I bet there's lots of 'lost' stuff under most fridges and freezers.Ha ha!

I have a habit of popping pills out their packet, then they fall, hit my foot and go under the fridge.

My wife leaves washed spoons on the draining board with the concave side upward.
Not only that, she lays all the cutlery perpendicular to the slats instead of in them, thereby wasting the available space. Drives me nuts!

Not my annoyance but a pal has decided to change broadband supplier and the new one BT will send a router by 3.30 PM on Friday.
Nothing turned up so phoned this in. Short while later the local OpenReach guy phoned to say he had instructions to install a new router and superspeed broadband. He had a router but it would not do as it is still old copper wire to this house. Meanwhile a new router turned up an hour later so he phoned the OpenReach guy and read out what was in the parcel. Then told not to bother with it as it would not do either.
Both of them are now trying to get some sense out of BT and his present supplier wants the old router back pronto or else big charges will accrue.
So no broadband until BT get the finger out.

How come every time I finish with the Big Sellotape I put a wee fold in the end, to make it easy for next time, but when I get to 'next time', there's no signs of a fold, and it takes me an hour & a half to find the bleedin' end.

Adverts. Actually, one in particular at the moment...the one for Verisure alarms.
Aside from being ridiculously staged and wooden, it has this ridiculous, criminal line:
Person 1: so, you've had an alarm installed?
Person 2: yes, it's getting so dark these days
These days? THESE DAYS?!!
yeah, dark evenings in the winter are a real recent phenomenon. How did that get past quality control? Reads like something out of I'm Alan Partridge

ALL of the ads for Verisure alarms are annoying, the fake shock and horror. I can't decide whether it's very poor scripts, very poor acting or more likely both.Adverts. Actually, one in particular at the moment...the one for Verisure alarms.

I bought a small Christmas window light/decoration yesterday. On paying for it I said to the shop assistant "If the lead doesn't reach the nearest socket I'll come back tomorrow and buy one of your extension leads". She looked at me in a kind of 'ok, let's humour him and play along with him' way. When I get home and opened the box I remembered it was battery operated, when she showed it to me. I feel such a berk!

People's mobile phones going off while they are being interviewed on the radio. You'd think that they would have the sense to turn them off.

If she also turns the oven or CH thermostat to max thinking it'll work faster, then it appears so.
Do you have mine? Always leaving the lid off the toothpaste could be the giveaway...
