The worst thing in the world? (Hyperbolic, dramatic, first world but oh so real)

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

When the radio dj isn’t in, and there’s a substitute.

where is Matt from Matt & Molly on radio 1????

The worst thing in the world is the plastic wrapping they put on cucumbers. Why can't we just wash them when we get it home?

Sorry got no input on the radio question

Ugh yes!! I was grumpy the first week of January waiting for Scott Mills to get back to his radio show!!

It’s annoying, like get back to work, you’re paid enough!!!! 😂😂

Ooo see the people in my local area aren’t the cleanest 😬😬😬, so I do appreciate the plastic

bad for the planet, I know

Why do cucumbers get wrapping and not courgettes? Discrimination surely?

imo Courgettes are the more phallic looking of the two veg, so that’s the one you’d cover up surely

Factory Farming.

People who walk up to bars/counters in a busy shop/cafe/pub/bar etc and appear to have never been in that situation before and lose all ability to decide what they want and then which method to use to pay for it once they get it.

People who ask you a question and then begin to talk over you as you answer.

What’s factory farming? like caged chickens? I do feel bad for them but I am poor 😂

omg people drive me crazy. You’re at a Greggs, the menu has been the same for years, just pick a sausage roll and leave!!

Exactly! And we haven't even got onto parsnips and carrots. We need a level vegetable playing field.

Courgettes are cooked. Cucumbers aren’t usually.

Also cucumbers apparently keep much longer when they are wrapped in plastic. It’s something to do with the high water content I think.

People who say “chocs” instead of “chocolate”.

Marks and Spencers paper paper bags. Rubbish. Almost as useless as a Sparks card. It's an embarrassment to itself.

You can wash them, you know!

Can I ask @Barney16do you have to pay for the paper bags in the UK branches of M&S ?
We do in Ireland !
The feckers charge 70cent.
About 60p in sterling.
I think that is disgraceful !

Apples aren't usually cooked before we eat them. Why are we to be trusted with unwrapped apples . Or pears?. Or apricots? Why do we need our cucumbers wrapped up if not other similar food ?.

@deeahgwitch We're supposed to pay for them in the UK too but I never do if I'm at self service tills .

Yes we have to pay although I remember a thread from here a while ago where someone said she had got a free paperbag as sparks card offer which illustrates my other point about how rubbish a sparks card is.

The worst thing in the world is radio shows!

I totally don’t get any anyone would hang around and listen to someone else’s song choices when Spotify exists. And their terrible banter in between.

When the bin collection schedule goes squiffy over Christmas and New Year and, even though I have carefully read the rescheduled calendar, I still doubt myself and get anxious when I put the bins out. It's first world angst I could well do without in January, thank you very much.

Downsized from a house to an apartment. Zealously decluttered/binned. Asked for the most amazing wine over Christmas, no corkscrew. Or even worse, when the corkscrew breaks off in the cork and sits, mocking you. Corkscrew says no.
