I just picked up my groceries. There are three carparks dedicated for pickups. One had a car in it, with no associated person to be seen. The other two had a car straddling them. So three parks were used when only one should have been.

People not putting lids properly... ketchup, laundry liquid, I've spilled a lot of those before due to prev person not putting the lid on properly. Now I always check before handling things with lids

Hah the other day my wife didn't put the lid back properly on a large jar of Pic's peanut butter. Nor had the oil at the top been properly mixed in. I damn near spilt peanut oil all over everything in the pantry after picking it up from the lid.

Someone with their bass going thump thump thump while people are trying to work/concentrate. It must be some distance away as it's one of those 'edge of hearing' things that's just enough to be annoying.

Bottles and/or tubes that get squeezed from the middle and left in that state.

Shampoo, sauce, toothpaste, ointment etc.

Shampoo is one that really gets me. The bottle is so compressed that I can't squeeze it, so have to inject some air into it and give it a shake to get the contents moving. I then put it back, with the lid fastened and air in it, so it has resumed it's original shape (from the factory). Next time I get in the shower - squeezed to within an inch of it's life. Making matters worse - I am mostly bald, so only use the tiniest bit of shampoo!!

I live with Neanderthals.

Realising that L4 has made me unfit again. I used to walk up a track to the hill summit 2-3 times a week but it wasn't clear whether this was allowed at L4 so I erred on the side of caution. Doing it today was tough :(

Make it 4-5 times for the next few weeks perhaps? Won't be any easier initially but...

Yeah, I intend to keep at it! Normally I go further than I did today (past the summit and along the ridge line), so I'd like to get back to the usual distance again. At least it's getting lighter in the evenings now so I'll have more time to get it done :)

Especially if you start at Daylight :-)

The downside of going to level 3 and takeaways! People dumping their takeaways leftovers in rural areas near a town in the South Island. Useless lazy slobs.

Not just rural areas. Just to think the powers that be thought single use plastic bags were the root cause plastic pollution when in fact it's attitudes like this that are the real problem.

Agreed 100%. I just can't understand why you would just throw all your junk out of your car. Food wastes just feeds the vermin and kills our clean and green image.

Possums taping on your bedroom window at 3am. Not cool. Repeated visitor by local young rascal of a possum. Scared the sh*t out of the dog.

Our household still uses plastic bags to collect rubbish before placing the bin. The difference is that now we have to buy the bags. So instead of a bag being used twice it is now used once only.

It seems only one entity profits from this: the supermarkets.

Do they also take pills out of blister packs in random order?
