I'm a huuuge coffee drinker. I loved/addicted/intravenous drip fed myself Aldi instant in the giant can. Then they changed that a while back to the granulated stuff. Ok... It's slightly worse but I can stomach it. Now they changed it again to "new improved flavour" same jar, but it tastes like ground up ants in hot water. I hate that. Why can't they leave a good thing alone :( now I'm back to trying to taste test all the other brands and no love so far.

"Why can't they leave a good thing alone" how true that statement is.
eBay!!! I am seriously hating on the new fuggin eBay. The searches absolutely suck!!! I used to be able to search for Fords from 1970-1980 and get a list of everything I was interested in. Now they have taken the make out of the refinements so now you get all the shyte. Nice going eBay!!!

Geez I hated setting up a myGov account last night. Look it is a fantastic idea with being able to link all your government bits and pieces to the one place but setting it up is an absolute head wreck unless you have all your bits and pieces ready to go.

[QUOTE=Rapid_Axe;5481135]Moccona? Or is $$$ a factor?
yep, its the $$$. I drink to much of it to justify $22 odd per jar. :/ |

yep. I'll add another "geez I hate..." When you find out what you wanted was on special the day after you bought it.
Although to be fair, some retail outlets will credit you the difference if you are a loyalty member |

On the topic of coffee, we ran out at work, so I took a tub in from home. Some of the boys were working over that weekend and drank it all on me.
And now they think I'll bring my 1.75kg tub of drinking chocolate down to the kitchen

Oh, and my actual geez I hate that, which I have been fuming about is backyard breeders.
The guinea pig rescue I volunteer with often takes the "last stock" of a BYB if we can get them, to stop them breeding, and they're often pregnant sows who have been through back to back breeding campaigns. I was fostering two girls recently who were lucky enough to NOT be pregnant, but we severely malnourished, to the point where one had her bottom teeth fall out. Luckily for pigs their teeth continuously grow and it wasn't long before she was able to eat properly again (about a week and a half), the other girl had a hole in her mouth when we got her that stopped her eating properly. Both had mange mites and were starving. And this was a relatively ok case that came to us, the animals are usually in MUCH worse condition. Long story short - adopt, don't shop. And don't buy baby animals of bloody gumtree!!

I'm overseas at the moment and have received a picture message from a friend that I need to download... won't let m view it with the Wifi, I MUST use my data apparently....
Stoopid.. Climb to the top of a small mountain within Seoul as it is touted as having 'spectacular views of the city' only to get to the top and realise that I'm under the observation of several police / military personnel from various watch towers.. with signs stating I'm not allowed to take pictures of the surrounding areas.... There are even hidden cameras in the trees..

Preparing a spare Cleveland engine block for rebuild. Was supposed to be standard bore, but test fitting new Pistons prior to getting crack tested and acid dipped reveals the bore size is already over new piston size.. Grr.

The exact same thing happened to me with a Holden 186 recently. I didn't have time to take the heads off and just trusted seller at his word... I feel your pain.

Due to a house move I've advertised quite things on Gumtree lately with quite a bit of success. BUT ... on three different occasions now I've had a dipstick message me asking if a particular item is still for sale - I reply "yes" - and I never hear from them again! WTF!
Gotta hate that!! |

Some idiot ask me who I was barracking for today...apparently AFL has its final on today. Would someone quietly inform me when all the hype and crap is over.
I enjoy life without that sort of information

I hate being looked down upon because I don't follow the AFL. I hate how everything seems to revolve around it. I don't in any possible way care what dress some girlfriend/wife/partner/escort of a player is wearing to an awards dinner that celebrates a player that isn't a druggie/narcissist/jerk. Ahh well, Bathurst next weekend..........

Airplane food packaging that multiplies after use. You get the tray all neatly packed and positioned. Open and eat everything and for the life of me I can't stop all the packaging from falling all over the place as if it no longer fits on the same tray it came on.

Hate reading things like first up in the morning, 5.11111 mil per year seems pretty low considering the strategic importance to our defense or is now known as there defense. What is it with 99 year contracts.... complete *****hit. Where are the good bankers when you need them

I need to rant about a first world problem that is increasingly threatening to send me into a paroxysm of raging seizures!!! Yes, I am talking about the structural integrity of the plastic wrap that Kraft cheese singles employ. Once upon a time it was a pleasure to unwrap a delicious slice of Kraft cheese. Now it is a cataclysmic nightmare in which the plastic wrap disintegrates into various sizes of shredded flotsam and jetsam.
Something needs to ne done to remedy this nightmare... |

I hate it when people insist on holding up traffic just so they can have my parking spot.
Fair enough you saw me get in, but who says I'm pulling out? You know you're only gonna get cranky when I don't move! I could be on the phone! I could be waiting for someone else! I could have just spilled my beer! Or perhaps I'm looking at porn on my android phone! Is there a lack of parking spots all of a sudden? Are they going extinct? Is mine the very last parking spot in existence??? |

What do I hate, being repeatedly asked for a flybuys card at almost every shop in which I care to enter.
Why do I hate...well, here's one example. A retailer recently sent my mother a Russel Hobbs kettle as a reward for redeeming her points. It lasted a few monhts & started to leak. She contacted flybuys who said that mum would have to pay for postage to return the kettle, then it would be assessed before a new one was delivered. Naturally my mum can't be bothered spending $30 to $40 to send the kettle back, not expecting to get the postage amount back either, & therefore a win win for the retailer. Nice job flyblown...I mean "flybuys" !!! Personally I couldn't give a flying... "enter full expletive phrase here"...about flybuys Now everyone is offering a rewards card, & I couldn't care less! |

I would be following that up further. I remember reading that warranty that involved sending stuff in by post is being scrutinised. Is it being sent to the same city mum lives in?

Not only is that ridiculous (leaking kettle) but they're trying to rip you off with the price of postage.
