The police prosecution is an absolute joke. They can be found disorganised and lost in a pile of paperwork on the right hand side of the court room.

Especially in the the wet, but Geez I hate it when slowing to a red light people see the space I leave to stop comfortably in a loaded ute where the tyres and brakes aren't in the best situation to stop . It's not a gap. I don't care how much of a rush they're in, leave 5 minutes earlier. If I slide straight up the clacker now 2 people are running late. There aren't lowering blocks in the rear of the ranger. It's running loaded. Things on the roof are either there because they are too long or the canopy is too full. I don't need to be late because someone has woken up late and is in a hurry. It's an increasing occurance

I spent at least two hours replacing parts in my gaming pc which unexpectedly died a couple of months ago. All signs pointed to the motherboard being at fault so I replaced that and changed cpu cooler at the same time. I went through all this and the pc is still broken... which means the cpu (my beloved Xeon) is toast.

I am so over it. I just packed everything up in silence, I can't even be bothered raging.

Geez I hate it when.. I'm not even going to start on other road users, but I started work at 7 pm saturday to turn off (or atleast close the blinds) all the lights in a 29 story office tower in the sydney cbd for earth hour. Only due to the fact I had to access multiple offices I got a security escort so there cannot be any justified complaints. The bloke was dragging his feet and I had an hour and a half to get the place visibly dark from the outside. I wasn't rushing because I wanted to. The temp was getting paid. I myself had the luxury of minimum 4 hours at double time so for almost 3 hours work it's a win for the bank account. I also hate the fact I'll cop a few callouts on monday for light switches turned off. Office folk lack common sense at times.

I hate that 'earth hour' crap, I understand that a conscience effort to conserve energy is a good thing but it takes our planet approximately 8,760 hours to orbit our star, is turning our lights off for just 1 of those really something to hold hands and celebrate?

I totally agree.

If energy conservation was so important and people were really passionate about it, all unnecessary lighting and other energy consuming equipment, some of which are much worse offenders than lighting would be switched off most of the year when not required, not just for one hour per year.

Just to agree, any power not used during earth hour is simply wasted. The power stations still run at the same capacity.

It takes 2 weeks to stop a power station. There is only 1 site in Australia that can remotely shut a plant down. Otherwise it's an on site affair. No it's not in Canberra. Geez I hate the prius drivers who can't see the forrest from the trees. Emissions are one thing, the heavy metals in the batteries are another. I'll leave it at that

We're doing more than our fair share in SA. We turn off the whole state for several hours at a time.

Geez I hate it when people think just because they bought a Benz or bmw all of a sudden the rule of using and indicator now doesn't apply to them. Was on the harbour bridge today, left blinker on, lane 3 clear begin to change lanes, about half way in Mrs e class flat out of nowhere, no indicator, blindspot light on, swerves into the lane I was the best part of in and I was a nose in front. I had to swerve out of her way because I didn't want to make the 6pm news. Similar happened later with an x6 bmw later on. What took the cake though, lined up a reverse park on York st in a loading zone, began to reverse then had to hit the anchors. Clearly I was parking but the b class Benz proceeded to come to a stop at a distance of what you would in normal traffic. I was about to get out and let loose, then I noticed it was an elderly asian lady and the bus behind her had a forward facing security camera. I didn't really want anyone having the option of dobbing me in to the fuzz from over reacting. There was another loading zone closer in the end but that's not the point. Is the luxury car licence available to people in normal cars?

We used to joke about Volvo owners back in the day. That you could buy second hand indicators for them from the wreckers that had never been used.

Sweet, it saves a pit stop on the trip back from the wreckers for globes.

Nobody has ever done a burnout in my driveway before so I guess I just never had the need to perform such an epic thread mine before. It was pretty weird.

Still being stuck at square one a year into a big choice like moving ~150 km from the family. Sucks l got nothing to show for it any more due entirely to pure bad luck plain and simple.

Driving the GTF on the freeway doing full speed limit and one of the back tyres blows! Don't know how or why, but Geez! Needless to say had to pull over & change to the spare. The worst part - Had to do it on my own (wasn't talking to the husband & too stubborn to call him) in the stinking heat & covered head to toe in black - and the worst part? Geez those back tyres are heavy!

When someone puts a loaf of bread in the freezer like they're trying to load a howitzer, then a week later you take two slices out and they're both shaped like butterflies.

I hate it when people park next to your car (new triton) open their door causing damage and claim it wasn't them.

Found a decent dent in the passenger door when leaving work. My car is dark grey and a white Corolla is parked next to it. Dent lines up with the corner of his door with white paint from his car on my car.

No witnesses obviously

Not happy. My car is only 3000kms old.
