What are those extremely unimportant things in life that nonetheless drive you up the wall?

First world problems etc

For me, it's when I'm in someone's house and I see price tags still attached to book and album covers...

I mean, covers can be works of art in themselves - how hard is it to at least try and remove the dirty big sticker mucking it up? *sheesh*

On a public road?

In which case, it's not "your" space unless it's your driveway or garage, or your driveway or garage being obstructed.

My pet hate, as someone living in a residential estate in a small town, with a driveway for one car - is neighbors knocking on my door, asking me to move my visitor's car because it's in front of your house (not blocking anyone) on a public road.

You have legs to walk with? Park your car further down, it won't kill you - you get visitors too, taking up other people's "spaces" in front of their houses too, I'd gather?!

Unfortunately it is a big problem. And I live opposite a public amenity which draws in visitors.

We don't have designated residential parking with permits, there is no paid on street parking either, some houses have a driveway for one or 2 cars, others don't.

I can understand how those who don't have a driveway get territorial but fact is, it's a public road in front of your house, for anybody's use, not going about criminal activity!!! So if someone has parked there, it's probably one of your neighbours having a visitor or tradesperson in - most households have these and need parking for them. Ask them to park mindfully. And if "your" spot is taken, get over it - be happy your neighbors get a visitor, commiserate if they have to pay for a tradesperson and walk the few hundred yards to your house. It'll do you good!

Though the parking around here might be tight, a fire brigade should be able to get through - without causing too much damage themselves

The fuckers that insist on driving round the town at 2 mph looking for a parking space, or double parking while Betty "runs" into the butchers causing chaos behind them. All because they're too fucking tight to pay 40p for the car park that's directly behind the street they're shopping on.
