"these phone using morons behind the wheel are an absolute danger. "
What amazes me is the people driving expensive motors like Range Rovers who insist on making a call with the phone in their hand whilst behind the wheel. Are you telling me a 100k car doesn't have bluetooth? Absolute ballbags the lot of them.
Pay on entry carparks - why not pay on exit so that you don't overpay or get penalised for underpaying?
You've just answered your own question.
Pretty much all pedestrian/cycle crossings... Why do I have to wait 2 minutes after pressing the button for it to let me across? Ok, if it's been less than X minutes since the traffic lights last went red, maybe a longer wait, but otherwise, you're just wasting my time, for no gain. Some different drivers are going to have to wait the same amount of time. We can clearly do this easily, it's not a technical limitation. We can even make the lights wait until there's a gap in traffic to go red, which is even more irritating... I can do that on my own!
For balance, there's one crossing I sometimes use on a shared use path which has an inductive coil that makes the lights at the crossing go red so you can cross at just the right time, if you don't ride too fast. Which makes you feel disproportionately powerful.
I seriously think addressing little things like this would make people on foot/bike not feel like inconveniences to the motoring world, and more likely to do it more. I reckon it would be better value than spending another squillion quid on 300 yards of badly designed cycle path.
Auditioning vocalists. Easiest job in the world, assuming a) you can sing and b) you want to sing. So why act like it's an inconvenience turning up on time and then quit because you didn't realise it involves working nights?
To attend this site, you need an enhanced DBS clearance and 3 forms of ID. One of which must be a recent utility bill.
Oh do **** off. If my driving licence and passport aren’t good enough how will a gas bill help?
Arrive at site, oh you don’t need any of that as you’re not a regular visitor.
Oh, so it’s just one or two separate forms of ID needed and it’s a mistake.
Plus I wasted lots of time tying to find a printed utility bill.
No, you need all those forms of ID if you’re here more often.
So you don’t need any of these 4 forms of ID I’ve gathered?
No.
Payment machines - how about having a screen you can actually read in bright daylight because, you know, most machines are in outdoor car parks.

How will they signal to hoi palloi that they are "busy and important" with their massive and expensive phone and their massive and expensive car otherwise?
