I hate

then everyone riffs off your post rather than the earlier (better) one from user123456

Twas ever thus.

Shed punctures.

Nice ride, put bike away, next time you get it out tyre is pancake flat. Pump up just to check but no, definitely a puncture. Remove tyre and check it and rim carefully but nothing embedded or sharp.

Given frequency I’m suspecting sabotage.

A spurned mouse perhaps?

If it is then the fucker will rue the day

Trying to speak to a human at the Eastman dental hospital to see if I can move an appointment. Must have called at least 20 times this morning and they just flat out refuse to answer. Their system sometimes just rings and rings and sometimes plays hold music but always ends up transferring me back to the UCLH main telephone menu so I can listen to their Covid protocol for the umpteenth fucking time.

Handles on mugs that aren't handle shaped, fuck off with your little bike or weird gubbin to hold onto.

Like our espresso cups.

Both piss.

Put the espresso in those picardie glasses - sorted. ;)

A good friend of ours is a potter/ceramicist.

I've been arguing with her for years that a mug has to have a handle that you can fit at least three fingers into. Who the fuck wants to drink out of a mug that has 350ml of coffee in it but you can only get one finger into the handle? Would post photos but I feel that identifiably dragging a friend's work on a forum is a step too far.

Edit: Also feel quite strongly that a mug shouldn't be wider than it is tall (drinks will get cold!). Which doesn't seem to matter to the pricks who buy her work.

Those f***ing ikea things every bloody business reception has had for years.

TBF ours are wee and were a thrifted gift - swiss made in the 80s.

That’s actually what we’ve done ever since the Robot arrived.

Usually I'd agree (including my bike one)
But I sorta want a crimp mug

Edit: not so sure about the juggy one 🤔

Too small handles and weird shaped mugs that make grabbing more than one mug in your hand without spilling tea or burning your finger really difficult can fuck off too.

Too small handles

Yeah, I'm sure I picked one up the other day that I couldn't fit my index finger into. Pointless

these look great but the handle is the worst fucking design, you can only put a single finger in so it's essentially going to freely rotate down without something to stop it, the underside of the handle is angled away from your other fingers so you can't hold it in place with them so the only thing that can apply force is your thumb but there's a curve on the handle so you cant apply any force at the back of the handle where it's needed to hold it in place and stop it from dropping and to top it off the handle extends away from the cup more than normal to increase the leverage of the weight inside the cup down even more by being further from the fulcrum point making it even tougher to stop it tipping.

While we're on the subject of household items, I hate the smooth side of our towels. Why is there a smooth side? It feels like you're just smearing water around your body instead of doing the thing a towel is supposed to do.

Hate is a bit strong. Mildly irritated.

Sugru a thumb tab on them, problem solved.

look, does it or does it not rub you up the wrong way?

Fucking lol.

I use Turkish-made THIN towels almost exclusively now. My bugbear with towels is the opposite of most people; I find them too thick and absorbent which means they take too long to dry after use which means they stink much sooner.
My bath/shower towel is marketed as a hand towel but I find it big enough.
