Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

When you ask for milk in a cafe and get a huge jug of the stuff instead of a quick splash. That's already happened to me twice today. Such a waste.

[eL Bee! likes to get a huge jug of milk. He tips it into his cup and drinks it after drinking his coffee black. I realise this is not a solution for someone who has inherited their lactase-producing gene from me.]

Oh yes VP, cup of tea and the milk jug is the same bloody size. Infuriating.

When I leave early but the traffic is unusually bad, so I arrive at the same time as normal.

GAH. People who post PLEASE SHARE things on social media with no relevant information.

e.g. Please share this photo of my bike that has been stolen.

Perhaps you'd like to say WHERE it was stolen from and WHEN it was stolen so that people don't share the post in Australia in two years time (or perhaps you are in Australia, and the person sharing it in the local group here has no idea).

People who post things like “suicide awareness” and “cancer awareness” saying “copy and paste DO NOT SHARE”- as if it makes a jot of difference

People who pay to go to a concert then watch the whole thing through their phones, meaning the person behind them also has to

And all that guilt-trip stuff like “please share to show you’ve read this and you care, I think I know which of my friends will do this”. Sod off.
