All but one self-service checkouts being card-only. As mad as it sounds, people do still carry cash these days.

My brother in law’s best mate was going into Tesco last week when a guy sitting cross legged outside asked for spare cash when he explained that he didn’t have any cash the homeless guy pulled out a card reader !!

In a similar vein, randomly making Rosie Webster (Corrie) dumber than a bag of bricks. For God’s sake, the woman’s mum paid for her to go to a private school. Where’s the intellectual fruit of her labour now?

Marge’s voice in some of the newer seasons of The Simpsons. Why so extra-croaky?

She's been straining her voice for money (and of course, for your viewing pleasure ) for 30+ years now. Of course her voice is going to sound ****ed.

Feral kids in coffee shops. There’s more appropriate reason for hyper. kids to be here than in the pub but it’s still annoying.

I think when they leave the coffee shops, they go into Morrisons while I'm there and scream around with those tiny trollies. It's probably the same kids.....

That’s also what I’ve noticed (feral little lads in Morrisons causing havoc).

I’ve said it before, but … yeah. ITVX. Unless you pay for Premium, the app’s virtually unusable.

Currently watching eyes wide shut properly for the first time, I'm 3 minutes in and I'm disturbed by the fact that Nicole did not wash her hands with soap after going to the toilet. She just gave it a quick 3 second rinse. I hope I can get past this and enjoy the rest of the movie. Wish me luck

Default iPhone ringtones. I’m not a big fan of calls to begin with but that ringtone is genuinely so irritating. Maybe it’s just because of what I associate it with.

Soon as the company starts telling you to see them as a family, it's all over imo.

Unless it's literally a small family run business. Then it's excusable and probably genuinely meant.

Absolutely had a dead face and then cringed when a colleague was like "but we're famiiilllyy" with a penitent face. I don't even remember what the conversation was I just know my face was as mentioned along with silence. She quickly realised I was not the one to have this conversation with and we swiftly moved on.
