Border controls,
Calais / Dover ....Major international crossing, and as usual it seems less than a handful of people working It's like tills in the Supermarket, they never have enough staff to man all the booths and delay waiting times, then you get to check in at sailing company booth to find out you're too late for the booked crossing
meanwhile, while you're waiting the illegal immigrants are trying to work out how to get in your vehicle

Eurosport's Le Mans commentators. It's as if they're told they HAVE to talk about something - anything - all the time, non stop, with added smugness about how they were talking to so and so or how an incident reminds them of one they saw in an obscure race years ago with knowing acknowledgements from the other compensators amidst much back slapping for a point well made.

Really nice watches (especially chronographs) - that don't come with a metal bracelet option.
I have seen so many nice watches that only come with rubber or leather straps, but I can't wear them as they irritate my skin.

You may be able to get a nice aftermarket bracelet that suits it.
