Today's Peeve Of The Day, Wednesday 23rd February. (best, buying, people)

[Jezer]

Good morning posters and welcome to Wednesday.

As usual I'm typing this the night before and searching for divine inspiration.

I'm looking at something we saw advertised on one of those shopping channels, and this gives me an idea for a peeve;

Products that don't live up to their promise.

Space does not allow me to list all the products in this category.

This particular peeve has been done and redone, but every time it is done, I can understand the frustration. I am not peeved just disappointed.

Oh this happens to me most of the time. And each time I get sucked into this, I think it will be different...but oh no.
I usually end up disappointed in the crap I purchase.......and that is what it is......crap

I think that some of them do, if we read the fine print before buying it. Stuff like 'will hold up to 5 gallons'...meaning it could hold 3, 4 or 5 gallons...or 'serves 6'....yeah, it might serve six people, if they only take one scoop...how about 'hauls [i]up to[i] 2 tons....meaning it can haul 2 tons if youre coasting down a slope but not climbing up a mountain terrain. But I do agree with you, some products can be misleading!

you know what though

The microwave pasta maker is a great way to cook pasta

Especialy true if the product is supposed to be a sterile item.

You are counting on it for medical use & find out it's not.

This, along with the wet toilet seat in a public bathroom, is high on almost everyone's peeve list. Products just get shoddier and shoddier as time goes on.

I find it works best to just assume it's going to be junk and then be pleasantly surprised when it's not. Don't ya just love life's little surprises.
