    Default Little things that p!ss us off

    Of course, there are big things, that upset all of us. But I'm sure that we all have little things that everyone else thinks are inconsequential, but really give us the irrits.

    For example, it really p!sses me off that a big hardware chain puts a barcode sticker on the back of each sheet of abrasive, especially as the same code is printed on the back of the sheet. Then I have to attack the sticker with eucalyptus oil to get the little sod off.

    What gives you the irrits?

    Same "B" little stickers on all the gutter brackets, joist hangers, etc which have to be removed before painting.

    These little things have a bast..d glue and break up into little pieces instead of peeling. (security, I know)

    I also love the way they stick them onto pieces of timber, always on the best side. :mad:

    Those fr***in stickers they put on apples.

    Numbskulls who don't indicate when turning left at roundabouts

    and D**kheads who undermine driveways to put cables through and don't backfill so the next time Squizz turns up in the truck the driveway collapses.....:mad: .

    Feel better already

    (losing your wallet or mobile phone is a right pain the butski)

    Hmmnn running out of beer is a bummer.

    I could go on...

    Bought a brand new car in Townsville once and didn't get ten clicks down the road before a truck carrying blue metal decided to unload some onto the windscreen.....

    Ok I'll go now

    Its not just wood/hardware stores that do this - I have several expen$ive reference books that have mucking great thick security tags stuck with permanent glue into them - warped the covers & marked several pages too.

    Strangely I now buy most of my books from Internet dealers like Amazon now, as they don't mutilate the goods before you get them. And I buy my timber from the local timber yard - plug: North Shore Timber - who at least pay their staff enough to recognize a 2x4 without a bar code.

    What i hate is how my SWMBO allways squeeze's the tooth paste tube in the middle, when I go to use its all screwed up "roll the end dear I say" but no not ever!

    Then the other day I goes out to me little runnabout car and find she's ripped the leather on the drivers seat with a zipper on her bloody trendy pants, distinctly after telling SWMBO not to wear anything metal on her pants while driving my car!

    But I still love her,wouldnt swap her for anything(sometimes!!).
