I´ve recently moved to the UK and there is one thing that annoys me a ton. People being satisfied with what they have.
Examples:
In my house the mail just get thrown through the slit in the door, and it keeps lying on the ground until everybody has picked up his mail. So everytime you go into your house you have to walk over the mail. I simply took a big piece of cardboard, glued 6 plates on it and added stickers on top with the name and flat number of everybody here in the house. Now you can simply throw it in the appropriate box and be done with it.
We had BBQ and they had grills without holes for air. So I simply went to engineering, grabbed a drill and made a few holes in it. In addition I took a metal bucket and drilled a few holes in there to make a "coal ignition oven". Easy and simple.
And also the people here. Once they have a job they are happy with it. Zero ambition to improve it.
tl.dr: I´m pissed off that I´m not satisfied, but everybody around me is.
