What Annoys you? (Research)

Yes but this happened to me the other day and I didn't have any other way of paying than oyster. I had cash and fortunately for me it was worth waiting the 25 minutes.

Not being able to use cash on a bus

Relying on cards for everything.
Maybe there should be one card for everything..

People who park in dotted parking bays on residential streets, but don't park at the very end of the bay or only leave enough space for half a car.

I literally use one card and my phone these days. My phone pays for everything, including all public transport whilst the card is my door key to enter the building and the apartment. Quite liberating not needing a wallet or carrying around any metal keys. Also, no more holes in trouser pockets etc.

This.
Have suggested to local Council such parking zones have 1st/last foot indicated to show where tyre must be in contact with tarmac. No response, yet.

People with Phosphorus white teeth.

Sounds good. If I had the same deal it'd just leave the gym card and driving license
I have a bit of a key fetish though, not giving those up

That is a great idea. I've included on some questionnaire that they need to educate drivers about it, but that seems like something they might actually be able to easily implement.

These responses have been fantastic! I've noticed that some people have returned to the thread just to post again which is really pleasing to see.

None of your responses are going unnoticed, I value all of them so thank you!

It's like the I hate thread, but with a bit more purpose

Having to pay for a train journey that isn't sarisfactory/is delayed/ gets cancelled while I'm on it. Which feels like 80% of the time

Bible quotes on the side of busses

People who ascribe gender normative characteristics to infants and expect you to nod along.

I like these, interesting if nothing else. Better than a toothpaste advert

People insisting on using the luggage gates at the station when they don't have any luggage/a bike/a wheelchair.

er ... how is that annoying ?

i expect because doing this means people with bulky items take longer to get through the gateline if regular luggageless folk start going ahead of them, and as a consequence they and their items clog up the concourse more as they wait..... then they decide not to bother going through the regular barriers, the wheely case ends up getting caught in the gateline = even more congestion.

• tailgaters luuurve the bulky item gates coz they close slower.
  

That dot is supposed to be a plus symbol
