I hate it when mothers drag their kids down the street swearing and screaming at the top of their voices

Which are screaming? The mothers or the kids or both?

Joanie, grrrr is just a growl of dissatisfaction 🙂

Exhibit A: Riviana Brown Rice. The top of the pack tears off ok but the zip-lock seal is useless.

Exhibit B: Sistema "Klip It" storage containers. The idea is to keep food fresh but they're not airtight.

Exhibit C: These things, found on everything from sauce bottles to pills. It's a rare and joyous day when they

come off cleanly at the first go.

Exhibit 😧 Twinings' packaging - the bit that says "Made in China".

Exhibit B: Sistema "Klip It" storage containers. The idea is to keep food fresh but they're not airtight. - Noticed the same problem

come off cleanly at the first go. Had the same problem

Exhibit 😧 Twinings' packaging - the bit that says "Made in China". - didn't notice that until you pointed it out

I don't hate anything or anyone hate is a counterproductive emotion 🙂

I dislike intensely when the cheap protective plastic gloves that one uses whilst staining furniture, etc. becomes "eaten" by the stain.

Only to be found upon completion of the project that the finger nails and a streak down to the palm is a nice shade of Walnut.

I hate the foil/plastic seal on my presciption bottles which are almost impossible to get a grip on. I end up stabbing them with the scissors to prise them off.

I hate opening mouth wash, the seal is impossible to get off and the child proof top needs a Heavy weight boxer to get it off

I hate all ziplock bags, full stop. I've never ever managed to get them zipped back again.

And I hate any package that says Pull here as it never ever works.

amber-eyed-girl — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 08:24:28 GMT

I love ziplocks. I ziplock too many things.

I hate it when I can't get to sleep.

Re: I Hate It When...

bright.ton42 — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 08:30:53 GMT

What's the secret then amber ...... of zipping ziplock bags??

I hate it when I'm a big fail at doing things that others can do, lol.

I like the little lunch zip top bags, I have one in my hand bag with lip stick, gloss pain killer and other bits and pieces so I can find things in hand bag easy.

They are the same size as the bags customs give you so I am always ready going through a airport.

Just lay then flat and press along the line 🙂

Re: I Hate It When...

amber-eyed-girl — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 09:00:46 GMT

I either lie them flat, or hold them against my tummy, and pinch a few spots together to get it lined up then swoosh along from one end 🙂

I get little ziplocks for that sort of thing too, Lionrose. A friend took a ziplock bag full of ziplocks on a tour of Europe as he saw how great they are...and he used all of them 🙂
