Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

[Jameshow]

Cloth covered buttons on duvets and pillow cases. Madness!

Bed covers over the top of the Duvet why!!!

Teenage sons who run a bath when you want a shower!!

 

[slowmotion]

And films in which absolutely nothing happens, you think "there's 120 minutes of my life I'll never get back", but people bore on about how profound it was.

(Looking at you, Lost In Translation)

......and There Will Be Blood. Any film director who inflicts a film of more than 120 minutes on the public is worthy of ridicule. If you can't entertain or educate in two hours, you're not very good.

To make it look nice

Likewise "Scatter Cushions" on the bed

What actual thingy is the bloomin' point???

you have to chuck them on the damn floor before you can even get into bed - then you get moaned at because they are on the floor

then you trip over the damn things on the way to the loo in the middle of the night

only to have to put them back on the bad (neatly!!!!!!) the next morning when the bed is made


on which point - it is best to leave the bed turned back in the morning so the bottom sheet and matress can air (i.e. the sweat dries out!!)


so why do people make the bed as soon as they get up??

and that makes "scatter cushions" even more pointless


all of which is why men should live alone (probably - he says checking SWMBO isn;t up yet!!!)

And there's the point... to whom? Who is actually going to see it other than the normal occupant(s), at least one of whom resents the damned things. In a hotel it's perhaps different because lots of people wander in and they want to create a good impression, and the pictures go on the internet for advertising purposes. Who's advertising their bedrooms?

I assume it is simply to copy the superficial 'standards' set by Instagram/hotel website/Country Life.

I'll vote for the death penalty for the unnecessary 'decoration' of beds, prevalent in some hotels. Three cushions, a silly little bit of decorated cloth where your feet would be! Only after you've chucked them into the corner of the room you can go to bed. Grrr!

And if someone does get to see the bedroom when it is all neat and tidy - chances are the look of the bed is the furthest thing from their mind at the time!!!!

I mean - how many people give guided tours of tehir house to other people!!
(OK - maybe once after they move in or have had the room "done")

I mean - if the grandkids come round here all the bedroom look like a sheet/duvet factory has suffered from an especially bad explosion - within 10 minutes!!
either that or you can;t see the bed for teddies!

I'm sure it's been posted before but this is a classic

Ironically, they shut our local doctor’s surgery yesterday.

After consultation with the local population, it was decided that nobody was using it.

The first question on the questionnaire was “Have you used the surgery in the last 2 years?”.

Seeing as it has been closed since lockdown in March 2020, everyone had no choice but to answer “No”

Deffo I put in my hiking boots to get a knife for my now cold toast! Much prefer a galley kitchen even better on a boat with a girl!
oh sorry I've woken up now!!

That just means you have stuff in the wrong cupboard!
Knives and such near where you prep food, and pasta maker with the avocado grinder in the far away cupboard, or in the attic

I'll vote for the death penalty for the unnecessary 'decoration' of beds, prevalent in some hotels. Three cushions, a silly little bit of decorated cloth where your feet would be! Only after you've chucked them into the corner of the room you can go to bed. Grrr!

Why oh why do they do the apple-pie-bed thing in hotels? When you go to bed they've made the bed so snugly have have to spend 10 minutes pulling all the sheets clear. And next evening after a hard day at the office they've done it again. For that matter why do the even need to visit the room each day?

Many hotels nowadays give you the option to not have them service the room every day. Even those which don't specify it as an option, you can just hang the "do not disturb" notice on the door all day.

Yebutt when you go into the room where do you chuck your mucky suitcase? On the end of the bed probably and the bit of cloth is to protect the bedding.
