Just some light relief from petrol angst.
Mine would be OHs running trophies which line the front of several bookshelves. I'm proud of him for being so fit and getting them, but they're all so fugly: tacky cups or blocks of wood ) resin with plastic 'medallions' glued to them. Why don't they offer something useful like a t-shirt?

Bloody cables everywhere. The back of our TV unit hurts my eyes. Why so many? We aren’t mining BitCoin. And why do more cables keep arriving in the post?!

The toys! No matter how many storage solutions I come up with in different rooms, there are always so many toys in sight and even after clearing them all away, some are just too big to go into a toy box/cabinet/behind the sofa/under the sofa!
Can thank the in laws for the giant hotwheels car park that is too big to tuck into any corner!

Also DHs laptop and piles of paperwork, we have a home office with plenty of space but he "prefers working at the kitchen table."

Cat stuff. Litter trays, food and water bowls, scratching post, cat tower... Plus a fugly throw which has seen better days, but which Girlcat loves to sleep in,
I was just going to post the same thing, they take up so much space.

A mini fridge in the conservatory - I cannot tell you how much I despise this fridge. DD brought it home from her uni halls when she moved home, and DH decided it would make a perfect little home for his fizzy pop cans (that's another bone of contention...), so my lovely conservatory now has a fucking mini fridge sitting on the floor.

They might not be the best quality but at least T-shirts can be worn (and in due course,worn out😁) unlike bloody trophy tat...[/quote]
Worn out? Never! All that technical man made fibre...haunts you for life.

Trophy tat.....I'm hurt Wink
