Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

I get the sun in my eyes for parts of the route around mid October then again at this time of November, which I wouldn't if the clocks hadn't gone back.

I'm prepared to believe your tale of woe ;-)
But my standard answer to "clock change" moans is still "it's swings-and-roundabouts". In THIS case, you might be unlucky and have lost out, but there will be another driver who completely avoids the problem due to the change. Of course he/she may be blissfully unaware of their luck!

This does not annoy me, but I suppose it could be an annoyance for someone out there:

Some time ago, if a company dropped a product, it meant they no longer sell it.

These days if a company drops a product, it means they just started selling it.

Bloody 'ell, I've opened a can of worms here!
I was just referring to the fact that when I head off roughly east at about 7:50am I get the sun in my eyes for parts of the route around mid October then again at this time of November, which I wouldn't if the clocks hadn't gone back. I don't have the problem coming home at this time of year as it's dark by then.

Serves yer rights !
Personally now , I think we ought to do away with seasonal changes. Less fuss and expense
In fact ,I do not change any timepieces I own ,unless t'interweb does, i just add or subtract the HR, cant be arsed stabbing buttons in the vain hope of changing time.
Iny working life as a postie, daylight hours to work outside is a blessing, as well to all those who had outdoor jobs , the time change was welcome.

It is rather odd. There have been a number of campaigns asking for the clock changes to be scrapped, many people don't like them. But almost every country in the world outside the tropics implements changes of an hour at around the same times of year.

Yes, it was great fun during the year-round BST experiment 50-odd years ago, watching from our classroom as the sun rose at a quarter to ten.
