What’s something really petty you’d like banned or made illegal? – 17 trivial irritations that deserve jail time
There are some things in life that everyone finds annoying, like people noisily eating with their mouths open. But there are much smaller, pettier things that piss us all off too.
Usually we have to keep these irritations to ourselves because they make us look unreasonable. But SpaceTimeCapsule89 invited r/AskUK to vent by asking users to share the petty things they’d like to see banned or made illegal. And they even had their own suggestion:
‘I think people should be banned from hogging the swings at the park. There is absolutely nothing worse than arriving at the park and a mum has her kid in the swing for 20+ minutes or for the entire time you’re there. Going a step further, they should also ban reserving swings because I’ve seen other mum’s place their kid in a swing then put their bag in the swing next to it so their friend’s kid can go in it when they arrive so they can stand gossiping while they push their kids on the swing. Infuriating!’
