minor things that make you fume

Automatic scanning machines, Airport carparks.
I usually book online, turn up, credit card in the slot, drive in give it to the valet guy, walk away.
Then the reverse...simples as they say.
Now they've closed down the valet section...Covid...and the furlough stopped...8, 10, a dozen? jobs gone.
Also No card now...Covid?...they changed to a QR thingy on your phone
And before the inevitable...but sometimes a little true, Tory jibes come in, it's much shorter for mrs degsy to walk.

Anyway I set off, but the QR thing wont let me in, the clocks ticking, much button pushing It gives me a ticket and I'm in.
So I return and low and behold our luggage is 5th and 6th off the carousel...unheard of...then we spend 20 mins trying to find where the car is, So all in all, no net gain.
7N, I made a note but thats over the other side...I miss the valet thing.
Mrs degsy getting fed up, me too.
All the way down, past the deserted valet section and back up to the other half of the car park...who knew there was two??
Did I mention I miss the valet guys and girls AND Mrs degsy really pissed off?
Bleeping the bleeper - yay there we are over there...7N like I thought.
QR thing in the scanner...nothing, it tells me I never came in...then why the 'k am I the wrong side of the barrier then??
I have to pay again to get out...now Mrs degsy is Really pissed off.
Tomorrow and for weeks no doubt, fight them to get my dosh back.

Fumin, worse than the Benitez thread here.

Airports are hell on earth, I feel sympathy for everyone who works there and it’s not helped by everyone getting ripped off at every available opportunity. I’ve paid more on parking than I have on actual flights before.
Actually the baggage handlers look like they have a laugh.
 
Liverpool City Centre today.

Hordes of stag and hen parties, far left political demos in Church Street and far right demos in Williamson Square.

Another is fruit juice cartons. The customer has to puncture a plastic tab which swings open to reveal a spout.
I defy anyone to do this without spilling product. Even the pouring outlet is positioned for maximum leakage.
Note that I'm using technical type lingo in order to sound cool and detached. It's better than effing and blinding.

Not as lethal as frey bentos tins though @Ashtonian

Both have potential for death, this increases if you dare to eat the contents.

I got in a bit worse for wear one night in my youth, evidently I'd cooked up a Fray Bentos and slammed the pastry lid betwixt 2 slices of overly buttered tiger bread and went to bed. I found some of it badly savaged in the morning.

Probably would have got away with it if the dog wasn't there, he licked the pan all round the living room ensuring that the spray of the contents found its way into the carpet/settee/skirting boards etc. Kind of sums up what you're digging into after that delicious puff pastry.

Yes mate, the pastry is like a guilty pleasure , but the filling is a lottery.
