A lot of road problems could be fixed by people reading signs...
"Keep left unless overtaking"...fairly self-explanatory, but apparently it's written in Mandarin to most people for all the notice they take. Speed limits...yes indeed, they are a maximum, but the idea is that they are the speed you should be travelling at on that piece of road. ...and the list goes on. Other issues? Anyone upgraded iTunes lately...? Can't say that's any easier or user friendly than the old version, that's for sure... |

Me: Are you not trying to lose weight?

Rinse and repeat the very next day and everyday for that matter. I am guilty of doing it tonight but, I had takeaway and chose the one meal that has more kj in one meal than your allowed in a day. But difference is, I will be straight back to said diet tomorrow. |

when ebay or other said sites change their format!! They obviously have never heard "if it isn't broke, don't fix it!!!"
& when Microsoft "update" their system making it incompatible with your other programs/frequented sites |

1. My neighbour...apparently it's okay for her to throw her cigarette butts, tea bags, sink plugs, dog clippings, etc. out of her kitchen window into my yard...apparently it's also okay for her to feed my Staffy (who's already well fed enough)!
2. Traffic - indicators aren't confirming actions, a forty zone is not an excuse to try to kiss my bumper because you're oblivious and can't see the very clear signs that say 40, the people who see the gap you've left in front of you for the 'hallucination braker' and decide that their vehicle will fit in there, people who slow down when you can't overtake them, but as soon as the overtaking lane appears, they're suddenly race car drivers. 3. People who blame others for things, even when it's very clear they are wrong. 4. Hateful people - bigot, racist, I don't care...they irk me. 5. Repeating myself... That's about it, for now.

One way to get an advantage in traffic and get an idea what that guy at the other set of lights/stop sign is about to do, is ride a motorbike for a while...
You find that you stop looking at the indicator...which could or could not mean anything...and instead look at little details. Are the wheels turned in the direction he's about to go? You also start looking at the driver to see where he's looking, instead of just trusting his indicators... |

Lining up at the checkout at woolies behind a lady, who is on the phone. The checkout person will say "that will be $xxx." Takes her time to finish call. Remove bag put in phone, throw bag over shoulder. Then watch the light bulb illuminate above her head, ahh thats right I'm going to have to pay for my purchase. Remove handbag from shoulder, proceed to rat through 15 kilos of crap to find purse. Re-position handbag on shoulder. Open purse to find card. Shut purse. The console operator says "do you have a rewards card?" Open purse again sift through 27 cards. "I know it's in here somewhere". Then phone rings, remove handbag from shoulder, sift through her bag again to find phone, put handbag over shoulder again.Yapping on the phone while looking for rewards card in purse with one hand. "here is the rewards card". Finally pay the bill. Replace cards in purse. remove handbag again, chuck in purse. handbag on shoulder. Continue yapping on phone, too busy to say "thanks" to checkout chick. Remove bag again, put in docket, repace bag. Look away from checkout while wingeing on phone, finish call, remove bag, put phone in, bag on again. I greet checkout person with a "hello" but she has no where to put my items as lady has not loaded her trolley.I load my trolley directly, instead of having my items placed where it is easy for the operator. So said lady loads trolley finally. She gives the operator an animal like grunt and an evil glare as if to say "Don't rush me".
At last she has gone or so you think. I have cash out ready to pay. "do you have a rewards card?" I am asked. "No" I reply in a friendly tone. Collect my change, say "thank you, have a great day" and wander over to the smokes counter. Guess who is at the smokes counter? She looked disturbed having to interrupt her phone call to tell the girl what type of smokes she was after. Too busy for a hello, a may or a please. Repeat entire payment performance. Again too busy on the phone to say "thanks". Heard her winging to someone on the phone that "no I can't do that there are not enough hours in the day". Get my smokes with a please and thank you included and my shopping is complete. I see her again in the car park. Guess who is too busy to push her trolley 12 metres over to the trolley storage area? Instead she spends 30 seconds positioning it in such a fashion that it wont start rolling down the slight hill at that precise moment. I think a suitable punishment would be for her to be pulled aside and watch a video of her shopping performance over and over for a few hours. Then go and collect all of the trolleys that others are too busy to put in the holding bays. I normally go shopping at 6am when there is no-one else around. A payment by cash only lane would be a plus. |

