Swimmers in speedo trunks.

Mine is dryrobes. I don't mind the people who have been for a swim, they can stay. It's the people who use them as a coat and walk up and down the seafront in them, it looks ridiculous.

I live in a rural area. The road is often very muddy, from mud that has fallen off tractor tyres, so much so you could skid if you weren't careful when driving over it. There is also litter. The nearest McDonald's is 15 miles away, but you sometimes see McDonald's bags full of take away remains that must have been thrown out of a car window.

Nothing much at all. It's a very nice (not posh) street

Sirens - I'm on a main street close to a hospital, so I have a noise machine to limit the disturbance to my sleep. Also, for some reason, the street sees more than its share of weird car crashes (car completely tipped over a few weeks ago, car wrapped around a tree last summer, several head on collisions in the autumn and over the winter...), even though there's a 30mph speed limit. Other than that, it's a nice street, lined with mature trees, plenty of room for parking, lovely front yards.

I did a reverse image check! I thought it was a wine rack

Sorry, that was for urbanbuddha's great find.

Litter. I imagine it's from bins that have blown over in bad weather.

We also get occasional escaped livestock. I worry so much that they'll be hit a car or tractor, so I'd much rather see them in the fields or byres.

Speed bumps, our road is a dead end. About 300m long start to finish, we have 3 lots of speed bumps.
