People who buy non stick pans. Why would you want something that lasts 5 minutes and leaves chips of plastic all over your food, stops you from using proper utensils on it etc?

User error? I have years-old non-stick pans and have never experienced any of the problems you cite.

Rabid Social Media. Everyone’s entitled to a voice, but the vitriol some people carry around with them is very disturbing.

LOUD ADVERTS using rock ‘music’ on classical music stations – looking at you Cfm

If it's any consolation, one of the rock stations (probably Planet Rock, I'm not 100% certain though) is currently inflicting us with adverts for a classical station too.

Pineapple on pizza 🙁

When I was younger my mum used to put banana in with home made curry. Why?

Anyone who watches Love Island, towie, etc.
Abbreviating Until to Till - you're adding a letter. Surely it is 'til?
Anyone who orders EXpresso.

kitchen towels that don't absorb water.
shoe laces that come undone, even when tied tightly in a double knot.

too many other things to list.

British herd behaviour. So things like panic buying, clogging up the motorways on the first day of holiday, and accepting super long queues for places like the M6 and the local supermarket carpark. I've lived in and/or spent significant amount of time in a number of countries and never seen anything like it.

All potato crisps.
Greasy, tasteless, pointless waste of a good spud.

Water saving urinals.
Urinals that don’t flush then.
Groundbreaking.

There's a bit more to it than that.

...holidaying in Dubai or the like (double whammy of no morals and no taste)

...driving a w**ker tank (double whammy of no morals and no taste)

...people who HKLP (huge cross over with people who commit the crimes above)

...people who say "pacific" when they mean "specific"

People who move to a woodland area and moan about the trees/leaves/pine needles etc
People who leave/drop/throw dog poo bags
People who douse themselves in aftershave/perfume (usually stinking smokers to hide the stench, did I mention that they stink?)

Very religious christians who vote tory and don't like the principles of socialism. Seems counter intuitive.

Populist political stance of otherwise intelligent people. (I totally get the politicians reasons)

Why catholics and protestants perpetuate dehumanising each other to the point of hatred. in Glasgow. Pretend it's to do with football, stain every aspect of life with it (for example, the indy ref was largely judged IMO not on the benefits of choice, but on which group votes one way, the other group votes the opposite) and make it an instant judge of character (the first question asked if you meet someone is 'do you work?', like it's optional, the second, 'what team do you support?') it all seems incredibly backward thinking and anti progressive.

Bus drivers who don’t wait for people to sit down before pulling away from the bus stop;
Taxi drivers who use their horns instead of knocking on the door;
People who moan at the council about the streets being full of litter, not stopping to think that it is people who drop litter, not the council;
A room full of drama teachers listening to Björk;
Grown men with replica shirts worn over their jumpers, who stand up and stretch out their arms when the opposing team fail to hit the target;
An assortment of scriptwriters, novelists and playwrights who own Agas but don’t know how to use them;
A musical equipment reviewer responsible for an article titled “Microphone of the Month”;
A woman who described herself as “A little bit Bridget, a little bit Ally, a little bit Sex And The City” and chose to call her baby boy Fred as a childishly rebellious attempt at a clever reaction to those who might have expected her to call him Julian or Rupert. Bit of advice: call him Rupert, it fits, and besides it’s a good name. Don’t be calling him Fred or Archie, with all its cheeky but lovable working class scamp connotations, unless you really do have plans for him to spend his life in William Hill’s waiting for them to weigh in at Newton Abbot.
Also being held is a whole wall full of teenagers spitting needlessly;
An amateur thug in camouflage trousers whose Japanese fighting dog had run amok on a Swindon council estate;
A man from the record company who said that George Michael continues to challenge social taboos through his music;
Lisa Riley;
Continuity announcers introducing comedy shows;
A pub band who get uppity when everyone goes to the bar during a song they’ve written themselves;
A group of football fans referred to as Commodores, as in once, twice, three times a season, who feed sugar lumps to police horses at Cup Finals;
An artist who said his next album would be more “song-based”;
A man who informs people that he gets up at six am every morning and seemed to want a medal;
People who say they speak as they find and are somehow proud of it;
Journalists who try to spell an interviewee’s laugh;
An organisation who declared an awareness week for awareness weeks;
And a council worker who dropped litter.

