Geez! I hate that! - Page 8

You are sitting at the front of a red traffic light. Pedestrian is waiting to cross in front of you. The second your light turns green they step off the gutter right in front of you. Forcing you to wait for another 5 seconds while they wander across. Usually which means more cars behind you are stuck for another 5 minute cycle.

Also you are waiting at a red left arrow. Pedestrian walks up to the button and presses it, then continues walking across the road without stopping.
Then the straight ahead light goes green while your arrow stays red so you can 'wait' for a pedestrian to cross who has already disappeared off into the distance

Cats who rip their bell off their collar at 3am on a work night and play soccer with it down the slate floors.

Every night this week! *grumbles*

Being a bloke who walks to work or the shops. You happen to join the footpath when there's a lady 20-30m ahead and for the next 5min each twist and turn they do happens to be your same direction and you can watch them being all uneasy, pulling their handbag closer and pretending to rub their chin on their shoulder to look back thinking you will jump them any second.

I'm a fast walker... Got some shocked looks when I try to overtake a little too fast.....

That's gold!

I hate it when P players in their little ricers try to race me from the lights just because they can hear my ute's BOV.

I hate busting a nut at work to make somebody else look good....I am very much a 'go hard so I can go home' person, and I think this fact is getting a little too abused. Maybe I am too efficient for my own good :(

Garden blowers.
Users blow the clippings on to the road after mowing the lawn
as cars drive by. Even worse when they blow the clippings whilst cars are
Stationary at stop signs or red lights.

ah! they're all right I suppose but it's rare for me to take time off and this day was a beauty, builders not working so my work was down, finished early, 35 mm rain in 20 hours, cold south wind.

just the shot for a day by the fire, catching some ZZZZZ's........but in the words of a famous man....."ya get that!"

I must get around to installing the wood burner in the shed, at least I could lock the world away for a while.

bloody wrapping, whats the deal with the anti intrusion wrapping on everything nowadays.....

Does every workplace have a person who always reminds people about leftovers?

I love leftovers, and leftovers of leftovers... Yet always get the.... Nooo it's chiiiiicken. You cant eat it once it's been in the fridge... What! It's from 3 days ago? Nooo you'll get sick if you microwave it again....

Yeah, whatever.... I should be dead many times over lol...

Meh.... Just means an extra 30 seconds to kill the bugs...

Totally! I'd also add people who use their weed wackers without a car. Some homeowners and landscapers stop when cars drive by and others don't give a rip. I can almost just hear little rocks being shot out from the weed wackers, flying and hitting whatever's in the way. Even cars. And windshields.

I change lanes if there's another lane and get as far away as I can. If I hear it "ping" against my car, argggh!!

I just use my horn. Startles them like a wild animal Long enough to get by. Amusing at times too

When people selling their cars have already sold them and refuse to take their ad down,(imagines choking some lazy car seller out to a nice sleep)

MAD · 04-06-2013, 11:07 AM

When you write an email with multiple questions and the respondent only answers one, which also happens to be the least significant of them all.

TheSneakiness · 04-06-2013, 11:24 AM

I hate looking on Carsales and finding a 2013 FG MKII XR6 Turbo for $34k driveaway and realising it would cost me a third of my current monthly repayments on the Paj but still have far too much negative equity on the Paj to trade in.

**** I hate that, cause overall I would be saving bloody near on $600 a month once all costs are considered and be five times faster than what I am driving now. :(

**PG2** · 04-06-2013, 11:47 AM

Not really a 'Geez! I hate that!' moment - more of a 'Geez! I love getting one back on them' moment.

Earlier in this thread I mentioned how my teenage son will eat leftovers that I put away for my dinner at work.

The other day, my son was out grocery shopping with his mother (a very rare occasion - my wife must have tricked him into it!) and he bought some chocolate cookies (with my money of course).

Geez they were nice - every one of them!!!!

