That's why I tend to have a pack of fresh tortellini in the fridge - takes a minute to cook, add some pesto and a bit of cheese, dinner is served.

Nibbles, that what you need. Its always difficult when shopping to buy enough of them as your often in a, eaten recently so the site or thought of food does not appeal but you need to force yourself to indulge.
you name it , the benefit comes late when you either get in late, either from work or the pub,or in my case, being a compulsive 2am snacker, their there to save your day.

The wonderful feeling of opening the cupboard or fridge, knowing you´ll find something nice...bliss.

I was just reflecting on the days when I shared digs, it was an eye opener but one of the things that used to **** me off was when you went to the fridge and some lazy individual had eaten your food.
We all had a shelf each , some of your so called house mates lived on takeaways and no doubt when such convenience food outlets were closed their visit to the fridge inevitably resulted in them having a empty shelf because they were bone idle.
They would eat others food without so much of a thank you, I will pay you back and to add insult to injury they would leave their dirty plate for others to wash up.

Gaudeamus igitur...student days.

Why? Why do you need to "force yourself to indulge"? If you're not hungry then by definition you don't need to eat.

Ugh, flatsharing. Bring back very bad memories.

To indulge can be said as becoming involved in an activity, typically one that is undesirable or disapproved of.
If your not hungry then by indulging you are engaging on a action which is alien to your senses or needs.

PH: cooking competition-type programmes (triggered in this case by MasterChef) where the contestants (and in particular Britain's Best Dish since they are all professional ) ... where the flippin' contestants make ice-cream...

And then are surprised that their ice-cream is a disaster.

Ice-cream has to be made 24 hours in advance as any fule kno.

Job ads that don't actually tell you what the job *is*. I refuse to apply for them.

I hate those too. But I apply for them because then I have more stuff to put on my Jobseekers' form for the DWP.

Totally agree with that one. I also ignore them. If they don't say what the job is, then chances are it's some rubbish 'marketing' (i.e. door to door sales) job. I aint going to waste my time listening to a sales pitch just to find out what the job is. I read so many job ads, that I scan each one in a second or two. If no key-words catch my eye, I ignore it.

PH; websites that you login to, but the text on the page is fixed (static, rather than dynamic is the terminology I think?), so it still has 'login' or 'register here' buttons all over the place.

It means I'm never sure if i'm logged in or not, without searching for my logon name somewhere obscure on the page.

Which? and Lovefilm are two offenders that spring to mind. Is it really that hard to hide all the register and login buttons to folk who've actually logged in ?

Oh, I could give so many about job ads. Like saying the pay is "0k - 75k p/a"

Or the pro rata BS. Or the annualised hours BS.

Or the fact that more and more "job ads" are actually ads preventing job creation, because they are jobs for which you are "only eligible if you have been unemployed for 26 months or more". And for which you earn somewhere between feck all and the price of the bus ticket, but no longer count as a NEET, but the philanthropist who takes you on pays a lot less then he should, even if he was paying minimum wage.

Sorry, this isn't petty, is it?

Definitely not petty. Add to that the stupid chairfarter in the labour exchange who, without telling you what the job is, says "sorry, but I think you are overqualified".

Yup; that all sounds familiar. Possibly worse though, is the actual application process. When you know that an employer can make it easy for you (for example, send in in a CV with a brief questionnaire type application to cover things that your CV might not), it makes me fume that so many, disallow this. Instead you have to fill in a 40 page form including a tortuous 'education' section which is in a totally different format from any CV, so you can't even just copy and paste...

This is all fine if it's a stage 2 or 2nd interview, but TOTALLY unnecessary for the initial weeding stage; a waste of everyone's time.

Pit you get pissed off about puffs of air going the wrong way in the lift so it's hard to know when you're really annoyed.

KB, in here I can vent it and that keeps me from kicking some stupid bastid in the teeth.

There was a time when I would have said Dentists, I’ve recently found one who is passionate about his work , there’s no pain and he has allowed me to with confidence again after employing new techniques to do my rebuild
