Eating places that plonk the steak (or whatever) on top of everything else instead of off to the side.
that reminds me that I get irritated if my food is served on a wooden or slate board rather than a regular plateEating places that plonk the steak (or whatever) on top of everything else instead of off to the side.
Little things which irritate
Little things I love
Don't know what it is but sounds painful.Mrs Malaprop rules. I had difficulty peeing but now I have had a circumferential I can pee straight again.
(Circumferential is an adjective. of, at, or near the circumference; surrounding; lying along the outskirts. lying within the circumference. circuitous; indirect: a circumferential manner of speech.)
True we can't lick our fingers anymore cus were wearing a mask.Trying to open those plastic sacks for produce but I just heard good advice on a solution. Find wet produce then wet your fingers.
This reminded me of an incident that happened in the late 1970s at the local hospital that I was employed at. My boss, the director of nursing and I were sitting in the cafeteria when the Maintenance 'Engineer' showed up and sat with us. He started telling us that his mother-in-law was recovering after having surgery to repair her ~ READY? Hymen! My boss started choking on her food from laughing so hard. He meant to say, hernia. I'll never forget ole Jim.Incorrect usage of medical terminology by lay people who are trying to appear knowledgeable. Especially when they mispronounce a body part such as larynx. Boy, does this drive me up a wall. Just use lay terms, it's ok to do so.
I am guilty of that one only too often, Gloria.When I Text a friend and much later I get a signal of a message,
I go looking for my phone to see who it is and its that person ,some time much later, posting a smiley or thumbs up
to my text, darn that irritates me.
That was me today at the grocery store. Those bags just wouldn't budge. I was so tempted to lick my fingers but knew better. I just kept tugging and tugging.True we can't lick our fingers anymore cus were wearing a mask.
A BEE HIVER! I had one here and never knew it was a thing that had a name.Yeah
Packaging
I keep a razor knife in my desk drawer for that very reason
The other small thing is TP rolls that won't start
My lady likes to get the 'cheap' (less than 250 sheets) rolls
Gotta admit, they start better, but they seem to evaporate in the hour
(she's a bee hiver)
I get the 500 or more sheet stuff
By the case
(showed her its actually cheaper)
Anyway, my stuff seems super glued at the start
Good, soft, 2 ply
Just tears odd from the get go
Live is tough
There’s always a few drops of water at the edge of the bin where vegetables are sprayed. I get the number of bags I need, dampen my finger and open them all. No licking and I’m not sticking my hand on the vegetables.That was me today at the grocery store. Those bags just wouldn't budge. I was so tempted to lick my fingers but knew better.

i could not agree more ... especially the Jimmy Dean thing ...... although most commercials these days are so filled with half truths and misleading BS it is hard to narrow down......This is for Lewkat- "larnyx".
Mine are irritating commercials..
The J D Wentworth opera on a subway car.
Jimmy Dean Sausage- stop the voice overs-the poor guy has been dead for years.
This one makes me sound like Scrooge, but.... ads for a charity hospital with kids. A kid in a wheelchair says with a donation you get 'an adorable blanket". What little kid says "adorable"? Poor kid is being used to bring in the bucks. Bah!! Hum Bug!!!!
Put the bag between your hands and rub your palms together .. works for me every time.That was me today at the grocery store. Those bags just wouldn't budge. I was so tempted to lick my fingers but knew better. I just kept tugging and tugging.
That doesn't work for me. And I look like I'm trying to summon Aladdin. If he happened to show up my 1st wish would be for that bag to open, I don't care.Put the bag between your hands and rub your palms together .. works for me every time.
That's probably better than licking your fingers after they've held onto the shopping cart handle, though. Produce is usually a long walk to the far side of the store, right?There’s always a few drops of water at the edge of the bin where vegetables are sprayed. I get the number of bags I need, dampen my finger and open them all. No licking and I’m not sticking my hand on the vegetables.
Oh. Yeah, that's a good idea.There’s always a few drops of water at the edge of the bin where vegetables are sprayed.
I can't understand why there's a bag of breakfast cereal that's at least 1/3 empty inside a Family Sized box. Those boxes get tossed into recyling soon as I get them home. The insert-tab bit usually gets destroyed when you open them anyway.Glad you asked...
1.Food packaging (all types) is HORRIBLE!
