The number one thing which annoys me is when I'm in Europe and I do something stupid like rent from Sixt and they promise me a BMW 3-series Automatic SATNAV, and then when I show up, it's a Golf manual.

I drove it in first/second to another station, on the clutch a fair bit to get the special smell, and then ended the rental early, walked upstairs to Avis, and got a suitable Audi. (I don't like driving manuals in cities, I especially hate vw clutches and golfs in general, and I don't like driving without satnav in foreign countries where I have no data coverage and where the car has no good place to put my phone for google maps use.)
