What grinds my gears...

Depends what sort of flush valve unit it's got in the cistern. Some are adjustable that control how much water gets released when you flush. It maybe that it's been fitted to save water and can be adjusted.

I follow a certain clique of women on Twitter (more for comedy value). All in their 30’s/40’s, single with kids and very opinionated. 
 

It usually goes something like this….

 

Week 1 - OMG I’m going for single forever 

 

Week 2 - My requirement for a man, Over 6ft, Beard, Gym Body, Politically Aligned etc. 

 

Week 3  - He’s also got to earn more than me and have drive and ambition. 
 

Next Week - OMG I’m going to be single forever. 
 

Currently going off on Twitter about men who have foolishly dared to point out the elephant in the room. There’s been the usual pile on of their mates. 
 

Honestly if as a man you read back through their history of tweets you wouldn’t even think about approaching them.

The price paid for a “global” Premier League it seems

Those indicators on new cars that slide across instead of just flashing. It just seems overkill, a simple flash to say where you're going is all that's needed

Feckless colleagues.  We have a banking system at work which has been modified over the years to hold your hand through every single stage of the counting and banking process.  The very final step displays the number of the bag the system thinks you're putting money into, all you have to do is look at the bag and make sure it matches, this is to avoid banking money into, say, the bag which was collected on the previous collection date.  Unfortunately I've been on holiday for a few weeks and the twats have been blindly accepting the bag number without even having a bag to hand so now I've got to resolve the best part of a grand in erroneous banking tomorrow when the finance people are in. Useless pricks.

When people refer to their wife/husband/girlfriend etc. as their 'bestfriend'. Makes me want to throw up. Disgusting.

The standard of football punditry on Sky and BT. Sky's match day pundits aren't as bad as BT, but the soccer saturday panel is frankly insulting. Paul Merson, Lee Hendrie, Michael Dawson and Clinton Morrison. The IQ of that room would double if a dog walked in.

It is weird thing to say.  I knew someone once who called their spouse "mate" a lot, and wasn't entirely faithful.

You guys know you can hold the flush button down until the bowl's clear, right?

This works A BIT. I think it maybe flushes for a few extra seconds, and it does seem to help

Curling teams playing with stones that are the opposite of their national colours. Sweden and yellow should go hand in hand.

At least you can go out now though? (I think that's right as of today, isn't it?) Still sucks though, hope you feel alright!

I'm not in England and to be honest going out feeling as shit as I do is nonsense

At least you seem to have some sort of sense guilt that might prompt you to mend your ways.

 

What makes it even worse is the kids put some on their plate, then add more before they've finished the first lot and THEN leave some.

 

They're monsters, I don't know what we've created

I am indeed working on it. My choice of sauces for the most wastage seem to be tartare and horse radish, both of which cost an eye watering amount over here. 

 

I blame my parents

Mrs. FFF's texts.

Often done in hurry and full of typos plus a generous sprinkling of incorrect 'auto corrects'.

This renders them incomprehensible. Even Bletchley Park would have trouble deciphering them.

Of course what I shouldn't do, but usually do do, is call her back and say I didn't understand a word of that text.

It's then ME that gets my ear chewed off!

That sounds a familiar problem (ex-wife).

 

Perhaps you could avoid chewed ears but still make your point by sending "auto-corrected" texts in return:

e.g. For "I'm sorry, love, didn't understand last message", you could send "I'm Sarah's lover, donut underwear last massage".
