Dsds only seem to have odd socks here - I have in fact given up attempting to pair them. DSD1 looks horrified and tries to find two that look similar, dsd2 loves it and puts any old ones on and happily deals with it.
I blame the dog.

Imaginary fleas. Cat had them, got rid of them, but my skin is constantly crawling even though there are no bites. All frigging night.

Flys (flies? temp mental block. hope it passes soon) are the most annoying things in the world.

Closely followed by people making crumbs when you've just vaccumed and finding cups and plates when you've just washed up!

Flies are annoying by virtue of the fact they are just so stupid, and also bumblebees though I want to love them. FFS. The open door is RIGHT THERE. Do you really have to buzz and bumble around on the glass RIGHT NEXT to it for 3/4 of an hour until you die of exhaustion? Bloody evolve will you!

I have done the tupperware sort-out too - the secret as Purple says is to stack them all with their lids in place. Yes, you will practically need a dedicated tupperware room, but it's worth it.

One of my most annoying household items is TV remotes. Cleverly weighted so that when you think you are putting them down on a flat surface they somehow fling themselves off, crash onto the floor pop open their battery covers and eject the batteries which roll under the telly into the tangle of cables and fluff. AAAAARRRGGGGH.

Grin Grin Grin at Talc's butternut squash toe. Hurts like buggery (one assumes Wink).

I get irrationally annoyed by the condiments shelf in the kitchen cupboard, where every item seems to have some sort of dribbly, sticky, gritty, oily seepage and leakage problem so the shelf ends up with a fine coating of salty, peppery, vinegary, syrupy, sugaryness no matter how often I wipe down the bloody thing and all its bastard contents.
