Or filling stations that ask which is your vehicle/pump as you go to pay wearing a helmet.
I say mines the blue car, but my driving isn't very good.

Insurance companies.
The usual complaint that they are shisters. You agree dates for premium payments but then find they try taking money early. Every month. Then one month the money isn't there...

Why didn't anyone tell me that chain cleaner is really good at cleaning chain grease off the bike?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Are you sitting on a used car tyre in the street while the kids play on the pavement? If not, don't complain. I had kids go to one of those.
I soon got an urgent phone call and we had to leave.

Sadly armed robbers don't worry about 'No Moped' signs and wheelchair users tend to complain about steps etc.

People who keep asking me to change doors on buildings so that mopeds can't get in.

My gripe is a boiler health check. It was fine before but now isn't working.
