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!

Forgetting to take the tampon out before you pee.

You're supposed to do that?

Well, if you don't take it out first you end up getting pee on the string, so when you want to remove it you get pee on your hands. Just makes life so much easier if you remember to remove it first.

You only need to remove it first if you intend to remove it at that time, yeah.

Don't you just move the string with a bit of paper? Or is my anatomy different?!

Ha ha, now I'm wondering if I'm the one who's odd! I can't go to the loo without changing my tampon.

I just make sure the string is out of the way (if I remember!). I guess if you need to change it anyway you might as well remove it first though.

No idea what is normal/odd, it's not really something that tends to come up in conversation in real life!

Suppose it's not like anyone ever watches you take it out. Doesn't matter if you sit and thread beads on it really.....

Chuckles at threading beads on your tampon string!

The fact that at tescos the fresh cream is near the puddings, rather than the dairy aisle . That's two minutes I'll never get back!

When you have had a hard day, struggled to get a teething screaming baby to sleep and have finally relaxed with a drink, and you hear

'whhhaaaaa' over the baby monitor just as you raise the glass to your lips

When you can't peel the label off your bottle of beer in one clean piece

I find that very frustrating!

When you make yourself a soft boiled egg, cut off the top and the white is still runny.

Makes me want to weep.

People who conduct their financial affairs at the cashpoint. Just lift the money and go, for heaven's sake.

Changing a wet nappy then two minutes later you hear the 'I'm doing a poo now' noise.

People taking trolleys through the self-checkout tills that are clearly designed for BASKETS ONLY. People using the said self-checkouts and stacking their groceries into the packing area rather than putting them INSIDE THE BLOODY BAGS.

Oh, the rage.

Dog shit outside school gates/my driveway/path

People who walk along in a group blocking the entire corridoor/pathway

People who walk into the main entrance at work...then just stop in the doorway and look around. Leaving people stuck behind them, unable to pass.

Older folk driving in rush hour morning traffic.
They stop at traffic lights...good, huge line of cars behind them.
Traffic lights turn amber, then quickly green.
Why are we all still sat not moving in the line when its been green for a minute, THEN they slowely move off and pootle along at 15mph.
3 cars through...then fecking red again.
Hurry up God damn you, we have all got to get to work/school.

just catching up :) Agree about cashpoint lurkers, but not the cream - it's with milk in our tesco

Tourists in London who don't understand that you can cross the road when the traffic stops, you don't need to wait for the green man and then discuss it first.

stealth hard to peel eggs are v fresh, according to my DH. We used to have chickens and date marked eggs for this reason, older ones hot boiled, newer ones cracked.

To add my own....supermarkets laid out differently to one another in the same chain. I despise Tesco but needs must as mum lives almost in the carpark of her local one and I can't always get everything in Aldi, but when I pop to mums, I want to walk straight to what I want. Coleslaw last night....never did find it or a member of staff to ask but that's a different rant

Peeling blooming onions that won't peel properly. Then your hands stink afterwards despite washing 3 times.
And they make me cry. Blooming things.

Make coffee, propper coffee with ground coffe beans, then rub coffee grounds into your hands like soap, rinse and viola, stink free hands.

Ooh thanks, I shall try that and make DH drink lots of coffee.

Need to use the computer urgently but it takes the usual time absolutrely ages to get to the point I want.

Just want to add on. Stopping smoking on the same day as DP. Everything then becomes a little frustration....
