Pet hates

[springyzone]

Anything out there that annoys you?

I'll share one of my pet hates, I struck it just last night... again.

You know those recipe sites you can look up, where people leave a comment and star rating for a recipe?

I like the sites, I use them a lot and I like to have a look at the rating/comments too, to assess if a recipe is worth trying. They can be really useful.

But the comments I hate are the ones that give 5 stars and say what a fantastic recipe it is then sneakily say at the bottom, 'I just added these other 14 ingredients and halved the amount of whatever and it was perfect.'

Grr, that's not the same recipe then, is it!!

It reminds me more of this:

I should learn how to do toilet paper origami.

(I’ll bet that that is a thing, but I refuse to Google it.)

Great thread Springy 👍🏻

I have quiet a few pet hates…..  most of them have already been mentioned.  
….. but a big one is “his”  instead of “he’s.”   (His going the wrong way) when it should read: he’s going the wrong way ….  grrrrrr 😣

I absolutely hate hate HATE seeing re-homing  advertisements for pets because the owners are moving house and can’t take the pets with them.  I just wouldn’t take a rental if I couldn’t have my pets there too. I would rather live in a tent than re-home my pet.  
That being said, one of our dogs was a re-homed pet 😉. He was 2yrs old when we got him, and he went from rags to riches ♥️. My pets have lives of luxury lol. 🐕 

I don’t like people who claim to be your great friend, but back stab you every chance they get, in order to stay friends with the current person doing the back stabbing. A lot of that goes on at work….. really peeves me off. No loyalty OR integrity!! 😡

I really dislike online grocery shopping with the Woolworths app.  Constantly ‘out of stock’ but if you jump in the car and drive down to Woolworths, the shelves are full of the items being listed as ‘out of stock.’ Also,  4 days for delivery like w.t.f… ?!?!?  It’s literally just up the road!!!  When I was in covid lock-down for 3 weeks, I had to rely on family to get groceries because I couldn’t wait for 4 days for delivery. I’d hate to think of those who didn’t have someone else who could  do their shopping for them. 

I can’t stand the taste of mushrooms, yet love cream of mushroom soup 🤭… go figure.

Thank you, janebabe. Thank you. My life is now complete.      I watched, and groaned.

People actually spend time making little sailboats or roses on their toilet rolls? Well, that's got to be exhausting; it only takes 2 or 3 people in a house with reasonable bowel movement (and woe betide if you have pregnant women there, or diabetics, or people who, like the Duke of Wellington, just have an overactive bladder) and you're spending almost every moment folding and twisting toilet paper into non-nether-region-wiping-optimised shapes.

Mostly used for air bnb or hotel rooms, etc I’d say.  
Personally, I couldn’t be bothered.  

tbh, I watched and fast forward most of it….. She was boring, slow and clumsy. 😒

Jane,  I buy from Woolies online and can get same day delivery.

I think the problem you have is using the app.

Much like the ebay app it doesn't bluddy work.

Use the full site for shopping.

Better toilet paper the wrong way than no toilet paper at all...

I hate it when people steal toilet paper from public toilets!

I also hate my pet.  She's an 18½ y.o cat, and has been  trying to kill me for most of that time.

Don't watch Pet Sematary... Stephen King must have had a cat like yours to write such a story... 😬

This is probably only for people who go to classical music concerts...

I find it very annoying when people clap between movements because they think it is the end of the concert or of the piece...

[countessalmirena]

I assume that the people clapping aren't very sure about where the piece ends and want to signal appreciation.

Now, if the person in front of me is extremely tall and broad, or is wearing a large and possibly feather-adorned hat, or has an elaborate hairdo... all of those things that can obscure my vision. Grrr!

Or... incessant coughing (especially in this COVID age), incessant talking, or having a hearing aid that is tuned to the frequency of audio equipment (if the concert's being recorded by the ABC, for instance) and thus emits an extremely irritating hum. I used to be very forgiving of coughs and so on; after all, people can't help coughing if they need to cough! But nowadays, I immediately think, "THEY SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME! DON'T GO OUT IF YOU FEEL UNWELL! I'LL BET THEY DIDN'T EVEN GET THEMSELVES TESTED! THEY'RE NOT WEARING A MASK! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"
