You are making an extreme case out of this. From my own personal experience with people I know well, one is dyslexic, several dozen were simply poorly taught at school and don't see the point of bothering. There is nothing wrong with their ability to use words, they just don't care enough to take trouble over their spelling. That is not a disability. It is an attitude.

 

I won't comment on this further. It is clearly a sore point with you, and undoubtedly with some others. I have no wish to make this more than it is, but I will say what I believe to be true, which is what I have done.

People who load the dishwasher with the assumption that the two or three plates and cups they are putting in there are the only dishes in the world, so spread them around the dishwasher.  I then come in with the rest of the dishes, and tetris player that I am, try to get the best arrangement of articles for washing as possible, necessitating removing all the previous, poorly-placed dishes.  Grrrr...

 

Also - people who place wooden spoons and utensils in a dishwasher.  Why????

Depending on the wood it's no problem.  My fav wooden spoon is years old and it always goes in the DW.  Some sort of hardwood, I'm not sure what hardwood though.  If it was pine I'm sure it would split.

Roadworks signs with 50/30 Kph signs and no obvious indication of actual roadworks. Two lots between New Plymouth and Wellington last weekend. It's no wonder people don't slow down for real roadworks - too many false positives.

 

(Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I'm too lazy to search through 397 pages)

The volume on Netflix videos being inconsistent - some shows I have to turn the TV volume up to 40 to hear clearly, others 25 is fine.

 

And then when I finish watching the first one, and start the second, I get deafened...

Apps that repeatedly ask for permission to use location.  Once per update should be enough.

 

I'm looking at you AirNZ.  I know where I am.  You don't need to.

People at work who put sharp knives facing upwards in the dish washer - so annoying. They probably have a belief that this washes the top of the knife very well. If their theory was factual then every plate would be dirty on one side!

In the supermarket checkout queue....the checkout lady tells the customer in front of me that that she has a nasty little cold. 

 

And she is about to checkout all our food items???Grrrr...

 

So she starts checking out my groceries, but she has trouble scanning our spring onions (in the protective bag!!).  So she takes them out of the bag with her bare germ laden hands to get better access to the label.....Grrr....

The patty in the McTau is made from Kereru.  Costs $24.5k though.

I think the idea is that knife handles won't poke holes in the bottom of the cutlery basket.
