Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

I use one mug all day - tea and coffee
But it gets a good rinse and possible wipe out every time
But the teaspoon gets re-used all day - but as I poor the boiling water into my tea or coffee I pour it over the spoon to rinse it off with hot water

This also prevents accidentally putting my coffee into my wife's tea

otherwise the diskwasher would be full of mugs and tea spoons with no room for dishes, plates and pans!

And your Father In Law has lost a trip out.

I'd email or SM them a complaint quoting age discrimination law...

I know plenty of 70-80 year old people with smartphones, so I think it would be hard to justify that as age discrimination. I'm sure there are plenty in their 80s as well, I just don't know many people of that age.

The one friend I do have who is 84 definitely has a smartphone. Though he is also the only person I know personally who has an EV.

He does but doesn't know how to use it, has arthritic fingers so it makes it difficult. Also it I/we bought them how would he get then on his phone?

I also have separate tea and coffee mugs, for the same reason.

I don't wash them though - a quick rinse after the drink is finished is enough to get them clean.

The weirdest article I read recently was saying to save water do not wash a saucepan that have been used to boil veg. Surely more than a saucepan used the washing up water

I wasn't saying it would necessarily work for you, just that it isn't really an age discrimination thing.

Getting it on to somebody else's phone is usually just a case of emailing it with the QR code.

I ended up finding a number for the accessibility line, they have taken a manual order & will be posting the tickets out, costs more of course but not a great deal, I wonder how many sales they lose by not having the option visible?

Those who maintain that we have mild climate on the west coast caused by the Gulf Stream. In fact we do get a stream if water but it is the North Atlantic Drift.
The Gulf Stream veers south down the coast of Africa quite a bit south of the British Isles.

I could save having to wash anything up whatsoever by placing it in the dishwasher and leaving the door open.. Bonnie the Bichon would be in there like a shot any lick every last morsel of food of absolutely everything...

Spotless!!

I don't, though

Customers halfway down aisle one, in a slight panic because they haven't yet found a product. Calm the feck down, there's still 9/10ths of the shop to explore!
