They should make ones that say CNUT on them. I bet those would raise a few eyebrows

Cradle of Filth have a T-shirt that says "Jesus is a ******" on it. I think that's caused a bit of controversy for some reason.

Well, christianity is a cult and he's the focus of it, so what's the problem?

ETA - OK, I just googled it and the "C" word is spelled in full, which I hadn't realised. They're a lovely bunch, aren't they??

I can not take things like that seriously, I know they want me to be shocked and horrified, but it just makes me think they are being silly little boys.

Peeves? I bet its already been mentioned but American plugs and plug sockets. Is it too much to ask that a plug stays plugged in til I`ve finished hoovering?

Politicians. Should only be considered for office if they`ve been outside the USA.

I find the fully grounded ones stay in the sockets quite well, but they're hardly universal - our hoover certainly doesn't have one.

In some cases I have the opposite problem.. certain plug + outlet combinations that fit in so snugly that they are very hard to pull out.

Usually that happens to me if the prongs get bent, or if I'm using a six-gang.
