That I have to wait for the kettle to boil and I don’t have one of those boiling water taps

people who text or post on social media with zero capital letters and zero punctuation marks you have to deliberately type like that your phone will at least suggest a capital letter at the start of the message

I really hate filling in job applications. Trying to come up with ‘examples’ of how you meet the person spec is such tedious bullshit.

Sharing a Spotify account with my husband and trying to stream stuff at the same time on different devices I was happily listening to music earlier singing along then all of a sudden it changed to a football podcast. We usually then get into a battle of each of us taking control back and forth and changing songs etc until one of us gives in

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

Accidentally opening it when you’re trying to avoid. God I hate when that happens.

I'm currently sitting under a blanket, why is it too hot with the blanket on and too cold with it off, there's no winning lol

When you want a hot dog so bad, then open the ketchup bottle and a little water comes out... ah!! LOL

OMG, I'm flicking between threads and thought for a minute that I was on the dating thread and that was a euphemism

The underfloor heating being too hot …

Packing for your lovely holiday and agonising on how to cut down on what you are bringing.

I love my partner but some nights I really just want the bed to myself because he gets in the way of me trying to sleep with his snoring and breathing loudly/on me. Also not being able to starfish which is my favourite way to get to sleep unfortunately. He went away for a few nights over the summer and it was glorious lots of star fishing was done.

If/when we ever win the lottery then we’re going to get 2 super king size beds and push them together to make one massive bed. Never have to worry about encroaching on each other’s sides or snoring in each other’s ears then!

People knocking on the door instead of ringing the doorbell.

Or people who knock, then ring, then knock, then ring all within 10 seconds - give me a chance to get there!

The number of different light switches in hotel rooms. There’s lamps, walls lights, reading lights and ceiling lights. Which one do I switch off in bed to put them all out without switching the rest back on

Read an article on fb about a teenage girl having time off for period pains and the school having a problem with it. Awful I thought, I’ve been there - my period pains were the worst for the first few years and I could barley function whilst on. Made the mistake of reading the comments and wow. So many people backing up the school and making uninformed comments along the lines of “what’s she going to do when she goes to work?” “she should go to the doctor to sort it out”. I mean really are people this thick? There’s barely any treatment available for period pains, doctors don’t even want to go to the bother of finding the root cause of it. It’s just seen as something we have to put up with. We might get offered hormonal contraceptives, but although that can help, it often doesn’t treat the root cause of the pain. Not to mention many contraceptives come with their own list of unpleasant side effects.

I should really know better than to read any comment section on Facebook, it does nothing to improve my mood.

Thinking you've been charging your phone but not noticing it unclipped when you put it down. So you go back an hour later it's still dead
Prices of alcohol beverages (in the pubs/bar) going up by 10p
Contactless card randomly deciding you need to put your pin in this time when there's a queue behind you
Getting mad at games on your phone
So many channels but absolutely nothing on
Deliveries being delayed by a few days
The supermarket having no loaves of bread so you have to buy rolls instead
