Silly little conspiracies you believe in

[Soubriquet]

Not serious ones like Diana was murdered etc, but silly little ones.

For example,

when it comes to wipes in a packet, I’m positive they rig it so more than one wipe comes out at a time. Then they make the sticky reseal not as sticky so they dry out quicker meaning you have to go and buy more instead of using what you’ve got

Defo. And the thingy on the caps of eg milk bottles? They know you'll end up spilling half the contents and have to open another one!

The fact that you never get lids on pots of cream or yoghurt anymore, just the peel back foil, meaning it's harder to keep them for more than one use.

That the bus on the opposite side to which you need always comes first

And that it always rains on the afternoon school run

That the tv people are in cahoots with the battery people.

They vary the volume so you have to constantly use the remote control even when you are just watching the same channel all day.

That cartons of milk etc are designed so the last bit never comes out easily.

Same re toiletries and the like

The one re the school run time is spooky - it nearly always rains at 3 pm if it’s going to rain!

Links to other sites are strategically placed so you will inadvertently click on them with your thumb when doom scrolling through an app and get a webpage open up. Gives me the absolute rage

Definitely think 'big-purse' uses a lot of pressure to ensure women's clothes have either non or useless pockets to make sure they keep buying handbags and purses. Not sure of the logistics but definitely makes sense.

I agree with you about the wipes. It's damn near impossible to get just one out of the packet after the first few. And if you try to stuff it back in,it inevitably dries out. Just another ploy to make us buy more.

Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig having a third baby in Peppa Pig is covert government propaganda to boost the birthrate in the UK

I don't disagree with you at all but I learnt (on here!) to keep the packet upside down. Keeps it closed and harder to dry out.

The TV show 'only connect' is a recruiting tool for the intelligence services...

My sat nav always gives a journey length of 2-3 minutes longer than it really will take, so it looks like I've beaten it somehow

Ooo I like this one!

....extra catalyst added to paint so it goes past drying and starts to degrade....built in obsolescence supports consumerism

This.

And coleslaw.

You can't keep it sealed and fresh.

Same with ready meals that used to be heated with a lid. Now just a thin film to save plastic.

Well I used to save the one's with the lids and re-use. There's no re-using now.

Most electronic items have something built in that means they just stop working at some point so you have to replace them

Tissues are designed to irritate the lining of your nose and make you more snotty so that you buy more tissues.

My kids are I in their 20s and I still remember the rain shower at 3pm which would stop just as we got home.

.... random conversations in front of your phone changes the adverts it targets you with.......👂

That the council don’t really recycle the blue bins, it just sits in warehouses. I still put my recycling out, so I’m not a conspiracy nutter 😃

That there is a place where all the lost socks go.

Seriously I live alone. So where to all the fucking socks go ? I never have a pair. Always old socks. They just vanish.

Apparently we're surrounded by teeny, tiny, black holes, they're going there.

“We are having a higher call volume than normal. Please hold. Your call is important to us”

Yeah yeah yeah. You ALWAYS say there is a higher call volume

The people who say 'you can choose not to be gay' are all bisexual, and have chosen to only pursue the opposite sex.
