    Estate Agents in general but ones that don't take down property that's been sold/rented out on their websites. Would literally take 30 seconds.

    cups or mugs that don't stack properly.

    Talking about a set of the same mugs where the base is exactly same size as rim so you can't put on top of each other in the cupboard.

    Putting a dirty spoon into a dishwasher, realising that it's full but has been on... Trying to retrieve said spoon and cutting your hand on a knife

    The only mugs I would buy would be Mother's Day mugs from the littlun's.

    Think I commented on this thread about a year ago we have over 50 cups/ mugs in a house with 3 adults.

    I once rented a one bed flat which came with over 70 drinking vessels (mugs, cups, glasses), all itemised on the inventory

    Alliterative animal names used in sport, particularly 20/20 cricket. Birmingham Bears, Sussex Sharks and worst of all Essex Eagles. WTF? The only eagles in Essex are in Colchester zoo. Its absolute madness and the sort of thing you'd expect from a Surrey football club with no sense of tradition.

    Bexley council and the new bin service.

    You pay, they take your bin and won't deliver the new garden waste bin until perhaps even mid October even though you paid in August. Give me my old bin back until you're able to replace it! Should i just leave my garden waste on the street in the meantime?

    Last week we forgot to put our Brown bin out and my missus ran it up the drive as the bin man came along she said sorry and he promptly tipped most of it over our drive so when they went she spent 15 minutes clearing it all up. wish I was at home I would have chinned the f****r I wonder if he would have been so punchy if a man had been there.

    The waste collection service is becoming a disgrace and I am with MAM if we all dumped our excess rubbish on the Council HQ steps would they be so quick to rip us off. Its just a council tax hike disguised as more "recycling" shit.

    Well I wasn't at home charltonkeston and by the time I was she had already cleared up. But I told her exactly to do what your missus did next time. What really gets me is that at Christmas they walk around in silly hats expecting tips!

    Toothbrushes that have rounded handles, so you can't put toothpaste on them.

    Yes, very true.
    Good/dishonest marketing, the brand took off when celebrities latched on to their early models, including Beckham, I believe. Met one of the founders one evening at a mutual friend's house. Quite an amazing success story.

    I think their sizes are Japanese. Their large size is everyone else's medium. I'm a man... I can't be expected to try clothes on before buying them. Or removing the labels and binning the receipt.

  • When you fuck up years ago but it impacts years later, bstd fecking one month early from first 12 month accounts submitted and the business although able to show the bank it's turning well, turnover way above expectations yet we need a short term increase of cashflow to assist with an opportunity, yet they go off my own credit history that we are able to start addressing properly after always running close to the limits, makes you fecking determined to sort and make a successful business even more than I got up this morning
