Irrational things that annoy you (and non irrational things too come to think of it)

Serious post time....


When an auto complete form on a website doesn't work when I've put in my postcode and doesn't find my details, and then, when I try to enter it manually, it doesn't "find" or accept it.

No you're right - but it's an irrational hate for them that I have

That is alright, I think most people have that!
It is funny going into people's houses when they moan about the **** service if it breaks and takes a few days to get an engineer out to fix it. I then proceed to ask them when it was last faulty. It is normally over 40 years without a problem or not one since they have lived there. Soon shuts them up

One thing that winds me up. Customers who moan about having to get their telephone line fixed if it is damaged inside their house. If you would paint over the cable over and over, you really don't expect it to damage and crack the cable. Would you expect a plumber to fix your sink for free, or the electrician to fix a socket for free. I don't think so!!

Same problem All The Time. Incredibly frustrating.

Food going out of date.

I throw away so much food because of this.

Buy less

We used to waste quite a bit of food until we started planning our meals on a weekly basis. If you only buy what you know you're going to eat it makes a huge difference.

Smell it.

Taste a little bit.

If it smells/tastes OK, don't throw it away, eat it.

I hardly buy anything!!! But I had a bunch of internetz people stay over at the weekend and had to buy some sort of nourishment!

But buying one carrot, one sprig of brocolli is bit extreme?!

Also plans change... so if I plan to stay in and cook in the week... I might go out instead = wastage.

Happens to me - but I just end up freezing a lot of meats, and any veg that is a bit limp I blitz into a soup. I have to agree though - I hate throwing food away.
