My car seat has developed a squeak. Every little bump (and round here the roads are shocking), sets off a "squeak-squeak-squeak" Driving me mad


My husband is the most unobservant person I've ever known. For instance, when we first moved into our house, the hall/stairs/landing were painted a horrible colour - probably called something like Old Gold, but it looked like an explosion in a mustard factory. There were other more pressing jobs, so we lived with it for a while, until I finally could stand it no longer. On my day off, I nipped out to B&Q, bought a load of magnolia paint and repainted the lot. When my husband came in from work, he sauntered off upstairs, had a shower, came back down - and didn't even notice! Not an isolated incident - unless it walks up & pokes him in the eye, he won't notice it.


Trying to peel the lid off packs of bacon/ham etc. It never peels off as it should - all I ever get is the little corner piece.

People that use the word "overpowered" as a synonym for "too powerful" and even casually abbreviate it to "OP" Both annoying and confusing. I see this a lot in discussion of Game of Thrones: "Character X was so OP" (meaning the character won, not lost, a fight)

People putting their maiden names on Facebook as eg "Jane Bloggs Was Doe". I also find this confusing especially as there is already a box for you to put a previous maiden name

That welsh voice over woman on channel 4

Rylan Clarkes teeth.

The miss-use of the word literally...grrrrr

I replied to these two points earlier, but DS seems to have lost it. Has this thread been merged recently?


How am I supposed to know If someone is nervous. I very much doubt a nervous driver would decide to slam their brakes on.


If you're asking how many times I've rear ended someone it's 0.

Older drivers doing 10 mph under the speed limit when there is no reason to - give older drivers a bad name.

Isn't that so they'll show up in a search when people only know their maiden name and don't know they're now married? I'm only guessing, I don't know.

I swear my upstairs neighbours forgot I actually live here.

It is, I just find it confusing for some inexplicable reason. There is a box for you to put your maiden name - "Jane Bloggs (Doe)" as it would show up if you used the box registers in my brain whereas "Jane Bloggs Was Doe" makes me ... I'm an idiot

Can I count my ability to procrastinate?

I was going to the pub 2 hours ago and I've still got no further than finding my DM's and putting a book in my bag. Oh, and a cheeky beer while I did that!

All kinds of paper towel/loo paper dispensers. Never come across one that's actually worked smoothly. Those paper towel ones where you either get half a sheet or a dump of 40.
And loo paper where you get a couple of sheets but then the next sheet is stuck within the machine and you have to go searching for the edge like with sticky tape.

Rylan's teeth are fantastic.

The new Peugeot 308's badging annoys me.

They've put the '308' moniker on the Left hand side, instead of the Right where previous Peugeots have their model number & it looks wrong!

The model moniker should be on the Right & the word Peugeot should be on the Left!

Friends who can't ever be happy for you. They've always got to do it bigger and better than you. Also probably why I can't stand Facebook as it's like a game of one-up-manship.

Also friends who are lucky (or jammy gits), and act ungrateful. I don't even have a quarter of what they have so they should quit whining.

I told a acquaintance I was going to Tenerife , so she said she was going to Elevenerife

The bigger better thing in general annoys me, If i say i am tired because i worked twelve hours they worked 15, If you have a headache their head had to be surgically re-attached and they were fine 5 minutes later

Defiantly, I used to work 12 hour shifts (3 days on 3 days off) so it meant being up at 4.30 am and not home until almost 7 pm and that's before you get to eat in the evening and a 'friend' could always beat me with the hours she'd been awake. If I did the hours stated she would have done another 2 more waiting for a beer delivery or an alarm call out... I know alarm call outs happen when you're a key holder but to listen to her talk it was every night for at least 3 hours!

People who tell you their grandchildren are the second coming of Christ, what a gift to the world they are !

There's no luck involved bbclassics, it's a natural thing that's part of me and communicates itself to those who are receptive, and lots are. It's more of a burden really.

People who use child locks in the car when there are no children present. It makes me very anxious - especially if I don't know them well. I accept that sometimes it's out of habit but otherwise: why do you want someone to be unable to leave your car?

My car automatically locks all doors as soon as I start driving so if I'm driving somebody I don't know or on a first date I do casually mention the automatic lock and ask if they would like me to turn it off. I also point out the front passenger door automatically unlocks as soon as you open it.

A burden to have people (you like) fancy you? If you don't want that quality pass it on to me! Tho there is no one worth fancying around here.

In Aldi and went to pay for a carton of OJ. There was a fat dude infront with a shed load on the conveyor and no other tils open. So I stated to anticipate another one opening while the Q got bigger behind me. Sure enough, the checkout operator comes out from his break and I politely ask everyone if its ok to go infront and pay for my ONE item. The daggers I got....Its what makes me despise this country sometimes

Roundabouts wth traffic lights. You can guarantee i stop on red and the whole roundabout is clear....so annoyingi
