Council car parks that give you a choice of paying by machine (but the pay by card doesn't work and the pay by coin only works half the time as they're not emptied daily anymore) or an app. The app's great but paying 10p for the service on a 70p ticket is taking the piss.
The sort of people that are so unhappy with their lot in life, they live with the intent on shitting on the little bits of joy that make others happy.
Dogs aren't the reason your life is shit. You and your choices most likely are.
If I hated dogs, I'd just avoid the clearly labled dog threads. That stealth dog birthday present thread though...

Woah woah woah!
Away with you an your reasonable behaviour, it has no place here. If I don't like something then I'm going to make damn sure everyone knows, repeatedly, whether that's what the thread was about or not....

That is not the way of things around here.

Beaten to it.
Paracetamol tablet removal , any other tabs are easy to push through but not them
I need them for arthritis in the wrist and struggle unless I've got a knife to pierce the foil/film
Washing machine tabs, the container is meant to keep the jelly looking things away from kids, probably me as well as I need to break into it to get one
the tablet breaks
Leaving you with what looks suspiciously like an illegal narcotic's residue...and the broken bits then crumble further the second they are placed in the mouth. 😭
Booked an electrician to do £2,500 of work three weeks ago. 50% deposit paid, date arranged and confirmed, didn't turn up. It's not something they're going to be able to do in an afternoon. And they're not answering the phone. I guess this is the reason the Good Lord invented section 75 protection.
Pissed off. Had to turn down an offer to do something fun today in order to be in for the work, and stripped out all the old stuff to save time. Even bought extra biscuits for them.

Lantern festivals. I actually hope they are a scam and the idiots who have paid for tickets lose their money.
Dishwasher tablet companies funding keep out of reach of children warning campaigns (that also conveniently happen to be adverts), why do kids eat dishwasher tablets? because they look like sweets, and why do they look like sweets? Because dishwasher tablet companies realise the ones that look like sweets sell more than those that don't..... what an utterly hypocritical, morally bankrupt line of reasoning. arseholes, there's no fire in hell, hot enough.
Sorry was ”trolling” about the dog threads aka not being entirely serious... You know how a minority do something and sometimes you end up hating on the majority for it but are also aware... Yeah it's a mess and so is dog shit. Yours, not a real dog hater.

Especially when it’s that weird plastic-paper, then the tablet breaks and one bit invariably pings off somewhere on the floo r.
Not just us. I was in hospital yesterday in day surgery ward and joked about this to the nurse handing me my pre-op paracetamol. She said they waste hundreds if not thousands due to broken tablets and the inevitable pinging onto the floor.
It does seem odd that they don't just use the normal foil blister packs... If it ain't broke why fix it?
Maybe to stop yourself deleting from life
My 75mg blood thinner Aspirin packs are a challenge unless you leave your fingernails untrimmed. Also, the uncoated chalky horse pill sized choke hazard Metformin I sometimes get lumbered with. They're even more of a bugger to swallow once they're Heimliched up all soggy 🤬🤬🤬
44 minutes past 7…. Said a Radio Presenter this morning, ffs it really triggered me this morning, what is the world coming too… 😡
T**ts who advertise items of furniture/other big stuff on ebay and don't list the sizes.....
Compounded by the t**t who asked me why i needed the size of a cast iron bath?
They obviously knew the exact size of the bathroom at my house that it was going in.
I replied "have a guess"
folks that use Tesco carrier bags as bin bags. So their black bins have a dozen of these in it, rather than one black bin bag.
folks that put recyclable objects in general waste.
folks that put things in recycling that are still half full of drink/food product. Whilst i applaud them recycling, at least remove the remaining liquid or food (ideally, wash it out).
The worry of debt, even though you know full well you can afford it, yet it still hangs over you.
“Un-hard your decisions”
folks that use Tesco carrier bags as bin bags. So their black bins have a dozen of these in it, rather than one black bin bag.
We reuse Tesco/Sainsbury's/whatever plastic bags as bin liners in bathroom bins, we could throw those away and buy bin specific liners if you'd prefer.
This is not disproportionate...
The current trend in littering the forests around N Notts. It started in lockdown with idiots fixing plastic marge tubs etc to trees and then filling them with bread for the birds. Bread is bad for them, there's plenty of natural food in the forest and after a day or two you have a soggy rotting tub of plastic fixed to the tree. Now 3 years on they just look awful. So I removed them.
Then there's the attention seeking trend that my wife tells me are "random acts of kindness". Yesterday I found a white knitted teddy bear on a plastic bag with a card informing me that "wise people never stop learning"(whereas thickos litter the forest) hanging on a tree. Later dangling from a branch, a bracelet of artificial flowers! Go back to your urban environment with your random plastic crap and leave the natural environment alone!
I'm still cross even after spending the last 24hrs ranting to anyone who would listen (yeah I know, my poor wife)

The app’s great but paying 10p for the service on a 70p ticket is taking the piss.
The 10p is if you want a text notification to tell you your time is running out. You don’t have to pay it, you could just look at your watch. Or set a reminder on your phone…
All the cash boxes on the council parking meters in Chippenham were vandalised recently, so cash payments weren’t available. The same thing happened to all the parking meters in the National Trust car park in Lacock, in fact the actual machines were wrecked, I couldn’t even use my members card! 😖
I’ve installed the MiPark app now, it seems to be the most common parking app, and I can pay sitting in the car when I park, much easier than fannying around trying to use some random text system, or find I’ve not got any change.
Some machines have a contactless system, but you’re still having to put the registration in, see above 👆.
Car parks where there is no phone signal to use PayByPhone. I’m looking at you, Craster.

And where it declines your card on the day you forget any change, in the pissing rain. Ilkeston.

Fat-ist. One day we will rise up and sit on you.
@flicker - hey man, you do you. its a free world.
But for me, using a thick, fairly durable plastic bag for a bathroom bin liner doesnt make sense. Use it for carrying your shopping home.... thousands of times. Then get a flimsy small bin bag for your bathroom bin (or a flimsy carrier bag from a shop, just not a hardy dirable one), that although will take a thousand years to decompose, it wont take millions like the tesco one.

So much this. And it's getting worse.
MS Teams on my work laptop which is still proclaiming to be 'new' 4 months after it updated.
What instead of which
meh, overuse of which instead of that is which winds me up the most
MS Teams on my work laptop
Home use MS Teams app. Mrs Fazzini had to attend a workshop last night and they hosted it on Teams. Mrs F doesn't use Teams at work ever, and I've never needed to use personal Teams. OMG its awful. No functionality like work-based version. Synchronisation with Outlook non-existent even though its meant to sync. I'm almost ready to forgive my work Teams...
And while I'm on a technological vent, spelling auto-correct. If I wanted to type 'complaint' I'd bloody well type it. I'm typing 'compliant' for a damn good reason.
I’ve installed the MiPark app now, it seems to be the most common parking app
I've never, ever parked anywhere that used MiPark. Ringo, OTOH, is almost ubiquitous. So that's another thing - there is absolutely no value to the consumer in having a random selection of parking apps cluttering up your phone. See also authenticator apps for 2FA - I had to install another one yesterday.
It's possible I may have mentioned this before. Being pestered to write a review for every single thing you ever buy on line, every service you use, even the bloody apps on your phone. This morning it was a bag of coffee from an online roaster. It's nice coffee and the service is good, but there are only so many times I'm going to tap that out before I switch to 'stop being so effing needy'!
Yesterday it was android auto, an app I use almost every day but which feels the need for me to validate its existence on an annoyingly regular basis.
