Having to double blip the car lock to unlock the rear doors and not being able to get it reprogrammed....annoying as wet poo that....especially as it won't unlock them if you blip to quickly.

Take out coffee cups, well the lids. Can never seem to find the right size, or just be able to get just one and end up with a bunch of them and once you do break the tab so you can use them, they make a mess and dont' close up properly.

While at it, people who take fifty million napkins from the dispenser. Just means you either can't get any as it's now empty or so bunched up you can't get any out.

What the hell do you do with so many napkins? Plan to wallpaper your house in the stuff? Take a shit on the middle of the table? What the klunge, seriously?

CEC controls on the DVD/TV player. It's like the thing is possessed. I've switched it off, yet it doesn't matter. When ever the DVD player is powered up, it switches the tele on, changes the input and plays the DVD and if you switch the TV back, or turn the DVD player off, it pops back and does its thing. I am about ready to throw the thing out of the window.

And what's the deal with there not being a Disney Jr app for for Android? And no Flickr app for iOS? Arseholes.

There are times when I wonder how Bob makes it though the day without killing anyone.

Ok Canadians, just piss off our roads already. We have enough elderly drivers down here going 20mph below the speed limit as it is, we don't need any more - Get back to your winter frozen wasteland! If you don't like the tundra, move (but ideally somewhere other than FL).

How else do you think we ended up with such a bumper crop of tomatoes this summer?

The compost doesn't feed itself you know.

Tottering piles of salsa pots. Or a whole cup of lemon slices, taken painstakingly one at a time with the tongs.

Rt9.

I'd rather nail my bollocks to a cheese grater than have to face that.

An hour to do 9 miles, FFS.

Bloody septic tank

We've been at this house too long, that's the third time I've had to dig the septic tank out so the contractor can come pump it out. The access hatch is buried eighteen inches deep beneath the driveway. And I swear to god it moves. Six years ago it was ten feet from the corner of the house, this time it was seven feet from the corner. that's a lot of extra digging...

Why is it that some people have to give a 5 minute waffle to a yes/no question?
