British Expats - Pet Peeves?

:lol: That's brilliant.

I had a small collection like that from when I was processing donated books.

One person had a collection of postcards with poetic love messages in slightly broken English. One with this image had a discourse about how women like to keep things in their drawers.

I think it was unintentional. If I'd known about the bloke in Worthing I would have kept the cards for him :D

Coats that don't have coat hooks.

Hooks that don't actually hold anything.

Thermostats that don't have a hour setting when changing the time so you have to roll through all the minutes to set it back an hour.

Timer on the cooker not having a 5 min increment option.

New shit that you buy, that doesn't work.

I am trying really hard to breath and not explode right now :/

Customer Service Depts. that don't...
And then ask if there's anything else they can help you with today.

The concept that Capitalism will ensure competition, better products and services rather than charging the most they can get for the minimum they can give you.
(I'm looking at you phone/internet companies.)
