AIBVU, but I have the rage. Anyone care to join me?

*People putting leaflets, charity bags and junk mail through my door despite having now 4 different stickers on asking them not to.

*People ignoring what you've asked and answering the question they think you should be asking.

What non-issues bother you?

I'll forgive everyone for partaking in the second rage inducing habit to answer on the re-usable bin liners once. They go in my indoor bin, then decant into the wheelie bin when full. The council here take it away without issue. The wheelie bin doesn't stink for a combination of reasons (food waste either gets composted or bagged and taken to the farm at the edge of the estate, I wash it every empty and sprinkle bicarb in the bottom). Washing them isn't an issue as I already wash cleaning cloths, re-usable kitchen roll, cloth nappies and wipes for 2 kids, it's barely noticeable.

The fact that DH thinks any antibacterial cleaning product (handwash, wipes, spray...blah) is actually radioactive hyper super death star laser blaster magic. No time needed for it to act at all, oh no. Just apply and rinse straight off.

He also refuses to be told bleach won't cut grease.

See dried greasy/gooey/hard/sticky blob on counter, wipe quickly and loosely once without looking = must be gone cos "I wiped it"...then gets pissed off with me if I point out the stain is still there.

Unfamiliar with the concept of rubbing apparently.

Is astonished how much cleaner things are when it's my turn to clean.

I dunno, it's a fucking honest to goodness mystery. It might have something to do with me learning stuff, remembering things from 40 years of cleaning shit and looking at what I'm doing but nah, maybe not cos that's just my crazy talk.

Over twenty years of this shit. Thick bastard. Sometimes I think, how's he's still breathing I don't know.

People, and there are many of them, who want to stand RIGHT BY THE DOOR on the tram so no one can get on or off. 😠

Semi-serious point about Charity bags - one of our regular ones didn't seem legit to me so I e-mailed the Charity Commission - they never replied but there was no online evidence the charity even existed.

Self service checkouts that make up shit (unexpected item in bagging area) and hold you up.

Not remembering to take a bag the shops and buying another poxy bag for life that won't squeeze into the bag drawer.

Drivers that don't indicate, or who drive in the right hand lane of a dual carriageway doing 40mph.

Feeling mega guilty / rage when you find something in the fridge that is mouldy and rather than cleaning out the waste food and washing the packaging / tin to go into the recycling, you instead hold your nose and chuck it in the landfill sack.

Bad spelling or grammar, especially on restaurant menus. Doesn't feel me with hope for the food.

Not being able to get a phone signal when in shops.

People that don't say please and thank you.

People that don't pick up their dog shit, or who do and fling the bag in a bush. Those people and general litterbugs. 😠

Physical, sexual and mental cruelty, towards humans, and animals.

The rise of the idiot. To be rich these days, kids aspire to be like thick, posing, vacuous people who flaunt their "talent" on the likes of TOWIE and Love Island.

Bigotry. The world is going backwards for equality and acceptance.
