Minor things that confuse you in daily life

Fitting lights.

Wtf. Help.

Fitting lights.

I put that off for over a year in my current place. Had plug in lights and lamps everywhere. Doesn't help that where I live, when you move in, you literally have the wires poking out of a hole in the ceiling and need to figure it out yourself.

Where's @Astonian when you need him

 

[Alan Whittle]

Them "Alexa " thingies;
"Alexa, get us some chips"
"Alexa, wipe my bum"
"Alexa, get Gemma Arterton to pop round later"

Complete waste of money.

People who drink coffee in this heat.

Warrington.

The town planners were clearly dredged up out of the local lunatic asylum.

my SkyQ is a minefield, wish we'd never changed

Why, when you're in a queue at traffic lights and they go green, and everybody in the queue can see them go green - why doesn't everybody start moving at the same time? I'm in gear, foot on the clutch, hand on the handbrake as soon as I see amber.

Why do I have to wait for everybody to be shocked to see the car in front move off before they realise? Just why is there an interminable delay? Why?

Oh, and why am I always the one just far back enough to be caught by the next red?

Oh, Swindon how I hate thee. From hell's heart I stab at thee, with my last breath I spit at thee.

Why people who own dogs carry them to open the door.

Why people with a working doorbell and a dog never go out.

Why people look confused when I ask them their name or house number.

Why people giggle when they sign said name on a scanner thing.

And how any parcels actually get delivered, ever.

People who say "I've been waiting for this." as you're delivering something.

Of course you've been waiting for it, that's how it works. Order and then wait for it to be delivered. It doesn't arrive before you order it.

Why don’t people indicate when they’re turning?

Why don't people indicate before they turn? As in indicate their intention to turn.

Can’t agree there mate, once you get used to it it’s good.

It's easy, but if you don't think you can do it call in an electrician who will do the job for you, with the added bonus that you won't wake up one night in the midst of a blazing inferno.

Because most intelligent drivers like to leave a reasonable space between their own front bumper and the rear bumper of the vehicle in front, hence each vehicle waits until there is said space between them and the vehicle ahead of them before starting to move.

You're talking about the lights at Lane Ends Penketh here aren't you? Bastards get you every time!

You let a car out in front of you,, they say thanks the next opportunity they can let a car out they ignore them even though the traffic isn’t going anywhere

Ikea furniture

Even their picture frames have instructions

‘Koff with your robbed meatballs you flat pack melts

Agreed. Takes a bit of getting used to but it’s a thing of beauty.
