Railway stations. Please remove all those pianos so that while waiting in the station, which might already not be a great experience, we don't have to listen to people fumbling around on the keyboard in a setting where the acoustics make their selfish ineptitude even more annoying.
Thank you.
Restaurants. Please don't serve food ON a napkin on the plate, such as fish in sauce accompanied by salad, as it creates a soggy wad of paper that has to be extracted from under the food and is completely pointless and utterly stupid.
Thank you.

Unless a certain Mr Tony Banks is in the vicinity in which case he is welcome to fumble around for as long as he likes.
UK hotels. Please reinstate rooms with openable windows instead of being hermetically sealed with air-handling systems, making it uncomfortable and causing the room to veer between stuffy and cold and leading to dry itchy eyes and sniffleyness.
Thank you.

Can I extend that sentiment to shopping centres as well?
With perfumes/people talking/music blaring from every shop/kids screaming it's already a sensory overload experience - why on top of that, do we have to listen to people practicing the Amelie soundtrack while their friends cheer them/film them?
Will someone please deal with that stupid car alarm.
I'll send the neighbours whose fire alarm has been beeping for hours.

And please serve food on a plate. Not on a piece of slate or a slab of wood or a basket or a mini bucket. The human worked out how useful plates are several hundred years ago after thousands is years of evolution. Many modern restaurants now seem think a bit of wood or a flat slate with a little bucket for your chips is an improvement. Mrs Farmer always cringes when she is with me and the food arrives on something unhygienic or a table mat and I ask for a plate! Plates work really well. Just the right thing to eat food from.

That sounds disgusting. Who wants to be taking bites of food mixed with mushy napkin bits? Especially fish. Gag. As a customer I would be livid. Presentation matters.
I couldn't find anywhere else to put this and it doesn't deserve a thread of it's own.
Peter Gabriel nearly went to space. First I heard of it.
Excellent article about Paula Vennells "performance" at the PO/Horizon enquiry:
"wholly inadequate holy inadequate" - what a great line!
When someone nearby you on a 3½ train journey from Inverness to Edinburgh has a loud nasal heavily vocally fried creaky voice that even pierces through what you're listening to on your headphones with the volume turned up, why are they always the sort of person who NEVER FUCKING SHUTS UP?

Dead Ringers had a sketch depicting her at the enquiry being asked why (along with the other miscreants) she seems to not recall anything, and her replying "I don't recall saying that I don't recall anything. And I don't recall saying that."
OH MY GOD A WOMAN HAS JUST GONE INTO THE TRAIN TOILET BAREFOOT! BAREFOOT! GAAAAAAAAH! 😖😧😣
That's.... it's.... I mean... it's just WRONG
To people out and about with young children. If other people step aside to let you and the kids walk or cycle past, on a narrow footpath for example, please thank them. Not only is it basic politeness, it helps teach those children good manners. Thanks.
I recently came across an intriguing looking Chinese restaurant in an search of Edinburgh. I stupidly didn't make a note of it so searched it again today. It's vanished not only from both google and bing results, including their maps, it's also gone from my search history (other results from the last week all still there) and as a bizarre side note google maps is now showing about 20 restaurants existing in the whole of Edinburgh. In the specific district I'm looking, restaurants I know exist - and which I previously saw show up on map searches - are no longer there. If I search for them by name, then they appear. Why?
People drinking liquids in public, eg on a train. You don't actually have to make that "aaahhh" sound after EVERY FUCKING MOUTHFUL. Thank you.

You would be very annoyed by an ad for Tradies beer, which features three blokes swigging beer and going 'aahh' which is something Australians are supposed to do when we drink beer. It annoys my English hubby no end.

That video isn't loading for me, perhaps just as well based on what you said! I love the idea that "going 'aahh' is something Australians are supposed to do when we drink beer"
