😠 The Little Annoyances Of Everyday Life (Part 1)

The advertising psychologists must have had a field day on this one. The introduction of compulsory “warnings” into the ads has actually turned out to be manna from heaven, because they can pack it with reassuring words and phrases like safe, responsible, knowing limits, help, etc etc. “We Play Together” ffs, makes it sound like fun for all the family doesn’t it. When it’s more likely to be some poor bloke living in a fucking bedsit having sold his house to pay the bookies and still can’t stop betting.

Back in the day, the bookies was viewed as something shady, you’d feel a bit of a wrong’un just being seen going into one. There was a reason for that, it’s insidious, costly and dangerous, and I don’t understand how gambling gets a free pass from our glorious leaders nowadays when they seem so eager to clamp down on literally every other vice.

They’ve all but outlawed tobacco use to any new smokers. But you’re probably onto something there, gambling has horrific financial effects on addicts but doesn’t have much physical effect on them for the NHS to soil it’s hands or rack up bills on.

Halfway through an important call and the battery on the handset dies.

Who the fuck was it who recommended the repair/recycle to fix a broken household appliance.
Our tumble dryer refused to dry yesterday so I searched YouTube for the fix and this is what I got.


OK so I dropped the dryer…it wasn’t heavy, just awkward.
Tried to see if I could repair the now substantial damage but just thought…fuck it!
I bought a new one…arriving Tuesday, wish me better luck. :lou_facepalm_2:

Take a bow, @CB-Saint

haha you fucking grass :laughing:

Paging @lifeintheslowlane …

…this looks like an offer of assistance to me, from Sotonians’ very own YouTube domestic appliance repair expert, @CB-Saint . :+1::+1::+1:

Too late.
The new dryer arrives on Tuesday.

I had identified the fix and had removed the offending heater element. I was lifting the fucker onto a shelf in the garage to get it out of the way when it wriggled free and dashed its brains out on the garage floor.

I blame Chambers, he was away visiting his dying Mother. Inexcusable. :frowning:

The housemaids lending my tools to their family and not bringing them back.

It really pisses me off when I want to do something. Go to find the right tool for the job and its not where I bloody left it.

Same goes with the kitchen draws why do women feel the need to reorganise them when they are fine the way they are. knives forks and spoons in the top drawer all the other shit in the lower drawers. It boils my piss.

The housemaids cooking prawn crackers in oil on the outside grill taking the crackers out and going inside to eat them whilst leaving the hot oil on the gas which spontaneosly ignites. Shit safety training kicks in turn of gas get wet towel and drop over hot stove and boiling oil leave until cool.

I need new housemaids

It’s those Godawful new telly adverts for their poxy delivery service. Most irritating bollocks to hit the screens since We Buy Any Car, or Motorway.

There is nothing little about my annoyance today

The Ayatollah set off for London got into the middle of our road and a gear box light came on and the car is now immovable

I said try mine and the engine management light comes on and limp home mode is activated

On top of that our boiler have decided to join the party and display a warning wanting some attention

So now waiting for 2 x AA plus one boiler man

Is someone deliberately fucking with me?
