What's your pet hate? Do you have a regular annoyance in daily life that always gets your blood boiling, which you would like to consign to oblivion? Other people excluded!
Mine (today) is printers. I've just spent nearly half a bloody hour trying to print one postage label. First it came out only half printed, so I ran the print head cleaner thingy, but it took another two or three rounds of cleaning to actually get the test print to look OK.
So I go to print my one document - the one document I need to print - and then it says it's out of bloody paper.
I'm convinced these things are the epitome of the malice of inanimate objects, and I hate them!

People who drive 10 mph under the speed limit for five miles, backing up traffic on a two-lane road ... and it ain't even Sunday. |

Facebook. I've felt obliged to go on it to deal with some local issues, and it's just utterly toxic.
I'm not the type to wail on about "my mental health", but it makes me so angry that people can be so pathetic.
It was the case for about 6 months, but this week I've deleted it again.

I use it out of necessity, likewise for local issues and news, but I certainly don't display my entire life on it, and don't have any personal details on my account page. |
