Aye. There’s a dedicated thread about it now from someone else. Plenty others experiencing it.

The first stage of the forum upgrades has now been completed but they remain in a degraded state and are still being worked on. Normal posting/reading should now be possible.
Please read this thread for more details.

App based parking meters in areas with no phone reception and no card pay option.
One parish council in the Lakes just had cheap posters stuck up with a QR code and what looked like a home made website. They didn't even ask the car registration. My wife paid through one then came to me looking sheepish, saying "I think I've just fallen for a scam". As soon as we got back to where I was staying, it was laptop out and check out every detail of the site. It was actually genuine.
I mailed them to say their system looks like a scam, is flawed anyway and pointed them to news articles where scammers had been putting up fake QR codes. They said because it had not happened yet it clearly was not a problem. If I had been staying a few more days, I would have got some fake QR codes printed and start Rick Rolling car park users, just to make a point.

Yeah, I travel down to South Wales (and back) quite regularly, and I always fall for the 'nearly home once I get on the A1(M)'.
That last hour or so drags like hell
Cartwright spammed any section he went in with absolute shite and you use to lick his hoop
You absolute hate everyone don’t you Rob?
Not particularly but a certain poster gets hammered by you and others for spamming the board and fwiw I don't particularly like that poster either but you absolute adore Cartwright when all he does is spam the board with absolute drivel then act like a toddler hoying his toys out the pram
People who don’t use commas, they’re on the list now.

When people wait until you're just heading out of earshot to start talking to you about something, so that you have to go back and check what they said. It is never important enough to have stopped for.
Extra points if the same person later comments on how long it is taking you to complete the task they've been interrupting

The cough medicine that I like now costs £9.50 a bottle 
Decided just to cough rather than pay that.

People waiting at the petrol station for a pump on their side even though the hoses are long enough to go round the car and blocking the entrance so no one else can get in.

Now I used to be a bit of a grammar policeman on this forum, but through time I gave it up as a bad job.
I still find it annoying when reading posts that don’t read correctly due to some grammatical error, or a spelling mistake, again I’ve learned to live with it, but the one bad practice that is in danger of becoming universally accepted as correct/normal is the misuse of your and you’re.
It boils my blood.

There’s a supermarket one I use that’s always pretty busy but you get people hanging back 20m from the pumps trying to nab the next one that comes free. Problem is this starts a queue that once it’s more than 3 or 4 cars it spills back onto the main road creating a traffic jam there. If I see this happening I’ll overtake the queue and pick a row and pull in directly behind the cars using the pumps. Dunno if I’m a tw*t for doing it but it nearly always sparks the rest of the queue into life and they’ll head for the pumps rather that sit backing traffic up.

They was/I were also 'he's took' (as opposed to 'taken' etc.) Usually in speech on tv interviews. The 'took' wrong tense thing is normally a NE thing tbf.
I may not have explained that properly but I'm sure those who are bothered by such things will know what is ever so slightly irking me.
I'm no intellectual giant but... well if I spot it...
