People who beep their horns when a massive delivery truck is very obviously making a delivery to a building site and will go when it's done. Especially the ones who beep when the truck has just stopped and is clearly going to be some time. Impatient wotsits.

Taps
Taps that got too much flow, instantly looks live you've pissed yourself.
Taps that are too close to the sink so you can't get your head (to drink) / hands (to wash) under. -

Taps that blend but are always either too hot or too cold

Also that thing twats do when they’ve had to stop and wait for someone to turn off/Park/whatever, where they do an angry accelerate away just to prove a point. The point presumably being that they’re are a twat.

Driving like a twat is less important than not endangering other road users, so I’m not really with you there.
On more than one occasion, I’ve witnessed (both as the victim and as a bystander) someone doing the twattish acceleration and nearly causing serious harm because they’ve not noticed a pedestrian, cyclist or another car. -

Fast acceleration might be legal but it's also aggressive driving in an urban setting, which is antisocial and cunty, even if there's nobody in the line of fire.
What @AlexD says happens about 50% of the time when drivers have been held up by a delivery (we're living opposite a big building site at the moment) and our road has a 20mph limit which is routinely broken but always broken when people accelerate away aggressively because it's not really possible to do that and not go above 20.

Personally there is nothing I like more than leaving some mug for dust behind me, then 20 seconds later start watching them stew in my mirror because they object to me driving at only 30 mph in a 30 limit.
Must admit I've done this though. Generally I enjoy speed limit driving although the problem is people overtake you in dangerous places to go very sightly faster, because they pay road tax goddamns it so they have every right to break the law or something.

And anyone tailgating me is rewarded by diminished speed (20mph -> 18mph -> 15mph).

Yeah, I do this too. It’s mainly as a form of catharsis, but I find people do actually get the messages and back off (while seething with impotent rage).

Unnecessary acceleration to make a point, sounds like a bit of a cunt...

Impotent rage.

...equally satisfying is closing the gap on a crafty undertake and letting them steam on the inside lane stuck behind a DFS lorry.

I have to do a housewide sweep at least once a week, did consider gluing the valves once set to 3 (limit is 5). Bloody kids!

i have to go round to my mother in laws about once a fortnight because her heatings 'on the blink'. Invariably she's just changed all the rads despite me constantly telling her to just use the thermostat.

Family karaoke in the flat above me at 8pm. Sing badly and loudly whilst I’m trying to watch something/anything to drown out the caterwauling!!!

Here's what you do: get yerself a copy of Slayer's South of Heaven album, put it on repeat, turn up the volume to 11, go the pub/take in a film/go for a stroll.

Um, I would say that 8pm is prime karaoke time, no? When else would be better?
Could have just to the UK and checked inner London childcare centres, given London just exceeded its 2018 NOx limit.
