Brits have been sharing the ‘minor inconveniences’ that especially wind them up and these 23 really get our goat

‘E-scooters that just get dumped after use, blocking pavements and narrow footpaths.’

‘GP surgery phone lines urging you to book your appointment via the website and the website telling you the surgery doesn’t offer that option.’

‘Why the fucking fuck can you never peel off the film on a pack of bacon?’

‘Well, I’m not sure if it’s just a minor inconvenience, but 90% of the time, there’s no water in the train toilet faucets. I often end up with my hands covered in soap and no way to wash it off. The thought of people carelessly using the toilet and then touching everything on the train drives me insane.
On top of that, trains are getting increasingly filthy, and it’s hard not to get frustrated—especially considering the astronomical ticket prices.’

‘People getting in the way of others in public places, common courtesy isn’t particularly common now. Families or groups walking 5-wide down the street or blocking entire aisles… extremely irritating.’

‘Cars that go through a light which has just turned red and block the pedestrian crossing. Even worse when it’s a bus so you can’t get round it or see if the green man has come on. Endangering pedestrians for no other reason than selfishness and entitlement.’

‘Not that minor – but the house buying/selling system. Could be so simple – if an offer is made and accepted then that’s a contract. Would save a fortune in broken chains and so much stress.’
–stevegraystevegray

‘The increasing lack of cash machines and banks to be able to draw cash out.’
–RobertTheSpruce

‘People who think their time is more important than others’ time. I work retail and some customers are so impatient – I’m working as fast as I can with limited staff. If you don’t like it shop elsewhere, we don’t need the attitude.’

‘Fast food is no longer fast. Go into any McDonald’s and you’ll be waiting 15-20 minutes for a burger. Before Uber eats etc you would turn up and by the time you paid they would have your food ready.’
–Inside_Plantain1755

‘When people stop to chat in the middle of a supermarket with their trolleys at a 90° angle so they’re basically blocking more than half of the aisle.
‘Bonus aggravation points if this little chinwag is in front of essential items like milk, eggs or butter with lots of foot traffic.’
