Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

"Vegan leather"

There is no such thing.
If you mean a by-product of the petrochemical industry please say so.

People who proudly display the Union Jack, or Union Flag if you prefer... Upside down!

It's not difficult to get it the correct way up, is it?!

We have a large Hymer dealership nearby. There’s a very expensive motor home thingy, on their parking lot, with a grey decal across the back of an upside down union flag 😡

I suppose it could be some kind of Brexit comment but, really!

People who fly it - unless the Queen is currently drinking tea with them - annoy me full stop. Why can't these people remember what country they're in without having an aide-memoire flapping about? The rest of us can ...

If it's flown upside down, it's a sign of distress, and that the owner needs help. Always worth asking what their issue is, and can you help.

Unless there is a flagpole visible, it's a moot point as to whether it's upside-down or not.

General expectation is that the wide white bar should be on top in the top left of the flag if no pole is visible.

Oooh, don’t get me started! Chest-thumping, spittle-flying PATRIOTS who can’t even get their own flag right. Also, don’t try pointing it out to them.

Well yes - but what about those morons who fly the flag of St George upside down

Depends - there may well be an implied flagpole.

Personal choice it's called. 😉

And it's my personal choice to believe that anyone who needs to fly a flag to remind themself - or anyone else - of what country they're in, is, to put it plainly, stupid.

Fair enough, does this belief of your's extend to ALL nationalities or just English people in England?

Welsh, Scottish, German French etc?

The whole idea is outdated no matter the colours.
