School buses and the completely random pick up/drop off schedule

Utter crap on the radio, but when you find something half decent, the reception if crap

Utterly shite scheduling of cable repair people....and billing department

People

Charity/junk/whoever calling late at night

Cost of kids medicines, WTF, double the cost, even for crappy own brand stuff and what's with the crap flavours? bubble gum seems to be the only one we could find recently

The neighbours dog, it's tearing the garden apart and tries to hump anything in sight...and has tiny turds all over the place

Other People

How bloody slow turtles are, especially when they're crossing the road and there are a lot of the buggers around here

Window AC unit that is starting to squeak horridly

How batteries on devices always suddenly seem to die when you need them the most

Trying to find a place to chuck batteries...no wonder people ignore state law and chuck them in with the regular rubbish

People

UPS/USPS both completely being unable to pick up any mail left out for them

How someone always seems to need to top up their car tyres just before you pull up to the air...or you then find it dead

Stuff getting stuck in the net in the boot of the car, or stuff that doesn't get held in place by the net

Amazon Instant, not being able to push video on iPad, what's the point of that and not being able to get it on Android unless it's Kindle

Sketchy Wifi....iPad can't find nearly as much as Android devices

Range of crap school lunches being offered by schools...or snacks in shops

Authors who insist on going over every detail and plot twist of a previous book in the current one, adding another couple hundred pages to the book

Holiday Inn

Candles

Kids - pens/crayons/pencils

Hmmmm...I think I'll just stop now in case I self combust....but I'll end with one more.

People.
