Really minor annoyances

That really fucks me off. I get about saving water but that's ridiculous.

On similar note

Toilets where there's an indication outside the cubicle that shows if its occupied, and someone has pulled the door to, with the lock in the occupied display... so at first glance it looks like someone is in there

The cubicle doors swing shut after use in the Metrocentre toilets. There's often women queuing because they assume all the toilets are in use as all the doors are closed, when really there's empty ones if you walk down the line and check.
I'm convinced that if you check in matching luggage, baggage handlers deliberately space them out on the belt.

It's just not conceivable to me that my families two bags, checked in within a minute of each other can shift around in the hold that much that one can be in the first 20 bags and the other in the last 20.

A flight last year that involved changing in Amsterdam. It was a tight connection so our bags were marked to be pulled off first in Amsterdam and immediately sent to the next plane. Both were checked in together at Newcastle. Daughters rucksack made the connection but somehow mine got left in Amsterdam. You know it's bad news when you just get to the baggage belt and hear your name being called out on the tannoy.

it's worse when as the plane is being pushed back, you look out the window, to see a bloke in high viz running towards the parking spot with your bag!

Happened to me at Teesside of all places. Must have been about 10 people on the one flight to Heathrow and they managed to be late with my bag

This was a long time ago mind
 
People who drive with their windscreen wipers going 90 to the dozen when there's only a spot of drizzle in the air.

Cars hammering up your inside on a dual carriageway with nowhere to go & then trying to pull over in front of you even though you're up the backside of the car in front.
 
Parents on the kids football what’s app group.

It’s there for fixture and training updates. Not for you to record everything your child does football related.

No Mary. I don’t want to see your child’s new DHgate knock off from different angles
 
The only place I've ever had a cash point give me a £50 note was in a casino. Where are you going for your cash?
Cricklewood high street for me. Stayed down there for the Wycombe play off final, went to get £200 out and got 4 notes. Went in Wetherspoons across the road for a pint and felt weird getting so many notes in my change. Barman never battered an eyelid mind.

Fair play. I use cash so infrequently these days, it's a wonder if there's any in my wallet at all.
 
I just carry a couple of tissues in my handbag.
Two sheets? You must do tiny poos 😄
Chuggers at the entrance to supermarkets, Mozzas at Seaburn being one of the worst offenders.
What's a Mozza? I'm not familiar with these 'street' terms as I'm from Town End Farm.

Automatic wipers man, they're absolutely mental. 😄
