Pet Peeves - Get it off your chest!

We may have had something like this before, but I though I'd give it a whirl...

We all need a good whinge from time to time, don't we?!


I hate duvet covers, they make me scream with frustration sometimes! Not only are they a pain to put on and get off, they are also a complete nightmare to fold properly after drying on the line.

I am also very averse to going into a bathroom after someone has showered or had a bath and everything is damp. Yuck!

And my last one for today is checking stock availability on the website, only to find when you get there 30 minutes later, that it was wrong!

What gets your goat?

Frankie, going on You tube to find out the easiest way to put a duvet cover on and not being able to understand the video!

It's not folding duvet covers, at least they have straight lines, it's fitted sheets with their elasticated skirts flopping all over the place.

It's really not that hard to put on a duvet cover :

1. Turn it inside out
2. Grab two corners
3. Pick up the corners of the duvet
4. Lift the duvet/cover up with your arms at full stretch, still holding the corners, and the cover will begin to fall around the duvet, right way round.
5. Grab the corners again, but this time from the other angle and just shake the whole thing down and let gravity do the work for you ..


For me, it's bad driving, bad cycling, bad pedestrians, usually all of whom are wearing some form of headphone.
Chavs.
The posh.
Tories.
Posh tories driving, cycling or walking with or without headphones.

I could go on but you get the idea ..

I know what you are saying about the duvet covers and I have tried all the different methods, but it still annoys me.

Bad drivers - yes -- and there are so many these days...

Posh - yes, and people who think they are better than everyone else because they are richer...

Don't even get me started on Tories...

Percentage. The lowest paid have just an increase in the region of 35p wow. If you earn 10000k a year or 100000k a year a 2% increase equals £200 and £2000 on those sums, it just means annual percentage increases mean the pay gap just gets wider.

You can get what's called an "Easy-Fit" duvet if you're a total cacker about it

Is it just me or are they even earlier this year and there are more of them too?
