I hate litterers.
I hate parents that treat their children like dirt. And waste their money.
I hate tailgaters.
I hate people with no punctuation, no comprehension.
People that can't spell.
Idiots in general.

I hate it when you have what you think at the time is a lovely pad Thai for lunch, then when you are on the drive home, the best part of an hour from the driveway, your stomach gurgles. Unsure of whether it's coming up or going down. That was my afternoon. Turns out I gave the bowl a spray tan, then threw my guts up.

I really don't get it, why would someone want to tell the world what they had for breakfast? I have a nephew who thinks the world wants to know what he does 24/7.

Recently I was out to lunch and there would have been 10 people at the table, out of those 10, 7 would have been doing their Facebook updates on their phones telling everyone what they had ordered for lunch.

Don't people converse anymore?
People have learnt not to talk on their phones in restaurants, now they Facebook.

You do realize that this forum IS social media, right? I'm only on here because I'm banned from Facebook. And I like Fords, a lot. Maybe it was a really good breakfast.

I take it the restaurant didn't have a Facebook page, or if it did would be gone by now.
Not a fan of FB, but your quote would have been a nice addition to it...

Judging by some of the posts in a number of threads you'd think it was antisocial media

Never looked at it from that angle, but either way, I've never had a face book account

People....

I have an online company, get an email about delivery:

"Hi, just wanting to know how long it will take to receive an order?"

Hmmmmm

Sometimes I really wonder...... Is this a guessing game? This chap may live next door or Perth...

ford71V8 · 05-12-2016, 02:00 PM

People that call me over and over again. I'm not answering, I spoke to you yesterday about nothing for an hour. Texts next, Call me when you're not busy. I'm busy. An hour later the phone rings again.
Due to one persistent person, I end up turning my phone off. Then starts the calls to my wifes phone to get hold of me.
So damn annoying.
I just want to be left alone. I have things to do. I have kids I want to spend time with. And when I get some time to myself, that's how I want to spend it.
If you have nothing to fill your day, don't inflict your pain on me, because I end up with the same zero result.

....aaaand breathe.

Well doesn't that really depend on when he places it? Well buddy, as long as internet is working, you place an order and I should receive it within 2 minutes.

I hate clowns who do the wrong thing on the road, have a mishap, then all of a sudden it's all your fault. They simply can't take responsibility for their own illegal, and stupid behaviour.

Stopped behind several cars, in fairly thick traffic. There was a VE wagon that was previously in an adjacent lane, where I'd already seen the driver texting on his phone. Now he's in my lane, boring down behind me looking in his lap. No chance of stopping.

I was preparing for impact, when he realised, braked, and ran up the gutter & onto the garden median (Norwest Blvd for those who know it). He tries to reverse, but traction won't let him. So he gets the hint & rolls forward over a few more small plants to get back onto the road, and when he's level beside me, puts his window down & starts yelling "what the f*^( did you run me off the road for?"

Yep, it's all my fault because I stopped behind other stopped traffic.

Bloody morons on phones...never their fault....

My daily drive is a 94 Magna wagon. Its been kept for the simple fact that it is a very useful wagon, not like a short wheelbase VE, which has less room in the back than a Mondeo. Nicer to drive than any Falcon or Commodore of the same vintage. For $120 I got Myself a Kenwood head unit, with Bluetooth. I can make and receive calls and text whenever I like. Guy comes into work last week all smart in his brand new Land Rover that looks like it cost about $80k. Less of a wagon than the Magna and he drives away talking with a mobile to his ear. Now I would put money on that car having Bluetooth connectivity. What is it are they too lazy or too dumb to work it? Or do they just have the attitude that rules are made to be broken? I want to keep my money to spend it on what I want to buy, not to pay fines I don't need to.

**DFB FGXR6** · 07-12-2016, 08:24 PM

Foxtel.

Why dose every channel have to be on a commercial break at the same time.

Mrrrrrrr......

my work takes me around the nth shore 7-4pm m-f. Should see the attitudes from the other half on the roads. Rich sense of entitlement. No indicators, no courtesy, speeding, ignore school zones, mobile phones, double parking to have a chat, illegal parking. I see more bad displays of driving there than anywhere else I can think of.Maybe it is really stressful having loads of $$.

