Photo of pair of t bags. If held up to the light can see dotted line which are perforations but must be defective.
If you zoom in you can see dotted line but when try and tear apart the bag splits instead. Consistently!

A whole box of defective tea bags!!!

In the UK

I think this requires the attention of MI5 and the relevant SAS group need to be alerted!!!!

Nothing worse than a perforation that won't perforate.

People who laugh like a gutter at something on social media....and then thrust it in your face to make you look and presumably agree ?
Except I nearly always don't.

Nothing wrong with finding something funny, I do all the time...but thats a personal thing.

What's slightly more irritating is the fact they never seem to pick up on your (at best neutral) response.

I can instantly recognise if I haven't hit the spot (in anything in life)..it happens, its natural, read it, read the person, dont do it again.

But no, it will happen again...and again....

Yup
I have seen people who seem to take offence if you do not laugh at the same things as them

and SEEM to laugh at all sorts to keep the "atmosphere" light and happy
when i fact they are exerting a lot of pressure of people around them to follow their lead

SOme of them remind me of the Blackadder series set when Queen Elizabeth 1 was on the throne

and I see them saying "Who's Queen!!!)

I have experienced the opposite from time to time...

On one occasion back in the 1970s I was watching an episode of Fawlty Towers. I was howling with laughter. A relative was staying with us that week and she came in to find out what I was laughing at. When she saw Basil doing his thing with Manuel she got quite indignant and insisted that I should not be laughing because the show really was NOT funny!!!

struggling to get new bib shorts , last 2 pairs i ordered i had to send back as although the waist fits i have pretty big thighs so they are too tight around the leg .
The ones i have now that were perfect they changed the design and they are so tight around the legs i couldn’t comfortably get leg warmers underneath if i wanted circulation in the legs .

they changed the design and they are so tight around the legs

you know there's another way that can happen, right?

It isn't just a comfort issue - my near fatal blood clots in 2012 were caused by over-tight clothing tourniqueting my left leg!!

I nearly had it happen with over-tight cycling kit too...

I was still fat in those days and was wearing kit way too small for me which was cutting the blood supply off to my legs. A combination of that and the cold created agonising pain in my right leg on the ride back to Stockport. It was like being stabbed in the leg with a large, blunt knife. I nearly fell off my bike in front of a van at some traffic lights due to the pain, and my involuntary screams were scaring pedestrians as well as myself!

I 'll tell you what annoys me,the cable from our lawnmower,it is trying to kill me,by tripping me up,it wraps itself around my legs,then when it can't trip me up,it catches the wooden border of the raised bed,it's alive i tell you it hates me.

I have a system where I take the cable round a table that is in the middle of the width pof the lawn - but 4 yards in front of it

after that it is OK

The front is another matter and it tried to construct a whole new complex know around the central bushes which can only be undone by unplugging the whole thing and threading the plug through a series of holes in the structure
some of which are sometimes in another dimernsion!

its definelty a design change , listed as the right size as my trousers all still fit and i compared width of the legs of the shorts and its a good couple of inches smaller around the leg gripper compared to the old version .Even allowing for spread they havent stretched that much .

Trivial things that annoy me...errr me sometimes
In that i cant blame anyone else...
Kids are at mums tonight so I have an excellent opportunity to finish the last bit of decorating.
Yebbut, I need to go shopping, I NEED to get that bloody dishwasher waste sorted once and for all. (Angry at myself for putting it off all the time)
So combine the two, shopping, then onto Wickes to get the bits i 'thought' i needed.
Oh no, too simple, I start the waste, bugger I need an elbow not a tee. Root around in my cupboard, find one. Pipe sorted ok.
Fit the washer waste extension pipe...aghh, its too loose on the trap spigot...off to Screwfix to get some hose clips.
Sorted...
It's now 1.30...and i havnt even started the bit of glossing I was originally determined to do today

Poor planning etc etc....
