Totally unimportant things that drive you insane.

The cushions and covers on hotel beds are useful when you want to sit/ lie down in the daytime to read or watch tv. The little runners across the bottom are to protect the bed from people who keep their shoes on.

Noisy air cons. We bought a portable one that sounded like an aircraft taking off and switched itself on and off all the time so we took it back and got our money back. Paid more and got a wall mounted one installed, much better

?? Stayed in a very posh hotel in Delhi once, bathroom wall was glass ?. It was a ? while before I realised there was a switch which made it opaque.

Big fancy baths in the middle of a hotel bedroom. ‘Open plan’ bathrooms in hotel rooms. At least give us a private toilet.

Itchy labels in clothes. My ‘silent’ kettle which sounds like a space craft taking off.

Dirty public loos. Not that often these days but it still happens.

Hotel beds (remember those?) decorated with a line of pointless scatter cushions and a slippery bedspread that have to be stacked up somewhere before I can climb in.

Things that claim to be 'easy to clean' but aren't. Often they are kitchen appliances.

Dangly things attached to car mirrors. Surely they're a distraction to the driver?

Fringes.
I'd never have one as I dislike the feel of hair on my face. I've also grown more and more to dislike seeing a fringe on someone else.
I keep imagining how much better they'd look with hair off their face.
(I never say so to them, of course)

Oh dear god, if I couldn't have a fringe, I'd never leave the house! I can assure you there is no way anyone would think I'd look better without one!

The constant reference to 'roadmap' at the moment - its a plan folks.

Ring-pull cans. You need a lot of strength to open them and I'm terrified of cutting myself on the sharp edges.

And what to do when the ring-pull breaks off!

Thin plastic bags to put your veggies in that won’t open.

Agree re the "ripe and ready" avocados. The same often applies to peaches - most of the time, they're not either.

Same DH leaving blobs of blue toothpaste all over basin, mirror and floor.

DH leaving small pieces of soap on shower tray which I slipped on this morning and fell rather awkwardly.

Ripe and ready avocados - no, they’re not!!

Toilet Roll hung the wrong way! Pictures, mirrors etc not hung straight!

Massive 4 x 4s hemming me in on both sides at Sainsbury's car park.

People wittering on about Harry and Meghan in Internet forums ?

The habit of tv stations turning up the volume during adverts.....

Oh gosh yes! I am always asking the tv remote monitor to please turn that down.

Which leads to another annoyance; possession of said remote.

If someone is in control of tv remote, why can't they close fridge door while prepping food. Even the fridge is bleeping frantically........

The habit of tv stations turning up the volume during adverts.....

The tag on a plastic bag of bread which never prises apart as it should. Drives me nuts & usually results in a torn bag & swearing
(I usually buy unpackaged bread, but during lockdown it’s not available in the village shop!)

Matt Hancock saying "When we ask you to bare your arms".
Is he trying to get a wartime vibe to this?
