Plenty of things
Although I am a fairly placid person the following will have my blood pressure rising.

People who don't read error messages. Yes sometimes the message has no useful information but sometimes it will actually tell you what you need to know to fix the problem.

My inability to stop drinking completely.

4x4 drivers. Been done to death already but they really do just fuck me right off. Unless you are a farmer who needs to drive over fields you have no excuse.

They are the car equivalent of giving everyone the finger. "I'm alright but fuck you Mr Pedestrian, Mr Cyclist, Mr Motorcyclist and Mr Regular car driver. In the event of an accident myself and the vile spawn I have brought into this world will be fine. You however will be very dead or maimed. Awfully sorry about that!”

People standing on the left hand side of the escalator in the Underground.

People who wear their trousers low to show off their boxers. What the hell is all that about? You look like a fucking idiot who can’t even dress himself.

The governments head in sand approach to power. Just build the damn nuclear stations and as many offshore wind farms / tidal power systems as you can. It’s not like we have a choice and its stops us being the Russians / Saudis bitch.

Drugs. Just legalise the lot. Otherwise you just run a job creation scheme for criminals.

Suppose that will do for now…

This post may have spelling and grammatical errors in it, but frankly I don't care.

For the main part good stuff,
but escalators. They move so you don't have to. Generally there are a set of stairs for people who don't want to unwind on the glorious luxuriant travel of a smooth escalator, so why not bloody use them instead of mincing past everyone. In fact that can go down as a peeve of mine.

perhaps bacontrout
you had not realised that walking up or down escalators is quicker than the stairs. For those in a hurry. Which is why the rule is that people who wish to remain still on the escalator stand to one side, so that those wishing to have a bit of speed can proceed past.

Also some stations have stairs as emergency use only.
