Dermot on This Morning thought they were disgusting 😄 What should be illegal? Men in Lycra. And most women in Lycra! Wearing fluffy house shoes everywhere but the house!

Weird crisp flavours. I can't even imagine what these taste like! That one does sound weird! Chip manufacturers love to come up with weird and wonderful flavours, most of which are underwhelming or even awful. But on the weekend I bought a packet of Malaysian Beef Rendang flavoured chips, and OMG they were sooooo good! They really did taste exactly like Malaysian Beef Rendang! DSO and I were practically fighting each other to get to the last chips in the bag.

Is a Budgie Smuggler what we would call a banana hammock in the US? I'm not posting a picture of them, but it's the Australian term for those tiny Speedos that some men think they look good in. Yep! We call them banana hammocks. 😂😂

And in the same vein, car horns being played in radio adverts shouldn't be allowed. I can't count the number of times I've looked all around me, wondering what I've done wrong and who is hooting at me, only to realise that it's on the radio. I’ll add doorbells and people knocking on doors. It drives my dogs crazy when they hear the doorbell. It’s annoying enough when someone is actually at the door. Much worse when it’s on the tv. Signs on your ! If you own your own home, disable your doorbell. Get ring or August or other system and they will let you know when you have visitors.

People who don't realize they have to pay for their groceries or other items until everything has been rung up by the cashier. And then they have to fumble around in their purse or wallet to find their card to pay. Also people who don't follow the limit for express lanes.

I'd try those crisps! I think that flashing blue lights for domestic outside Christmas lights should be illegal. Being distracted whilst driving by something that looks like approaching emergency vehicles is downright dangerous. And in the same vein, car horns being played in radio adverts shouldn't be allowed. I can't count the number of times I've looked all around me, wondering what I've done wrong and who is hooting at me, only to realise that it's on the radio. Those terrible flashing LED lights on bicycles and cyclists these days. Also dazzling, dangerous and distracting. Yes snd sirens. I have looked around trying to see if I needed to move over and it’s not a good thing.

It should also be illegal to get out of your row on the plane before the rows in front of you have disembarked unless the flight crew specifically announces that some people have tight connections and to let those people out first. Some of us have claustrophobia and standing can help ease it. Along those lines, taking your sweet time to get out of your row on the plane is the worst. I can understand if you have a valid reason (small children/limited mobility/etc), but some people like to be slow to be a pain to everyone else unfortunate enough to be in the rows behind them.

She is too old to change, and I've honestly stopped trying to get her to change. She carefully watches every item the cashier rings up to make sure the price is correct. Then when told the total, she'll get her wallet out. And she pays in cash. And she tries to make exact change. I try to take her shopping when it is not too crowded.

I think wearing too much/strong perfume should be illegal. OK officer - lock me up! Guilty, highly likely to reoffend and have no remorse for my crimes.

What a way to ruin crisps and Christmas pudding. This is wrong! Budgie smugglers 😱 Is a Budgie Smuggler what we would call a banana hammock in the US? Australian here - we call men's bather's (swimmers - or whatever you may call them) that look no more than a pair of undies 'budgie smugglers' not a good look at all. They should stop making them imho.

After all, we’re not barbarians. I am strongly in favor of a legally mandated “square inches of skin per square inches of fabric ratio.” I don’t want to see your big fat @$$ oozing out of a pair of short shorts or your fella’s gut in a tight t-shirt. We see a lot of potential violations in Florida.

Takes the fumbling to a new level because they have to find a pen and ID. 😵💫

Driving with your dog on your lap. I checked Google to be sure. It's only illegal in Hawaii and New Jersey.
If it's not safe to drive with a baby on your lap, it's certainly not safe to drive with a dog on your lap.

I see that too - often it’s not a good look but it’s not as visually disturbing as men all but showing me the details of their package 🥴

LED lights on vehicles. Even the tail lights are too bright when I'm behind someone at a traffic light... When your headlights are lighting up the road in front of my car, they're too much. Combined with rain, and night driving night it makes being able to see the lines on the road extremely difficult! THIS! One thousand times THIS. I hate them. I know they're so you can see but at the cost of blinding other drivers. I wish they'd make them illegal or something.

Music being played at a wedding/dance, etc. so loudly that you can't talk to one another without yelling.
Just leaving your shopping cart in the middle of the parking lot instead of putting it back into the cart enclosure.
Man buns. Sorry if this offends anyone, but I think they are simply ridiculous looking and should be outlawed.

Walking in public with your damn face in your phone!
I was walking to a stairwell in a doctors office this morning and this woman was just standing at the top of the stairs staring at her phone. I was the only one who was coming up to the stairs but she was blocking the entire stairwell so I said, rather loudly, " Excuse me". She jumped and apologized. I wanted to say that maybe she should have stayed in her car to read her phone.
The same thing at the gym. People sit on the machines, benches, etc. just reading their damn phone. I do my entire workout (1 hour) and a lot of times, they are still sitting at the same machine. Imagine how much you can get done if you would get your damn face out of your phone.
It should be illegal because it is dangerous. If someone is walking across the street with their face in their phone, I yell "Look up".

She'd get all her stuff through, then dig for her checkbook! Publisher's Clearing House sales of magazines and garbage to the elderly. Someone I know found out their 90+ year old mother was spending hundreds of dollars on junk through them every month.

People who exit a revolving door, elevator, escalator, etc, then immediately stop to look around, chat, check their phones, etc, cluelessly & dangerously blocking everyone behind them!

Being ignorant should be illegal. We're gonna need more prisons! Not returning your cart/buggy to the corral or the store. Not using your blinkers.

It is illegal in California. The cop could pull you over for not using your blinker.

Cop was probably looking to get him for something. He made a lane change and the cop said he did not have his blinker on long enough before the lane change. I think you have to signal something like 100' before or something. Beside the improper use of the blinker, he also got tagged for an unsafe lane change.
