minor things that make you fume

[summerisle]

The insidious insertion of 'guys' into general discourse really grinds my gears : e.g. "See you guys later". To punish the lazy, grammatically incorrect apeths, I heartily recommend that stocks should be brought back, and, with particularly egregious behaviour, the ducking stool.

When news and politicians talk about misinformation, disinformation, alternative facts etc.

Just call it by it's proper name. Lies. They are called lies.

The cutters on cling film are bloody useless, they couldn't cut a snowflake.

The paper straws that have replaced plastic ones and fall apart when you use them.. Someone needs to invent a straw that lasts more than 2 minutes and less than a thousand years.

Given the amount of time cling film has been produced you would have thought they would have come up with a way to get it off the roll by now

What really galls me is that on packaging it was extolling how easy it was to cut. It was a downright lie.

I'm all for protecting the environment and all, but good lord I cannot stand those stupid paper straws. Awful. Makes me want to torch the rainforest so they can't use anymore wood to make them.

We have these metal ones in the house. Can’t remember the last time I would have sat in a fast food place

Also you can drink without the straw you know

if you screw up your cling film use, you run out sooner and have to buy more. engineered redundancy. kerching.

People who take Brompton bicycles on the train but refuse to fold them (or only do it when on the train.
Walking up and down the platform stairs swinging the bloody things around, because they’re actually too heavy for them, generally getting in everyone’s way.
Then, if they cba, folding them away in the middle of the aisle when people want to move through the carriage.
Even worse this morning as they're all out in their wet weather gear, splashing everyone as they take it off to put it on the over head storage to drip / pool water on those sat below.
Gang of whoppers.

Weather forecast said lovely sunny day today. Fine I said, I'll wash the bedding. Cue a downpour this morning. Do the washing this afternoon, come to hang it on the line, drop the laundry basket, mud and grass stains everywhere. Cry a little inside. There's always tomorrow.

Bits of toast in the butter. That's a paddlin'

Sleeplessness. Wanted asleep 3 hours ago.

Weather forecast said rainy day today. Fine I said, I'll skip watering the plants today. Cue another day in the oven. Go to water the plants this afternoon, unravel the hose, trip myself on it...dust everywhere, turned into a human pincushion by cactus spines with the dog wagging it's tail licking my face. Cry a little inside. There's always tomorrow.

Me one day this past autumn (autumn, wass'at?)....trade?
