Two things:
Flush toilets that make it more difficult to do a half flush than a full flush. I wee more frequently than I poo, and I suspect that is the case for most people. Therefore the half flush should be the default option & the full flush should require more effort.

The number lock on keyboards. The default option should be that it's locked on. Who the heck uses it for its other purpose?? I have to turn it on twice every morning to log my computer in at work. Does my head in!

(I never use the number keypad, never been able to get in the habit.)

Touchpad devices that use an alphabetical keyboard instead of a qwerty one.

Won't be able to check until Monday whether £4,800 of chemicals have been destroyed by somebody's carelessness.

Fumes at work that could have been avoided if the sealers and painters had been booked for Saturday. They told me the manager wouldn't pay the Saturday charge so we had to suffer the nausea. The manager's on holiday of course. A big, fat f**k you to us not on holiday is how I see it. Git.
