Well, there's always that old chestnut: Where does that teaspoon at the bottom of the washing-up bowl come from?

You can also buy 'sticky stuff remover', it works a treat! I get irritated by people dropping litter. DH stacking the dishwasher. DH missing the waste basket. People who can't park! etc etc

Luckygirl you need these sponges. We use a very similar product at work. It removed ancient glue from a door where a notice had been stuck up with sellotape. They are good on all surfaces.

When you think you have picked up a 3 for 2 items( usually food) from somewhere like M&S and you get to the checkout and discover that one of them is not part of the deal, even though all three were in the same section.

When you buy "still fresh" packs from the supermarket and they stick the label over the cooking instructions! ?

The "ripen at home" fruit which never ripens, but sits in the bowl brick hard, then overnight turns wrinkly and only fit for birds.

Those b****y price stickers that will not come off - I had a beautiful wooden cheese board given to me many years ago and the glue from the sticker has never come off - I have tried everything! It is the same with plastic items like washing up bowls. Grrr.

It's the little things I am talking about. The things for which there seems to be absolutely no reason. The things that irritate you. The things you don't understand. For example I don't understand why when I buy a pack of 2 bras which are supposed to be the same size and just a different colour, one of them fits really well and the other doesn't.
Any more irritants?
