Stupid little things that bug you

That Money Supermarket advert when Dame Judy sends her team out to save money for seven people in seven places...

The 'team' race about but appear to do no more than leave a free ipad on a table in front of their new customer, and then bugger off.

Send me a free ipad and I'll sign up to a policy no bother.
If you're going to SAVE circa £300 on your car insurance, it's quite possible that you're the type of person that doesn't need money saving tips anyway, as you are probably the owner of a Lambo, Bentley or Aston Martin. (There again you could be living in a large motor home).
 
When did double parking on the street become legal? Don't people look for a space round the corner anymore or is it now perfectly OK to stick the hazards on and leave the car blocking traffic?
I worked on Wilmslow Road / Curry Mile, Rusholme in the 1970s. It was quite common to see traffic brought to a standstill in both directions during the daytime by delivery vans and parked cars.

The last time I drove down there, about three years ago, it added half an hour to what used to be a 15 minute trip. Never again. Stockport Road in Levenshulme and Longsight is just as bad now.

Many of the 'main routes' into Manchester from the south of the city were developed in the days of the horse and cart, and have been hopelessly inadequate for the weight of traffic for 40+ years.

The answer is to make them 'red routes' as in London, and mercilessly enforce the restrictions. People would moan though as they might have to walk ten yards.
 
I installed a ring doorbell which I've had for over a year. Genuine question, why do some drivers not use it and faintly knock on instead? The doorbell isn't exactly hard to miss either. I know they do a high pressured job and don't think they're that oblivious. Are they scared of waking people up by pressing it or something?

They don't even knock here. They just lob it and leg it.
