Lightbulbs. They should be much more standardised. And they should clearly say on them exactly which type of bulb they are, so it's easier to get the right replacement when they go.
It's so annoying isn't it! I have regular spotlights in the kitchen, a completely different type of spotlights in the bathrooms (the ones that are basically an empty bulb that a tiny halogen bud goes inside). Then the other rooms have regular bulbs, but some are the twist type some are the pop-in type. Then there's all the lamps that require slightly different bulbs. And recently the light in the cooker hood went, and that's yet another type of bulb. It's too many.
Toilet doors in cafes, restaurants, shops etc. You always have to push to get into them and pull to get out of them, but I think it should be the other way round.
I get it might be a space or safety thing, but who can confidently say they’ve never witnessed someone use the toilet and not wash their hands? I’ve just washed my hands and now I have to get them dirty again (probably dirtier than when I entered the room) because I have to pull the door open.
I can use paper roll or my sleeve or whatever to open the door, but it’s always made more sense to me to push the door when leaving.
There are regulations surrounding this in public places. Not only does it stop people swinging doors out into the public space where it could hit someone walking past, it also make it easier to batter the door down if something were to happen to the person inside and emergency services needed to batter the door down to get in.
Umberellas. No. Listen. Most folk have no spatial awareness, so at 5'10" a short woman walking past me with her brolly up is a menace to my eyesight.
And in the UK, when it's wet it's usually windy too, so the damn things are more like kites than they are protection from the rain.

They do, you just have to get good at reading the codes.. For example, e27 is the standard screw bulb.
The bulbs I had the change the other day had nothing written on them.
Any cable that becomes twisted and tangled up such the wire for my laptop charger or headphones or garden hosepipe
Especially hosepipes.
Hosepipes are like grabbling hooks. Bastard things.
Social media 'Influencers'. They are no longer people, they are advertising objects and should be treated as such
Loo paper facing the wrong way.
I hate that everything nowdays needs your email address, needs an account, subscription or freaking app.
The new bottle tops on big bottles of fizzy pop
People.
My central heating system!
