I agree Irene. This is my pet hate too. If I didn't have my husband to deal with that matter I'd have to ask the checkout operator or packer to unscrew the tops for me as I just can't open them. I don't know if it's a lack of strength but I just can't manage it.

Thanks Chris - I am glad I am not the only one. Fortunately Hubby opens them for me. So everything is partially unscrewed, which is even more dangerous.
And Bev, your comment re sticky labels. Why on earth do they sell these appliances with these huge sticky labels that leave horrendous marks when you remove them? I don't want them to stay on and to be constantly reminded of the energy saving. My washing machine was a major to remove the residue, and there is a small section where you can still see marks. I used all the recommended products for sticky residue, and nothing worked on one small section. It really bugs me seeing it every day

Touche Lorna!! And shall I add to it, a glued on crumpled $5 note, a child proof cap - and call it an art installation labelled 'Frustration'

Those talking about sticky residue after label removals, etc, have you tried De-solv-it (it's orange oil - very safe; you can even use it on your skin). [www.mitre10.co.nz] I've found it pretty useful and agree with all the other people on foodlovers who have recommended it in the past.

Hi J1... yes, a sI have De-solv-it, and also another product mentioned on FL previously. Then George brought home some heavy duty degreaser from work. Of course we waited between each product, but there is that one patch of sticky grey residue, that won't budge

Irene, would you consider using as minimal amount of liquid Jif as you can get away with to remove it? In my experience, it may well work but if you have to rub heavily it might result in a permanent dull surface patch - which might be more acceptable and less visible than the sticky patch anyway..

My pet hate, noisy eaters. I have misophonia, and the sound of mouth noises is a real trigger for me. It's even worse if the person is someone I like! I work with a woman who gulps her drinks, crunches nuts, fruit and salad all night... she's a lovely woman, but I dread my shifts with her. Can't stand mouth noises on TV either, kissing scenes make me want to heave.

Irene, given that the usual suspects have not worked, what I would be inclined to do with your sticky grey patch is to give it a nudge with a glass scraper- the razor blade type that you take paint spots off windows with or remove stubborn spots off ceramic cooktops..Provided the blade is sharp and you are careful to just skim the surface without digging in to it, I think you might be pleasantly surprised. You may or may not need to dampen said sticky spot first - see how you go.

People who open a packet of biscuits or crackers and just shove them in the cupboard without putting them in a sealed container.
People who take the last item out of a container and then put the container back in the fridge/cupboard.
Non bubbly water when it is supposed to be bubbly. As Vanessa says, drink it all at once.
Children who put their school uniforms in the laundry last thing Sunday night and expect that they will be clean for Monday morning....
Phew that got a load off.

I never knew there was a word for this. I just thought I was weird and intolerant. I have strong physical reactions to repetitive noises (and songs), whispering, people talking when they need to clear their throat, people slurping drinks, and more..
Thank you - I don't feel quite so odd about it now.

Helen, I love my husband dearly, but I could kill him when he eats cereal, or an apple or sometimes even a sandwich. Seriously, I get tense, my jaw clenches, my hands ball themselves into fists....I end up leaving the room to avoid screeching at him. I also have several people at work who I can't be in the same room with when they eat. I realise it's my problem, so I'd never say anything to anyone, but I do have to leave the room.

There are lots of very real psychological conditions and disorders that aren't illnesses. Just because they manifest in the mind rather than other areas of the body doesn't make them any less significant to the sufferers. In days gone by, what we now consider to be serious mental illnesses were considered by the medical profession, and the general public, to be people simply behaving badly, being of weak mind or nervous disposition. Thankfully we've moved on from those times.

We learn something every day. I never knew there was a name for it, either. I don't like noisy eaters or slurpers but the effect on me really depends on whether or not I am having a bad hair day.
I can relate to a lot of what annoys others and further to your comment about screwed up notes, Barbara Anne, I will also add taking money from someone who has been holding it in their teeth, no wonder germs go around so quickly.
At the moment the biggest turn-off for me is when people cannot hold a conversation without checking their phone all the time. It's even ahead of speaking with someone who keeps looking anywhere but at me.
ps I'm not perfect either and am not about to fess up about my faults.
