Things that have bothered you for a long time.

I understand this, as I said, I'm not knocking people on Ebikes, I just thought it was harder to push an Ebike than a regular bike, or can you turn the motor on when not pedalling?

This I do not know. My guess would be no, and they're harder to push uphill on account of the weight, but if that's what you've got, that's what you've got.

They sometimes have a walk mode which powers the bike as you push it.
If it’s run out of power then it’s like an anchor.

'The point' is that you have electrical help, hills or no. Surely the answer is simply that many people who ride ebikes aren't that great at cycling and find, for example, going up 'short steep bits' too challenging, even with battery help.

I think they are so poor at cycling they don't know to change down to keep revs going, so they run out of legs and hence assistance

That's probably it then. Thanks...

My Gtech Sport needs careful nursing on hills and I have had the assist suddenly cut out leaving me with one relatively high gear. No option but to get off and push as it will not restart on a hill.

And why is crème fraîche called crème fraîche, when 'crème fraîche' is just French for 'fresh cream', but crème fraîche isn't just fresh cream.

Witnessed it again tonight on a bike ride....why oh why do adults smoke dope ....in front of their children. It's one of the lowest things you can do in my opinion. The disgust it riles in me, I just dont get why you would do that. Children are the most precious things...and they cant even be bothered to hide it from them.

Why does my neighbour's cat prefer the stagnant water in my garden to the fresh water that they leave for it?

They hate the chlorine taste of fresh tap water apparently. Or some of them do, mine used to only drink stagnant water / puddles, but in her old age she drinks straight from the tap now.

Disgusting isn't it, how people smoke dope openly on the street now. You'd think it had been fully legalised... as you say it's particularly hateful seeing dads smoking it in front of the kids. Near me these "dads" are always heavily tattooed, massively fat, bearded, baseball cap and piercings. It's always that certain type. Usually driving a "bad boy" blacked out, matte wrapped Range Rover Sport. Dicks.

One of our cats used to drink from the toilet bowl [after it was flushed obviously] and we had to instruct everyone using it to be sure to leave the lid down in case she slipped in head first.

Products released to the consumer market which aren't ready then you are expected to wait for software updates.

Software being used where hardware would have been a better choice (I'm looking at you, software buttons, instead of physical buttons).

When you call the support number for some company and they tell you they are experiencing high call volumes.
