Baseboard heat, they're shit, why are they everywhere? And because of them, can't fit the stupid cabinet into the bathroom any more...Arse. Top loading washing machines, how crap are they? And what is the point of that knobbish safety switch that stops the machine working if the lid is open? Well that switch has fallen off the washing machine, so it won't work. Cocktastic. Doors that don't shut properly. Public bogs where you can see someone taking a shit. Power adaptors that are so chunky that they take up at least two spots on a power strip. US plug sockets. 24/7 Customer service, only to find they actually mean 9-5pm and at other times you'll get a even less helpful automated menu that results in you hanging up in anger even sooner than advertised. |

Those bloody hooks though - what is the point in them? I swear it takes a good two or three minutes after the final spin cycle before I can get the bloody thing open, which really messes up my speed-laundry sessions on weekends. B'stards. |

While I agree with you on just about everything there, I'd really just like to point out that 'cocktastic' may become my new favourite adjective.

Whining kids....It's got to stop...I'm looking at you little bobette...
One of us might not make the day at this rate, especially as I'm feeling rougher than a Bangkok ladyboys arsehole right now. |

Re: Pet Peeves?
I'm wondering also about top loading washers lol! It's beats having to do your back in loading the machine. I kind of miss the cozy hum of the washing machine in your kitchen though...
