Come the revolution, these will be banned!?

You could have watched me demolishing some lamb chops today instead
But your lamb chops were not flapping frantically while you bit them, presumably, lemongrove

A car that flashes a little orange icon of a car sliding on the road when the car is sliding on the road.

"Reset to Factory Default" buttons that are easy to press accidentally because you're old and you don't see well.

Computerised telephone systems that cut off the call before you finish dialling the number because you are dialling too slow, because you're trying to read the number off a screen and the print is too small. And the buttons on the phone are too small and you can't just throw the phone on the floor and smash it under foot and plug in a real rotary-dial phone and use it instead, because those damnable bean-strainers in the business office took out the plain old telephone service line and replaced it with an all in one virtual phone system, to save ten quid a month. What was that number again?

Automated sinks in public toilets that only give you a little squirt of water to wash your hands. Hot air blowers to dry your hands. Have you ever encountered the Dyson blade? You have to do a stock check on your fingernails after using one of those, just to make sure that they are all still there.

Satnav voices that are so banal you end up arguing with it.

The need for a degree in quantum physics just to change the light bulb on the car.

Alexa computers that you are supposed to talk to. The motivation for all profanities.

Karaoke, the word alone speaks volumes.

There's more, a whole lot more.

All cruelty to animals!

Chewbacca

And the stash of light bulbs that you keep never has the size or fitting for the bulb that's just blown. I seem to have half a dozen candle bulbs with a large bayonet fitting. Which is odd, as all my lamps have a small, screw fitting.

Haha!

Whoever prescribes the arrangement of the menswear dept. In M&S.

My bloke and I took,his twin granddaughters out one day years ago and had to stuff the twin buggy into the boot of the car. We couldn’t collapse it and nor could the young couple we accosted asking for help !!

Any car seat or buggy that is so complicated to do up or dismantle.

I was ready to leave my GCs buggy in a car park when a lovely young man came up
and folded it up in one swift move ?

Yes, and that, Chewy !

The little key on the side of the square corned beef tin that always snaps off before you've got around it to open the wretched thing.

Sardine tin keys - they always snap. Horrible things.

I agree about the teeth and eyebrows, Lemon.

Marmite jars that always stick and refuse to open
Price labels slapped onto books and gifts that leave marks when pulled off
Junk mail
All tins without ring pulls
Cold callers at door or on phone
Chuggers
Jehovahs Witnesses
Wildly bleached teeth
Caterpillar eyebrows

Tea served in thick 'mug' cups in cafes, China cups please!
Shampoo and conditioner bottles, that are identical and have the words 'shampoo' and 'conditioner' written on them so small that you need a magnifying glass to read them.
Reality TV (apart from Gogglebox).

Sorry, Callistemon can't ban cats, Oliver Sprout and Minnie are family!

(Will agree that the murderous habits are not particularly desirable, which reminds me, must remove the dead mouse from outside the front door )

Callistemon

Looking at your heading, phoenix, I thought you meant cats!
Having watched one demolishing a lovely blue tit yesterday, I was going to say Yippee!

Palm Oil that doesn't come from a sustainable source.
Fructose.
No need to mention plastic, that's a given.
I would like to give a shout at for Hamiltons Fish ( Brixham) for their sustainable packaging. We have had fish delivered from other companies all in the horrible styrene. This came in a cardboard box with wool packaging. ???

Pale grey print on white backgrounds, like you get in magazines.

That ‘I’m not a robot’ thing where you have to tick traffic lights or water hydrants before it will let you carry on with buying something online, the pictures are too blurry to make out what’s what.
Or it could be I need new glasses!

Items in shops and supermarkets that appear to be clearly priced on the shelf and turn out to be another price completely at the checkout. And it is always a bit more, then I get the "Well it must have been moved" from the assistant. I want to say "But you don't want to price things individually so you should be making sure the shelf is priced correctly".

As everyone has said, all packets that are impossible to open without scissors
Those silly little ribbons that are inside new clothes
Bras that aren’t the size they claim to be (either too big or too small)
Tiny little buttons on grandchildren’s clothes that are impossible for my old fingers
Calories in cakes ( just imagine, calorieless cake)

But you are Lucca you are worthy!

Lucca

Flat pack anything

Sorry, Lucca can't agree with that one, I'm pretty good at flat pack assembly!

Phoenix. I am not worthy......

Not forgetting smart motorways of course. I would rather have an exceedingly busy motorway than no hard shoulder.
