    Or should it be the the Victor Meldrew thread?

    Anyhow, I thought it would be fun to have a place to document all those little things in life that niggle you.

    I’ll start…

    Bloody eco toilets!

    Can’t shift a man-size poo resulting in much brush wielding, several flushes with the attendant long waits for the cistern to refill.

    Not only are they a waste of time, but they must use much more water.

    Bloody eco toilets!

    Grumble, grumble…..

    People who say “I’ll start..” but don’t.

    Even worse they then start in a second post.

    Not the kind of grumble I was hoping for.

    Anyway:

    Dirt embedded deep in leeks from the garden
    When coffee grounds escape around the edge of the cafetiere press
    Fatuous bollocks

    Ruddy jobsworth train drivers that stick with the 2 bikes on a train rule on a commuter train.

    If you don’t stack the bikes like a moron then you can get 4 bikes in there and still be able to open the door. But no, you have to wield that tiny bit of power you have don’t you, you miserable, coffin dodging got.

    People who drive in to a yellow hatch on the road without the exit being clear.

    YOU ARE THE REASON THAT TRAFFIC JAMS EXIST. GET OF THE FUKKEN ROAD YOU NITWITS.

    Sorry, bit extreme for a grumble, but I nearly missed collecting my parcel yesterday because of these absolute plums.

    The people stood on the high street with clipboards who come up to you and ask “who’s your gas and electric with?” as if that’s a reasonable opener for a conversation with a stranger. Which brand of tampon does your wife use, you c@$£?

    Every sodding lunchtime. I’m running out of t**tish responses.

    Oh, and pretty much anything to do with the railways in this country.

    Opening the dishwasher at the end of the cycle to find that the tablet has embedded itself on the top of a plate.

    Things that stop working for no bloody good reason. Usually computer related.
    Case 1. Canon printer. Not used much, practically brand new. Works fine. Switch it off. Few days later switch it on. Shagged. No response. Why? Hammer.

    Case 2. iPod. Added songs to it one day. Few days later, plug it in. Not recognised. Large brick.

    My spare room is littered with computery debris.

    Oh and picking up on Loddrick’s dishwasher – why is the “Salt needed” light on all the bloody time? Salt thing full to the brim? or empty? Salt light. Argh.

    MIDI. I just want to play my synths, not spend my evening figuring out some poxy MIDI routing software that was designed by engineers, for engineers, and never UI tested by any normals 😡

    Yes,it’s that fault I told you about months ago.
    But why has it stopped.?

    in fact any UI that was clearly never user-tested.

    (Or manual for said item that was never proof-read by someone who didn’t already know how the thing worked)

    People in front who take several years to turn off the road onto another road or a drive. My cars got the fancypants autostopping thing so the lights flash on the dash and occasionally it’ll brake if they take too long to get out of the way.

    yes, good point. First up against the wall come the revolution.
