Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Stood at a parking payment machine in Skegness, the queue is growing longer and longe because people simply havnt got the wherewithall to actually use them.....errr all you have to do is put in your registration number (50% fall at the first hurdle)...then add time (if neccessary ) to whats displayed (1 hour) by pressing the plus key...then confirm by pressing the tick key, then pay...by card or cash.
Rocket science its not, but it seems to fuddle 70% of people judging by the time it takes them

Things designed for left handed people like cars*, keyboards, cameras, cricket, woodturning lathes etc.
Ever heard of a left-hander not passing his driving test first time?

Endulge me please, Cars and Cricket?

In this country we change gear with the Left hand (I know the throttle is on the right) and as for Cricket?

I generally find it easier to change gear in a left hand drive car, and I'm right handed, so perhaps that's an argument for adopting the European driving position...

Of course it may be that I've driven much more on the right than the left, in fact I've driven ion the US and Europe but never the UK. Japan drives on the left but that probably doesn't count as all the cars I drove were automatic.

There are many areas where left-handed people's brains operate differently to right handed people, so they may have a natural advantage. I wonder if there's any research been done on this?

If it was purely dominant hand you'd expect European and US left handers to struggle to pass their test...

You've never driven in the UK?

No wonder you find it easier to change gear with your right hand.

DPD, ups, Hermes and even the Royal Mail now give an estimated window of delivery time and many allow you to track the delivery.
DHL? “Before end of day, signature required “. Thanks, that’s my whole day messed up 😡

There is lots of research.

Left handed people were found to be more attractive, intelligent, fitter, healthier and happier than their less able right handed peers.

Yep the most modest people of all

It’s best for us to be modest. Don’t want all the “righties” to feel any more inferior than they are

Cars; precisely, the left hand does all the important stuff like changing gear, applying the handbrake, fiddling with the radio, transferring sweets to the mouth etc, while the right hand opens the door now Doesn’t even do that with that new Dutch method.
Cricket, just a little joke from someone who bowled at Lords, (Whitbread cup, but mentions it at every opportunity)
