People who enter an empty restroom that has three stalls and use the middle one. So the next person who walks in is forced to use an adjacent stall. Bloody annoying. Use an end one for goodness sake.

Even worse with public urinals... Why are you standing right next to me when you could have stood 6 spaces away!

Download a movie or TV show to watch somewhere I do not have internet.
Then when playing it, it freezes because it needs an internet connection.

There was somebody at my school who used to do that. I didn't think anything of it until years later.

How do you cope at a 'trough '?

I ask her to slide along a bit...
A reference to this incident!
A few years back, I was using one end of the trough urinal at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge and another man was using the other end. Suddenly a woman came rushing in, pushed her way in between us and turned round, knickers round her knees and squatted over the trough ...
"Hope you don't mind lads, I was bustin' and there's a long queue for the Ladies!"
Oh, and I definitely don't wash my hands in it...

The recent change to Yahoo/Sky email sign in on the PC. It used to be a single page where the email address & passwork could be autofilled and straight to the emails, now it's email address/user name on one page, password on the next and every time (so for) there's been a third page wanting to set up two step authentication.
And in a similar manner, every time I sign in to Amazon I get a text message and email from Amazon plus a push notification from the Amazon Shopping app letting me know someone's signed in and haven't found a way of switching off any of the notifications.

People coming to the front door trying to make me sign for something.
Thankfully this and telemarketing rare because it's technically illegal under most circumstances, but today I had someone from Telekom trying to persuade me to sign up to their fibre optic connection.
He started badly, by being on my doorstep unanounced.
Then he started the spiel, which assumed I already knew about it (I'd heard something, but not registered it); assumed I wanted to have a connection to the fibre optic system, and was heavy on "I need to come and check your router right now, it'll only take five minutes." It was noticably short on how much this will cost; something I've known Telekom doing before.
As I hadn't considered this, I don't really care and my current connection works for Cycle Chat and anything else I need, and if I'm going to change something I want to find out the pros and cons and decide in my own time, not in fifteen seconds flat, thankyouverymuch.
I said I'd rather make an appointment, but I was about to go on holiday so it would have to be in two weeks.
"Oh, that'll be too late" he said.
"Okay, then I'll leave it. Bye."
