Round tablets that roll away.

Almost as nauseating as "in these unprecedented times".

There are no unprecedented times. Big Bang saw to that.

Contrary to popular opinion dreadlocks have been common amongst Europeans since time immemorial. So, if someone accuses a white man of cultural appropriation for wearing them, they are just demonstrating their own ignorance. The idea that locks are of Caribbean origin is false. See ”nitty gritty”.

You’ve got dreads, haven’t you ;)

Traffic lights

You are the only car on the road yet they change to red as you approach. In this day and age we must have the technology to keep them on green if the roads are empty.

Technology exists but no always implemented.

Thank you, was going to post the same.
"I'm no royalist...."
Almost as anoying as
"You are so and so, and I claim my £5"

Or taxi drivers who think flashing their lights at a red light make them turn green quicker because they once happened to change by chance when they did it 15 years ago.

I think that you are correct, albeit as a synonym not a verb but in the lexicon. There must be others too but I can't think of any.

These fucking 50mph zones on motorways that go on for miles and last months due to “work” but there is literally never any **** there doing any work.

Correct, also you can only officially go for a crap if your convience was made by Thomas Crapper

The flushing toilet was actually invented by an Irishman, however it was Mr Crapper who first put a hole in the seat.
