Life's little frustrations

[StealthPolarBear]

1. Peeling an egg that will not peel easily!

I have just peeled 3 eggs from the same box. Two peeled fine, but the third was stubborn, and involved picking off tiny shards of shell, which pulled huge chunks of egg away. Why, egg, why? Just co-operate!

People who stand around in supermarket aisles chatting and blocking the way past with their trolleys, especially when they give you evil looks if your trolley knocks into theirs on the way past, well fucking move somewhere else then, other people don't have all day to wait for you.

Having just over one glass of wine left in a bottle and pouring it into a glass...to find there's another bit left in the bottle. So you take a large sip out of the glass but when you pour the rest out of the bottle, there's a lot less than you thought there was. Then you sit there thinking 'bollocks I didn't want to drink it that fast'

Mrs Next Door. We have a shared garden half divided by a thick hedge. We have a dog. We asked the landlord and you if we could put up a fence with a gate over the gap (the gate was for your access) to keep my dog from coming onto the garden in which so put in so much effort to look lovely. All was agreed.

You then cut down the hedges badly. I now have to explain to my landlord why her hedges look like I cut them with a spoon. Please do not complain to me that my dog can access your garden. He doesn't poop there. He doesn't dig, he just wandered around while I was hanging out washing. No I will not pay to have the hedge removed and a fence the length of the garden put up.

We solved it. You spoilt it. You pay.

Gosh I needed that. Thank you.

People who pull out in front of you when you are happily driving down the road and then proceed to drive at about 10 miles an hour.

People who just stop in the middle of the pavement, then look upset as you plough into them..

hahaha beachy my mum does that, drives me mental!!!

Trying to understand just what my toddler is trying to tell me when everything he says is pronounced dadadaaarda dada dadaar dadadadididida

People who slow right down to turn into a junction from a main road.

worra I know its the Bank Holiday weekend but to have finished a bottle of wine already I'm still in my pj's. I am impressed

To add to the supermarket irritants...
People who act surprised at the till when they discover that they're actually supposed to PAY and then take ages to get their money/cards out...
People who wait for their bags to be packed by the check out operator...
People who've forgotten one thing, run off for ages and come back with loads...
When the supermarket re-organises its layout so it takes twice as long to find anything...
Can you tell that doing the shopping is something I hate?!On the plus side, if they ever bring back supermarket sweep, I reckon I'd be a natural!

People who hog the right hand lane on dual carriageways, causing massive fucking tailbacks. I hate you.

Debeez, that sounds like a big frustration, not really on a par with egg peeling :o

you need to roll the egg catch it and peel it off it works even for stubborn eggs, what doesnt work is peel 'bloody' here drives me loopy and i will be known to go running wild eyed at a packet of bacon with a knife

I meant in general

I'm saving all the for tonight

Avocadoes.

Day 1: It isn't ripe. Pop it on the windowsill.
Day 2: Still not ripe
Day3: . . . . . . . .
Day 7: Still not ripe
Day 8: Turned to mush

Sitting on the opposite side of the table to someone who thinks it's acceptable to use their napkin to root around vigorously in their snotty nostrils and then examine the contents.

Oh I fucking hate those eggs with sticky, non-peelable skins

StealthPolarBear I know, but can I stay anyway? I've decided to make it a little frustration by declining her request and trying to be the bigger person. I refuse to start neighbour wars and our landlord is being great about it.

tourists people who stand in huge groups outside tube stations when I'm trying to get home from work and then amble into said station and who stand on left side of escalator so I can't walk down

Oh and yes Worra - though there is always another bottle

I want some food but I can't decide what, and I have a niggling fear that when I do decide what I fancy it won't be something that I have in, so I'm trying to avoid thinking about it.

Oh yes, escalators.

The escalators at King's Cross that are left up right down for a week and a half and then suddenly change to left down right up.

trills I hate not being able to decide what to eat my stomach is telling me its lunchtime ive been in and out the fridge sighing,

Of course debeez :)
People who don't know that if a road has two lanes you drive kn the left and overtake on the right. (Know I'm not the first with that one :o)

"The escalators at King's Cross that are left up right down for a week and a half and then suddenly change to left down right up."

They do this at Westminster. I'm convinced they do it on purpose to make inattentive idiots like me make a fool of themselves (was this close to stepping down onto the up escalator the other day!)

I have lots of escalator-related frustrations actually...
