Multi-layered annoyance.

Door to door sales drones. How and why are they still a thing?

Door to door sales drones visiting during the day. Why do they expect to find people at home?

Door to door sales drones visiting during the day and leaving the gate open. Firstly, opened the gate and entered property without closing it behind him. Secondly, departed via a different path so didn't bother closing the gate on exit. So, if I'd had a dog, it would have disappeared out the open gate while sales drone was on the property, let alone after departure. Utterly disrespectful of "Leave things as you find them".

Pity the camera couldn't make out which company he was from or they'd have gotten a stroppy phone call about it.

More to the point, why do they think that people who are home during the day can afford to buy whatever it is they are selling?

I can't recommend these highly enough...

Good in theory, but in this instance they'd still have entered the property to get to the door with this on.

Apparently I'm not allowed to lay a minefield and the moat drains too quickly for the sharks. :-/

OK, probably not the best thread to put this, but why didn't I keep some of my kids toys....

http://www.worldcollectorsnet.com/whats-it-worth/dinky-toys-102-joe-90-joes-car/

Probably wouldn't pay for that south of France trip, but still....

Edit - think I had all of these except the red one https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/adampartridge/catalogue-id-adam-p10077/lot-206175c7-dead-4dc9-badb-a55c00bc75a3

And even worse, that auctions in Liverpool, where I was born, what if, surely not....

What sort of shock do they put out? Farming electric fence level or more debilitating? Some humans are slow learners. 😋

Nice stuff. That kind of thing is wasted on kids though, it needs adults to buy them and stick them in a cupboard for forty years...

Also had one of these https://www.mamod.co.uk/shop-categories/1313-traction-engine

People who troll the ground level of a carpark for 5 minutes instead of going straight up to the empty next level. My mother does this and it infuriates me.

People who move their car in a mall carpark rather than just walking the 2 minutes it takes to get to the next shop. My mother also does this.

People who type in all capital letters. My mother also does this.

People who use iPhones incorrectly such as: not using iMessage, having data turned off until you need it, always force quitting recently opened apps. People who hold the phone out in front of them to speak, then put it back to their ear to listen to the other end.

Inconsistent UI between physical stores for ordering the same product from the same company. Made me drive round the building twice.

When (other) people park right next to you with their big SUV in a half empty car park when I've deliberately parked away from everyone else (and further from the shop) because I'm tired of the little paint marks people leave when they open their doors into yours and use your car as the door stop because their SUV is too big for the parking spaces.

Also, everything GSManiac wrote

Also, headlights from SUVs at night - those ones with blue LEDs that shine partially sideways into you at eye level as you're approaching - didn't they test where the beam was going to go when designing these things?
