I’m in a mood. What should be banned (lighthearted)

[Merryoldgoat]

Fucking door knocking charity callers. Why is it allowed? It’s intrusive and I bloody hate it.

Pink deodorant - always cloying and horribly floral.

Having to refill rinse aid

I think the menopause is hitting hard today.

Flat head screws. JUST WHY? I will accept Phillips head, but in ideal world would ban those too and only allow Pozidriv to exist.

After the last few weeks lying ex husbands should be banned!

There's a famous video of someone doing exactly that:

You can ask your chemist to put your tablets in a dosette box for you. They will put everything in separate compartments for each of your daily doses.

My hero 🥰

I just thought of another one - smoking.
not smokers but the smell of smoke lingering around, sticking to your hair/clothes and making you stink all day. Vile stench, even worse when you have no choice but to sit in the fug of cigarette smoke, with the stink getting into your clothes because you are working and the person you are helping refuses to go outside or open a window and just smokes all day long in one room. Blergh!

Having to pay £5 for a curry to be delivered.

Not using your Nectar app on your phone for a while so it logs you out, and having to fight with the sodding thing in store to try and login again.

Parking apps. Why can there not be just one universal app? Instead of arriving at a station car park in nice time to get your train and finding you have to log on (there's no signal/wifi/indication of how to do so), search for the app, create a new password, verify your identity, type in your numberplate (you can now hear your train pulling up), fill in a form with your email address and every house you lived in since you were twelve, pay - and then go through the process of verification with your bank, by which time the train has either gone or you've decided to take the hit and just pay the parking fine.

Yikes. Where are you that smoking in the workplace is acceptable?

I got a new car in Sept. I have not had the strength to try and enter the new reg in any of the Apps yet, it just makes me so angry.
I just want to put 50p in a machine, do my 20 mins of shopping and go.

I had this a few days ago it needed a min of 14 characters!

🤯🤯

Also:

At least one uppercase letter.

At least one symbol ... Like [ or % or $ or £ or ! etc etc etc.

At least 1 number.

Cannot be similar to a previous one you have had.

Cannot be one that is used too much by other people.

Cannot have any names in it - especially not your own.

And yeah, sometimes, it has to be a minimum of 14 characters.

And then as for trying to remember it afterwards!

Luckily, my passwords save for all my accounts on my laptop. But if I'm logging in from somewhere else (or on my phone,) I am screwed. 😬

Password manager is a lifesaver. I use 1Pass (not an ad 😆).

The boots app - I hardly shop there nowadays as I think their stores have gone downhill massively. I used to have a boots advantage card but it got damaged after so many years use and would no longer scan, then when I tried to replace it I got told it's all digital now. Except that whenever I try to sync the "digital" one they email me with my account on the app, it never works, so I only shop very rarely now via their website or in person if I happen to be in town, but I have no way that I know of of redeeming my receipts from in store shopping for points now. If it's not broken, don't try and "fix" it!

Also my superdrug points card - they no longer give plastic ones but these rubbish hard cardboard ones that are prone to damage from water, the details more easily getting rubbed off etc.

I just have a 'password wallet.' I think it comes with Windows 11.

I hate this too! I'm quite sensitive to the smell of smoke and it often makes me feel nauseous when someone walks past me with the strong "just smoked" smell. At least try and mask it with some chewing gum or a spritz of perfume or something. Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in the 70's or whenever when smoking in offices workplaces was still very socially acceptable. If you have several colleagues coming back in at the same time with that smokey fog around then, I literally find it stomach-churning 🤢

Chewing gum. Everything about it is disgusting, including the people chewing it.

I have password manager. Just tried to sign in to JustPark using my appleID and faceID - 'there is a problem, try again later (1009).
The website obviously only has a bot.
This was me just trying to enter my new car reg, not even park anywhere!

I work in people’s own homes. The stench from one home literally makes me put them last on my list so I don’t have to sit in Smokey clothes all day and I can go home, shower and wash my hair

Cold calling.
Chuggers.
The phrase 'coffee badging'.
Pointless meetings that should be emails.
Cars with flat backs.
Roadworks on motorways.
Lorries in the middle lane.
Tik Tok
Itching.
PMT
Oversharing on social media.

I am peri menopausal I think.

Online platforms that keep showing you the same thing as you've recently bought. If I've just bought pegs, kid's vests, a kitchen timer etc. I'm not going to want to see more of them am I, but yet they keep on appearing, and then as side adverts too

Ah yeah.....I didn't think very broadly then, did I.
I used to work in a pub when smoking was still allowed. That was bad!

Women banging on about womens rights all the time.
Loud clapping.
Screaming kids.
Older mums banging on about being an older mum.
Men thinking there good in bed.
Gentle parenting.
SEN used to cover the fact that you or your child is a dick head.
Parents that have a baby and then cant wash a cup up or anything because they have a baby.
Men that wear suits for no reason.
Clutter.
Bin men that arrive at 7am and wake me with the noise.
Face tattoos.
Men that wear make-up.
And many many more.
