Geez! I hate that!

[staity]

Idiots that race up the inside of you just before their lane ends and try to force a gap in order to merge. For ******* sake you know the lane is about to end just join the back of the queue it will only cost you a couple of car lengths in the whole scheme of things, and I wont have to worry about you wiping my front out or getting hit from behind because I've had to stand on the picks to miss you and your POS car. BMW drivers I'm looking at you...

And I thought it was just me that copped this! I get it coming up a merge lane ramp out of the car park. Now I just play stupid, don't even look at them and keep going. Should see them back off!

The thing that really gets on my goat is that sometimes it just isn't safe to dive on the brakes to let them in and you have to hold your ground and then they beep and flip YOU the finger!!!

never happened when it was the $1500 hyundai parked there..

and the car today was half blocked by 2 wheelie bins - could have hit a bin..

and i wasn't going to bother mowing that bit of grass because it is just a small patch of weeds that is always in shade, right on the edge of the driveway/garage..

If they're linen they'll take awhile to become absorbent.
If you can't wait, get bamboo ones. They're ******* amazing.
Anything else is just crap.

People who post stuff for sale online then don't bother removing the add when sold.

Had 5 things I wanted to buy, 3 were 'gone ages ago' 1 didn't answer, 1 went through and I bought the item.

[MercurySilver]

the merge thing
if its a dotted line on teh merge lane the merging car gives wayif there is no dotted line and the two lanes just form into one with no lines then the person in the main lane gives way and lets the person on the left merge

now if everyone could just get this thru their thick heads


roadworks
you can see up ahead the left lane is close and only one lane will be open
but peanuts still have to zoom past everyone who have already gone into one lane to try and push in down the front and then get abusive when you dont let them in

yeah im talking to you in the bucket of **** commodore with P plates on it and 3 ******** mates in teh car with ya

Had heaps of people watching my Cummins 6BT ad on Ebay, relisted it 4 times, then I sold it outside of Ebay so I closed the sale and I start getting emails saying what happened to the engine and that they're interested in buying.

Too late now boys, had your chances plenty of times.

Best of all, no paypal or ebay fees

Apparently you can't get them from the place I used to get them from.
BUT, found this ones with teh goggles search:
http://bamboovillage.com.au/products...ea-towels.html

They're a bamboo cotton blend, which would be ideal thinking about it, because I found mine (100% bamboo) wore away pretty quickly if you're a numpty like me and shoved a knife through it while drying

With a zip merge it is the car in front that has right of way, but what annoys me is where do you consider one car to be deemed in front because some just keep driving forward relative to the next lane despite an imminent merge. When they pass the sign telling them to merge it is time to look at safely merging by matching speed to other cars, not passing another 3 or 4 cars.

Also people looking to change lanes (from one marked lane to another), I was halfway alongside a car when he put the indicator on and started moving over. I laid on the horn, he still tried to drive me into the kerb. When moving from one marked lane to another you indicate and give way. The idiot was trying to change lanes 100 metres before a left turn after the lights in heavy traffic. His lack of planning isn't my fault, nor does his desire to change lanes exempt him from road rules. For people that do this - there's always another option, might be slower/longer, but is better than forcing other drivers into evasive action or crashing into them.

Unfortunately more and more drivers forget that indicators are to signal your intentions.

Not to tell others what you are actually doing, we can see (and sometimes feel) that.

Not being told that my loan redraw will locked off due to a refinance on Monday and having $1.76 to my name in the bank for the weekend...

[Bushbasher]

Banks that don't process eftpos transactions for days on end that don't even show as "pending" on your account. So you check your balance, think you have $X to work with and promptly allocate and spend what you think you have only to wake up one day and find your account overdrawn because of a transaction you did a week ago. Now you're overdrawn and the bank then charges you an overdraw fee. But I guess that's my fault for not scrupulously scouring my account every single time I want to spend money, for unprocessed transactions, instead of relying on the supposedly latest, greatest netbank software that any other time shows transactions immediately and any credit card transactions pending. They seem to do it at random times with paypal transactions as well but when you complain it's always my fault for not having enough funds available and never their fault for not processing a transaction promptly in the first place. !#%*ing banks.!!

debit cards......they have made me a "cashless" person.........I don't carry any cash unless I'm on honkidays.

so my shoe needs repair, cost $8 (stitching coming off the side)......no cash and the amount is too small for my card.......the repair hasn't been done so I went and bought a new pair of boots, $180. (kept the old pair in case I stumble over a bob or two in the future)

watch battery needs replacing.......yep! $8 ......no cash and won't accept the card for such a piddling amount.........yep! new watch......$250. (keeping the old one, as above, I got about 5 now including the "pulse" watch)

damn "cashless society is costing me money hand over fist.

