What bugbears do you have?

Amen to that Eloise.Also I guess the labels are good "roughage" if you accidentally swallow them.

Oh another bugbear... supermarket offers where either small packs become better value compare with big bags (e.g. Small 100g packs priced less than half the price of large 200g packs); or large packs costing less than the small pack for the same product (e.g. The 200g pack on discount costing less than the 100g pack does).

1. Fruit with stickers on it. I know it's a bloody apple or orange without the help of the labellers. What a waste of stickers and resources in general.

I'd rather have individual fruit with stickers on to identify what kind of Apple or Orange it is (and the labels are for the benefit of the checkout staff primarily not for the consumer); than have to buy all the extra packaging required for pre-packed apples.

Also the little labels tell you how it's grown , whether with pesticides, organic or genetically modified.

So that people can choose based on rumours, suspicions, lies and "feelings" regarding the benefits or  otherwise of these things. I personally avoid so-called organic produce where I can, preferring GMO as the best option in most cases.

Those dizzy flying daddy longlegs which seem to be everywhere at the moment.  

 Funny enough I was watching one flying about the living room the other night which had a dust bunny ( fluff ball ) attached to its leg, and failed to notice the angst my other half was experiencing. After not really doing anything about it immediately and then being shouted at, I guess I had a cluster fxxk of bugbears.

Another bugbear ... "Breaking News" alerts when they are not important.  Angelina Jolie divorcing Brad Pitt is NOT breaking news!

I'm afraid that this is one thing that really gets to me too - I live in the New Forest and generally have doors / windows open in the evening so they do get in and I have a handheld cordless vacuum whose main purpose in life is getting rid of these hateful things but for some reason they illicit a completely uncontrollable gag reflex response from me especially if they fly into any part of me.
