Default Gripe of the day - What is yours?

My gripe?
My son leaving his coat at a swimming pool. Not the local pool though. One that added 50 miles to my commute.

It's the original from 2010. They're known to be weak, just annoyed cos I really needed the bike!

Looks like I'll be splashing the cash on the Tiger, battery plus chain and sprockets now required.

That's probably not too shabby for a bike battery.
