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?

Bread ripping in the middle whilst trying to spread with too hard butter.
Cinnamon infected puddings.

ordering a Caeser salad and it arrives and...its the wrong lettuce. Caeser salad is meant to be made with crispy lettuce, not that green bitter stuff.

Dieting hard all week and then getting on the scales only to find you've gained!!!!

When you think something has chocolate chips in it but you find out its raisins when you take a bite (happened with a swirl cake thing). Raisins are evil.

or when you get something in a cafe with chocolate on top and, horror, it's not chocolate at all but chocolate flavour cake covering. Who would do such a thing?

Urgh chocolate flavour things are foul

The first time I ever had a Bombay Sapphire gin - I truly expected it to be blue

Getting to weekend after a hard week at work, reaching to pour your first of many well deserved alcoholic beverages, and realising the only thing you fancy is whatever you've run out of.

Being really good on a diet and then for your one weekly treat, finding that the cheesecake has a sponge base instead of biscuit

When Brie isn't quite Squidgy enough

When the bakers run out of nice white bread and I have to have my egg on toast on normal sliced bread

Bank holidays.

When someone's used marge (esp Stork) in their buttercream - the clue is in the name, feckers.

Hair cuts the day after.

Getting a pedicure and knowing you would have scrubbed the heels of yourself done a better job

Getting an up style for a wedding and coming home to blow dry it yourself as it doesn't feel like you

Buying a new foundation and looking like shit in a random mirror while put shopping grrrr

Drizzle. Either rain or don't, but this constant light misting is tiresome.

Every interaction with estate agents

When a recipe I can make blindfold comes out tasting not quite right.

You are so right Kerosene drizzle is depressing too.

When you spend hours faffing about mowing the lawn, in & out of the playframe, round the flowerbeds, avoiding the tortoises etc etc, you finally unplug the extension lead, wind up the wire really carefully round the mower and struggle to manoevre said mower back into shed... and you look round and notice there's one bit you missed Aaaagh!!!!

YY Pesto, like coiling the hosepipe up and seeing the bit you missed on the car.

There's a big food theme going on here!

Waking up thinking it's Sunday and it's Monday.

Waking up to realise it's the last day of your holiday.

Getting the Indian pickles out of the fridge and discovering that there's a bare scraping left round the edges.

Tea or coffee that's just not quite hot enough.

A favourite sock developing a hole that you don't notice until you put it on.

Furry apples.

Rock-hard kiwi fruit.

Thinking it's a pound coin when in fact it's two smaller coins stacked together in your purse to give the impression of pound-coin width.

Cake that looks delicious but turns out to be dry.

Going to staple something with a flourish and there aren't any staples in the bloody stapler.

Salt and shake crisps where the salt packet is missing.

Dry, hard pears

Feeling all smug making lunch to take to work with you, then realising at lunchtime that you have left it sitting on the kitchen table at home. Double whammy of annoyance: you have to traipse out to buy lunch, then when you get home the nice lunch has been sitting in the warm all day and is inedible.
Going away for a few days and forgetting to clear the fridge first so you find that something nice like strawberries have gone all mouldy. The avocado looks OK and you're feeling hopeful but it has turned to black mush inside.
Thinking your car will pass the MOT then it doesn't so you have to go to the faff of getting it fixed up enough to pass and booking it in again.
Any local thing that is usually good being closed or rubbish when you have friends from elsewhere visiting.
Getting a parking ticket for overstaying by about five minutes when you couldn't find what you needed in town, so actually you would have been better off sitting at home ripping up a few £20 notes.

Three ice cubes......check
Squeeze and lob in chunk of a lime......check
Add favourite gin.....check
Get out tonic, no pppsssshhhhht on opening the cap. ITS GONE FLAT!!!

Aaarrrgh, flat tonic is one of life's great disappointments, never mind little.

Underdone potatoes

Room-temperature Coke

Light coverings of snow.
Cheesecake with soggy bottoms.
Crumble that isn't crumbly.
Roast potatoes that aren't crunchy.
Sexy dreams that when you wake up you realise are not real :(

Getting a freshly made sanwich at the deli counter only to bite into it and realise the bread is STALE.... grrrr.

Empty packets of anything in the fridge.

Realising your shoes are leaking....

Looking forward to a pint of beer on Friday after work and the first pint is warm/flat/out of condition
Paying 4 quid for a gin and tonic and it's warm, in a crap glass, with not enough ice (or forgetting to put the tonic in the fridge if i'm at home)- Im with you on this, whatisaweekend
Puff pastry on a pub steak pie - needs to be short crust.

Internet clothes or shoes that need to be returned.

Going to have that last mouthful of coffee out the cup on your desk - and realising it's empty ...
Just happened to me and I'm on about my 4th cup of the day so really can't make another - can I?
