Things that make you go Grrrrrr!!

[tangey]

Lor glass coffee jar.

Worst example ever of form over function.

The glass lid is nearly impossible to remove from the Jar, such that if you use brute force, a significant portion of the contents can end up shooting out all over your worktop, or you get it off a little bit and then you have to use a teaspoon to prise it off the rest.

And if you decide to only put the lid semi down to make it easier to get off next time, when you go to lift the jar, 50% chance that you grip it mostly by the lid and it comes off and guess what, a significant portion of the contents ends up all over your worktop.

Grrrrr!!

I have had similar problems with Douwe Egberts coffee jars too tbf... luckily only covered my kitchen counter in instant coffee once so far though. I like to keep hold of the jars and store other stuff in them though, so worth the squeeze

Anything that is 'bathroom' related is always packaged in a way that makes it impossible to open with wet hands, my pet peeve are toothbrushes which are challenging to open even with scissors

I don't think I've ever had a toothbrush where the backing isn't card and just peels open.

TV channels that you have to turn up the volume more than usual to hear what's being said then get deafened when the ads come on!! Sky used to be terrible for this when we used to subscribe to them.

The fact that due to freezing of the tax bands, pay increases that are below inflation when you roll up the past three years, disposable income is significantly squeezed. Then everything you use that disposable income on is also much more expensive.

Yet apparently Starbucks can operate it's UK business at a loss and not pay tax due to paying royalty fees to it's parent business.

Starbucks’s UK retail business paid no corporation tax last year

US-owned coffee chain dived to £35m loss after paying £40m in royalty and license fees to parent company
