Folk that wear glasses or sunglasses on their foreheads just above their eyes.
It's unacceptable.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
College arrived late this morning and said,"you wouldn't believe I live 10 mins walk from here, it's taken me 20 to drive in".

My prescription glasses / sunglasses are for distance (mainly driving), I can't see shit through them close-up. What else would you have me do?
If you're going to be trying to beat your strava time along a busy urban pathway filled with commuters, students, mums and kids going to school and so on, perhaps don't wear headphones and don't be staring at your stem like a Temu Chris Froome, you bellend.

I'm painting the ceiling in my new place. It's awkward to do on my ladders, but the "platform" setting on the ladder is slightly too high. I have a stool which is the exact perfect right height, but it's in the attic of my current place, and I can't get into the attic in my current place because the ladders are all at the new place.
Two post duplicate. Much like the two glasses Mr clock expert wears below.

Putting them atop your head, a bit like the fella in The Repair Shop who shows off with two pairs cresting his noggin, is perfectly fine (imho)
Putting them just above your actual eyes, as if they were an extra set of mutant eyes, is creepy, weird and just not on (imho)
Fine
Completely unacceptable
Just a few centimetres is all it takes.
People writing notes on post-it notes but never taking the actual post-it note they wrote on, off the post-it note stack.

Roller on a long pole is the answer
The gradual unpairing of socks. It seems to go well for ages, sock order is perfect. Then maybe one will get separated, then suddenly I’m late for work and digging through a pile of odd socks that seems to be more than the actual number of socks I should own, yet none of them are vaguely near being a pair.
Windows. Well, the updates in particular. Outstanding updates to install so I choose "Install updates and shutdown". I go out and return home to discover that, rather than shutting down, Windows has decided to restart instead. What a waste of leccy!

For the benefit of the audience please state how far apart your new and old places are.
We can put a person on the moon but can we make a bag of white sugar that doesn't leak all over the place?
No. No we cannot.

I do this. I don't like it, but having a full head of hair means that if I put them higher my hair gets tangled in the bits that rest on the nose (which is something that makes me disproportionately cross)

I fixed this particular dilemma by throwing out all my socks (they were mostly ancient anyway) and buying a dozen identical pairs.

I fixed this by wearing odd socks. who cares.
Roller on a long pole is the answer
It’s the answer to many painting questions. My go-to method for emulsion painting is to stand in the middle of the room with said implement and paint ceiling and walls from a (relatively) fixed position. It’s less effective for gloss …
Paint rollers make me disproportionately cross - never got on with them! 😀 😀

Yep. Paint pads for the win.
If you're using rollers on poles, how do you get into the edges?

Use the poles like stilts.
Take a brush up the poles with you. Simples 😉
Forgetting to pay a toll by the following day, coming back a few days later and then remembering (when you read the signs again)
Disproportionately cross for the next few hours

Trouble with poles as well is the paint tray will never be the right distance away and you'll end up clouting the end of the pole against the wall!
Trying to do something important but complicated on the phone and at that very same moment someone in one of the Whatsapp groups decides to wish someone else a happy birthday, or post a photo of their budgie, or tell us they have a cold. Which means that Whatsapp then spends the next five minutes firing in alerts from every single member of the group which clamber all over whatever it is I'm trying to do and just when you think they've finished the ****ers start liking every post made which starts it all over again.
Folk leaving the oven door open for it to cool down.
You've just had a roast in there for 3 hours bruv. It's literally designed to endure the heat. I think it can handle cooling down for ten minutes just fine.

At a certain point you've got to send in the infantry (brush).

What kind of psychopath doesn't have all their WhatsApp chats muted?

Variable speed limits on motorways; to be specific, VSL at 3am on a Sunday morning
I took my lad and his college friends to Luton Airport and someone's either taking the piss with VSL and Warning, Queue Ahead matrix signs, or has forgotten to turn them off after last night. But with VSL cameras that set to the indicated limit, instead of a relaxing shove it in cruise I've been yoyoing down to 40/50 and back up to 70 over and over. You can't just ignore because they're clearly wrong (can you? is there a defence if you got ticketed?)
Add to this that even though there were barely any other vehicles about, most of them seem unable to understand the keep left unless overtaking....so I've been having to cross three lanes to overtake properly as well as yoyoing speed.
I'm disproportionately cross at how grumpy it's made me - but possibly due to being up at 3am has the answer to that.
You can't just ignore because they're clearly wrong (can you? is there a defence if you got ticketed?)
If it's a yellow matrix it's advisory. If it's a limit in a red circle then you MUST obey it regardless of whether the reasoning is obvious (or indeed, it's 'obviously' a mistake).
Brake rotors that don’t come with brake rotor bolts. Meaning I have to go to the LBS before I can build my bike up.
(Disproportionate because I work opposite the LBS, and I haven’t time to build the bike till the weekend anyway)

VSLs are often set to lower speeds for the sake of air quality and noise levels, so you'll find 40s and 50s near to built up areas and depending on the time of day/night.

Exit group would appear to be your solution to this... 😉
HMRC. They send a message saying "You have a new tax statement". But you can't see it online until about 4 or 5 days later, and they don't tell you when it's actually available to see online so you forget about the first message and never actually look at the statement. Why not just send the first message when it's actually available for me to see?
so I've been having to cross three lanes to overtake properly as well as yoyoing speed.
If other drivers can't use lanes properly just sit in lane one at legal speed and pass them on the left.
