Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

You've had to give those sizes in millimeters which proves my point.

If you had said 26 inches then we wouldn't have known which one of five different sizes that you meant. 559 is the most common but the others are still in use, particularly 590mm. And just to confuse things a lot of bikes use 584mm tyres that are described as both 26 and 27.5 inch tyres.

You would also have had to say 28 and 29 inches instead of 622mm. Both dimensions in inches are used for a rim with a 622mm bead diameter.

But if I walked into a bike shop and asked for 26" tyre or a 700c tyre I would have come out with those two sized tyres!

And if your 26 inch tyre had a 590mm or 584mm diameter then it wouldn't fit. People like that provide me with a plentiful source of cheap 590mm tyres on ebay.

People, including many members of the owners club, who pronounce Moto Guzzi as Moto Guzee and not Moto Gutzee.
I often ask them if they every go out for a pizzer.

I'm getting a trifle deaf.I can't tell the difference anyway.😄

Ebikes with no stand. This turns a very expensive and unwieldy object into a very expensive and unwieldy object that we have to hold upright while maneuvring the shop stands underneath.

I have had 3 - well 4 but one was faulty - and all 4 have had stands

they are sort of essential so I agree with you

Slogans that are clearly made by someone who didn't think. There was a sticker on a bike today that said

"Tolerance has no limits"

Yes, yes it does. Arguably the very concept implies limits.

I'm not sure if it's more annoying that someone thought that was smart enough to out on a sticker, or that someone else was impressed enough to put it on their bike.

Also, you've got to hope he wasn't an engineer in charge of any critical infrastructure or aircraft parts or anything

The best slogan/ statement I ever heard was from Tim the knife ( who was a GP later in life)
Fu(k off I’m fu(king fu(ked.
Tim the knife because when a medical student he once woke his flat mate Tim the fuzz up while having a knife across his throat.
Years before the here’s Jonny.

Sounds like a case of things meaning different things in different environment

If it is on a bike or plane - then it has an engineering type context

If it was used in a talk in a Church about helping people
it would sound better

which I suspect if the context it was intended in

(not as funny that way though!!!)

There were many other similar stickers: this and the cartoony style make it clear it was speaking in a social context.

When I was an engineer I could never tolerate tolerances.

Muttering shut up and get to the point at an online help video when manufacturers can't be bothered printing an instruction booklet, in the hope that Rambling Rose will stop droning on, and cover whatever you're looking for.

This isn't trivial at all. Companies burying the information you need in an unsearchable video - where you're never sure whether it's going to contain what you need to know - is enshittification. They're wasting your time and they don't care

People who "reach out to me"... usually from call centres, but millennial daughter has also started using the term.... arrggghh
