Banks and branches with managers you could talk to and ask for things, e.g. overdraft extensions. Nowadays you have to be on hold for an hour to speak to someone in the Philippines who doesnât know what an ISA is.

Houses
My house is 150 years old and is built to last. Very little issues. I know 2 people who have a 'newish' build house (built within the last 10 years) and because of the extreme weather the UK has had with wind the past few years both their houses need serious work. Not a single shingle has come off my roof.
New builds in the UK are built like S***E. I used to work in construction retail and traders would even comment how out of line walls/floors would be when working in new houses.

Multi stage authentication b******t. Either let websites track you constantly or have to use your password, then enter a 6 digit code that they text to you. F**k off!

Cars. Too wide, too bulky, headlights too bright, too locked in with ridiculous diagnostics and sensors and god knows what else…and they all look the f*****g same!
I bought an ’09 Vauxhall last year, hoping I can keep it running as long as possible, but I’m really dreading having to choose something else in a few years’ time.
