Things everyone loves but you hate! #9

What are you ordering? Why not send the items together?

Lolz nothing crazy
- I'll do separate orders if I know something is easily breakable
- if you share a house/apartment with someone and something is a gift and you don't want to accidentally open it in front of them
- I've heard of awkward moments in work environments where something is not supposed to be shared/might be HR related but the receptionist opens it thinking it was general office mail

The list goes on...

It also seems dumb from an insurance pov because if something happens to the box then more items will have to be covered/at a loss.

These are really handy things. The drainage holes in my UPVC front door blocked up and these were great for cleaning the drainage hole so that water stopped flooding into my house when it rained.

Drainage hole?? Omg how do I find this thing? Two of my windows leak when it rains.

I have no idea I don’t shop there, I know they sell the regular Greggs range though. Aldi do mini chicken bakes (and steak too I think) in their Christmas range

Yes,I have had them . I just checked they do sell them but only,steak, sausage rolls and cheese and onion in mini. It's a great idea though,they make a killing with picnic hampers,if we ever get a normal summer, ever again

Vaulted ceilings. Most of the space becomes unusable because you can't stand up or fit furniture in the space. I'm not a fan of high vaulted ceilings either.

You can do that on whats app but its absolute horse shit. Instead of words it will add ....... - drives me insane

How do you do it? I’ve never seen that option

Oh yeah ... I forgot about Biscoff.

I don't mind different flavours but the manufacturers just go nuts and make everything with those flavours. I love a gingerbread latte but when they brought out Gingerbread Doritos last year, I was out.

Ermm..gingerbread doritos?! Seriously???

Arsenal losing. Mood in our house is miserable when they lose. Not a football fan myself but my husband is 🫣

I totally get this. Mood in our house is massively dictated by sports results too.

I’m not a huge fan of the Jason’s one. I like the Tesco and Sainsburys one

The Tescos sourdough no longer has the dusty crusts! My other half is livid about this as it's the only one he liked.

It's VERY hard to get on the NHS. Have a wee google and stop judging people's choices.

Not everyone lives in the UK. Have a wee google.

I don’t have a sweetheart tooth so dislike most of an afternoon tea. I’d be more on board with a savoury one!

Instagram can now transcribe voice notes which is a godsend. If Zuck could just hurry up and put the same feature in WhatsApp I’d never have to listen to one again.

AI. People are going to lose their ability to use their brains and think independently.

I think that happened years ago,but yes,there's a advert on TV at the moment,not sure what it's for,but pretty much asking what did people do before the internet

 

[rivermonster]

I'm surprised it's not a thing tbh, not my thing but with how popular Greggs is they're missing a trick not offering one

Probably too much faff to put it together when they are busy. My local one always has a queue so no staff to mess about with them.

This. Every celebration has turned into a cash grab. I'm happy for my friends' milestones but jfc how many gift registers and big expenses in a row a person can bear? And if you never get married or don't have kids, forget ever being celebrated or supported in return. Fat chance of even getting so much as a thank you text either.

After a bunch of ex-friends for whom I've forced my ever tightening budget, I'm fresh out of fucks to give. I'd rather not be invited.

The trend near me is to have a big party in a pub (no money behind the bar, everyone buys their own drinks), invite the entire village regardless of whether people know them are not, and then someone volunteers to do a collection to get some gifts. They usually end up collecting well over a grand for 'gifts'. I'm sure they don't spend anything for the party either, so it's pure profit.

It's only the last couple of years really I noticed it. It's literally been cold since last September then out the blue you get a red hot day . Am going away Monday in the UK but got a clue what to pack now

Layers, raincoat

 

[troutpout69]

Mini chicken/steak bakes, mini sausage rolls, mini pizzas, mini cheese and bacon turnovers, I’d fucking love that

I’d be all over that like a rash too! You can keep your posh cakes!

I’m not a huge fan of the Jason’s one. I like the Tesco and Sainsburys one

They were crumpets

Plastic surgery, filler, botox, etc. It's wild to me that people can just request this stuff for no reason and a doctor is like "okay!"

(exception: I think reconstructive plastic surgery is fine though).

Do you mean privately, like purchased treatments from a clinic, or NHS treatments? Or both?

 

[ReginaPhalange3]

Chillys?! I got one too with the kids and I was so happy with the little surprise

When I bought a water bottle it came with one of these straw cleaners

Both. I meant the overall concept of elective (non-reconstructive) cosmetic surgery is weird. It seems almost unethical to perform surgery for non-medical reasons. You can't even get a pair of glasses without a prescription. But people can, on a whim, go out and buy a new nose and go under general anesthesia.

Where do we draw the line? If I don't like the look of my hand, is it ethical for a doctor to chop it off for no medical reason even if I "consent"?

I mean yeah people get their penises chopped off so i don't think there's necessary a line. I guess body autonomy is a thing and something a lot of people fight for.
