Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Cyclists who insist on having their front light on....in 30 degree heat, big bright yellow thing in a blue sky & I'm wearing mirrored sunglasses. And its always people with a 5 billion lumen light, capable of illuminating Gollum's entire cave...
Why?.....

And more fundamentally do not have the rear on.

People who refer the the front steering device as “forks” (plural). Sometimes compounded as “front forks”.

I always say forks. Didn't know it was singular.

You can see me from Bristol? My light is better than I thought.

Well I can see the Sun - and that is 26 million miles away!

It’s one fork with two fork legs*.

*Strictly speaking the Cannondale ‘lefty’ isn’t a fork at all.

Erm, the sun is 93 million miles away. 🤔

As for the newspaper? It can never be far enough away!

Doesn't a fork have prongs?

Doesn't a fork have prongs?

Or tines.

"Fork on the tine is all mine, all mine..."

Sod bikes, why do car drivers insist on using headlights during the daytime. There's enough light being emitted from the over bright DRLs without adding super bright LED headlights to the retina searing mix.

Edit...
Oh, and stop using the auto high beam feature. It doesn't work as well as you think it does.

Why do manufacturers put tiny pieces of crushed nut in chocolates? You can't taste them and they just get stuck in your teeth.

They are very important

My wife won't eat the ones with nuts in - so she gives them to me - so I get half of all her Christmas Chockies!!

Feeling pedantic right now...its 93 million miles. BTW, we should be able to see the Andromeda galaxy on a dark night & its 2 million light years away .
