British Expats - Pet Peeves?

Those strips of magnetic tape that you stick on crafts or photo's...how they only stick on the fridge for a short while and then as soon as you try and move them, they lose their sticking ability.

Might as well use glue.

Same goes for a lot of those fridge magnets.

If you are going to sing a song where you repeat the word "Santa" a few hundred times, don't pronounce it "Sanna".

"Addicting", it's not a real word. Puck off and die.

Safety catches on kids gob wash bottles, that only kids can open....WTF.

People on Freecycle who respond to something, but then never follow it up, or never post that something is taken/PPU.

The griddle pan, that has a million settings but you always have to use "high" because everything else is basically "off" in reality.

Valentines is fine....but do they really need to have all three out at the same time?

Couldn't they at least wait till one was over with was more my issue.
