In whinge mode

My tin hat is firmly on regarding big cars! 🪖🪖🪖

One of our cars is a very big 4 x 4, DH will keep it until it dies

I am 5’2” I can park it anywhere with ease and expertise unlike some who have trouble parking a mini within the lines in a car park therefore taking up two spaces 😡

Just love all of these 🤣🤣🤣

Every time I open a packet of pills it is ALWAYS the wrong end ie the end where the information sheet is so you can't get the pills out.

My OH would love a chieftain tank 🔫 (there used to be gun emojis)

Better put my hard hat on as I want to moan at those who moan at my big car. I need all that space - would you prefer I pulled a trailer? That would take up two parking places and make overtaking difficult. It also means we can manage with just one car between us. 🪖👷‍♀️

Gigantic cars. Honestly they are getting bigger. Tbh I don’t know why car owners don’t just drive a chieftain tank. They take up too much space in a car park and are environmentally unfriendly.

Not everyone can fit in small cars my DH has just brought an F pace and it is big but so is he at 6'4 built like a rugby scrum half with lymphadema in his legs to boot a little car would be useless. Also it's great for holidays a massive boot space.

FLIES! Those annoying bastards, some huge and buzzing like Harrier Jump Jets, that literally poke my face, get into my hair and dive bomb our cat's food dish!

It costs me £4.99 for each tin of Raid but I don't care! Got 2 tins here at work and 2 at home where I take pride in stalking the sadistic little turds!

We are finding there is no spray that works any more.
We have tried some homemade things too.

Resorted to a zapp thing.
Thankfully we have not had many flies this summer.
Not sure a zapper is that much use with lots of flies.

Tried opening windows. But not sure that more come in than go out.

And they bite more often than I remember them doing. in the past.

Couples, usually retired, who shop together with one trolley each, who then stand in front of the shelves with trollies to their right and left while they earnestly discuss the respective merits of a tin of beans, thus effectively blocking any access to any shelf of any height or width in that section.

Sorry, replying to your previous post Spuddy about the woman in the loo.

They could have asked...I would have been tempted to open it again.

I had a similar experience Spuddy on the train the other day. The window above where I was sitting was already open.

Two women got on and settled in the seat opposite and they started to mutter, then one got up, came to my seat, leaned over me and shut the window. I said, rather feebly, "It was open when I got on". The two women looked at other and one shook her head pityingly, neither replied.

My grump is idiots who try to fat shame me. ''You shouldn't have that mug of hot choc with all the trimmings, and a Full English Breakfast, you're a big girl''.

And the ''You should be wearing a nice flowery dress, not the boring black trousers'' .

For starters, I NEVER wear dresses/skirts, only trousers/leggings but if I did I wouldn't wear anything ''flowery'', I don't want to look like a mobile garden!

And mind your own bloody business with everything else too!

I've actually told people that to their smug faces!

I am surprised we dont have more things to moan about, to be honest.

I've just been to the public loo and as I was washing my hands a woman came out of the next cubicle, I politely said ''morning1'' and she literally pulled the sort of face as if I smell of rotting flesh then she walked out! Weirdo!

Another loo roll one. But all to do with the quality. Have bought Waitrose Essential for years and years. Suddenky thry have changed it...but still in the same packaging and called the same. Fewer and smaller sheets and it disintegrates in use. Rubbish and now I have a pack of 16 not fit for purpose. I have posted a complaining review as have 100s of other people. Waitrose haven't responded.

biglouise .... I love your description!

I always say I'm not moaning, I'm incredulating!

Vampirequeen, I see what you say! I always 100% wave/nod/smile or whatever at any motorists/motorcyclists or cyclists who are decent enough to stop and let me cross, and as I'm on a 4-wheeled seated Rollator or sometimes a walking stick they're always very patient as I cross as fast as I can!

Everything mentioned already including trying to get batteries from packs. The most annoying for me is while picking items from a shelf in a shop and someone stands right in front of me without saying excuse me. It’s like they think you are invisible it’s rude behaviour it really annoys me.

I know what you mean about the loo rolls! I, the female fairy always dump the roll in the recycle container which is in our kitchen with the container for plastic/glass/tins but the male fairy - my hubby - just leaves them anywhere in the bathroom even though kitchen and bathroom are next to each other!

And the same with toothbrush packs and scissor packs etc.!

You are not whinging. You are using "assertive self disclosure".

Nice one!😀

So much to whinge about haha, here’s just a few!

Too much packaging, especially Amazon,
Packaging difficult to open,
People not indicating, especially on roundabouts,
People not waving “thank you” when driving,
Delivery drivers constantly delivering to incorrect addresses
Rude people in general

Enjoy your weekend, haha

A small electric car can weigh as much as a large petrol one. Many electric cars cause more road damage and potholes and impact multi storey car parks. Doesn’t alter the fact that those massive cars are a right pain in a car park.

Oh yes, definitely this. IMO these tank-like vehicles should pay at least double the road tax. The sheer weight must surely cause more wear and tear - and there are masses of the wretched things around here.

On a more grumpy-old-bag note, American voices on TV/radio ads aimed at the U.K. In particular lately, the one for some Ford car or other, where she pronounces ‘route’ to rhyme with ‘out’!
I frequently aim very rude expletives at the radio!

I always thought we Brits are really good at moaning but we have a neighbour who married a Frenchman and she says that nobody moans like the French, they moan about absolutely everything.
So, next time you listen to one of the sexiest languages in the world and imagine the person is talking about romance/making love, the person is more likely to be moaning about thoughtless drivers and irresponsible dog owners.
