    Radiators - either I'm too hot cos I've put it too high, or I'm freezing cos I've put it too low. Been 7 darn years and still to find the ideal level, darn it. :grrrr:

    Or people that flush the toilet without first closing the lid. How unhygienic?!

    People who close the lid after using the toilet.

    Why? It makes it worse.

    Race obsessed articles, such as the one above, which frequently appear in the Guardian and seem more applicable to the US. Clickbait which generate hundreds of comments.

    There was one a few weeks ago with a black guy complaining he couldn't play anyone but Lando when re-enacting Star Wars as a kid.

    Jesus wept.

    People who get well known people's names wrong.

    Calling Stephen Hawking "Hawkings" is a prime example.

    Because the godawful smell's been trapped underneath the lid.

    Spelling Christopher Eccleston as 'Ecclestone' proper winds me up! :kitty:

    This is the kind of thing that you've just gotta push from your mind or youll go crazy! Think of everything you come into contact with when you go for a walk or anything! :o

    I started to close the lid after reading leaving it up can lead to illness. I'm a germaphobe too.

    I guess if you think of the particles flying through the air... maybe you need a proper seal around the lid too? :o

    Yeah. My favourite miss-pronunciation is Cliff Richards. I physically squirm when I hear it and my respect for the speaker drops to the lowest of my estimations.

    I grew up in the forties and fifties and we were lucky to have an indoor loo and it certainly didn't have a lid. I was never taught lid etiquette and even now don't remember always to close it. After all there are many public places which have lidless lavatories and no-one seems to worry about it! :o

    WHY are the cooking instructions for meat on the inside of the wrapper? I want to cook my Sunday dinner ready for 6pm so I don't want to open my beef now but would like to know how long it's going to take so I know when to start getting ready! I know you can find out online how long to cook it per kg but it would be so much easier if it told you on the outside of the flaming wrapper!

    How depressing. Almost as depressing as the linked article from the Grauniad.
    I've never heard of the article's author, but wow, what a sad (and rather pretentious) pseud.

    P.S. Anyone of voting age who uses the word 'random' to mean anything other than 'random', should be locked up. >:(

    Those who walk around carrying their phone in their hand, as if their bag or pocket - and most people I've seen doing this have at least one of those - isn't good enough.

    It always winds me up when people add an extra E to the person in my location. (Also, because of how many people add an S to his name, I thought his name actually was Stephen Hawkings.)

    (And no doubt somebody's going to do it.)

    Someone told me learning Spanish was appropriating their language, and that eating rice was stealing from Japanese culture.

    I'm not kidding. There's so much of this on tumblr.

    Are you talking about a cling film type of wrapper? If so, you're supposed to take that off the meat right away, not just before you cook it. :)
