. Everyone making their event posters with AI Slop, schools, clubs, shops, it’s spreading like wildfire. I’m on a new drive to boycott anyone who does it, I’m annoyed with it already.

Energy supplier emailed me to let me know my bill would be going down because of the VAT reduction and then followed that up with another email telling me they're increasing my monthly direct debit by a tenner

Getting the DPD "We're sorry we missed you" message whilst sat at home.
Only to look at the proof of attempt photo to see it's from an address not even the same door number, let alone same road. Made worse by needing to go through a useless, unhelpful chat bot to be able to speak to a human.

There are mince pies in the shops. It’s still summer!
Still tempted to buy them though…

The fact that barely anybody now walks single file across narrow pavements
Is there a reason for it? Then when you dont move out the way for them and barge shoulders they look at you like you've beheaded their children

. People who verbally abuse their children in public
I get being frustrated at them, I have two young ones myself. But the way some people talk to their children in public genuinely shocks me sometimes. Whether it’s the words they use or the mocking and/or nasty tone of voice they use. It makes me feel sorry for the children, and imagining how they are talked to at home. I suffered through it myself so I can imagine quite clearly how they are talked to.

Charity muggers and feeling bad for ignoring them.
Every single day when I go out for my lunch there is another charity mugger in town hiding behind their false smiles trying to pester me and get me to make a donation.
I feel bad for ignoring them as of course the charities are all good causes. But I just can’t be arsed being hassled every single day when I just want to chill on my lunch.
I end up feeling guilty for ignoring them or being blunt and saying no. But it’s just annoying having to deal with it every single day, there’s no getting away from them either as there’s always a pack of them and they manoeuvre into your path.

. Pop into a high street optician to ask how much their eye test is. When you follow that up with a second question whether you can get a print out so you can buy glasses elsewhere or online, the look of disgust is probably on par with curling one out on their carpet.

I really miss my old electrician who lived round the corner and who could always find time to pop by (and who was compensated fairly for their time...).

Afrer suffering a high fever, nausea and vommiting all night, i called in sick to work. Two hours later, i was completely fine again.
I feel guilty now. I could've gone in to work if i had just 'pushed' through it.

Bank Holiday Chores and mother in law has used my £40 cutting in brush to stain the fence
Having to do a bunch of bank holiday chores while the wife is away, and one of those is to repaint our snug.
Only I go to get everything out, and discover that my expensive cutting in brush was used by the mother in law the other month when she went and stained the fences.
Now having to cut in with a really shitty brush, and regretting life's choices.

People parking in the queue for the Car Wash before getting their ticket.
I always drive into the garage, park up, go buy a ticket for the car wash and then drive into the car wash, I do that because that feels like the logical thing to do.
What is annoying is when I have got my ticket and driven to the car wash only to find in front of me there is a car parked in front of the car wash, it's an empty car, because that person has parked up to go and buy a ticket for the car wash. So even though I am there, with a ticket ready to have my car cleaned, I can't because I'm waiting on someone who doesn't even have a ticket yet.
Imagine you go to a super market which has one single self serve checkout, you immediately pick up an empty basket and put it in the self serve checkout and then leave the basket to go and pick up your items, in the meantime a queue forms behind your basket of people who have already picked up their items and are ready to leave. Obviously those people stuck behind your empty basket will be annoyed as they are ready to leave but you have have effectively reserved the checkout until you are ready delaying everyone else. It's the same principle.
