minor things that make you fume

It annoys me so much that she was doing walrus things in her walrus habitat but ended up being killed.

I absolutely hate receiving gifts that I can't eat or drink. I'm 56 ffs and can buy what I need. Gifts are inevitably what I don't need and don't want and therefore haven't already bought.

The father in law has just given us an egg cooker. Now, instead of me dropping an egg into a pan of boiling water and scooping out a lovely poached egg a minute or so later, now there's an instruction book, measuring devices, 9 steps and a 10 minute cooking time. This is NOT an improvement, its a waste of earth's resources and now my shelf space.

But I have to feign gratitude so I'm told.

It seemed an extreme measure tbh but has been pictures of crowds of people going right up to it despite warning. Makes me fume how people think they have a right to get as close to wild animals as possible. Have seen this a lot recently and people inevitably getting hurt or putting the animals at risk all for an Instagram moment.
Get a set of binoculars. You can still have an experience without having to show it off to the internet.

There's a (possibly apocryphal) tale Bill Bryson tells in one of his books about how unafraid some bears are of humans these days. Supposedly a mother smeared honey on her toddler's hands so she could take a picture of a bear licking it off. The bear misunderstood the photo op and ate the child's hand.

It's like these new air fryers. Wife's sister is raving about hers and intends to get us one as a present. We don't need another appliance in the kitchen. Everything is fine. This thing will just disrupt a perfectly happy working routine. I'm actually surprised at how annoyed I am about this.

I bought one a few weeks back. I like it!

It replaced another gift we were given which was thought to be an air fryer but was actually a halogen oven. ?

Wasn't that so people would take pictures and post it on social media as a marketing strategy or something?

Air fryers are great though. We all like routine but sometimes progress is actually...legitimate progress.

Steam Mops can do one though.

They're rather good, and surprisingly versatile...

Doing the most unusual thing a brit can do.
Complain about food.
So ordered a breakfast which looked lovely.
Cut into the sausage, cold in the middle.
So I just left it,the sausage .
The rest was good.
So paid my bill.
Even give the waitress a tip.
Then said "btw the sausage was cold in the middle ".
She looked at me as though I had six heads.
Never even thanked me for the tip.

I'm a big air fryer convert. We've got one of the large dual versions, which means you can cook more than one item at a time.

For meat and fish and vegetables, it's fantastic in terms of cooking time, taste and reducing the fat compared to frying or cooking in the oven.

They are particularly good for cooking sausages.
