List your modern inconveniences below... what little things tick you off?

For me... it's when the communal soap dispenser at work, someone adds water to it when it's running empty to make it "last longer", only to get pissy soap water that is diluted down so much that it is ineffective.

Taps in public toilets or restrooms. How did turning a tap on get so complicated. You go to turn the tap on, no turn piece, you waft your hands under it wondering if it is one of the sensor things, you try pushing the stubs on where there used to be ones that you twisted .... If you are lucky, someone else comes on who has used them before and you copy them.

"Nobody seems to know where indicators are on cars anymore especially on roundabouts !! "

That's because the cars are designed for Europe and bodged for Britain. A proper right hand drive car like mine allows some fingers of the right hand to indicate whilst holding the wheel regardless of whatever the left hand needs to be doing at a critical moment.

Imagine the response one might get from trying to fob off a continental driver with a cack handed steering column.

Drivers often don't indicate at crucial moments because they are doing something else with their left hand.

Window washing is far less of a time critical activity, which is why left hand drive market cars and their UK derivatives are set up that way round. I hoped that Brexit might eventually put an end to this ergonomic anomaly but not holding my breath while continuing to source Japanese imports.

You should be holding both hands on the wheel while turning, thus either hand should be easily able to flick the indicator whilst turning (when on a roundabout). When not on a roundabout you should be indicating before you get to the junction.

"

In an ideal world.

However, huge numbers don't hold the wheel as safety consciously as possible, hence probably the lack of bothering to indicate. Many need a hand free at all times to give emphasis to the conversation they are holding (particularly the French who the controls were configured for).

Also, in an ideal world of car design, ergonomics should matter more than the economics of production.

Needless to say I, like you and all other safety minded drivers, hold the wheel at all times other than when changing gear (if driving my manual car) but also, by choice, enjoy the benefit of a properly designed switch configuration.

Don't get me started on gear levers designed to be pulled into a gate comfortably whilst pressed with the driver's right hand from a left seat. Sometimes one needs to experience these glitches to realise that we are being taken for mugs.

I also hope that, like me, you don't drive with thumbs inside the steering wheel, as a precaution against painful dislocation in the event of a collision!
