People who commit suicide by jumping in front of a train.

The faux-suspense paragraph structure that is compulsory in television history programmes nowadays.

You can't say "in 1066 William the Conqueror arrived in England".

It's got to be "On a drizzly March morning, a boat landed on a beach. A tall man in chainmail got out. He ate a croissant and smoked a Gitane. The beach was Margate; the year was 1066; and the man was William the Conqueror."

Toilet taps where the water only flows when your hand is pressing down on the top of the tap.

Especially when they have a delay long enough to make you think it isn't working so you move on to the next tap by which time the original tap starts to run so you switch back just in time for it stop again by which time the second tap is running... ad infinitum
