Yes I can identify with your feelings.
The lift and doors particularly. What is the point of a speaking lift if it
sounds like a gagged ventriloquist?
Its actually digital normally, but the problem is either the speaker itself
or maybe the muck inside it
Doors in NHS, yes many many of those about. The annoying ones are those
which have a little lever at the top so the doors closing in the wrong order
is supposed to trip the other one to open enough for the first one to slip
behind to prevent draught. In fact what happens is it gets wedged part open
due to all the friction and the wind howls though the gap.

Do you ever go to a public place and wish you could fix something before
it
gets worse? Just been to a hospital.

Powered doors that have worn the hinges and the door is rubbing on the
floor.

Press down taps that don't progressively close and dribble from the top.

"Doors Closing" voice in lifts unclear - surely not a tape recording!

Nursing staff unable to wind up cables tidily.



Yes - I am a sad git who takes a screwdriver on holiday with me and a
spare
washer for between the shower head and hose as they usually leak.
