Whiskers that grow out your chin that are dead hard to pull out
These are amazing!
I mainly use mine for chin hairs; now and again I'll use my tweezers too (I bought some with a light on them which really help to find those little fuckers - the stubby blonde ones are the worst!).
HELP
Tailgating or basically bullying on the roads. Ive had some awful encounters with this. Also a few years back one of them actually smashed into the back of my car which has made me even more anxious.
FGS im already speeding get off my tail im doing my best! Stop the aggression! Normally men (sorry) i could understand if i was driving too slow but im definitely not. Im a polite, courteous driver, always make sure im in the right lane, do the speed limit (+10% i know i shouldnt speed).
Im really struggling with this its almost made me give up driving to work etc and get the bus instead but i dont want to let them win. Has anybody got any advice to deal with this? I honestly feel sick and nervous everytime it happens. I lock my car whilst im driving in it cause im scared.
If it helps, I feel like this too ... as do I'm sure lots of other people.
I second the dashcam suggestion - even if you just pop a dummy one in your front window, and a sticker on the back saying 'dashboard camera in operation' - that'll make them back off. I also have a 'Dogs on board' sticker which seems to help keep people at a good distance; a 'Baby on Board' sticker would probably do the same thing.
Not sure if anyone has posted this before but the fact that we have 5 working days and only 2 days of rest on the weekend
2 days aren’t even enough to recharge mentally and physically!
Somewhere I worked for a brief period was trialing four day working weeks (10 hours each day), with Friday-Saturday-Sunday off to recharge. It seemed like a great idea and was well received! I don't know if they're still doing it. I have a friend who doesn't work Wednesdays (works 10 hours M-T and T-F) which would be quite neat (providing you could get a decent break on your day off - you weren't expected to be on call or use it to catch up on stuff).

For anyone who's interested in my long-running dishwasher saga:
The old one was taken away yesterday and the new one (secondhand) was installed. The nice repairman offered to take it away for me - which I gratefully accepted, thinking it would be easier than having to stuff around with listing it on Marketplace for spare parts and being mucked about by people (as is often the case).
Anyhoo, he called me this morning to say he found the cause of the issues ... it seems we have had, at some point, a little mouse eat through some of the cables right at the back underneath ... so far back that it's not normally where they'd check for faults. We've had that dishwasher for years, and renovated our kitchen about four years ago, during which time we found a few carcasses (sounds gross I know, but we live in the country and previously our kitchen had a few portals for the mice to come in through). He suggested that the dishwasher was holding on but as a result of being moved when we had him in last time, it probably put further pressure on what was already holding on for dear life, causing it to break.
The new (secondhand) one is fabulous ... we are very happy!

Annoying things: On behalf of my friend - but this annoys me too - when you loan things to people and they return them in subpar condition ... dirty vacuum cleaners / carpet shampoo machines, damaged or soiled clothing ...
They never answer the bloody door hence why i asked for it to be left elsewhere!
