Post a small grumble, the likes of which you would consider too small to make a thread on its own.

Apart from being big-headed I am Mr Perfect except that I like a lot of sugar. These paper portions are everywhere now and I need to use at least two of them to make up just one of my heaped teaspoonsful. At my age, time and sugar, are important commodities.

If this thread goes well, I will consider posting another one about things which men do which annoy you girls (like daft postings)

Happy days

I can't STAND it when friends make a cup of tea in my home and leave the teabag aside... for 'another cup.'

Thanks Harry, I didn't realize I could be so petty! LOL BCXX

Dear Harry

Hello

Hope you are okay.

My grumble, people who are paid to do their jobs and then do not take responsbility of their role.

Take gentle care
Very best wishes

Talking about toilet rolls......
Why do some of them have to be stuck down so hard that it takes a few 'unrolls' to get the paper moving properly and untorn?.
What a waste of glue and paper.

I really hate it when people put their shopping trolleys back 'any old how' - I sometimes sort them out and stack them neatly. Even worse are people who can't be bothered to put them back at all and leave them to take up a parking space!!

People on buses who leave their shopping on the seat at the side of them and have to be asked to move their bag in order to let someone sit down.
This happened to me yesterday and there was only this one seat left. I asked the lady to move her bag.....nothing.....I then touched her hand.....nothing, then for one awful moment I thought she might be drugged up but by now everyone was watching. I decided to lift her shopping onto her lap. At which point she jumped sky high as she had been asleep. I actually felt sorry for her as she was embarrassed........ I was just glad she was alive.-JLe

One thing l really hate is when you hear a mother or father etc saying to a child..."if you do that again,l'll take that toy away and throuhg it in the bin" or something simular, then NEVER doing it. Or ... "No you can't have that toy"...ten minutes later the child has the toy....grrrrrrrr

My gripe - when you buy something in a container that is capeable of being used again, either for storage purposes or in the freezer, as I like to do, and it takes a feet of engineering to get the sticky label off without scratching the container to death.

lol Harry you sound just like my OH who hates those small papers of sugar,and says there's never enough in them.

My grumble is... why do folk cross the road inbetween moving traffic,with a crossing only feet away! putting their lives at risk and giving drivers a big problem....last week saw a very elderly couple,both with walking sticks doing just that...I find it unbelievable!

...that's my fraction of your thousand replies ;o)

Sheila Lol! I was just doing that this morning, my OH thinks it is hilarious, he tells everyone how I tidy the tollies. But it only takes a minute to push them in together. And it isn't rocket science to work out which ones go together......is it?
I think a lot of my petty grumbles are here already, although i ahve never suffered from yours BC. Mine is more the opposite, we always use one tea bag for two of us, don't like it too strong. SiL always uses one each!!!

Oh thought of one. On a split path with symbols one for cycles, one for pedestrians. Those who can't read, cysclists who cycle down the pedestrian side and expect me to move over to let them through. (it happens!). And it probably happens the other way round too. Why don't people make it easy and stick to the correct part of the path?

On a roll here Lol!!

People who, when realising I wear hearing aids, raise their voice (so to me they are shouting) and start to talk very slowly and positively as if I can't understand not can't hear.
