    Tesco bags of Bread Flour are superglued down and much harder to open tidily than 'premium' brands.

    I hate those ring pull cans too - but the worse ones are the square tins of corned beef. Even using a wooden spoon to lever with, I still couldn't pull the dratted lid off one the other day - had to resort to can opener. Grrrrrrrrr

    The fairies that come into the house and move keys/shoes/mobiles etc, when you're in a real rush. :D

    Pull the key the wrong way first - then pull back the way you'd normally do.

    I did squeaky :) - I think it's because they are those squarish tins - they are much harder than round ones.

    I now know why pepole buy corned beef from the deli :) My mum is disabled and there is no way she could open a tin on her own - which is why she waits until someone else is there. She may have to pay the deli premium if she fancies a quick corned beef sarny and there's no-one else there to help her :D

    pots of yoghurt that splash all over you when you pull the lid off.

    I now turn them away from me so now my husband gets splahed across the table :rotfl:

    I hate it when somebody leaves the tiniest amount of milk in the bottom of the bottle and puts in back into the fridge.......or the other one is half a sheet of toilet roll on the tube rather than change it for a new one!

    It is also "really great" when you look in frrezer or fridge and think that you are o.k. for something because there is a box of it in there - only to find after shopping - that it is "empty" :eek:

    Those square sardine tins.The tin opener always gets caught at the corners and splashes the juice everywhere.
    People who are in such a hurry to get out of the supermarket car park that they hurl abuse at everyone or threaten to run them over,just so they can get to the road where they must wait at the traffic lights anyway.
