Just for fun to take our minds off the huge, horrible stuff in our lives.

I do too, but what's the point? It's not like you're going to open a bottle of pop and leave it open to go flat and lose the lid. I'm probably missing something 🤣

It’s so the lids and bottles stay together for recycling. Otherwise the kids get detached and are too small to be picked up by the machinery.

The new cunty lids on coke bottles that stay attached, they can fuck off.

Delivery drivers doing a little tap on the front door when there is a perfectly good doorbell right next to them. Meaning that even though I'm in, I am at risk of my parcels being nabbed from my doorstep as I can't hear a tap on the door while I'm upstairs.

I don't know if people are under the impression that Ring doorbells only activate when you press the button but they don't

The twat down the gym who insists on giving people unsolicited advice on how to do their workouts.

"Hey there, just been watching you on the rowing machine, let me give you a few tips'

Fuck off you patronising arse, my coach down the rowing club is an Olympic medalist and I have competed at Henley Royal Regatta. The back of my tech top says 'xxxxxx rowing club senior crew' which you definitely saw before you strolled over so why the fuck am I going to listen to some random gimp in a 'Golds Gym' vest.

Squeezey bottle mayonnaise that you have to take off the lid to get the last bits.

Foundation in pump bottles that don't get the bottom bits out so you have to somehow prise the top off without smashing the glass and then you can get at least another week out of.

My husband constantly clearing his throat.

The Alexa.

I swear at it almost every day. I wish my DH had never bought it then connected our whole place to it!

Me: "Alexa turn on the living room lamp"

Alexa "sorry I do not know this"

Me "Alexa turn on the living room lamp"

Alexa "Some versions of this song are available for you on Amazon music, would you like me to shuffle?"

Me "FUCK OFF"

Where is it pronounced expresso?

Show quote history

Expresso is recognised in the Oxford English Dictionary as a variant of espresso.

I had that Samsung washing machine that's so funny that it's on you tube!!😂😂😂😂
I liked that little song, like the machine is proud of itself.

People who sit in their cars right by the supermarket entrance. It's a car park, park the fucking car.

My DD only has one hand and they're very hard for her to use.

And while I'm about it, the autocorrect on this tablet that persists on correcting something I don't want correcting.

Pumkinsareshortlived · 16/08/2023 23:27

DH leaving his outdoor shoes in the middle of the floor.

DH not undoing the buttons on his work shirts before putting them in the wash.

DH wondering what I've done all day if I'm home on day off from work. He seems to forget cleaning, washing and ironing take time, that someone has to shop for food, it doesn't magically appear in fridge and on the plate.

When DH first started wfh at the start of covid he was working at the far side of the kitchen. If he was on a zoom call his team mates used to sing along with it. I found that very funny. He didn't.

Flossflower · 16/08/2023 23:32

@Pumkinsareshortlived
what does it matter if the buttons are left done up. I do the washing and it ends up back to him like that. It is better than leaving a tissue in a pocket.

🤣 that's something that would mildly amuse a couple of times... Aww it's washed the dirty clothes!

1 week later. Sledgehammer.

That is purely regional. Are you from the north?

My mil thinking my husband is the best dad and husband ever because he occasionally does housework/takes the kids out...

He's a tight bastard and refuses to spend money so she'll then BUY him things he mentions has broken/ripped/needs new of (note not things for the house or kids). Happened recently with socks.. holes in his socks and I kept saying "buy some new socks" but he refused.. MIL then saying "oh poor daddyloveswine with no decent socks" and glaring at me.., then passively aggressively drops socks round for him she's bought.
