Erkables

We all have those little things that erk us.

Top of my list of erkables has to be the wet, cold shower curtain that sticks to you. This happens when you've stepped, shivering, into the shower, and are just enjoying the hot water flowing over you, when the cold, wet and miserable shower curtain gets sucked into the shower and sticks to you. *YELL*

Another really erkable thing is when you've got a nice fresh piece of bread which you want to spread with butter. When the butter is a little too hard it manages to rip up the whole bread while you're trying to spread it. Arg.

Third on my list today is when I've just laboured to clean the house - swept, wiped, dusted and mopped - and somehow someone manages to spill something, or walk into the newly mopped house with dirty shoes... *Clench teeth*

Arg. What erks you?

What erks me is if you are at the till and have just paid and you don't even get the opportunity to put your slip into your purse before you are kind of pushed out of the way!

You're so right, Anon. The worst is then still trying to stuff your change into your wallet - notes here, silver coins there, bronze coins there... All this while being pushed out of the way :-)

Having someone stop so close behind you at a robot that it feels as if he wants to get in the boot...
Going to the fridge to find out there's no milk or bread or butter or and NOBODY told you the stuff is finished...
Washing your car a day before it rains...
Oh, I could go on...
