Especially nowadays where there is more rip than jeans, can't be very warm this time of year
If its a Samsung TV in a hotel you can turn off Hotel Mode easily and reset it so you can retune to all the Freeview channels.Bloody hotel televisions - every time I book into one somewhere, the bloody thing's knackered.
Delivery drivers, who can hear the door bell when they press the button, but still insist on banging the door half a dozen times.
I believe Amazon delivery drivers generally drive to pre-determined timed routes. I'm not sure how it works but I think they may be timed per address rather than per parcel. It may be down to pressure to keep to an unrealistic schedule rather than laziness.In my block of flats the other week I found a whole load of Amazon parcels just dumped on the floor of the lobby - the lazy little %^%£$£$@ hadn't even bothered to take each parcel to the front door of each flat. That is something that needs to be banned.

Don't use them then. Don't know why people moan about a company yet continue to use them.Yes, but dumping all the parcels for one block of flats in the lobby, where anyone can pick them up, is not really "delivering" them.
You don't often have a choice. If you're buying from a particular company it will be their choice of who delivers, not yours.Don't use them then. Don't know why people moan about a company yet continue to use them.
and 'easy iron' - I have a lot of shirts which apparently are easy or no iron.Things being advertised as "easy clean", because they usually aren't. We have a cupboard half-full of kitchen gadgets that fall into this category.
Then find a company that sells the same item but uses a different courier. It's no wonder rubbish services and products thrive as people are to bone idle to put any effort into looking for themselves.You don't often have a choice.

They might not volunteer the information on e.g. a checkout page, but quite often you can find it by poking around in the FAQ section. (Often there is something generic like "When will my order be delivered?" which says something like "Hermes will text you on the day of delivery with a time slot").Companies hardly ever say who they use. Making it a legal requirement to do so would be a start.
I'd just ban any sachets of any sort of sauce. Even if you can get the things open, there never seems to be enough for a full portion of food so you have to use several of them. Particularly egregious is vinegar, because once you have the sachet open, you have to keep it perfectly upright lest the pathetic few drops inside spill (or rather dribble) out.HP Sauce sachets that you cannot open.
My friend, she loves sauce with her food. She now carries a small pair of scissors to open them. I agree about the quantity in the sachets, a sheer waste of time and money. I need a at 6 sachets of tomato sauce.HP Sauce sachets that you cannot open.

The above would exclude tartare sauce. It's dreadful - if it remains in the packaging forever that's a plus in my view.

You should try proper Korean noodles especially the kim chee based flavours, definitely clear your sinuses outI would ban those sachets of curry powder supplied with instant noodles that are so strong that they set the fire alarm off. (True. I thought I would try the Tesco packets as they are cheaper and weigh more than Morrisons: two minutes later off went the alarm in the hall.)
On the subject of pauses in announcements the game shows where they say "and the winner is......" with a long pause. Just get on with it the daft pause adds nothing bar irritation."we'll be calling at... London Paddington... and... London Paddington... only"
Very irritating. But not as irritating as the long gap between "welcome aboard...", "we will be calling at..." and "the next stop is...". About 5 or 6 seconds between each; you think the announcement is done, then it carries on! Followed by the interminable "this is a security message: if you see something etc"
All should be banned
