I admire you for going through the ****, but FFS is it really worth it? I've just bought houses pretty close to what I like and made additions/alterations and made a home out of them. Cheers mate! David.

What do I hate, spending several hours dissecting my drivers door & trying to figure out why my electric window goes askew when being raised...
...only to realize some 2.5 hours later that all it needed was some lubricant inside the rubber seals, which could have been done in 1 minute by simply pushing the button & dropping the window!!! |

I'm heavily involved with the project because that's just the kind of person I am. It has been hard, and have learn't a whole heap along the way (not that I would be doing this again any time soon) but once done our castle will be something we will be proud of. Was just there this arvo fixing a fence - they have formed up the first floor slab and the steel will be delivered on Monday. Should look sweet when finished

When you buy a new bigger, faster, shinier PC and spend 2 days putting all the programs/games in from the old, one only to have it chuck a wobbley 2 weeks later and needing reformatting so loosing all that was put in!!
(this message was typed on the old smaller, slower and duller one!!)

Not to mention the horrible amount of misscommunication that happens between client and builder, builder and tradies and tradies and tradies...I will never paint my own house or have anything to do with it, I can't bare to know where every problem is and live in it.

Handing over my credit card to buy something yesterday. Tell the guy that pay wave will be fine (I was in a rush). Guy ignores me and inserts card, then picks up card reader to hand over to me for the pin, in the process dropping the machine on the floor and snapping my car in 2.
Picks it up and then starts taping it together - and tries several times to get the 2 bits to line up (and fails). Finally says sorry just prior to handing back my card then tries to tell me that my card 'must have been already bent or cracked to start with'... Not fussed that the card is broken, accidents happen. But don't tell me BS when you stuff up....

Apologies to the good drivers who work around that area but geeze you get some close calls around Veitch and Victoria roads, especially around knock-off time! And it doesn't end there - they continue it the whole length of Victoria Road onto the expressway!!!

I hate having to paint some houses especially double story eaves that are near impossible to get to without having to do gymnastics for 6 years and learn parkour just to get a piece 1metre long.......1 hour later and its done...

I hate those gardening quotes where some rich twat (who has clearly never broken a sweat in their entire life) has a 6 metre high tree... just wants 6 inches taken off the top, it's right on a fence line, on a retaining wall, on a steep slope & right next to a power line....C'MON...REALLY!

Drive-thru bottle shops....A car is parked in the 'self serve' right lane, then some complete reject blocks the left lane and looks at the wine selection for the next ten minutes.
I`d like to return the favour to those ****** by parking in the Macca`s drive-thru, then walking around to the front and ordering from inside. |

Bloody telco's. A couple of weeks ago I bought a couple of Galaxy S4s' on a $40 a month deal from Virgin, just to get away from FFFFFFF#@!%^&........... Telstra. Yesterday I couldn't get any service at home and still no service today so I got on the phone to Virgin to find out what was going on. To cut a long story short, after nearly 2 hours of phone time talking to the Virgin monkeys in the Philippines who eventually said they'd call as soon as they could figure out what was going on, I went for a drive and sat a stones throw from the local tower and lo an behold, no service. So back on the phone for another 45 minutes to eventually be told it was Optus doing tower upgrades and there'd be no service till the 25th.
Thanks Virgin, for reenforcing my opinion of overseas call centres and a BIG thanks to Optus for pulling the plug on our mobile service for over a week without so much as an SMS to all affected providers to so they could let customers know. F@$#^&G TELCO's

Freak storms that take me 6 and a half hours to go 45km... as much as I love storms.
Suppose thats the price I pay to use public transport.

If your with Telstra and have to dial 132200 or whatever..... when dopey computer says....'in a few words.....................'
You say "disconnection" within seconds you are yakking with real people usually young ladies in Adelaide or Hobart. They will gladly help you in any way possible ( as long as its Telstra related. Spoke to young lady from Eyre Pen west coast. But running a business I now deal with Telstra small business in Slacks Creek Brisbane, In 1st month they saved me $230 on monthly account.

Oh. And having a chronic (invisible) illness that your direct manager seems to just want to pretend is the equivalent of having a cold; and can't seem to grasp that your return to full time work plan should actually be adhered to.
