If you could ban anything, what would you ban?

[NewWateringCan]

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!

Religious state schools.

YES MinnieMountain, indeed all intertwining of religion and state, but schoola especially.

Ban fireworks 🎆 being sold a few weeks before special event,

Have fireworks sold only up to a week

Ban people from spitting or clearing throat and spitting green 🤮 please

People standing in the lanes during lanes swim sessions. WTAF. Do not do this. Not even against the wall or for a rest. Get out to fiddle with your goggles, catch your breath, or gas with your buddies.

Cars, detest them.... even though we need em... or maybe its the drivers?

Twitter

I said what I said

Second homes that are empty over 6 months a year or rented out. No one needs more than one home.

He gives me headaches, omg just writing this hurts

Shut it down

Free range cats. If you want a cat, keep it in your garden.

I would ban people from owning British newspapers/ other media, unless they are British citizens and live here full-time.

Parking bikes horizontally on pavements, so that they block the pavement.

One size anything. There is no such thing as one size fits all. Except maybe a scarf!!!!

Agree. Cats are vile.

Wood burners. Can't get away from the stench of them where I live

If cats are vile, so is literally everything else that shits

Excessive school activities and mountains of homework at primary school. As a parent it's a real struggle to manage everything and i honestly can't cope.

Zombie threads

Having a full-on yawn in public and not putting a hand over the mouth. Who wants to see in someone else's gob and have their smelly breath all over them?

And people who don't like cats.

I agree.

Its not cats I don't like. Its cat shit all over my vegetable patch.

Photo filters and the use of photoshopping pictures in the media.

Wanton food waste. When I’m a dictator it’ll be punished by being thrown into a rat infested dungeon for a fortnight, with just the odd mouldy crust to eat. 😈
And very fat women wearing thin, skin-tight tights/leggings, with very short tops, so that every wobble of their enormous arses is inflicted on innocent passers-by.

Punishment for failing to cover such arses with long enough tops, as above. 😈😈

The whole concept of 'big' 'milestone' birthdays, where a person's age is made into a big social occasion! And especially marking them in the workplace.

But you're singling people who are less likely to have taken part in 'wanton food waste' there. And does this apply when they're at/travelling to and from the gym wearing gym appropriate clothing?

I may have a slightly (too short) vested interest in this

I would ban people from criticising others for doing things that have no impact on anyone else.

For example, I don’t like dungarees and l wouldn’t wear them. But if I’m out with a friend who does (as happened last night), that is not an issue for me.
