The merest hint of a pleasant day, that might be nice for sitting out and enjoying it, disturbed by the abundance of grass cutting and jet washing.

Can't you all join some sort of NoisyTwatWhatsApp group and schedule them all at the same time, preferably on a Tues evening..?

All the slow dawdlers in the high street and in shops.
I'd like to look at the market stalls but can't because I am in such a rage after 17.54 seconds.

The garage that turns your auto-brake/hold-brake off when they MOT the car, and fail to return it to it's *default* setting of on when they leave the car.

Oh yes. The one at work (one, shared between approx 30 people) flushes very enthusiastically for a long time but just gives the contents a swirl, then fills up incredibly slowly so you have to wait to flush it again.
Plus the taps are separate and the hot water is too hot to use after 3 seconds, making washing your hands properly very awkward.

I signed up to iD a couple of months,ago. They had a major IT outage that meant newbies couldn't get full service, and when it was still not fixed 2 weeks later I left. Rubbish.

And follow it up by leaving the headlights in the "Off" position instead of putting them back to "Auto".
