Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

[Electric_Andy]

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 got fed up with this at my old house, so much so that I bought a manual reel mower. It did the job but is hard to get into corners without the forward momentum. So I used a strimmer, with a cord, which presented a similar issue! But at least you don't have to drag it over the whole lawn and can just do one side/corner at once. I still wouldn't pay out for a battery one though, and for a small patch I don't think a petrol one is worth it

Nothing worse than a perforation that won't perforate.

TBH I found radiotherapy quite grim

I just run the cable over my shoulder, so it trails behind me

It took me over an hour to think of something worse than misbehaving teabags, but in the end I remembered one or two things!


PS Mind you, accidentally ripping open teabags is pretty irritating...

I've just had a fight with an ice-cube bag whose perforations weren't exactly compliant - at a time and temperature sensitive point of a culinary process I'm not all that familiar with.

I've revised the relative weightings of non-perforated perforations and radiotherapy

Surface dressing!

Esp on roads which don't really need it.

Why not fill the potholes first?!

I discovered that when I was really ill 14 years ago. I was pretty horrified to discovered that I barely had the strength to take the top off a bottle of milk!

Bet you could crush a grape though!

It's worse when they do that on the front seat of the Copenhagen Metro, when they should be concentrating on driving the bloody train. Are they trying to kill us all?!

Doesn't Waterman have something to do with model trains?

Yep, released do the loco-motion with Kylie

Only if I fell on it!

Even then, you might bounce off and break your arm.

Cheaper just to hide them

Someone commented they had been a local road that had been shut for sometime and how the new surface was so smooth. Went down it last Sunday to find it had been surfaced dressed and it was now a gravel track. Managed to get an impact puncture.
Go the other way on this road and it is a gravel track due to the state of it. WTF they didn’t do this bit of road.
