People who assume that selling online must mean Ebay. Oh, my Ebay account doesn't have 2 suburbs, 1 is what I entered and it works no worries. And if we were talking about Ebay, how do the other 50% manage to get their address right?

Restaurants which charge double for half the amount of food on the plate you think your getting.

Had more bad luck with share houses recently, I've have just left my 5th place because when the house was having a bbq last night had some friends around and all about 15 people all up in the process of said bbq some of their "friends" were gladly helping themselves to items in my room, these were sentimental things and well hidden but are now gone, so bloody frustrating. On a good note this week i got new springs for my car ( thanks xhbrad).

I have my own site, and don't ask for 2 suburbs. People put it thinking it is the correct thing to do. Why, I have no idea. This thread is about hates, it is something I certainly don't like and it is a very common 'misunderstanding' from my observations. Yes, there may be a reason behind it but I don't really care...

I lived in a share house for just over 1 yr in the Eastern Suburbs with 18 (not a mistake) 18 house mates and really didn't have much problems, well none actually. Was quite the experience actually. I then bought a big house and ran my own for 3 years prior to getting hitched. When you are in charge you soon see how some people really don't give a toss about anything or anyone other than themselves. I started with a 1pg contract for my house mates, and by the end it grew to 2 pgs with 1cm margins and size 11 font. Find a place that has rules about quantity of visitors, parking, how 'whole house' events are planned / run etc. Don't have rules in place, people do what they want. Did your room have a lock?? Never stay in a place that does not allow you to lock your own door.

people who cannot negotiate getting around a public transport bus and insist on sitting behind the dam thing until it moves, then the cycle continues all over again. In the mean time, no one in the RH lane wants to let you in because it means they lose a position in peak hour traffic. God help them if they lose a position.....

People who can't park their big new fancy 4WD between the white lines in works car park.
You know the ones....the ones that have never ever seen a spec of dirt in its life. So I have to drive 50 meters away to the next free spot because this 4WD driving ******** hasn't left enough space to park next to him. /rant

Some people need to realize just because you drive a 4wd doesn't excuse you from parking within the lines like everyone else. If you have that much of an issue parking a big @55 bus like that, perhaps park on the road or in an area where you are least likely to offend.

i hate that when I stop at macca's cafe to get my coffee @ 6:20AM, there is a tool in a mr maggoo ute that seems to thinks being in a"special" car entitles him to park across 5 car spaces.

When someone overtakes you on a multi-lane road, pulls into your braking distance from the car in front and just simply turns off into a side road.

I don't know what it is about trolleys that makes people so averse to putting them away. I always put mine away and if the car park is empty enough I will hop on and ride it to the trolley bay. Good fun. |

Some people just park so badly and then don't care when they get out and see it is painfully obvious they failed at parking. That's a conspiracy by women to ensure the toilet seat stays down

People who pull a pen out of the drawer tray / cup holder thinggo, try to use it and fail, try to scribble with it on scrap paper and fail, then put it back in the drawer or cup again so the process can be repeated....

The know-it-alls.
People with the "mine's bigger than yours" complex or ppl who just have this need to one-up everything someone says. Things like: 1. what something cost (of course theirs cost way more) 2. the time when..... (of course their time when...... has to be much more interesting to beat it) 3. someone getting a warning for speeding (of course they drove way faster than that when they were stopped) 4. the crazy lady who stopped by a friend's workplace asking for her check when she doesn't even work there (and of course, their crazy lady story goes that there's a crazy lady who takes showers in her front lawn and it just happened to be the other day) 5. a concert we all want to go to (and yes, they had backstage access AND front row seats to another concert) .................and there's more. Come on, it's not a competition! |