The stress is in having loads of debt, trying to keep up with the neighbours, private school fees etc. And if you say anything to them its instant aggression.

Because if they didn't, nobody would sit through the adverts and the advertisers know that, and if you don't watch the ads then Foxtel goes under as all the advertisers wouldn't bother wasting their money on ads nobody will watch. But hey, you aren't lone as the FTA channels do the same thing 99% of the time as well for the same reason.

Franco Cozzo · 08-12-2016, 03:06 PM

Thats the reason why I have Netflix, $15/month and no ads, or download TV series, all the ads been removed.

Every suburb apparently has a different Motor Law regarding how far you park from a corner. I live on a corner block and people park in the street to walk up the road to the city bus. If I could load photo's I would show people that park so close that a drivers vision is impaired when approaching from either direction to execute a turn. I rung the police who could not tell me what the law is. They said traffic cops know....

.:4:. · 08-12-2016, 04:30 PM

There are 2 things that I really hate, and they both happened yesterday. First one is sick days. had my first in 2 years yesterday, and just like the one before I ended up in hospital. Still squirting off the back of Fridays Thai lunch, I was at the point where nothing would stay in for more then about 10 minutes and since Friday I had lost 7 kilos that I can't really afford to lose. So at the point of shaking uncontrollably, after 5 days of not being able to retain anything, my wife called my mum to take me to the hospital. Which lead to my other hate. For the past year I refused to even look at the b200 Benz she ignorantly bought (I have voiced that in this thread before) I had no other choice then a ride in an ambulance, so I kneed myself in the chin and squeezed into the front. Once I got sorted by the urgent care people for heavy dehydration I was on my way, but food and water are still not entirely my friend. I have no problem with hospitals, but going in the b200 goes against everything I stand for.

I guess the streets aren't always marked with a solid white line which is illegal to park beside.Unfortunately commonsense doesn't always work so people park where they don't have to walk more than a few metres.One would think that the cops should know as they aren't backward in order interpreting the law to suit themselves if they want to book you.If it is the same rule as school crossings it would be 30 metres before the intersection

Yellow_Festiva · 08-12-2016, 08:57 PM

Don't know if this one had been said?

When you put a receipt / parking ticket in your mouth to hold it temporarily and it rips a patch of skin away from your lips upon removal.

Lunch · 08-12-2016, 10:35 PM

When you stop in at the shops to get a souvlaki for dinner cos the wife won't be home till later, after you order you go straight back to the car to find that some moron has decided to squeeze between your car and the concrete column 1 foot in front of the bumper, lost their balance and fallen onto your bonnet leaving a clear hand print ( see dark spots in centre of bonnet ( white spots are cloud reflections ) ) and somehow a 100mm scuff for you to deal with

But what really annoys me more is when you see the bigger picture

Note: guy in picture was not the idiot

Junkyard-Dog · 09-12-2016, 09:32 AM

Yeah, you can really see why squeezing past your car was necessary and not an utterly ridiculous decision to make.

I find it ironic that the sign on the glass infront for diflam says pain in big letters

Hardtopxb · 09-12-2016, 12:27 PM

Americanisms degrading our Australian unique culture and language. Yes I know its inevitable. Still don't like it...

**X-AHH** · 09-12-2016, 06:59 PM

The name BUTTERFISH on menus in cafes and takeaway shops.
Just tell me what the damned fish is.
If its hake or flake, just say so.
If it’s three eyed basa from some Taiwanese backwater estuary, just say so.
Stop hiding crap slimy grey substandard fish behind a generic name.

Agree 100%. My brother is like that.

Ring Thursday to confirm stock availability & booked job in. Friday, I arrived early, paid for the product, went around to despatch thinking 'sweet, will be on my way in 10mins' to be met with 'Nah mate, too busy now' I had to go back the office, explain everything to the moron there so he could tell the moron out the back to do what I had paid & booked for. Nearly every purchase or service recently has involved either an issue about the agreed price or I have had to 'oversee' the service due to incompetence. My wife & I are looking for builders atm to do an extension. If we get dodgy builders I will shoot them.

That's nothing'. I've been to places where they park nose to nose on the corner in the space where you would normally cross is you were a pedestrian. I think Smart cars were invented for these people.
