Who do you curse? (Lighthearted)

[EssexSue]

As I struggled to open the Bold box this morning I cursed all the little idiots who decided to eat washing powder pods so that these formerly lovely storage boxes had to be made more difficult to open. I used yomuse them for storage too so it's a double whammy.

My other pet hate is the shoe bomber who's action made it impossible for us to carry liquid onto a plane. (Including hair wax believe it or not). And he's still alive too!

I struggle with those detergent boxes too and now leave them open on a shelf

Also chid proof caps on pain killers - I get a head ache just opening the blasted things

Paper straws - what’s the point ! Given my clear hard plastic that can be washed and re-used please rather than a soggy but of paper that I cant suck through

Mine is the people who invented the X straps inside suitcases to hold your clothes secure. Some you press the sides of the clips, some you twist, some you poke one bit through a hole in the other clip and twist... all have to be aligned perfectly - and the right way up!... arghhhh... (2 kids off to uni, 2 new cases...)

My cats wet food foil tins have been replaced by sachets and because she has to have small meals (due to colitis) I fridge half until the next meal
Easy with the square foil tin, but the sachets tend to fall over and it goes everywhere 😵

Yep I will... and no it's not easy to get out because it gets stuck in the corners and creases at the bottom 🙄
Sounds pathetic moaning about it 😂

I like the zip mesh ones stops the bits that you would prefer in your hand luggage but not allowed from falling out.

I am with you on those stupid plastic boxes that hold the laundry tabs. I sliced my and open a few months ago trying to prise it open with a knife. I just buy the huge bottles of laundry liquid from Costco now instead.
This morning my gripe is with Apple who decided to remove the socket for earphones on their iPad so that you either have to use wireless or have one of those little adaptor things for the charging point. The charge has run out on my earphones and I can't find the sodding widget!
