In whinge mode

Another loo roll one. But all to do with the quality. Have bought Waitrose Essential for years and years. Suddenky thry have changed it...but still in the same packaging and called the same. Fewer and smaller sheets and it disintegrates in use. Rubbish and now I have a pack of 16 not fit for purpose. I have posted a complaining review as have 100s of other people. Waitrose haven't responded.

I've just been to the public loo and as I was washing my hands a woman came out of the next cubicle, I politely said ''morning1'' and she literally pulled the sort of face as if I smell of rotting flesh then she walked out! Weirdo!

I am surprised we dont have more things to moan about, to be honest.

My grump is idiots who try to fat shame me. ''You shouldn't have that mug of hot choc with all the trimmings, and a Full English Breakfast, you're a big girl''.

And the ''You should be wearing a nice flowery dress, not the boring black trousers'' .

For starters, I NEVER wear dresses/skirts, only trousers/leggings but if I did I wouldn't wear anything ''flowery'', I don't want to look like a mobile garden!

And mind your own bloody business with everything else too!

I've actually told people that to their smug faces!

I had a similar experience Spuddy on the train the other day. The window above where I was sitting was already open.

Two women got on and settled in the seat opposite and they started to mutter, then one got up, came to my seat, leaned over me and shut the window. I said, rather feebly, "It was open when I got on". The two women looked at other and one shook her head pityingly, neither replied.

They could have asked...I would have been tempted to open it again.

Sorry, replying to your previous post Spuddy about the woman in the loo.

FLIES! Those annoying bastards, some huge and buzzing like Harrier Jump Jets, that literally poke my face, get into my hair and dive bomb our cat's food dish!

It costs me £4.99 for each tin of Raid but I don't care! Got 2 tins here at work and 2 at home where I take pride in stalking the sadistic little turds!

Couples, usually retired, who shop together with one trolley each, who then stand in front of the shelves with trollies to their right and left while they earnestly discuss the respective merits of a tin of beans, thus effectively blocking any access to any shelf of any height or width in that section.

We are finding there is no spray that works any more.
We have tried some homemade things too.

Resorted to a zapp thing.
Thankfully we have not had many flies this summer.
Not sure a zapper is that much use with lots of flies.

Tried opening windows. But not sure that more come in than go out.

And they bite more often than I remember them doing. in the past.

Gigantic cars. Honestly they are getting bigger. Tbh I don’t know why car owners don’t just drive a chieftain tank. They take up too much space in a car park and are environmentally unfriendly.

Not everyone can fit in small cars my DH has just brought an F pace and it is big but so is he at 6'4 built like a rugby scrum half with lymphadema in his legs to boot a little car would be useless. Also it's great for holidays a massive boot space.

Better put my hard hat on as I want to moan at those who moan at my big car. I need all that space - would you prefer I pulled a trailer? That would take up two parking places and make overtaking difficult. It also means we can manage with just one car between us. 🪖👷‍♀️

My OH would love a chieftain tank 🔫 (there used to be gun emojis)

Every time I open a packet of pills it is ALWAYS the wrong end ie the end where the information sheet is so you can't get the pills out.

Just love all of these 🤣🤣🤣

My tin hat is firmly on regarding big cars! 🪖🪖🪖

One of our cars is a very big 4 x 4, DH will keep it until it dies

I am 5’2” I can park it anywhere with ease and expertise unlike some who have trouble parking a mini within the lines in a car park therefore taking up two spaces 😡

Estate agents.
Sorry but being in the process of selling our house and buying a bungalow I have to say that estate agents can be pretty annoying.
I mean how is it possible to take photos of a house that make it look three times bigger and really classy then when you get there is the size of a shed and shabby and neglected.
Also the terms they use ‘vendor suited’, sounds like the seller is sartorially formal.

That is beyond rude!! I put on loads of weight both post pregnancies (4) and post medication, then again last year from meds.

People simply need to keep their own mouths shut!!!!

We now dont often drive a big car. Dont need to. But your hair would stand on end at what we sometimes used to need to carry around in it!

On other occasions in the past we tried a trailer.
Reversing it in narrow country lanes was, um, interesting!

I do sometimes think that some older parking spaces were not designed for the bigger cars of nowadays.
You can tell which spaces have been in existence for a long time and havent been altered!

I presume car park owners have no interest in altering them, as they would then be unable to fit in as many cars. Less revenue.

Yes........these plus the supermarket order pickers who charge around like demented ants pushing their trolleys totally regardless of all others. AND to add insult to injury they often stand in groups of three or four gossiping and blocking the aisles completely. SO RUDE!

They are probably the same couples who both attend the GP surgery, dentist or an outpatient appointment even though only one of them is being seen. As these places seem to have limited seating post Covid, I have often had to stand and wait for my appointment, while couples, not always elderly, sit next to each other. I know it is important to have someone with you sometimes but surely not all the time.

Litterbugs!! Selfish, shallow, spoiled, self-centred, thoughtless idiots.

Totally.
We live opposite a lovely park and during the summer many people have enjoyed picnicking there in the nice weather, but when they leave some leave all their litter behind, including used nappies.
My DH and I volunteer with a local group to pick up litter in our area but we really shouldn’t be needed, people should be brought up to pick up their rubbish and if there isn’t a bin handy - though there are many in the park - they should bag it up and take it home.

Female toilet roll fairy present and correct.
The male version leaves the cardboard bit on the ledge *behind *the toilet.
Too much packaging.?? I should coco. I thought we were all supposed to be going greener so less packaging ?? What happened there ?
Motorists beeping at me on my bike here in France . One very short one-way street that I use has no overtaking space because of parked cars so I have to go down the middle. I swear it's no more than 45 seconds to reach the end yet still they beep and I nearly fall of my bike. You can't wait 45 seconds????? Grrrrrr
