Do you have anything that bugs you, even though you know you are being completely unreasonable!

Mine is that my DH has seen the birth of two children, ours, but that I have never been able to see one born! Still slightly annoys me, even after 45 years - I must be a really grumpy old git!

Do you mean actually witnessing the birth?
I certainly wouldn’t have wanted to be present for the births of 3 Gdcs - too much of a worrier! - and I’m sure having her dh there was quite enough for dd, but we were always there only hours later, for first cuddles.
Fine with me.

Though now I come to think of it, Gdc 3 was a very calm water birth, filmed from over her shoulder by SiL, so we did see that later. It was also shown to the elder siblings, only 3 and 4 at the time, which I thought a v good idea.

People who check your bags in supermarkets. I know they have to do it but the attitude of some leaves a lot to be desired. I went to one out of my usual area and I felt like asking if they would like to do a strip search as well. Never going there again, rude woman.

They don't do that here nanna8 shock

Some of the things I hear about that are happening in Australia make me worried that you are becoming an authoritarian state.

Not so much becoming as ‘are’! Especially in Victoria under the Chairman Dan.
