The big problem with marrowfat peas is not the lack of a ring pull, but the fact they turn your pee into a radio active, luminous green colour. Perhaps @sillav nitram should get his contact to look into that too?
Not sure how he would keep it yellow but, he could eat loads of beetroot to turn it red? Obviously anyone doing this needs to remember that they have been eating beetroot and not rush to the doctor thinking they have blood in their urine.
Most cans now have the easy open, ring pull system apart from cheapskates, FARROWS PEAS!
I've emailed them and they said they'd look into it but I imagine it's too costly to change there whole production to accommodate, funny how everyone else can (scuse pun).
Cyclists in a left turn only lane trying to undertake a fucking artic also in the left hand turn lane then getting well chippy when the driver goes off his lid at them
It's as of they want to become a smear on the side of one. Insane behaviour

I had a half set of golf clubs on eBay for £50 , only used them twice. Hardly had a ticket then a local fella sends me a message to see if I’d take £30 , told him £40 and they’re yours.
He came round and paid me cash , half hour later I take them off eBay and just ten minutes after I get a warning email off eBay as they ain’t getting their four quid now.
When you go on holiday and the shower is rubbish. When the difference between boiling fine and freezing is the matter of angstroms, it doesn't matter anyway because it varies randomly between the two extremes and also has the power of a urinating shrew with prostrate issues.
On the plus side, my wife and daughter fell over fully clothed in the surf exactly like Neil Kinnock did at Brighton beach (where we are now, oh the poetry of it!). I was highly amused.

Fair point on houses, however if I were at a car boot sale...
Many people on eBay, Schpock etc do just the opposite though - Put stuff on at a price higher than the lowest they'd accept just in the hope someone will pay it.
Annoying but true.
I'd rather people did as you say you would Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish.
The problem is imperfect information and anticipating how buyers on things like Schpock and Gumtree behave. Lets say I'm selling a desk. Ideally I want £50 for it. But I don't know if anyone else thinks it's worth £50 (imperfect information) and I know if I put it on for £50 I will not receive any offers at that price because every buyer now tries to lowball you. So I put it on for £60 or £70, with full expectation no one will offer to pay that price for it, but buyers now know the range they can make offers in. Now £50 is perhaps my hard lowest (ie I will automatically accept any offer at least as good as that) but maybe I'll accept £40 if the item still hasn't sold after a few weeks?
The problem is if I want 50, I have to say 60 or 70. And if someone asks me what the lowest I will accept is and I truthfully answer 50, they will still offer lower. Which defeats the whole point.
I don't put it at a higher price because I am trying to scam buyers, I genuinely don't know what is the true highest price that I will get but I know what my expectation is and have to anticipate the fact that the vast majority of buyers will make an offer at around 20% give or take of the list price on these websites. It's a self-perpetuating cycle, yes, but if you follow the rules it works. If you try to circumvent the rules but demanding to know the seller's preferences up front then the system falls over.
I deal in Militaria and attend a lot of military fairs, and Fiiish mate you would not make a bean with that attitude. It all about haggling and techniques of haggling. The marked price is not what you are going to pay unless you're a bit of a muppet, so I always ask what their lowest is, then I throw in an offer (remember they might not sell the item all day, but they have a firm offer) some stick to their 'lowest', most will go lower, and that is before you bundle up a few items that they are selling, which give you better haggling space. Lets be honest you want to sell something, whatever it is, you need me to buy it, I have the money that you want, will I take the piss? Yes of course I will, because for every three people that say no (and of course that is your perogative), two will say yes. I do the same if I see something on eBay. The seller can say yes or no to my offer. Its business, thats all.

I make enough money thanks, it's just in my experience anyone who dives in with 'what's your lowest' is 9 times out of 10 a pisstaker who either back out at the last minute or just don't bother turning up.
It's different for physical stalls since they actually have to sell something to make back the cost of their time and the cost of setting up a stall/car boot fee so yeah there is a bit more advantage for buyers built in (with the obvious problem that if there are a lot of other buyers present they might buy the item from under your nose). With online though, I am by no means under any obligation to sell at a price I'm not happy at and generally do get a price above what I consider my hard lowest, just hate dealing with pisstakers.
If I think I can get 50 for an item, putting it at 70 then haggling down to 50 or 60 works 9 times out of 10. The other 1 time I've clearly overvalued the item and relist or accept 40 or 45.

When you go for a big dump in the work toilets and the flush isn’t so good, after 3 flushes there is still a stubborn floater and you have to get the big brush out to give it a helping hand round the u-bend.

I like to leave them as a warning for the next stall user, a bobbing reminder that they'd better not airate their poo too much if they want to see that back of it.
Sat down and noticed the stench was emanating from the empty seat in front of me, when I looked over, someone had left 3, 3/4 eaten KFC chicken bones on the seat.
Not in the box on the seat, just the f ing bones on the seat, who are these people, do they live on a garbage dump!
Fucking animals, actually that’s unfair on animals, there(that’s for you bbob,are ya gonna book me;)) worse than animals, animals wouldn’t do that!

Medical Certificates for overseas events or rather the GP's attitude towards them - I had to pay £75 for 15 minutes of the doctors time this morning and I had apparently booked 40 mins with him.... Yet fat or lazy fuckers get everything free on the NHS.

You were hungry and had a nibble at them didn't you. You're annoyed with yourself for doing so, but the defence mechanism in you means you have to come on here and blame the chicken bone litter bugs for leaving such an enticing pre-dinner titbit on the seat.
Other peoples attitudes with their dogs. :i.e. allowing their dogs to get in in my dogs face despite him being on a lead. He's scared of other dogs and despite his size the smaller ones scare him the most. But I will have to muzzle him (my choice) to prevent him harming another dog because the owner has no ******* manners.

That's an indictment of the world nowadays bro. Default setting is to act how you want, fuck everyone else, if someone pulls you up on it, kick up and act like a 3 year old who hasn't got her own way, then for the sake of an easier life everyone else is expected to bend. I did a data sample with myself the other day and put of ten people I gave way to only 3 thanked me.
An upshot of this is me telling an obnoxious beast of a mother on the school run that she was a disgrace of a human being for winding her window down and calling me a c*nt for not giving way when it was my right of way. The obligatory spaced out, gawking kids that look like they've all received head traumas were in the car too.
I've been conducting some of my travel between jobs inadvertently on school run times recently and I will add 'school run full time mummies' to my list of things that annoy me.

I had this the other day. My dog doesn't like other dogs so I always keep him on a lead. A guy had his dog off the lead & it came running towards my dog, I shouted to him that my dog doesn't like other dogs, his response was "oh well, my dog's fine with other dogs"

Good for you mate!!
When I speak to my classes, I break it down in to human terms and say. How would you feel if someone run towards you and screamed in your face? I spent 3 years addressing JJ's fear aggression and Ive got it down to, if a dog shows no interest he'll walk by. But invariably some shithead will let their dog approach mine, because mine is on a lead they would dream of it if he was off lead!
