Infuriating Objects

What everyday objects do you find annoying? The ones that always cause a problem?

I have two in particular,

1. Sellotape. I always lose the end of it and have to turn the roll around several times, running my nail along it, trying to find that tiny difference in thickness where the Sellotape starts. or is it ends? I actually dread using Sellotape and its big ugly sister, masking tape.

2. Clothes hangers. They always seem to get caught up with another hanger in the wardrobe and garments fall off onto the floor.

Black socks, I’ve bought a few packs from the same store.
After a few washes they’re different shades of black so I’ve given up trying to match them into pairs.

When your finished using the tape always roll a little bit back on itself so you can always find the start. Works for cello tape sello tape, masking tape, packing tape ......

I know it's my own fault for having so much stuff but the kitchen utensil drawer and the stationery cupboard both annoy the hell out of me. I can never find what I want without scrabling around in either.

The corner cupboard in my kitchen. I hate the bl00dy thing.
The hosepipe!!   You want to see me lose it within seconds. The uncontrollable hosepipe. Always getting kinks in it to cut off the water. Regularly try’s to decapitate my plants. And it’s really stiff. It has to be a very hot day before it becomes flexible and user friendly. I think it might be time for a new one.

That's OK when you actually "finish" but, when you're in the middle of taping up an envelope, cut a bit off, stick to the envelope, go back for more tape and the end has disappeared. Grrrrr.

The iron. How can the câble have that many kinks just from being unwound & plugged in? And why do I always trip over the cable?

The Potato Masher. Why does it always get stuck in the drawer when I try to open it. Sometimes, I've had to remove the drawer above in order to free the masher.

Get one of those stretch and shrink type, it’s a silicone hose in a fabric sheath so much more user friendly

The orange cable that comes with electric garden equipment, P has a long length of it, if it can tangle it will. I've lost count of the times he has had a hissy fit at it
