When the hotel has left mixer taps on the shower setting causing my clothes to get drenched when I decide to run a bath, simply because I should have been suspicious enough and awake enough after an 8 hour flight to suss out that (with the shower head being right above the tap) I needed to strip before turning any taps on!

When I need to RTFM to use the room it annoys the life out of me. Technology which is overly-complicated is a perpetual bugbear, particularly when it’s for something basic like air conditioning. I’ve stayed in a hotel where the radio was impossible to use and the alarm wouldn’t stay set.
