Overuse of hyperbolic words in mass media:
'Devastated passengers' - as in 'waiting longer to get through passport/hand luggage control during the peak August season'.
'Treacherous conditions' - as in 'it has rained in the UK, drivers be careful'.
Oh reading these in newspapers and on the net makes me 'fly with rage'. | | The following 9 users would like to thank VenusC for this useful post: | |

My Miele oven is so well insulated that the tea towel I hang on the front stays perpetually soggy

I asked a US colleague to bring me over some Root beer flavoured Dum-Dums, she brought butterscotch instead.  | | This user would like to thank Castro for this useful post: | |

Little Rufus managed to leave her My Little Pony hat in one of the three places we've been today. We either have to retrace our steps and hope someone found it and handed it in to Lost Property, or we have to go and buy a new one. Apparently none of her other hats will do because they don't have a swishy tail.

I planned a quiet day at home because they said it was going to be raining cats and dogs.
It's not raining.  | | The following 2 users would like to thank Swisstree for this useful post: | |

Unfortunately, with the temperature drop I have no more valid excuses to give myself to not do any ironing. The pile is huge!!

My new teapot holds slightly more water than the kettle. I either need a new kettle or should drink less tea...

I was just arriving at the point where I don't see my pile as such anymore but as part of the interior design.
