To be sent the long way round by direction signs on the Underground
when there are much quicker, unsigned routes

Programmes that require minimal brain power to enjoy. Invaluable when whacked after a long week – eg, Inspector Morse repeats

Toilet door signs with ambiguous graphics to deliberately blur the
distinction between the men’s and women’s.

A coaster that sticks to the bottom of your cup/glass and then
falls on the floor

The uncertainty that comes from a foreign traffic light showing an

side like a soggy nylon magnet

A leaving do gift that is left behind in the drunken cab ride home

The distracting tiny fluffy ball of ink that forms on the nib of a
biro when writing
