TV adverts for devices to grind or file the hard skin from the bottom of feet. Just tell me about the device. I don’t want to see dead skin flying everywhere thank you!

Hark the heRAEld angels sing
Someone (or possibly more than one person) who uses fabric detergent from a bottle in the shared washing machine at my building in Brussels has taken to leaving the machine door open and the drawer pulled all the way out - I can only guess in order to show off the manky black mold that has been growing in there.
I use the dissolvable liquitab things, so I never open the drawer or put anything in it, and as I'm not usually here all that much and a lot of my work clothes are woolen and therefore not home washable, I probably do less than one load of laundry a month here.
I do, however, have to keep going to the cave where the washing machine is to check on my boiler, as it's been being a pain for the last few months, which is how I've noticed that the machine has been left this way for quite some time. (I've also had to fight past piles of furniture from the other tenants that have been ilegally occupying the cave and obstructing my boiler, which has been really irritating)
The other week I needed to actually do some laundry, so I took the drawer out to see if the machine would still work without it, and because I didn't want to clean the manky mold that I hadn't caused. It resulted in mild flooding, but the cave has a tiled floor with a drain in, so no damage was done. My laundry seemed clean enough, so I didn't think much more about it.
Today, exceptionally, I realised I need to do more laundry already as I need to take some match kit home tomorrow, and lo and behold, several days after I took the drawer out, it is still out and still covered in manky black mold.
Since I'm not a total asshole, I have now cleaned and replaced it so that I don't cause any further flooding in the cave.
But, because I am at least a bit of an asshole, I have also taped a note to the washing machine declaring that cleaning the drawer is my gift to the other occupants of the building, even though I barely use that machine and have never put detergent or conditioner in the drawer.
I hate other people.
How anyone can go through life so determinedly unaware of the impact they have on those around them boggles my mind.

cold callers - had a phone call from someone talking about my loft insulation being inefficient- asked where they have got my number: 'from a list of people with fibre glass loft insulation'... Pointed out my number is registered with the telephone preference service at which point they were 'sorry to bother you' and hung up

Should’ve told them you live in a ground floor flat😀.
For conservatories I tell them I live in a flat, windows & stuff, a brand new house, sometimes I’m a renter, other times unemployed.

I’ve found that signing up to TPS is a total waste of time. Callers take absolutely no notice of it. 😖

ER, my mother-in-law asked the same question as was told that it was a randomly-dialled number.

Anyone that uses their mobile phone like a walkie-talkie.
Anyone that wears sunglasses indoors (exemption for blind folks, obvz).
Anyone that captions a social media picture "if you know, you know."
The marks of a scoundrel, all.

My parcel was delivered to the wrong address. The photo showed a picture of a front door I didn’t recognise. I clicked on the feedback to say my parcel was delivered to the wrong address and now I can’t see the photo any more.
It is an iPhone which is an early upgrade present for my youngest daughter.
