Downstairs neighbours complained that my alarm clock was going off too early.

Funnily enough I agree.

People that have no sense of personal space...

Just stand back a bit, bunter!

Oh, and another thing...
Pre-booked train tickets that can be collected from a ticket machine but not from a manned ticket window on a route that doesn't have ticket machines but does have manned ticket windows. Anusses.

That'd have been anti-social and could have polluted the bacon n' egg.

For the 7000th time, the traffic on the M62 circa the M6 junction. Closed due to an accident.
Two hours to get home and that's pre rush hour.

Teapots. Yes, fckg teapots.

They have 2 requirements ;
i. they are watertight .... ie. can hold the water/tea.
ii. they pour.

How fckg difficult can it be to design one to fulfill these requiements ?

Typically (i) is achieved reasonably well.
(ii) however appears to be beyond the wit of man. Pouring tea almost inevitably leads to a trail of liquid onto the work surface/table/cloth as well. The long spout ones work to an extent but the short or no spout ones are bllx.

I may begin a facebook page, a march, occupy a public place .... or simply grumble. I've not decided yet.

In a similar vein, and I know this has been posted before...but toasters that can actually fit a whole piece of Warby's bread in.
How fckin hard can it be?

Playing games through their child. They can find 1,000 justifications, all in the end overtaken by the simple point that they are attention seeking nutcases who will have fckd their child up.

I simply can't imagine his reaction when he tries to use a tea-pot and gets tea all over his tu-tu.

Only old people use teapots - and only REALLY old people get wound up about them. ;)
