People who are doing it WRONG

[GloGirl]

My Dad loves to talk about how he enjoys a good barbecue in this weather, once he even invited a lot of family round for one.

His version of a BBQ is a George Formby grill (natch), and in nice weather he plugs it in outside to cook a burger or sausage on. He is quite evangelical about how clever it is to barbecue that way.

It gives me the gritted teeth rage.

Message to all the Swivellers.

If you fold back the small flap first so hooks are at the very end it makes it much easier to locate hooks when you put your bra on. Hey presto - no need for swivelling.

I just can't see any reason not to swivel though, been doing it for 35 years and can't see me changing now, it's so easy that way.

It might be much easier if you fold back the flaps, but that doesn't change the fact that it's much easier still, to swivel. Common sense says it is.

Do you guys manage to hook up instantly every single time, as we swivellers do? Surely you have to fumble about a bit? If you don't then hats off to you all, you're a clever person than me.

I'm not going to say proud to be a hooker!

I spent about a few minutes eleventy million hours trying to fasten my bra this morning.

Then I gave up and went back to swivelling. That sounds so wrong.

If you were meant to do things up behind your back then you would have eyes that look that way too.

Bra swivelling is wrong. My Mum bra swivelled and was most put out when I got my first bra and back fastened straight away.

Tea should be made in a pot, never a cup.

Weetabix is disgusting wet or dry.

I have never met anyone outside my family who makes a bacon sandwich correctly. The bread must be lightly toasted or oven warmed if it's a breadcake and the bacon should be crisp and cut into small pieces with scissors. Sauce is wrong, though I am a lone voice on that one.

Also people who don't rinse dishes before and after washing them, mingers.

I didn't know potatoes in fridge kept them fresh. V useful although part of my annoyance with fridge potatoes is that they take up far too much room.

OH takes a whole pack of biscuits into the living room and sits there eating from the pack as if they are crisps. Soon the whole pack is gone. Nooooo!!! You take two or three from the pack to have with a cuppa and you exercise some restraint!!

Ooh also
Peoe who print every email. Why? You then see the printed email in the bin. So you didn't even want it.

Advice slips from cash points - also wrong if you have to ask for one

" You take two or three from the pack to have with a cuppa and you exercise some restraint!!"

WRONG.

ChickenMe I've never heard of anyone printing every email. Why on earth would they do that?

"My biggest gripe ever is going for a meal to someone's house and they serve a delicious hot meal on a cold plate. This is a hanging offence."

Oh yes, I agree 100% with this.

On the subject of bacon, I can't stand crispy bacon and to tell the truth, I'm perfectly happy with it microwaved, but then I only eat smoked back bacon with the rind and fat cut off, so there's no "flabby fat" that other people have mentioned, just cooked bacon.

It takes me seconds to put on my bra and fasten it at the back and it would be a hell of a lot more awkward and time-consuming to 'swivel'. What a palaver for such a simple task.
Potatoes in any form with pizza, pasta or rice is really bizarre to me and extremely unappetising.

Barbecue here as well.

DH is Australian. While we lived in the UK, I decided to have a barbecue for my birthday, invited a few people, thinking "genuine Aussie to man the barbie, excellent!" Turns out the genuine Aussie didn't have the first fucking clue how to work a coal barbecue, as he has only ever used an outdoor gas-fired hotplate. So I had to do it myself.

Outdoor gas-fired hotplate does not equal barbecue to me, but it does to most Aussies.

Bacon sandwich - bacon should be fried crispy, so the fat is not stringy any more, and the bread should be fried on one side only til it's a bit crispy, no butter. That is the best way to have a bacon sandwich, IMO.

ObiWanCannoli "She also thanks the cash machine and told me quite matter of factly the man behind the machine appreciates it."

Huh? I mean what the hell? Seriously? Good grief! My mother is 95 years old and doesn't understand computers or anything 'techy' but even she knows better than that.

Have another

People who use the wrong utensils etc when cooking. This particularly irksome habit is often seen on shows like CDWM. Using a casserole dish as a mixing bowl, for example. Or using a metal spoon to stir a sauce with.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
How I laughed at one CDWM episode where a misguided chap tried to cook an apple crumble in a glass mixing bow. The bowl cracked, of course. Karma.

I worked in an office and this guy used to do it Grunt. Read email, make an approving noise, print it to put in his own in tray. Then later you would see it discarded. It was all the time and it's like he thought he ought to.

OH unwraps his McDonald's and puts it on a plate. He has also been known to use knife and fork for takeaway pizza. Not allowed.

At Rigby and Peller, bra-makers to the Queen, they will tell you to swivel. So swivel I do

I put my bra on by doing up at the back then sort of flipping the cups up and rearranging. Swivelling is uncomfortable and can't do up the traditional arms in first way.

"At Rigby and Peller, bra-makers to the Queen, they will tell you to swivel. So swivel I do"

Well, I'm not going to change the habit of a lifetime, which takes seconds, to sod about doing something different because Rigby and Peller say so. What would be the point of that?

The only time I've ever done the bra swivel was when I broke my collar bone and couldn't lift my right arm at all, or do much else with it - it was an utter pain though! Never done it since, but I fear as I get older I may have to start especially as I appear to have done a mischief to my right deltoid muscle.

Well the Queen appears to often sport a mono boob so I'm damned if I'm following Rigby & Peller's advice.

Dipping one sided (buttered) toast into hot black sweet tea....that's correct.

Butter on scones. also butter on hot croissants also correct.

Teabag & sugar into mug before boiling water no milk. very correct.

Bras...N/A to me

I used to swivel now I hook. I got fed up with the straps getting stretched out.

MIL dips her buttered, honey or jam covered toast in her coffee at breakfast. leaves an oil slick in the coffee. so so wrong.

Do you guys manage to hook up instantly every single time, as we swivellers do?

I'm just as fast hooking up at the back (maybe faster due to practice) than at the front.
My trick is to use a finger as guide for one loop, then the rest just follows.