****ing geese

How big planes fly and really big boats float. Don’t get me wrong, I know how it works, but every time I see the former flying and the latter floating my brain sort of goes “argh, how”

Hating people or a group of people for any reason. Individuals makes sense, whole groups I can’t fathom.

Why we still make plastic if nobody wants it.

Tattoos. Yes they can look really beautiful when first done (and I can really appreciate some of the tattoo artists out there) but fast forward 20 years and they look crap and won't look particularly stylish anymore.

Use of the word 'super' to accentuate something instead of just saying 'very' "OMG it was SUPER good"

Use of the word 'absolutely' instead of 'yes'

Timpsons - not being equipped to re polish my leather shoes after a diesel incident, they are a shoe repair shop ffs!

Littering - Any littering but lobbing out of a car window really boils my pi$$

Dog owners with dogs off lead - The ones that shout across the park "Fido won't hurt you and he is fine with other dogs" As Fido proceeds to snuffle underneath my dog (on lead) and getting more and more tense before eating Fido. Then you hear "ooooh that's never happened before"

Ties.
Wear one if you like but don’t insist others should.

Listen I want to dress like a 17th Century Croatian Mercenary and I bloody will. Don’t embarrass me by not joining in.

STW delivers again, I had no idea Croation Mercenaries invented the necktie !!!!
It's not a bad look 😉

There's nothing much I find incomprehensible, different folks different strokes. But why do pedestrians cross the road without looking whith the red man still showing, the traffic stopping from one direction only means its coming from another !!!!@

Am I alone in finding the new Red/green man is on the button box system impossible to use. I appreciate it stops me looking at the traffic lights and using them as opposed to the crossing light, but I hardly notice when they are green these days.

There's a lot I don't get these days, but very little I care about!

Middle lane drivers?

Why no one else found this hysterically funny.
Why people care what others wear, tattoos, hair etc.

Coffee, tastes like burnt arseholes and is addictive as smoking. If you can't look at the likes of CostaBucks opening new shops on every corner and often multiple shops in relatively small towns, in eye sight of each other and think they're not exploiting their customers you must be quite mad.

Bottled Water, I live in Wales, do we really need to take water from France, stuff it into plastic bottles and ship it hundreds of miles here? Nuts.

SUVs in general, 99% of them never go off-road, more than 80% of new ones on sale today were never designed to go off-road. They're pointlessly big on the outside, inefficiently small on the inside and every part of their design is at odds to good car design.

'Sporty' SUVs same at the above, only with a massively over-powered engine, it's pure Golf Club bragging rights. Revolting and tasteless.

Loveisland (obvs) I can't be the only one who sees they're horribly damaged people who should be in counselling, but we're feeding their disorders instead.

Mrs. Browns Boys, I know it's supposedly to be a comedy, but it's somehow not?

Trump and Boris leering more and more to the nasty right, that's pretty easy to comprehend, why instead of being political suicide it's only making them more popular I can't understand. It reminds me of that Michel and Webb sketch when they're in the SS uniforms. Trump is screaming "send her back" and the crowd are joining in, but no one is pausing for a moment, thinking about what they're doing wondering "are we the Baddies?"

Singlespeeds and especially Fixies, To me it's like those people who like hot wax dripped on their 'bits' why do that to yourself, is your life to easy and carefree you want to make your hobby more unpleasant than it needs to be.

People who take up vaping not to quid smoking, because they want to. The sort of thought pattern that says "I'm going to voluntarily get myself addicted to a drug that has no high, so I can see what 'strawberry' steam tastes like. Did they not learn from their parents generation how stupid that is?

STW binaries who grew up lonely still as angry as ever about vaping, dogs, cars, music, sports they don’t like and bikes they don’t ride, but most of all they’re just angry at themselves. 😀

That’s not at all incomprehensible though.
