From being cut up on the motorway to the use of bad grammar, what small events get people the most riled up?
The font of all knowledge, Reddit asked the question, and people answered in their thousands.

Who are these people?
“People who finish the toilet roll but don’t put a fresh roll on the holder.”
Phone users

Rogue hairs
“When I put my hair up in a ponytail but miss a small section and I don’t notice right away and then the section touches me in the face and I’m in the middle of doing something so I can’t get it out of my face right away oh my god it makes me want to jump off a bridge.”
