Get inside the shops and the things people do makes you wonder how they even managed to tie their shoelaces that morning. It is why I usually do grocery shopping in the evening

Have to agree with the shopping trolley thing. Always left wherever they can be - most often in the car spaces.

Just pure, selfish inconsiderate laziness not to return a trolley to the bay when you're finished using it.

Parramatta Westfield. The only Anglo woman for miles rushes up the escalator past everyone. Zing-Zags between me and my son, whacks into the umbrella I am carrying and keeps going. When we get to the entry to the car park I see her paying for her parking at the machine. Then she proceeds through the exit doors into the car park and stops right in front of me, blocking my way. So I live her a serve "First of all you barge past us on the escalator, and now you are blocking our way!" Her reply, in a nutty pommie accent "Excuse me, how dare you speak to me like that" etc.... She then proceeds to enter an oversized 4WD parked in one of the disabled spaces, this is after she has sprinted at least 200m up the escalator, that I saw. Some people.

Trolleys bring out the laziness in so many people. I don't get why people can't just walk the 10-12 metres to put it back in the bay. Some do, but only get 99% of the way, leaving the trolley sideways across the opening of the trolley bay.

I had one clown in Costco finish loading his car, and push his trolley just 6 feet away - right behind my car, as I was about to reverse out. Luckily the sensors beeped, and that's the only way I knew something was there, as the whole thing sits lower than the boot level of the FG.

The pig didn't like it when I put it back behind his car.....and that same trolley went back & forth 2 more times until a bogan looking guy who witnessed it all told him to f-off back into his car and stood behind it, holding the trolley, so I could reverse out.

Until all places follow Aldi and make you put a coin in the trolley, the selfish idiots will still leave them everywhere.

FRIGGIN" TELSTRA!!!!

Phones up to complain about our pi$$ poor internet service which has been limping along at less than dial up speeds for the last few months and started dropping out completely this morning.

The first attempt I was put on hold then cut off, second attempt, same again.

Third attempt went the call back route, which I got, but the got hung up on as soon as I forced the phone monkey to go off script and actually think about what to do next.

Forth attempt and 2 minutes in, the phone monkey suddenly says I wasn't authorized to act on behalf of the account holder, (my wife), which is a flat out lie, then she refuse to proceed, so I had to hang up on her.

Fifth attempt I finally got someone to listen but it still took another 30 minutes and being hand balled to 2 further phone monkeys before I got anywhere. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

Another hour of my life I'll never get back.

Carsales. Specifically the script assistance for placing ads. Now all the ads read exactly the same and tell you nothing!! Now all the ads read like they were placed by Nigerian scammers.

Last time I placed an ad I made a point of all of the narrative being in my own words. The ad assist feature is persistent and hard to disable.

You're kidding right......... With a whole 32 subscribers on our exchange, they've stuck to the same excuse of "line congestion" for the last 3 years. But I did get a date of August when they're supposedly going to cure the problem, but nobody can tell me exactly what they are going to do. I did get an agreement that they'd reduce my bill every month to the percentage of my download limit I'm able to use. I'm on a 1TB limit but I'd be lucky to use 10% a month, if that, because of the connection issues. So theoretically I should only be charged 10% of the bill if I only use 10% of my limit....We'll see I guess... but I did get the phone monkey to put the agreement in writing and email it to 2 different accounts.

Blokes who take a leak in the toilet bowls in a stall, and then don't flush it. Or the one who after taking a leak walks out without washing his hands... and I then have to touch the door handle. Ewww...

Road Games · 15-01-2016, 02:01 AM

After weeks of internet searching i finally discovered how to get my BA to start with the T400 i really should have realised the simple mistake much earlier

Pulled the box back out to fine tune the stall and presto someone from adelaide has now purchased it ... the entire conversion!

Only problem is i am delivering it personally on monday to save internet money transfers and parts going awol in the post.

Might pay a few people a visit while i am in town as well...

commodorenutt · 15-01-2016, 09:04 PM

People who sit in the right lane in the 110 zone doing 100, then slam on the brakes to creep past the cop at 80km/h.

No need for it.

I'd be tempted to deposit the trolley through his windscreen

The coin thing doesn't work, idiots break the locks, break the bit on the chain in the trolley bay so you can't get your coin back. I looked for the ones with broken locks to make it easier and usually found one - even though I put it in the trolley bay afterwards. The shopping centre abandoned the locks eventually.

They're, their and there.

Not a big thing but does irritate me from time to time. I can overlook it for the majority of the time and I know not everyone has the greatest grasp on spelling. Most of the time I couldn't be bothered with the arguments it can cause because people become defensive but seriously - my nephews and nieces under 10 can spell better than most people, it seems.

They're taking their car out tonight, and we will meet them there.

Two words that totally **** me off...

Gangbusters

Gobsmacked

Yellow_Festiva · 03-02-2016, 07:36 PM

When something is 'totally destroyed' it is decimated.

The origin of the meaning is to reduce something by 10% (meaning 90% of whatever is 'decimated' should remain).

So they just changed the meaning to mean totally destroyed OR to reduce by 10%....

Oh, and care to explain how 'Flammable' and 'Inflammable' mean one and the same lol

marty351 · 03-02-2016, 10:58 PM

........ ..

Whilst trying to send a picture in response, it has come to my attention that this new phony I'm using is incapable of a most simple task.

Geez I hate this phone already!

And orientated has taken over from oriented, yet they technically mean the same thing....

Acclimatise has become acclimate.

Acclimate means applause.
Lets all acclimate for the 'Muricans.

Acclaim.

When you are really clumsy and literally feel retarded. I fell over last night with my camera and snapped my $2500 lens when i fell. I am still so annoyed at myself

I frequently trip like that. Hopefully while no one is watching. Best one is when you go to eat and literally miss your mouth with the fork. Unfortunately this is usually around a dinner table with other people observing. Thank god I don't drive like I generally function upright.

If you haven't already, don't forget to explore whether or not it's covered in your insurance - it's easy to forget with some items.

Basically the same thing happened to me a few months ago so I know your frustration. I should have copied the numbers down with pen and paper first... lesson learned.

Or copy them over to your sim card in the phone first.
