Had some tosser trying to break into my house a few years back. Saw him fiddling with a window as I drove past the house. Parked up the street and walked down. Caught him in the garden. He said he was just concerned that no one answered the door and wanted to make sure everything was alright. Told him don't talk shit I know what you are trying to do. He then pulled out a screwdriver which he was using to open the window. Had a scuffle with him as he was cornered in the garden. Managed to cause enough damage to slow him down. The one and only time I have ever seen a bobby on the beat when you want them happened to be walking down my road. He chased after him and nicked him. Went to court but because he didn't actually break in he got away with that but he did get done for previous burglaries.
The seemingly modern trend on the road to drive very close to the central white lines (or indeed) over them. Nowhere near the kerb or parked vehicles. "Get over to your own bloody side of the road!" And also, whilst on the topic of driving etiquette, is another new trend, which is not to use any right hand 'refuge' in the road when turning right and just sitt in the middle of the carriageway preventing traffic behind from moving.
The recent ios update. Absolute garbage from Apple. Volume has a mind of its own. Wifi/bluetooth connectivity is shocking. Some (Apple own)apps don’t even work.
In the same vein, the inability to set a timer on silent mode on iphone. Easy as anything on the old Nokia 3310, but this box of 1001 things I don't actually need doesn't do it.

You could have one of those models assembled on a Friday afternoon by cheap labour in the Apple factory. The working conditions are so bad they've allegedly erected anti suicide nets to stop the staff jumping off. They've started sabotaging phones. No contract should say 'suicide, drink and drugs are strictly prohibited'. They can't afford to pay their staff and treat them with respect, but they can afford to spunk millions on glossy shite like Ted Lasso.
They can't assemble them in America because the mistreatment would be illegal.
They charge premium prices while exploiting sweatshop labour. Take it into an Apple store and get one of those ITwat brainwashed cultish gurus to have a look at it. They'll turn it off and on again. Then shove it sideways.

The bloke on Dr Ranj's Grapetree advert who asks "excuse me but do you also know the price of these walnuts?" before slithering off with the requested information.
I wish the good doctor would reply with "Yes mate, and you cant afford them, now fuck the fuck off, you beardy tosser".
He is suing BGT bosses over the transcript of his vile comments being released to the public. Private conversations he says. I'm sure Russell Brand would say similar for his privacy.
'Good Gord Almighty', as my old Nan would've said.
David Walliams calls someone a C. U. Next Tuesday and gets paid out a million pounds for his trouble! I really hope he doesn't work on the show again.
Queueing etiquette. More specifically those numpties who insist on invading one's personal space at the till or checkout. Even before Covid it used to wind me up.
You're waiting for the person in front of you to finish their transaction at the counter and leave, but the person behind you is right up your jacksie, breathing their disease ridden, tobacco stenched halitosis down the back of your neck. All the while whacking the back of your knees with their basket. Like this is going to get them to the till quicker. Just take a step back!
Often old ladies in my experience I'm afraid to say, somewhat limiting my available responses to their frotting.
Apparently intelligent adults who refuse to accept that criticism of a government's actions doesn't make the critic an opponent of everything that government does or stands for. Criticism of a supposedly democratically installed government that treats sections of its population differently based on the accident of birth and inherited ethnicity, is criticism of prejudice. That is not in any way shape or form prejudiced criticism of the favoured group(s) under that government. While bigots will criticise others simply because of their own bigotry, legitimate criticism of actions and attitudes must be separable in the mind of a cogent adult from bigotry and hate. "of course you would say that - the target of your criticism has this identifiable distinction from you the critic: ergo the critic is a bigot"
Criticism of South Africa's apartheid regime became broadly accepted. It did not equate to justifying or apologising for any of the criminal or murderous actions perpetrated in the name of racial equality.
Criticising "loyalist" paramilitary criminality in Northern Ireland does not equate to justification of republican atrocities.
Why then does any criticism of the Tel Aviv government's conduct automatically get shot down as "antisemitism" Murder and violence on any scale is abominable
Surely it is possible to call out the slaughter of innocents by one faction without being dismissed as a bigot or apologist for slaughter by the opposing faction?

I donated 12 Charlton shirts last year to the schools football team for training, just found out they've sat in the cupboard since the requested photo was taken this time last year. What is it with PE teachers FFS.

Don't get me started on the free for all at bus stops! Really pisses me orf.
I don't mind cranberry sauce (although bread sauce is much better), a thin layer on a Christmas sandwich is pretty nice. But they absolutely ladle the stuff in now, feels like about half the filling is cranberry sauce and it makes them way too sweet.
The FA Cup draws where the presenter had to give an 'interesting' fact about each team
Norwich came out and she said they made it to the third round last season, they didn't make it anywhere they started in the third round.
Important as well to have ex-winners of the FA Cup doing the draw, even if one of them is a winner of the Women’s FA Cup, an entirely different competition.
