What's Your Annoying S*ds Law?

Don’t you put your food waste in black bags before adding to the bin?

The usual. Butter sided bread landing face down.

I only ever misplace my car keys when there's an emergency & I need to go out urgently.

No our food waste goes in a food caddy (in the kitchen) with a biodegradeable liner then into the green outside food bin when full.

Whichever way round I put my knickers in the wash, they all come out inside out! Grr!

I regularly catch a train home from the city centre. Looking up at the departure board, I either have one and a half minutes to get through the barrier and down the escalator, or one has just left…
(There’s one every fifteen minutes, so shouldn’t complain)

So does mine but the compost heap rather than a bin. I was just wondering why you disinfect your bin but then I suppose caddy bags leak now and again.

Why, when walking to the bus stop for the "every 10 minutes" bus, does the bus pass me when I am on the wrong side of the busy road (so can't run for it).

Why, when I do get to the bus stop for the "every 10 minutes bus" is the next one not coming for 25 minutes?

Two things that happened to me today - can you add to the list?

Why do I run out of cling film in the evening when I had my weekly grocery delivery that morning? (They should put a red tab on it or something so that you know when you're nearly out)

Why do I decide to have fish complete with bones for dinner when I've emptied, disinfected and dried my rubbish bin in the afternoon?

Or oranges 🤦‍♀️

I'm a nursing instructor.

Why do all the interesting skills come up as needing to be done RIGHT when we are supposed to be going for break or going off shift?

(Our institutional policy is that students MUST have two 30-minute breaks during shifts, and that the instructor and all students have to go on break together.)

A hook will catch on everything in (and, especially, out of) sight, but not on what you want it to.

- The tea caddy needs filling when it’s my turn to make a cuppa.
- The bin needs emptying when I’m putting things in it (not really surprising this one, DH just keeps pushing things down) .
- If someone phones me my mobile is in the car, if it’s in the house I don’t get a call.
- If I need help in a shop, the assistant suddenly goes deaf and needs to walk quickly in the opposite direction.
- Ditto in restaurants when we want to order or get the bill.
- The delivery van will come and go if I go into the back garden for 2 minutes.

More topically,
- if we go to the beach it’s high tide (ok, because we didn’t consult tide tables).
- If I don’t take a sun hat and sunscreen on a walk because it’s cloudy, the skies will clear and the sun beat down.
- If I leave washing ready to hang out, in the morning it will be raining, even in this drought!
I think I should have a ‘grumpy old woman’ t-shirt.

That one tissue that hides up a sleeve when I do the washing.
My neighbour who always comes round to visit when I need to hoover.
Falling asleep when listening to an audible book and then having to do the, ‘Alexa, go back 10minutes,’ thing to find my place.

Losing (misplacing) something, ordering a new one only for the original to turn up, usually in a place I'm sure I looked in.

shysal ..... HA HA HA!

When I go to open a kitchen cupboard and it feels like an invisible hand has pushed my finger really hard against the cupboard handle, catching my nail painfully!

In a cafe or restaurant, trying to cut through bacon with their non-sharp knives, I cut and press, cut and press, knife still won't go through, then all of a sudden the bit of bacon I was trying to hack off shoots off the plate!

This happened to me recently. It was a book. I needed the book for an NWR meeting. Couldn't find it. Decided I'd sent it to the charity shop. Bought a second hand copy....only to discover the original book in the bookcase. I wouldn't mind, but I'd scoured that bookcase when searching for the missing book.
It's the second time I've done this!!

Mine is really really minor. We have had this dishwasher for at least ten years. It's a snazzy one that projects on to the floor below alternating signals, one showing which stage of the cycle it is at, and a few seconds later one displaying the time it still has to run. In all those years, not once have I looked down to see how long it still has to actually see the time. It is ALWAYS the flipping pot/brush/rinse symbol that I catch, and have to wait those frustrating few seconds to find out what I want to know!

Why is there always ( well, maybe not quite always) oncoming traffic when I get to the only three places safe to overtake on my half hour drive to my local town. Stuck behind a tractor, a full milk tanker or a nervous holidaymaker can mean a journey of over an hour.

Whenever I am driving in the dark somebody, who doesn't believe in the 30MPH speed limit, always drives right up my a**e with lights on full beam.

My "darling" daughter in law arriving with my nice son for a flying visit!!
She always shows-up just when my roots need doing, when I have mascara-panda eyes, when I'm a bit podgy!
In she comes like the ruddy Queen of Sheba! All long flicky-hair, perfect, expensive make-up. With, annoyingly, an expertly-created eyeliner flick!!!!
DH is rendered into a fawning prat by her mear presence.
She's gone huzzah! but I am blaming her for my migraine!
I'll have to wait until it's gone before practising my 'blooming eyeliner-flick" for the up-tinth time. Wish me luck. 😶

When I am mowing the lawn the mower cord inevitably wraps itself around one of our very few scraggy rose bushes.
If you offered me £50 grand to do this lassoing exercise deliberately, successfully I could not do it.

ClicketyClack - yes! But also when you've just completed a very tricky curved seam and then discover you did the whole thing with no bobbin thread
