Weeny Peeves

Glad Tidings, Anyone reading. Please add your own 'Weeny Peeve', here, and VENT about it, if needs must. A Small (weeny) thing, which is irritating (peevish)... enough to be irritating, yet not so large as to breakdown One's life... I shall try examples of what I mean, thusly:

...Packets which say:"Pull here to open" --- Yet upon pulling, only the "Pull Here" part opens, and One must resort to the use of tools such as Scissors to open the rest of the darn thing.

...That floating bit of FLUFF which just *will not land* and so can constantly evade being swept up or cleaned away. (Vacuum Cleaners must be employed, here.)

...Things which state that they cost under "X" amount of money, yet only because they cost "X minus 1 plus 99-pence"... The saving of just 1 Pence is ALWAYS touted loudly as a bargain!

...TV Shows which are fictional but when beginning to discuss a real-life impasse, it is as if the writers know this and so change the subject... usually with something loud/dramatic/exploding.

...Not something I myself do, but have often seen done: When eating something "crunchy", upon the first bite, the rest of it fairly disintegrates so much that collecting the fragments is no longer worth any nutrition gained from the effort.

... Even if no-one else replies, I Myself may add to this Thread, now that I have started it, for everyday things. Good Fortune and Stay Safe, All.

  • Just woken from a stonking nightmare so broke my nighttime no phone rule to reorientate myself and calm down. Just read this thread, or most of it. Lightened my load. Almost had me laughing out loud. (Don’t want to disturb the neighbours!) 

    Agree with so many peeves on this thread. Will probably add some weeny ones in daylight hours. (I’m already breaking my self imposed curfew as I’m meant to be asleep!) 

    Just wanted to say thanks DC for this thread and also to the contributors. It’s been a huge comfort to me. 

    (I am RvW by the way, but locked myself out of that Avatar and all it’s stuff completely. Any confusion caused not intentional.)

  • One for the road .....

    Herbal pills that are supposed to be good for the memory .... discovered unopened at back of cupboard and well out of date. 

    And another....

    Relaxing bubble bath with the lid so tightly screwed on it winds me up just getting it open! (Good job it wasn’t a glass bottle!)
