First World Problems

[BonBon27]

My tumble dryer has been broken since 18th Dec. I know I’m lucky to have one and lots of people survive without them, but I’m used to having it and it’s pissing me right off having all the wet washing absolutely every bloody where!

What's your first-favourite appliance?

Definitely my electric blanket .

I had my last one for nearly twenty years then the dial broke. It was a Creda which they don’t make anymore but I’ve learned not to bother buying complicated appliances so I got a Hoover vented one for just over £100 that’s quite similar and I’m chuffed with it. It’s much faster than my old one and made in the UK too.

Mine is a Hotpoint. The guy is coming with the part he needs on Tuesday so If he tells me he can’t fix it then I might actually lose my shit!

Never know what to say to this. Do they want a genuine answer or..?

I read an intervew book you're supposed to turn it round into a positive. perfectionist = attention to detail and want work done to a high standard. Interviews for me always felt like I was acting.

Not opening the messenger app/WhatsApp to avoid a conversation and I don’t want it to say I’v been online, but the red notification annoys me

Yes! I've got a few people to get back to but I just don't have the mental energy to talk to anyone right now.

I'm never sure about what I'm supposed to do with cookies.

If they aren't ' ticked' and you press reject all , does that mean you have accepted them ?

Theoretically it should reject them all, even if they're not ticked. But in practice... who knows!

Mine's waist length too, (well overdue a cut) but it would literally takes hours if I just leave it to dry itself.

I alone in my house, need the bathroom and there’s a delivery due and I just know the delivery will come as soon as I’m not available

Also agree with the hair thing. Washing my hair isn’t a problem it’s the aftermath. My postman normally arrives at the exact time I’m having a hair washing moment which necessitates a longer shower.

My reed diffuser doesn't have a strong enough scent - what a waste.

Not sure if this is allowed but try the home County candle Co. I really rate theirs

Being asked to read a legal agreement or disclaimer every other day.

Coke Zero is awful, my corner shop had (somehow) run out of Diet Coke, I bought Coke Zero thinking it was the same

TBH I'm a weirdo who prefers pepsi max out of the lot.

Got a wedding reception to go to that doesn’t start until 7pm. I’ve already done my errands for today and It’s driving me mad just sitting waiting for the time to come.

I’m on the school run listening to a really good audio book and my AirPods have died

My childrens parents evening appointments have been changed from face to face to via video link because of covid. A video chat with the teacher just isn’t the same as having an in person conversation where I can look through their work books and stuff. Im so sick of this now. When will it end.

The cat wolfed down a pouch of Whiskas and then puked on the stairs. The only place in the house that has carpet.

My dog is always sick on the carpet, pisses me off!

My mum visits me on a Wednesday (I'm disabled and mum helps me with stuff) and hadn't text me to tell me she was on her way. she knocked on the door mid wee. Annoying!

Trying to keep calm when my tablets, phones and laptops keep on asking for updates or permissions to do things. And when they do an update it sometimes breaks something like a favourite app I like.

Or that the people who make Android stop supporting an old version of Android which means some new apps will not install on my phone. Meaning I might have to buy a new phone just to use the app.

I feel you on this.

I still have an iphone 5 which is around 8 years old . Two banking apps stopped working and I would also like a new phone for this reason but not given in yet as mine is still getting the job done .

Trying to remove sticky labels on new plastic containers

Rub them with some baby oil or olive oil and they should come off easily

My FWP - I live outside all McD's delivery zones

Does sound abit suspect over the timing, don't blame you for not wanting it redelivered!
I noticed on the Tesco website their delivery charges have changed, was £4.50 for any slot, now it's between £2 and £7!

I have delivery saver with tesco 6.99 a month for unlimited deliveries. I signed up as I like my shopping delivered on a Sunday for the coming week and definitely wasn't going to pay £7 for 1 delivery.

I tried midweek deliveries but found we had so much food waste as we don't have packed lunches at weekend etc. So for me delivery saver is worth it
