Hate: I put down five things and then realised they are all caused by inconsiderate people, so I'll just put that as one! Otherwise, wasps, hot weather as it gives me a headache, the fact there aren't nearly enough cycle paths and the world is set up for cars and the fact the world is increasingly set up for dog owners.
