minor things that make you fume

My daughter can’t even change a toilet roll and she’s 21. I don’t think she even knows where the kettle is as she always asks me. I suppose I should say no, but, she knows that her Dad is a big softy.

Clever girl , a classic case of "Act daft and I'll buy you a coal yard "

The fact that my eldest daughter can't make a suitable cup of tea. They're like drinking warm water with a gallon of milk and a sniff of a tea bag.

As me arl granny used to say - water bewitched and tea begrudged

Yes, me too. 10 years no claims, driving restricted to 5,000 miles pa. = £70 increase. The fact that the car has barely moved since lock-down hasn't triggered a discount ( even though some insurers have done this) Thanks for nothing Aviva.

The new printers will only use branded ink going forward.
No more cheap cartridges.

Absolutely shocking the price of ink.

For the pain that they cause you, you might as well not bother and just use a library. Which I would do now if they weren't shut.

Loads of noob cyclists about riding in pairs on country roads oblivious to me being behind them. Don’t particularly want to get close and feeling like a [Poor language removed] for beeping my horn. Incredible stuff

people who go running on country roads with their airpods in and don't realise there is a car going very slowly behind them as they have strayed into the mid section of the road.

I had a very early bubble jet and it was cheap as chips to run. Then one day some marketing berk had the idea of loss leading people with the machine and stinging them on the consumables. The exact opposite of how I like to work.

It's a licence to print money - an utter rip-off- the modern day double glazing scam. Years back for photos I spent extra cash on a printer that recycled the ink they otherwise waste in their regular head cleaning routine. I only really used it for the odd photo and had used hardly any ink. Then I went to use it after a year and the printer told me "your ink is out of date please replace" and refused to work.

Oh really, thought i. I took the thing apart and found a tiny button cell that kept its memory of the date alive, and hey presto it worked. Same ink was working 2 years later.

Have stopped playing that daft game now. I have a laser for b&w print and in the odd chance I ever want to print a photo I'll go off to boots with a memory card. Mug's game is printers.
