Seemingly trivial things that elicit an emotional response of some kind

Tina Turner works and is recognisable as a caricature, but I had no idea the second one was Lucille Ball. At least they changed that later for a more recognisable one.

I'm all for artistic interpretation but crikey this new statue in her home town really doesn't do her justice.....

I didn't even recognise the statue of this groundbreaking lady:

I got Tina Turner right away. Mostly due to the wig it must be said.
 
Grrr emotion.

Just noticed that a bag of Taylors coffee beans is now just 200g, puffed up with air. I I've been annoyed enough for ever that UK bags of coffee were 8oz (227g) as opposed to 250g in the EU, but now, when it suits them, the 8oz size disappears so that they can shrink the pack.

My 105 freehub (FH-5600) has finally died and it seems impossible to buy a new one. Maybe that should trivially make me happy, because it means I don't need to try and fit it, but it doesn't, it's just annoying having a broken bike. Anyway, I therefore need a new wheel which is not cheap and much harder to buy than it used to be as they're all fatter and using discs now. Plus the hub is wider, so I need to locate a spacer which is in my garage somewhere.

One for sale at a sensible price. One of the those search results is even people on Reddit discussing how they can't find it.

Yes, but I can't see one for sale for that price.

What cassette are you running? The spline pattern didn't change from 9-11 speed and as far as I could ever tell neither did the interface with the hub.

So I think you could order any 11 speed Shimano free hub and use it with any 10sp cassette with a spacer. (The other way around is trickier, but I did manage for several years).

Similarly, as far as I am aware, 105, Ultegra and Dura Ace freehubs differ only in terms of the box they are put in. So if you are 11 speed, and other 11 speed will do.

Shimano say that an FH-5800 is not compatible. The cassette is compatible with anything.

What speed system were you using? I may have a wheel in the shed you can have (not sure if its 9 or 10 speed)
