The wind up

Are there any small things that really wind you up? They could easily be solved but nobody seems to bother.
At this moment in time I am woundering why, nearly all of those ceramic pots that are imported into this country,- you know the ones I mean, those brightly coloured glazed ones,- seem to become narrower at the top.
Have you ever tried to remove a specimen plant from one, its impossible without a hammer.

 

Or the baked clay strawberry planters - the worst thing I ever bought - a pain to plant, and the strawberries don't do well in them either

 

People who leave my front gate open so next door's dog can get in and chase my geriatric cat!

 

super douper improved more expensive seed varieties of plants....that are no better than the old type

 

What about people, who park the wrong way round at the supermarket, and then try to squeeze the trolley between their car and yours to get to the boot.
Guess which one they scratch.

 

My teenage sons who drink all the juice from the bottle apart from about half an inch from the bottom and put it back in the fridge to save them going all the way to the bin

 

Who puts those bits of plastic and milk bottle tops and elastic bands in the kitchen waste bin that appear when I spread the compost on the garden....c'mon who

 

Slug pellets. Have you ever hit a slug with one? Grrr :D

No, but I find that if you hit them with the container they tend to die. This is my four year olds favourite method of slug control, though her favourite is squishing aphids, greenfly etc between her fingers.

 

Such a well trained child, does she do house calls :D

 

But I forgot to mention that my roses are picked from the stems when mere buds (for mummy you know) my apples tend not to stay on the tree til ripe if she can lay her hands on a garden cane three feet or longer, she picks my asters and then "replants" them, she prefers the contents of her sand pit on the lawn as opposed to the pit and her latest is bringing handful after handful of fuschia seed pods into the kitchen and squishing them open on the table!

 

Thats similar to the person who insists on reversing into a space between to cars, when there's lots of space elsewhere, but they might have to walk a few yards further

 

If you don't want other drivers to park too close to you, do what my mate does - he uses the white lines that divide the parking bays as a guide for the centre of his car !

 

Thats the sort that wind me up. :D
