Kids on devices in public eating places generally , but when the sound has been put where you can still just hear it and it’s that constant ( don’t know how to describe it) squeaky random sounds kids entertainment noise
One thing that does my head in is people wandering around holding their phone and having a conversation with the phone on speaker. No one else needs to hear your calls you ignorant idiots.
 
This is getting worse in the UK over the last year or so. I see people jumping lights on a daily basis now.

I don't think society has been the same since the lock downs. Roads are mental and full of drivers that somehow passed their tests. People are just genuinely rude in supermarkets (to staff and others). There's a genuine "F**kin deal with it" culture these days.
 
Roadworks traffic lights next to the Sniperley Park and Ride at Durham. I was the first car waiting at the red light. Lights changed, I started to pull out into the roadworks and two cars came flying through from the opposite direction!
 
Also "gentle reminder" emails give me the rage. It's not gentle. It's a passive aggressive nag.
I know this won't help at all, but where I work email is almost completely redundant. I cannot remember the last actual email (outside of system updates and meeting invites) I received.

Email and Teams are currency at my place

Saw something on Teams today that made my piss boil. It was start of the day and I needed to speak to my boss but she had the 'do not disturb' setting on (similar to a no entry road sign). When I hovered over it though it said 'focussing'.

Apparently she has it set to that for first hour each day now. WTF?

One of my bosses used to do that, I just call it going for a coffee <laugh>
 
A lot of cars now have stop-start technology so you can't pull away immediately. I've disabled mine, it's a pain in the hole.

Mine has this. It's crap and I never use it.

It keeps breaking and I get a load of dashboard lights coming on and it needs to go to the garage to get fixed. It's currently broken at the moment. I've spent so much keep replacing sensors etc and I don't even use it. It does my head in!
