That's another peeve....tyres that cost a fortune...and I'm not even talking about decent Nokian tyres, just crappy Coopers....and they last absolutely sod all time.

The fact that it costs $100 to switch a set of tyres over to winter tyres in MA, when it costs about $30 up in Maine...we don't bother with winter studs anymore, can't afford them either and they cost even more than regular tyres down our way, almost $200 a pop can FOAD.

Someone using my tea mug for anything other than tea...and dropping it, it's metal, but now it's wonky and won't stand up straight.

That eeking dishwasher, again...what is the point of rinse aid anyone? I really could have just put the dishes in the toilet, taken a gigantic shit, flushed and still ended up with cleaner looking dishes.

Canned food....that can't quite stack properly....even worse when they're empty and you can't slide them into other cans, so taking up a huge amount of space in the recycling bin.

Occasionally, a sharp knife will still have food stuck to it and I'll have to do it manually. My mother-in-law still insists on washing everything before putting it in the dishwasher though, even her brand new one.

Try running CLR through the dishwasher a few times. Mine was 13 years old and wasn't cleaning properly...CLR sorted it out. You can buy it at most supermarkets.

I have never EVER used the dishwasher that was in our house when we bought it. Noone believes me, but I hate them.

We actually have some, got it for the shower...didn't think it would work on the dishwasher....but might give it a go, thanks :)

Yeah I always wash stuff before putting it in the dishwasher. It's something you inexorably start to do when you get to a certain age, like joining AARP and taking an afternoon nap.

I used the one shown in the link...just in case you've got the spray one for the shower. Don't know if they are different.

That's the one we've got...it was a mare getting the shower head to not tip over with the fluid in it :D

Giving the dishwasher a run through with the goop now, hope it fixes it and this can then be one peeve I could let go :lol:
