So, while being the grumpy old man, I would add:
- Chewing gum. (A research topic: plot the abundance with distance from an exit of Oxford Road tube station - not exponential, but a power law I suspect). The plaza of the British Library resists heroically!
- Feet on seats. Default behaviour if you are under 30. Place the sole on the edge to effect maximum transfer of dirt.
- Street sweeping behemoths, shimmering with exhaust heat, usually on crowded pavements. Totally disproportionate solution to a problem.
- Gas heating outdoors on pavement cafés and in pub gardens. Literally burning money, even if you don't believe in global warming.
