I love this thread!
Here’s a few of mine:
- Badly elasticated tights that start falling down the minute you get to work.
- Liver & bacon dinner, why, just why???
- Flys!
- Uneven pavements
- Self checkouts, need a separate thread for this!
- ‘Shrinkflation’ paying more for items that have gotten smaller
- People who don’t use headphones and loudly play their phone music, tv shows or games on public transport

yes this. Agreed. Not using headphones went out of style in the 80s. 
This is so rude and disrespectful to the surrounding people, imho.

People do this in the lunchroom at my work. I hate it, too. Can’t have a quiet lunch.

Lets take this one step further, people who blast music from bike speakers on a bike trail. I shouldn’t have to hear your bad 90s rock assaulting my eardrums while I’m out in nature. FRO.

The rain here. It’s not only raining no, it’s windy at the same time. So I fought my way to the train this morning trying to stay dry (at least my head) and not fly away or kill my umbrella.
Now I’m on the train, wet clothes, I’m sweating and the air is humid

So, I recently bought a shiny pair of new thermo tights to get me through the cold season. I am short sighted, and in the morning when I get dressed I usually do not wear my glasses. I put on my new pair of super warm thermo tights and a pair of pants on top.
Man did I curse these tights. They just keep sliding down all the time. I kept pulling them up all day.
When I was undressing in the evening my husband asked me why I would wear my tights inside out… Yeah, the shiny side is NOT supposed to go on the inside I guess…

I’m with you on this one, do they think we’re dumb and don’t notice?
- Liver & bacon dinner, why, just why???
But now I have to block you, sorry! 
. It’s my requested meal every birthday.

Hmm yes!! The self checkout is ok for 1 or 2 items, but for a full basket or with some supermarkets pushing to get you to go through with a full trolley, I really think they’re a curse and can FRO… Here’s a few reasons, I’m not a technophobe, but damn these…
- That used to be someone’s job
- It’s slow and clunky, although that could be a ‘me’ problem
- The announcement of:
- “Unexpected item in the bagging area”
- “Please put your item in the bagging area”
All because the sensor isn’t working correctly and then proceeds to freeze all operation, until a staff member comes to the rescue and check you haven’t stolen anything and then let’s you resume.
- The bagging area is miniscule… not fit for purpose
- People behind the checkout are infinitely faster at this, stop trying to cut costs and give them their jobs back!
Phew! I think that’s all

Right?! It’s crazy out there, my shopping bills have gone through the roof!
Sorry about the ol’ liver and bacon, you must have had a better version than me!
I guess my Mum’s overcooked leather 70’s version has scarred me for life…

Oh geez yes, mozzies are the worst!
They can ‘do one’ for the rest of the year too! Especially when they taunt you with a fly-past, right by your ears at 3am, then you have to get up to ‘seek and destroy’.

This is so true! I like that short chat I can have with the cashier. Not every time, but often. And it’s nice to share a smile
I had some annoying experiences at the self checkout. I wasn’t done yet and people already try to push me aside because they want to start scanning.

Or if you want a bag they are inconveniently placed a few feet away from the checkstand.