STINKY NINJA · 04-06-2013, 11:54 AM

Cough laxatives in the leftovers cough!

poppa smurf · 04-06-2013, 12:40 PM

"laxatives in the leftovers".......reminds me of the feller down clare way who was having his firewood stolen so he put a quarter of a plug of gelignite in a hollow piece and back filled it with sawdust and glue.

soon found out who was pinching his wood!!!

Lotte · 05-06-2013, 06:41 AM

When the youngest Cat decides at 5:00 it's time to get up, so fights his sister. Who just happened to be sleeping next to you, and is now kicking **** on top of you.

Sent an email yesterday to a realestate agent.... All of 1/2 a page in length.

3 Paragraphs.

Get a call from the person.. "Hello, yeah, I got your email, it's a bit of an essay! What did you ask for, a sales contract?"

I wanted the contact details for the owners of the vacant block next to me to arrange a shared lock for our shared driveway...

This has been the case for years... I like sending long, detailed emails / letters and all I hear is 'Too much information in 1 hit, people won't read it...' and, in most cases, they don't.

When using superglue to repair your remote control plane, leaving on the workbench for the glue to cure only to come back later to find it's now firmly glued to the bench.

bench!! Hah! you got off lightly, when I use the stuff I'm stuck together for a week, clothing, hair, nostril's, finger's, elbows.

tricky stuff, super glue, sneaks up on you when you least expect it......I am banned from using it by madam as well as all my kids.

blueoval · 05-06-2013, 10:39 AM

i really hate trying to get past trucks in traffic only for them to block you from passing because they too are trying to get to work.

H.G · 05-06-2013, 03:30 PM

I hate getting out to blackwater early to get a few hours sleep in before night shift only to hear old mate next door Erving the tits off his car so all the world can know he owns a v8 .. No I can't sleep..

K_Man · 10-06-2013, 08:20 PM

I hate it when I wash the car and get it looking like new to come out the next morning and discover that the neighbour had his chimenea or whatever going last night and the car is covered in little specks of ash!

AndyXR6T · 10-06-2013, 08:54 PM

I hate the end of long weekends and knowing you have to go back to your ****** job the next day

NickyN · 10-06-2013, 09:30 PM

I know this'll happen again during the week so I may as well post it up now.

I can't STAND when I pick up a call and the person on the other side doesn't respond. I say, "hello, ........hello?............hello??" I can hear rustling of papers or ppl talking in the background, then someone finally says, "oh, glad I caught you I needed to find out ......"

The person who called me did it while on speakerphone, probably trying to multitask and then was caught offguard when I picked up...... it's a pain to receive a call like that when I'm busy too. Sheesh....arghhh.

I could just hang up next time, but don't want to be rude. *sigh*

Lotte · 10-06-2013, 09:36 PM

When I want pudding, but nobody else in the house wants pudding. My pudding in a mug recipe is for two, and uses one egg, I can't split that, plus the motivation to make pudding disintegrates when you're only making it for yourself! And so I am puddingless.

NickyN · 10-06-2013, 09:42 PM

Cant just make it a stick what you don't eat in the frig for next time?

Lotte · 10-06-2013, 09:47 PM

That would be the sensible thing to do.

Raysie · 10-06-2013, 10:09 PM

I hate it when I'll purposely pause something I'm watching on Foxtel IQ so I can then FF the ads and do something of more importance in the meantime...

To then accidentally hit the remote after returning to lose my entire paused session.

Sadly have to admit I've done this more times than I'd like to admit.

Yellow_Festiva · 10-06-2013, 11:09 PM

People who don't know what suburb they live in....

I sell some stuff online. Around half the people I send stuff to are a little confused about where they live. They put their suburb they live in, then the capital city suburb after it...

Eg:
Mr Customer,
123 Xyz Street,
Bankstown,
Sydney,
NSW 2200

or:

Mrs Customer
76 Joe Blow Street
Bulimba
Brisbane, 4147
Queensland,
Australia

Sydney is its own suburb, as is Brisbane! The ONLY time you use the capital city name is if you actually live within the postcode. Such a common mistake.......