I will add a new petty one. No work today but I managed to knee the front door and it feels like I bruised the bone, so I am hobbling around. Did the grocery shopping anyway. So get home, put the shopping away, make myself a really nice healthy lunch, kids are at school and think to myself "yep there is a few show on foxtel to catch up on"
So I proceed to the family room, sit down and get comfy, my knee is killing me putting any pressure on it. Take a bite of my lunch, grab the remote to the tele, only to find the kids turned the tv off at the tv. I have told them so many times not to, but today because of my knee was more annoying than usual. |

Couldn't think of what to say in this thread, so I'll mention what I saw on my Facebook news feed.
It appears I've got a friend who's an anime lover and he shared some meme picture that says "Anime is not cartoons, when will people understand that!" I'm sorry but this is absolutely ridiculous! By definition it is freaking a cartoon! Quote:

a fair while ago, when my eldest was living at home, there was a special on large screen plasma tv's so "self", I said, "self, I shall purchase two of these".....one for me, one for the boy!
unbeknown to me the two remotes worked on either tv unless otherwise programmed....I know as much about this stuff as I do about nuclear science sitting in the easy chair one night enjoying watching the new idiot box it suddenly changed station....."strange" I say's and put it back, a few minutes later it did it again 3 times in total until i got up to see what i could see at the tv......turning round, after finding nothing amiss, I see my son, his remote in hand standing behind my chair laughing so hard he had tears running down his cheeks. kids are buggers at times

( 14 year old boys don't think too clearly anyway, so I'm sure you can guess how the conversation went) My other "hate" ( aside from many I share with others in this thread) Here's how it goes: My Wife calls out and tells me something, usually from another room. I don't hear her, therefore I'm accused of either not listening or being deaf. Reverse the roles, and I'm then accused of "mumbling" or not speaking clearly!!! We've been married over 10 years so obviously this is a battle I'm never going to win. I rest my case....... |

We, being I.T. students, quickly figured out that they worked on ALL MacBooks... While I now feel like a complete and utter prat for even thinking it, at the time it was rather hilarious to watch people pull out their new shiny and suddenly erupt into a rage mid-lecture as these MacBooks shut down for no apparent reason, or the volume skyrocketed as they were watching something unrelated to the lecture... yeah... we were 'those kids'... *sigh* @AK99, I get the same thing, except mine decides just as I start to take a shower is THE BEST POSSIBLE TIME to engage me in our financial planning for the fortnight coming, then gets annoyed when I don't know which bills are coming out on what date at what time and why the train drivers cap is BLUE not RED traveling in a north/north-easterly direction at precisely 82km/h on the Cleveland line... Also, cleaning MY car is me being obsessive... cleaner HER car is a necessity... A bloke at work has a saying which I've now stolen: "I don't try to understand women... women understand women ...... and they all hate each other"

As the saying goes; “Perth has the best weather in the world, except when we don’t.” Annual lashing winter storms these past two days, dark as your boot, wall od water sweeping down the road,
And ******* MORONS not putting on their lights. And its ALWAYS the boring farts in their invisible mud-brown or silver cars. FFS if you are too stupid to use your lights, at least buy red cars.

I effing hate idiots that drive in the right lane, or worse the ones that get right beside another car and stay there. I find myself purposely bulldozing them in the new ute - getting right up their date until they move over.
I hate head office. This is a generalised statement and anybody who has worked in a franchise or chain store will agree with me. I hate my boss some days. Loosely related to the above.

I hate when three low socio-economic thugs decide to harass my wife and son at the train station while waiting for me to come home.
They were lucky I wasn't there otherwise I wouldn't be posting this now from the comfort of my office chair.

I got another one because I'm a grumpy old bloke - All the bloody tom waterhouse ads when I'm trying to watch rugby league. Yes, you can bet on sport, but you don't have to and many football fans don't need to know what the ****ing odds are every add break.

Yeah, gambling ads are annoying. The BetFair one is particularly annoying - it makes it sound like placing a bet with them is a sure thing!

I hate it when idiots see the gap I leave to the car in front as their chance to jump in front of me and occupy that gap. I'd hate to ride a bike or drive a truck these days.
I hate it when I'm minding my own business in the right lane doing about 5 kays more than the speed limit when a moron doing supersonic speeds is up my bumber all of a sudden and expects me to move. If you want to do 200 km/h, overtaking on the left lane won't get you in any extra trouble champ. Almost guranteed to be a 6 cyl old commodore, a little buzzbox or a female P plater too. I hate it when you're second in line at the round about, and the car in front won't go even though there are no cars to give way to, and when you give them a tiny little beep you get the middle finger! Ah **** that makes me angry. Driving is becoming very frustrating because of the increasing number of morons on the roads. |
