Steve Shaw BS: Life's Little Irritations (75* d) RE: BS: Life's Little Irritations 14 Nov 17


Lots of things simply don't work very well but we put up with it. There is too much bloody Velcro on my waterproof on that flap that covers the zip. It sticks to itself when I'm trying to undo the zip and it sticks to my jumper, etc. Pain in the 'arris. And don't get me started on zips with two bits at the bottom end that have to be perfectly lined up before they'll do up. My so-called "intelligent" windscreen wipers are actually as thick as pigshit, capriciously and randomly coming on full-tilt in the merest drizzle, or not coming on at all when it's peeing down, especially with big drops. And my automatic headlight setting does not turn the lights on in fog when they need to be on but insists on turning them on in low sunlight. There's a trend to make toothpaste tubes out of very thick plastic which makes it a Herculean task getting the last two doses out of it. And why are the first two or three sheets on every bog roll or roll of kitchen towels completely useless? How come boxes of tissues either tear the tissue you're trying to pull out, separate the plies of the tissue or deliver two or three when you only want one? And what bloody COMEDIAN invented the plastic swing-top bin? And what's the point of washing your hands in public bogs when you have to grab a big contaminated metal handle to get out of the toilets?
