General discussion

A survey on what you consider a minor annoyance....one of mine happened today.

While starting a new roll of toilet paper, the end was stuck and the end result was tiny bits of the paper everywhere, but the worst place for it to happen is in a public washroom, lol. Has this ever happened to you?

Very common...most public rest rooms use cheap paper unless you are in a Casino.

Wife bought two cases of TP recently very, very cheap. It was a real bargin she thought as it was a popular brand "Charmin".

Well, that "Charmin" must be some rejects they offered cheap as it does stick at the end when new and more often unsticks into two layers. Happy

The not so cheap Charmin with Aloe does the same, lol -NT

Oooh - there are so many!

Thinking that I have completely
"snapped" both sides of a freezer bag top, but when I press on it, air comes out. There is always one tiny place...

Being able to open a box of cereal without sestroying the tab that (supposedly) fits into the slot to reclose it.

Removing all of the safety seals from any kind of bottle. Some stuff always sticks to the sides of the rim, and it takes forever to pick it all off.

Being out of the right size batteries.

Being out of the right size light bulbs.

Being out of stamps except for a couple of old ones. The letter has to go out, so I've spent 64 cents to mail one stinkin' letter.

A sticking keyboard shelf so only half comes out far enough.

Clothes that shrink while hanging in the closet. Happy

I could go on... and om...

Clothes that shrink while being washed. Happy

Websites that use browser specific features instead of common standards.

People that have never heard of Google. I was helping my neighbor with a problem last weekend and her (adult) son mentioned "that Google thing looks pretty useful" after watching me run my 5th search...

People that drive in the passing lane...

People who stop at the end of the on ramp and look over their shoulder for a break to enter freeway traffic in...

People that contiously pass you, pull in front of you and then slow down rendering your cruise control useless...

People that speed up and slow down with you so as to stay in your blind spot...

People that congregate in the middle of the aisle at the store to converse...

People that can't count and cut you off with 30+ items in the 15 items or less aisle at the store...

People that get in the self checkout lane that need someone from the store to check out all their stuff cause they're to stupid to use the machine...

People that cheat by parking in the handicapped or pregnant mother's space when they have neither with them...

People that stop at blinking yellow lights...

People that drive thru blinking red lights...

Users that call for help before they've tried rebooting...

and the list goes on and on and on.....
