPI. FFS, at least give me a human being I can tell to sod off.

(PS: A quick squirt of WD40 gets rid of that sticky residue.)

Shoulder bags dropping off when you're wrestling with your keys.

Cheap plastic tat grandparents buy!!! Seriously it's lovely you think of the kids but you can turn up empty handed they will be happy just to see you! You don't have to spend money and buy presents you can't afford. The visit from family is what matters .

Having to clean the bloomin' guinea pigs out every week, and knowing I'll have to do it for about 7 years come rain or shine because I gave in to DD's birthday request for a pet!

Sharing a water bottle with DD on a day out, and finding little white bits in the water, thus rendering it undrinkable. (By me anyway)

MagicHouse I clean my bloomin' guinea-pigs house out every day and I love it because I like to know my little boys have dry newspaper and fresh snuggly hay.

My grrr would be "cleaning the cage and the little blighters don't appreciate my efforts"

And hangnails that catch on everything when I haven#t got nail clippers handy

And tardy time keepers gggrrr late people

The infinite variations of ways to turn taps on in public loos.

Is it only me?

If I can't fathom it out, I end up assuming that there is some kind of sensor and waft my arms about in front of the taps - only to see somebody else with more intelligence turn the tap on with no effort.

How do they know??

The "l" key on my iPhone being too close to the backspace button so I end up deleting the previous letter instead of typing an "L".

The thoughtless neighbour who has put a load of cardboard boxes and polystyrene packaging out by the bins without thinking to tie them up / weigh then down so a light breeze has them strewn all over the lane beside our house.

People who finish a jar of my peanut butter and put it back in the cupboard when it's empty!

Treading in cat sick in bare feet.

Hello 70isnotalimit You gave me advice about having GP's ages ago - don't know if you remember! I do clean out/ replace the wet bits/hay etc every day! It's the mammoth/ scrub the cage out clean and replace everything once a week I can't say I love!!! I love them really! But I can't see me ever approaching that task with joy!

When my fingers go wrinkly in the bath, I hate it! I can't touch anything unt it goes away.

My phone has it ? Right next to the space bar.

My texts read thinks like. "Hi?DH? When will?you?be home?"

Typing thinks for things on
My iPod.
