Being asked to prove I'm not a robot, by a robot.

Traffic lights in places they're not needed.

Cobblestones on cycling routes.

Casual incompetence - shop staff who aren't very good at counting money - telephonists who aren't very good at listening - managers who aren't very good at being on time.
