Catching your sleeve on a door

    Getting a hug, wearing comfy underwear and being told that you look thinner come out top amongst the simple things that make women happy. I'm not sure how many of these are applicable to us special girls but here is a list of some of the everyday events or things that women find frustrating.

    1. Catching your sleeve on a door handle
    If you wanted to do this, you’d never be able to in a million years, so how come every door handle is a stealth sleeve catcher?

    2. Not being able to pull your boots or wellies off
    One of life’s mysteries is why boots and wellingtons can go on with such ease but have to be removed by a two-man team. Or even a two Tgirl team?

    3. Cashpoint dawdlers
    You want to withdraw £20 and go, but you are stuck behind somebody who is checking their balance, ordering a mini-statement and repeating the process on another two cards.

    4. Men who sit with their legs apart on public transport
    At some point in her life every woman will find herself crushed next to a man on a train who insists on sitting with his feet four feet apart while she is crunched into a corner. I would add to this Tgirls who sit like men with their legs apart and an upskirt view no one wants to see.

    5. Scratchy clothes labels
    They rub, itch and make you seethe. You will invariably cut the label out — making a huge, great hole in your new jumper or dress.

    6. The ‘stand still’ brigade
    These are the people who get to the top of an escalator and stop. Undoubtedly the same people who also stop dead in the middle of a pavement or a shop doorway.

    7. ‘Peel here’ packaging
    It takes for ever to separate the tab from the cellophane and then merely peels off a tiny slither of plastic, leaving you to angrily tear it open with a knife And then you cut yourself and need to find a plaster.

    8. Getting fluff on nail Polish
    You’ve done a perfect paint job when a speck of fluff appears from nowhere and settles in the middle of one nail, meaning you have to start again because, as we all know, it is impossible to remove nail varnish from just one nail.

    9. ‘You don’t mind coins do you?
    Always uttered when the assistant is already unloading 19 pound coins into your hand.

    10.Useless ribbon loops sewn into clothes
    Supposedly they’re for ease of hanging but all they ever do is pop out of your clothes and flap around your neck. And then break if you use them to hang the darn thing up.

    I am sure you all have lots of other pet hates and annoyances - like almost finishing your eye make up and smudging the mascara.

    hugs

    That just about covers my "pet peeves" I particularly fume over the people who insist on pushing in front of you when walking in a crowd and then stopping dead for no obvious reason xxx

    I don't like ladettes. Not sure on the spelling, but for some reason I detest them swearing, spitting and acting like the roughest type of male there is. It just leaves me cold.

    People picking their nose in the car/public.

    Dirty public toilets.

    It's not just the stand still brigade, it's the weavers that get me. Walk slower than most but insist on making way for something two blocks down and always right in front of you.

    Really really slow drivers that virtually stop when another car comes towards them.

    Tractors that won't pull over to let the traffic come past.

    Annoying answers like "PASS" when a simple reasonable answer "i dont know, but someone else might" would be more reasonable x

    Small holes in pavements that are exactly the width of a stiletto heel.

    Tiny tiny writing on washing instructions that you need a tunnelling electron microscope to read.

    Ice cubes in shapes other than cubes.

    £9.99 - Just call it a tenner, please. You're not fooling anybody.

    Driving an automatic when I'm used to a clutch. I nearly went through the windscreen when I needed to change gear.

    People who use street grit to do their drive - that's my council tax you're spreading on your drive - and where are you going to go when you get off your drive? The road's icy!

    Not being able to write more than 8,000 words in this little bo

    1) People who drive with their rear fot lights on at about 90 - derr you think it's foggy enough that people won't be able to see you the back of your car but you can go at that speed?
    2) Zips on bags which are just the right height to snag your clothes or ladder your hosiery - grrr!
