Life's little disappointments?

[IsChippyMintonExDirectory]

Today I had a Krispy Kreme donut for the first time. Bleurgh. £1.25 of mediocre-ness. I thought it would be a little slice of heaven.

Also disappointing:
Lukewarm baths when you know that no amount of adding hot water will make it hot enough
The cherry blossom tree in the front garden refusing to blossom with the rest of the street
Not fitting into your pre-baby clothes despite being back to your pre-baby weight (stupid widened hips!)
When you order a curry or sticky toffee pudding and it has the nerve to contain raisins.

Any more?

" Fuck off, Sarah" made me laugh the most:) that happens to me a lot, and I keep a smile on my face and say " great! She sounds lovely..."

Tesco have moved everything in my local store. The whole store has been changed round. Everyone there including the staff are so bloody fed up with it. If its not broken, why fix it?

And yes, I did try the online ordering only the delivery driver forgot all my dairy products so he had to come back at the end of his shift. Which was no good to me as I had to wait in all day for another delivery and dd wanted milk. Which, the tesco customer service said " was not their problem" thanks!

:o Cheers Zing, I think I may need large counselling with double cheese :o

Planned days out to fun places and the kids throw a tantrum all day!
Booking your well needed hair appointment and your hair ends up looking worse
going to your favourite restaurant on a special occasion to find the usual chef is off and the food is awful
you find the most perfect jeans and buy them and when you try to find them again they are discontinued!

All your comfy undies are in the wash and you're down to that silly g-string you bought to wear under that silly dress.

Bogey best friend's husband doesn't like gravy and doesn't have it with a roast dinner or anything else. Very weird.

I might be weird too as I love a veggie pizza

Getting a flat tyre which knackers up your day and costs £££££.

Getting that sorted then DC making utter drama out of simple homework.

Hiding from stroppy DC in the garden and forgetting to bring a drink.

Grrrrr.

Myrtle

gravy - yuck! I'm with him on that.
I do have an excuse of not being English though!

Am with the raisins. Why is so much otherwise nice food contaminated with them? But not the hard egg yolks. I have to cook eggs really well, runniness is bleurgh.

@ contaminated!

watch out for toxic raisins!

Telling the cashier in the supermarket that he has scanned your loaf through at full price and not the reduced one. He then rescans the reduced price in and only when you get home do you realise you have been charged both the full price and reduced price making the loaf more expensive than had you bought it at full price anyway!

Supermarket beef after being used to nice stuff from the butcher...
Butcher is more expensive so we eat less meat but what we have is worth eating...
Stuck for dinner and there was some braising steak in the reduced section at ASDA (it wasn't 'value' it was extra fine or whatever asda's version is)
Thought not had beef pie for ages - I'll make that. Went to all the trouble of making it, homemade pastry the lot, mouth watery at the impending yumminess - and it was just 'meh' - beef was totally tasteless in comparison...wish I'd not bothered - or made the effort to go to the butcher after I'd had the inspiration...

Being invited out for Sunday lunch. And finding a roast is not on the menu.

People buying Christmas presents that are off-list.

That feeling when you drive away from the hotel at the end of a really fabulous holiday.

Getting out of the shower and realising you've left the towel on the bedroom radiator, so you have to shiver and drip your way back to the bedroom because it's stupid o'clock in the morning and you are the only one awake.

As others have said, eggs are a minefield of potential disappointment:

poached eggs: when the yolk has set hard, leaving you with no runny deliciousness for your eggs benedict.

fried eggs: hard yolk, or (much much worse): when the white hasn't quite cooked properly so you end up with a bit of jelly-like white in the middle of your friend breakfast. Boak.

boiled eggs: hard yolk so nothing to dip your soldiers into.

Putting lovely line dried linens onto your bed only to realise a) the blood stain hasn't quite come out*; and b) you can't sleep naked tonight.

*blood due to period not murder. Ditto why I have to wear clothes in bed.

When you realised you forgot to put your very expensive face cream on again.

Sitting on toilet about to do your business only to realise there's no toilet paper
Driving all the way home from town then realise you've let you m&s lunch sitting in shopping bag bit of the self checkout

when you need a big poo and not quite all of it comes out.
just doesn't feel right and not satisfactory enough

Agree with so many on here...

But to add to the no gravy with the roast one... going to a BBQ at someone's house and they don't have ketchup not even the horrible cheap stuff! How can you eat sausages and burgers without ketchup?

Innermagic, that's more of a major panic than a little disappointment!

Auntie I hate ketchup so I never eat my sausages and burgers with it! I have mayo and/or mustard and/or bbq sauce. However, it is standard for bbqs so would provide it for my guests.

Going to have a browse on a website at pretty things only to find the pictures won't load...
