Life's little disappointments?

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?

Onion in a nice tuna sandwich or an otherwise perfectly nice salad

Someone turning on the taps downstairs when you're having that long-anticipated nice shower.

Fish skin in your battered fish and chips

Making the effort to go to the library and then not finding anything that looks good.

All glossy magazines these days.

The unsociable cat decing to make itself comfy on my lap for rare catsnuggles just two minutes before I have to leave the house.

Yy to finding one leftover item after you've switched on the washing machine

AlpacaPicnic · 23/04/2014 12:27

Oh and treating yourself to a rare coffee out and they have run out of cups so it have to be in a takeaway paper cup. Its not the same

Waiting 2 weeks to go out for well earned celebratory meal and then going to TWO restaurants who are BOTH closed on Tuesdays.

Fuckers.

Fried eggs that are overdone.

Wine that you thought was normal wine and turns out to be disguised 'lower alcohol for today's lifestyle' wine. There's no place for sweet, watery wine in my lifestyle, piss off.

Recording something on sky + and thanks to bloody football running late the end is missing.

All of the Harry Potter films ..they did not do the books justice, or bloody Keira Knightley version of P&P.

Walking up makung tea and pouring in gone sour milk.

Breaking the yolk of a fried egg in the pan.

Breaking an Easter egg in two raggedy halves.

Having a coffee creme revel when you thought it would be toffee.

Stepping in dog shit.Angry

I have a habit of leaving a few chips on the oven rack thingy and I always look forward to them, even though I've ate my dinner and dont need them...Blush, but dh always wonders in from work and scoffs them on his way by, never fails to piss me off, the greedy bugger. Grin

Lotus biscuit spread....bleurgh!

Empty pistachio shells...I'm tight and try to pick them out when I'm buying loose ones from Lidl.

Luke warm baths.

Putting in a load of washing then realising you have dropped a sock on the stairs.

Weak half empty cups of coffee. I like my coffee strong and black. For some reason people seem to leave enough room in my cup for milk even though I don't take it with milk. which means that my cup is half empty...well not quite but you can see how worked up about it that I get Grin

RuthlessBaggage · 23/04/2014 16:33

Durham - on a similar note, when someone makes your brew too milky, or only makes half a cup. WHERE IS MY LOVELY BREW? Sad

AdeleNazeem · 23/04/2014 16:36

recently had an operation and was in recovery after the general anaesthetic feeling really good but sooo thirsty/hungry as by then i'd been fasting for 20 hours. was told i'd get a hot drink and biscuit after, but was given the most disgusting dishwater luke warm coffee ever ... and no biccie!

fantasising about coffee, I couldn't wait to leave as I knew there was a costa but when i was finally let out at 8pm it was already closed SadSadSad

DurhamDurham · 23/04/2014 16:48

Adele you do need to do something about your addiction....you need to give in to it and make yourself happy Grin

I'm possbily not the best person to help someone with an addiction an I??

DurhamDurham · 23/04/2014 16:49

RUTHLESS I can hear you shouting that now Grin .....nothing worse than a half hearted cuppa whether it is tea or coffee. If people are going to make a drink they should make it properly!

Smilesandpiles · 23/04/2014 16:56

When you have the first decent nights sleep in what feels like years, only to wake up with a headache or your neck stiff because you are not used to sleeping for that long.

NadiaC34 · 23/04/2014 16:57

Paying for a service to "protect by credit cards" and finding out they debited my card three times instead of one! Getting them to even address the issue is a farce. Pretty angry right now

AdeleNazeem · 23/04/2014 17:11

seeing something you really like on eBay, watching it but then forgetting to put a bid on. And then you realise too late and it didn't sell or only sold for 50p or something and you feel all d'oh!!

Forgetting you stripped the bed but didn't put clean bed linen on until you're going to bed and are zonked

not making a big deal of your birthday (cos you're in your thirtyteens now) and friends forgetting... pretend you don't mind but really you feel Sad

when something you love gets discontinued in the supermarket

watching all of a series on iplayer with your daughter over three days then sitting down on the fourth to watch the final and they have taken all of then off iplayer....noooo! bugger!

hold up stockings that don't hold up!