I guess it really shows the laziness of me when I won't go to the hole in the wall to get a quid.

Why do cat's love my yard so much for their roody doo's and going's on.........gets cold chasing these damn things at 2 o'clock in the morning in just my jock's........try getting that picture out of your head Lotte!!! Heh! Heh! heh!

[Bushbasher]

hey poppa, all you need to do is ask for a 20 when you pay for your fuel and they'll happily give it to you so you got something in ya wallet when the need arises, that's all I do mostly.

As for the cats, get a dog. a little one will do, Jack Russell or Foxy would do nicely. I've got a bit of a mongrel but mum was a foxy x Aussie terrior and we reckon dad was a black n' tan kelpie because he's the size and shape of a foxy with the perfect black n' tan markings of a kelpie. People still mistake him for a kelpie pup and he's 4 yrs old, but I don't have a cat problem,

[poppa smurf]

money seems to evaporate without trace from my wallet, it simply will not stay in there.

same as gold coins in my change jar, I keep it there to give out change to my customers, but the wife comes along or the grandkids and it vanishes without trace, must be that particular type of glass, it just won't hold gold, never mind they must need it more than I do.

nobody touches it but it simply vanishes.

on the cat front we have 3 dogs, "Gidget" cost $1200 (purebred teacup Yorkshire terrier) madam would never go outside,

Fuggles (softened from Fugly) is a "rescue" dog, a little overweight mongrel that S.I.L. bought but B.I.L. didn't want so he abused her (as you do when something is disliked) then she chose me, wouldn't leave my side (still won't) and I brought her home.

then "wimpy" a little bloke who we bought simply "because".......he's blind now and suffers seizures.

a lot of barking is present but not much chasing nowadays.....the two outside dogs are in excess of 12 now, so a lot of puffing and wheezing as well as laughter from the local cats until i get out and chase em, after all the dogs pride is at stake, quite often I will bark so the neighbours think my dogs are still capable.

[Franco Cozzo]

I got the other problem, got cats but the neighbours jack russel comes along and eats their food, but at least they all get along, the cats and jack russel get along fine, he will be eating their food while they sit there next to him.

[Uncle Niceguy]

qualtrics is currently driving me up the great wall of china!!!!

Since l'm the nice caring son that l am my mother dearest, roped me into doing her qualtrics surveys up for her since she doesn't have the time to do it herself, the results are me chucking tantrums at the bloody useless software while mum quietly laughs her head off seeing my face turn to a purple akin to beetroot. So l'll ask this in hear since neither mum or l can find an answer, DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO INSERT A DIAGRAM INTO A QUESTION???
thanks in advance.

1 sentence (if you can call a bunch of random words with no punctuation that) eBay adds that are missing lots of important info a buyer may want to know.

Oh, and 'located in Sydney'... Really? Narrows it down doesn't it.

I found Gumtree seems to have the worst offenders.

Like people trying to sell cars with one photo and "Runs good, low kms"

[poppa smurf]

wondering why our interweb had ceased doing what it does.......phone call to telstra stated a 15 minute waiting time "due to extreme weather"......."no thanks, better things to do".

went without for the day, no biggie, wife comes home, "whats going on here, why isn't this working"........oh! oh!, act dumb, not hard to do......"um, don't know dear, it was working earlier".

"whats this wire thats in pieces"........

"Gidget", the wonder dog, (Yorkshire terrier by another name) has been on the rampage, doing what puppies do.......chewed up the telling bone wire coming into the router thereby giving all the magic signals nowhere to infiltrate.

never mind, Gidget helped me with lots of licks and kisses, to let me know she doesn't hold a grudge, while we sorted out, soldered, repaired the tiny little wires.........

Or those that drive around with only their parkers on all day (thinking that they're a 'safe' driver).

Parking lights are for PARKING, fercrissake!
