Really minor annoyances

When you turn a telly on, all the crap you have to go through to get to an actual channel (pressing back, back, back, back etc, just to get rid of all the shit and menus on the screen)

I realise, as one who knew a time when there were two tv channels and no such thing as a remote, that this is a minor inconvenience. But it annoys me.
 

Americans making fun of 'British teeth' when it's 2024 and we can now see youtube channels with americans that aren't movie stars and lo-and-behold some of them have teeth like battered fences too.
 
Restaurant last week. It was in a narrow pedestrian street with tables outside. We were seated next to two American lasses with just a small gap between the two tables.

They spent the whole meal each on video call to other people on loudspeaker and barely spoke a word to each other 🤷‍♀️
 
Adults using the word 'sick' as a positive adjective.

People saying 'haul' for a few items they've bought.

People saying 'point of view' when they mean imaginary scenario.
People who pronounce holidays as Hollydayas
Marginally better than hollibobs though.
 
People with their sh1t machines in the half of the beach they shouldn't be and drivers who go all the way round a roundabout without indicating but do indicate at the last turn off which doesn't fckn matter anyway because they aren't passing other motorists at that point.
 
People (or person) who doesnt compress any plastic bottles going into the recycling and then fails to remove any bottle tops increasing the mass of said bottle in the recycling and leaving less space to utilise for further rubbish. Very minor yet very annoying
