Stupid little things that bug you

Modern day usage of the word "staycation" all because of a pandemic and Boris at the time always encouraging people to holiday at home, while the Twitterati were trying to find yet a other compound name for something. I nearly lost my temper when he said the best days of his childhood were holidays at home, before he finished a daily briefing and I wanted to go to Iceland after many years of wanting to go (we finally did it my other half and I).

It's even more pathetic as the word can be used to apply to a holiday to Scotland because the referendum was an "No" result, and wouldn't have been otherwise.

They have their own language and culture unique to the rest of the devolved nations for a start.
 
People who turn up fifty minutes before school pick-up time to drive their kids half a mile home and keep the engine running to keep warm outside our house (which is near a school) and therefore leave their fumes with the residents.

Living that close, they should be walking anyway.
 
People who wear dry robes as a coat. Just buy a raincoat for half the price.

I've noticed loads of people, especially women, wearing these recently.
They were designed to wear before and after open water and lido swims. To be fair, even for that purpose they are not strictly necessary. When I go for a lido swim, I can cope with being cold for a few seconds when I'm out of the water. Maybe everyone has just gone nesh.
