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?

Being gifted a chocolate selection box to find DH has been there first, you know this because he will take a bite of a chocolate and if he doesn't like it will carefully replace it, so half the chocs and been chewed and nibbled.

Burnt lattes

What you order and what you get.

Finding a delicious salad which you buy far too often regularly for lunch, then one day discovering that they've replaced the lovely cubes of feta with horrible shreds of beetroot, which you hate. And taken away the slice of flatbread to scoop up the houmous. And replaced the couscous with bloody quinoa.

Yes, I do mean you, Pret a Manger

Mobile Broadband with the not so magic number T-H-R-E-E

Not having enough butter left to enjoy buttery toast on your morning off

Been woken up by the neighbours dog barking on our one morning off in two weeks

Gathering all your grocery shopping, queing up for ages to pay for them and when you're one away from being served, you realise you forgot to pick up the milk

Sweets oh yep forgetting the milk :(
I often go into a supermarket for one specific thing, and come out with everything else but and then realize when I get home…. usually something totally essential like toilet roll that you will have to get at overinflated prices at the corner shop (sulk)

having so many people mentioning the stripped-bed-at-bedtime crisis, is this the point where I can confess to sleeping under a naked duvet because after sleepily doing the sheet, I just couldn't be bothered to put the cover on?!

oh and another…

phone batteries that die all the biddy time. Have had to start carrying a charger round now and I'm forever looking for sockets :/

Springtime. Autumn. The other bits.

I agree that autumn can be a bit disappointing in England Sarah with leaves slightly going from green to brown and miserable rainy and gloomy weather - nice on the occasional sunny day though when you catch a few orange and red's against a blue sky. Or just kicking through the leaves in the woods with children and coming home for hot chocolate afterwards

Much better colours though in Japan and South Korea, where I experienced one gorgeous autumn with red maples and glowing mountain ash up in the hills.
And I've heard the fall colours are much praised in New England too.

And I won't hear a word said against spring especially in April when all the glorious blossom is out

Rediscovering Kendal Mint Cake only to find out it tastes like crystallised toothpaste.
I'm sure it didn't 30 years ago.

Oh no Voodoo that's really disappointing. It got me up Scafell Pike when I was about 12.

Using the bathroom at someone's house and they haven't made it clear which is the hand-towel. You make your best guess but no doubt you've just dried your hands on the same towel they used to dry their arse earlier that day.

Treating yourself to an overpriced starbucks coffee only for them to make it wrong/not well!
Buying a much long for new nail varnish only to find it chips the same day
Putting on weight for absolutely no reason. If thats going to happen at least warn me so i get a chance to stuff myself with roast potatos and galaxy! Weight gain from broccoli? Fuck you metabolism...just fuck you...

Bagofbats When he takes his trousers off, there lies one of life's little disappointments

Nick Glegg and Gove (although he's as ugly as his soul undoubtedly is).

When dc1 stopped napping.

The ring pull coming off the can so you have so resort to the can opener...

I've had too many overpriced and disappointing flat whites recently. £2.70, one of them . Wouldn't really mind if it had been good, but it was insipid, not hot enough and not velvety enough.

I'm going back to lattes. >

The length of the cable of Apple product chargers. Always just that bit too short...

You are not wrong puny. and they last about 6 months if that.

True.

On another note, making a Bolognese (or other make it in your sleep dinner) and discovering that some fool has put the empty basil jar back in the cupboard.

To add to that, testing the spaghetti, burning your mouth and therefore ruining for yourself the dinner you've just spent an hour making.

Fucksticks.

Getting to gym really in the mood for it for a change only to discover it's

a/ heaving

or

b/ the WiFi connection is down I can't access my 'Cloud' playlist

Had both happen the other day and have to admit I gave up and went home after 20 minutes .

Woolley apples.

Rank.

Sweet lemon curd
A non chewy meringue

Agreed with previous poster, flat tonic is a GREAT disappointment!
