Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

I'll have a look and see. Thanks.

Same place as the eye hospital? Royal Victoria eye etc .... I call to see when they are sending out my annual checkup apt when it's late. I usually get through and ask for outpatients. And try in the morning.

Also, check the consultant they've stuck on the letter and Google to see if they are a nose specialist.

Most gov websites where you make a payment are really badly designed for phones. Usually fixed in landscape mode and the fields to enter your details are tiny.

You might need to procure a space suit Breda. 😀

Is it allowed/OK to put white glass bottles (small) in the clear glass recycling bins? I've a few going around here and they're annoying me.

A brief google didn't enlighten me.

They aren't clear glass. Any glass that isn't clear or green goes in the brown glass bin. I need somewhere to get rid of my blue gin bottles :-)

Not really, if you’re training for a marathon you need to train in all weather, never know what it’ll be like on race day.

If you’ve never ran in rain and it’s torrential on the day of the marathon do you just not run after months of training?

Why is simple stuff with literally zero effort, like calculating figures for a tax return, such a hard thing to do ?

Answer: fear of underpaying or overpaying tax.

PAYE

Pay as you expire

Really nice fleece on a website I’m looking at. Problem is some fashion brands I’m L, others XL… had an old fleece of theirs that is about 15 years old, but I can’t find it anywhere, must have dumped it in the charity bag. I hate buying online and stuff not fitting. Returning stuff if bought online is a colossal inconvenience, a pain.

Remember when you could call over to your neighbours and borrow little bits like sugar, butter, milk, teabags if you were stuck?

It has fallen out of fashion a few years now.

I was on a main road earlier and this ninny very slowly pulls out of a drive scrolling on his phone the whole time, never even glanced up to check for traffic.

Had to lean on the horn and swerve, just missed hitting him. Then the mouthbreather had the audacity to blow his horn back at me after almost killing us both!

He had one of those high-pitched, weedy sounding horns, so I claim the moral victory.
