Geez! I hate that! - Page 14

yeah! I guess you're right.....I wouldn't mind an acoustic, not likely to be running around in my undies jumping out from behind the furniture with that electric gear, probably do myself a mischief.

I reckon I'll start looking in the local music shop, he owes me a favour or 3 so should get a good deal.

there'd be lessons on youtube wouldn't there, everything else is on there.

Good idea to start at the music store & have a look - for now a acoustic will do fine. Youtube has a million things for guitarists of all skill levels, watch & learn from the ones you can relate to at this stage leave the more complex stuff for down the track. If you've got any questions, were all here for ya poppa, pm me if you need a hand!

cheers, Maka

I hate when I think 'Gee its a bit of a crappy day, lets start things off nice by taking the family into town for a nice lunch, hmmm no parks here, oh there's one, great!'

And on returning from a nice meal I see a parking ticket stuck to the front screen.

I re-read the sign and yes, I've made a mistake, but geez $60 for a genuine stuff-up?!
I hate that!

Oh and I also hate that its due to not having a Residential Permit, which you require to park in this street full of businesses.

Kinda put the dull back in to the day.

Dammit!

i hate... having Whooping Cough! At my age!

3 weeks off work & having to be reported to NSW health... yes I hate that!

Bah!

I hate that shopping centres are now looking at charging customers to park in the on site carparks real soon. I'll be buying online from that day forward or riding my push bike to the shops.

Trevor 57 · 23-07-2013, 01:58 PM

Don't pay, a local solicitor advised to not pay at the hospital car park which had employed a company to run and charge for the carpark, my daughter didn't pay, got 'solicitors' letter and all, didn't pay, then nothing, 'pox on them'

Yellow_Festiva · 24-07-2013, 12:30 PM

Neighbours who introduce themselves by calling the council making totally false accusations about what I'm doing on my land...

Councils who call me promptly after said false complaint and interrogate me on the phone like a common criminal and threaten me even after saying several times the truth of the matter and that they were welcome to attend any time....

And I have no recourse apparently with these false accusations.... seems fair.

Will be getting a 600mm extension added to the fence and will get approval to cut more trees down now....

Can't wait to meet her face to face....

Spurious · 24-07-2013, 11:09 PM

Jamming the bristles of a wire brush in to the edge of my fingernail! Now infection has set in, very painful, keep bumping it, now lots of people want their tree's trimmed...bump OUCH...bump OUCH...bump OUCH

Spurious · 24-07-2013, 11:17 PM

Finding a $1.60 p/h- 3 hour limit parking meter close to where I'm working for the day and thinking "yeah what a lucky thing", then put $2 in and get 30 mins...tic toc tic toc...DAMN IT!!!

My kid vomiting all night.

poppa smurf · 25-07-2013, 10:10 AM

bloody Paypal and its "instant" transfer........goes out of my account "instantly" but after a refund within half an hour from the seller I still haven't seen the funds back in my account after a week.

been there with the wire brush under the fingernail......not overly fond of that.

Go for it! There'll definitely be vids on YouTube.

I hate going for jobs I really, really want to do and either don't find out what happened, or do some assessments for the job and don't find out what happened.

Or even getting right through to the 2nd last stage of recruitment and not getting through. Was so effed off, angry and upset that day.

Hasn't happened to me in a while but back in 2007, I picked up my brand new Territor on the Friday, on the Sunday we shot up the cost for some and on the way back my 4yr old daughter hurled her hart up actually she must have been older than that she was sitting upright in the seat any how as she got out the seat belt retracted taking chunks into the retracting mechanism.

No big deal you say, the following morning I had to pick my boss up from the international airport as he was coming out for his anual kick my **** meeting

Neighbours who dont return your footy after it goes over the fence.

Mr_Meaner · 04-08-2013, 04:09 PM

Neighbours who kick their footy over your fence.

If you're gonna kick it long, or are uncoordinated, go down the the local oval.

if a footy comes over my fence it is an immediate invite for me to play footy with the kids who kicked it........or else it is confiscated.

my yard or theirs or street.....I dont care, I'm there, street cricket is another

blueoval · 05-08-2013, 12:50 PM

i hate road works during peak hour traffic, and when you get to drive past all the work done, you see 6 blokes standing around chatting.

Lotte · 05-08-2013, 01:25 PM

I hate walking into a meeting designed to de-confuse everyone, with a fairly clear idea of what's meant to be happening, and walking out completely confused about the last three months worth of work we've done....

First time the kids next door kicked their footy over the fence my dog ate it, next time their new footy came over they asked me to take my dog inside I told them to learn to keep it in their own yard if they don't want it chomped. I feel like clint eastwood in grand torino some days these kids **** me to tears the footy I can deal with running around my front yard and throwing lemons in my yard is starting to push it.

People who want to give you advice on your swing at the driving range. **** off and worry about your own swing.

Cystic pimples. I think that's what they call them - those hard lumpy ones underneath your skin.

I've got one at the moment on my neck, adjacent to my ear, and its the size of a brussel sprout and painful as hell! Did some thorough research on youtube and discovered that Vicks VapourRub is the bees-knees. Rubbed some on 4 hours ago and now its the size of a pea. Sweetness and light!

Just playing with my 8 year old son. Only short passes one wayward. I had to go and ask for it back cos it wasnt returned after a week. You sound like the @sshole I live behind.

haha should come to Canberra mate, we pay for parking EVERYWHERE. We also have to pay for plastic bags, may only be 15 cents but still annoying that 5 minutes down the road into NSW you get them for free.

Driving home from my parents place late last night....

Hear a funny vibrating noise coming from the review mirror.. funny, it wasn't there in the morning??

Tap the mirror several times, grab it and hold it while driving on the ripple strips to see if it's a loose screw. Nope... vibration / rattling sound is still there!

Hmmm ok... could be the toll tag is loose behind it? Nope, fixed pretty solid and holding it down while on the ripple strips doesn't stop the rattle / vibration....

Wake in the morning to find the 1 foot long steel hook I took from my parents place sitting on the windscreen right where I had left it at lunch time. I put it there so I didn't forget to take it home and I didn't have my keys with me to unlock the car....

It sat there for 100km, doing 115km/h on the freeway (Southern Highlands to Sydney) with God knows how many bends.. wouldn't have moved an inch.

Shocking memory... geeze I hate that!

Get my council rates and reading that my property valuation has dropped 10%, but the rates have increased 10%!

creative · 13-08-2013, 04:08 PM

Drivers slowing down below the speed limit to pass a stationary police car..... with no one in it. You are allowed to go past it at the speed limit you know you stupid idiots!

Glad to see the GovCo's speeding propaganda has worked!

Lucky it didn't start raining, would have been quite a shock seeing that a cross the windscreen and then gone..
