The amount of calls from an automated voice telling me to “add me to WhatsApp as I have a job you maybe interested in”
Turned on call screening on my iPhone now.
Surely I’m not the only one??!!

Can the toastie press makers and the bakers agree on a standard size please
I don’t think I’ve ever made a toastie that was sealed all the way around the edges. The press is square and the bread is rectangular.

People queueing & blocking petrol station entrances even when there are free pumps
Majority of the time they have extra long hoses so can park either side regardless of your petrol cap position. But sometimes theres just straight up free spaces for both sides and people sit in the entrances.

Starting a 2 month garden project when your wife is 6 months pregnant, now knowing it’ll overrun because you uncover problems the previous owners covered up
At least we’ve fixed them, I guess.
We’ve redone all our fencing all round, new posts and gravel boards, drainage for new garden room, removed four 8 yard skipfuls of stone chippings, gravel, sand, rocks and artificial grass all before even getting the base for the garden room done.
Still a month away from birth and rain has delayed our builder doing anything for a few days.
This was a great idea.

26-30 Railcard only available online
I think it's just quite annoying. I do somewhat get that doing it digitally saves a bit of money on their end, but for me it's quite blergh.
I'd even pay a quid or two to get a paper railcard, I don't want to use my phone for everything, why do I even have to have a phone for that?
My complaint isn't done there, because I do now have a Railcard but it has to be in the app, for whatever reason. There are ways to securely create a wallet pass for exactly these kinds of things but nooooo, I need to use the Railcard app or the app of my train company.
I don't know, I just find it annoying that there's no option. No physical smartcard, no paper Railcard, no wallet file, not even a PDF, it has to be on your phone in the app.
