As above.
This is one of my favourite topics of conversation. It can be anything you like, no rules, but ideally small, petty, and lighthearted. It usually is things that aren't already illegal, but it can be, as not all laws get followed. It can be anything you want!
Lighthearted, if possible!
My list includes but is not limited to,
fireworks
glitter
people spitting
children running at pigeons
balloons
daylight savings time
loud cars and motorbikes
my vacuum running out of battery
having a cold nose.
Please, tell me yours!

When I am dictator of the world I will ban fireworks first. I'll only allow then in community displays once a year and they will not have bangs.
Giltter will be out too, and people who play music on their phones without headphones. None of that.

Good point @PrettyPlatapus
And fireworks

I agree with all these, and am going to add confetti. I hate the stuff.

Electric scooters
Face masks
The word “safe”
More than one car per household being allowed to park in our cup-de-sac
Library fines

I could go on and on at this game!
DH would undoubtedly say tattoos but they don’t really bother me.

And when I say cup-de-sac obviously I mean cul-de-sac!

Unsolicited religious evangelism - to include street preaching, cold calls, doorstepping, unwanted mail. If people want to explore religion, let them seek it out of their own volition.

Smoking pot where I can smell it, smoking where I can smell it or vaping where I am walking.
Chewing gum.
Alcohol in desserts.

@Ohyesiam
does that include eyebrows though?!
I do sort of agree, I find it a bit annoying that I have such a determined beard, but I have to admit I do enjoy plucking them, so I would miss doing that.
Pinkandpurplehairedlady · 10/01/2022 20:59
I’d ban smoking and glitter.

Yes the indicator one is a great suggestion!
