It's The Little Things That Get To You

[Tilly2]

Why is it that whenever I try to open a tin of tomatoes with a pull ring on the top, the pull ring always comes off and I have to get the tin opener out?
That really gets to me!

The blooming corned beef tin with it's own little key makes me cross Tilly, as do the little seals under the milk bottle tops....buggers they can be !!

Like most "Tear here" instructions on paper and cardboard packaging - they USUALLY DON'T WORK.

[Tilly2]

..............and when you do manage to 'tear here', the whole bag rips open.

Because if they made the ring pull really firmly attached to the lid it would need great strength to detach the lid and it would come away suddenly...the tomatoes would leap out of the tin..with all the juice...covering much of the kitchen...the pile of ironing you have just done and the new white tee shirt you are wearing.
How do I know this?.....:-(

[Tilly2]

I've got that tee shirt, Gness.

Cellophane wrapped cards

[flump1]

Ladies razor thingies you can't get out of the plastic wrapping....

[Tilly2]

Those cellophane wrapped cards don't do your teeth any good do they?

One Weetabix left in the packet..............one?

[askyourgran]

[Psybbo]

Bloo for the loo

Like opening a tin of plum tomotoes tonight and finding that they are chopped ones instead!!!I bought 4 the other day with my eyes shut lol

[Tilly2]

Don't use your teeth for Bloo!

[Tilly2]

I've done that, pusskin.

[Psybbo]

Quilt covers with buttons, where have the press studs gone?

[Tilly2]

Yes, Psybs. Especially the hidden buttons. Really fiddly and irritating.
