Drivers that drive along 80-90km/h in 100 zone in areas you're unable to pass.. hit the overtaking lane, all the sudden these little matchbox cars are able to do 110-120+km/h.. then drop back to 80-90km/h...

This is 2wks ago, but my day was ruined by a kebab, yep a kebab. Drove 400km o offload the kiddies to Grandma, and the one thing I always get is a kebab, best place in town (I have eaten many a kebab lol), so I get to the shop at lunchtime, during school holidays, whilst waiting for somebody else to park, an old couple hop in their car next to me to leave, but alaas, I can't reverse back as I am blocked in by a line of cars, so the car behind me get's said spot. I drive around like a moron and finally find a spot, and it is the spot I like as the pillar is on my side, so I enjoy using it to keep my car as far away as the middle bay, and it can't get hit by the person next to me as they too have to avoid the pillar.
So I begin to pull into the bay, yep I have enough space and crrrrrrrrrrack, I swiped the pillar with the corner of the front end. So I get out and say no biggie, deal with it later, cmon kids let's get lunch. Go and get my kebab, drive to mums, sit down and take a bite.........not sure what happened, but it was the worst kebab I had ever had, I even got 3 bits of chicken bone for good measure. So to get the kebab I was so desperatley wanting, I had to drive 400km, put up with the usual car park antics, scrape my car on a pillar and then the kebab was horrid anyway. Might sound petty, but honestly, I went from a 2 day trip, to dropping the kids with mum, staying the night and leaving at 6am the next morning. Canceled all plans to catch up with friends etc. All because of a Kebab hahahahahahahahahaha |

FOOTBALL.
Sick of getting assaulted with the garbage. Sports report on news should be renamed to 95% football report. Getting stuck in football traffic makes me want to shoot people. People could buy a dog and watch that chase a ball around the backyard all day and it would be less intrusive on everyone's lives.

People who can't be happy unless they have somthing to winge about
This isn't ago at any one here or any of these posts, but I have a guy at work who is always looking for the negative so he has somthing to ***** about My gripe is a little like Poppa's I LOVE a crusty bread roll crustier the better, like a wood fired jobie with real butter (not marg) and Vegemite, I love it, then my son gets told to go on a glutin free diet to stop all his digestive discomfort, so now my wife has read eleventy squillion books on celiacs and gluten intolerance and how a lot of people don't even know their intolerant so now were all on this freaken gluten free diet so that's the end of my Vegemite roll, that's the end of a freaken good pizza, that's the end of shinitzel that's the end of every thing I hold near and dear to my heart. Even freaken BBQ sauce is gone :( I love my son but fairs fair

Err, okay, but on the diet, she got sicker. Nothing that a good roast, potatoes and turnip that Dad cooked couldn't fix. Err, that said, if the Gluten sensitivity has been determined by that stupid, dumb, western medicine stuff that actually has precise gene markers for the allergy, then by all means, follow the advice 100%. Mate, you will benefit huge. Think about it, did anyone here ever hear anything about Gluten 20 years ago? It's been part of the human diet for several thousand years?

I'm just happy no one has yet dismissed someones complaints with a smug "First world problems" ******** statement...
The whole dismissive "first world problems" crap is based on one idea: in a first world country, you obviously aren't allowed to have problems, and anything that annoys you should instead make you sit back and think of the starving chillins in some other country. To hell with that ridiculous philosophy...a problem is a problem...problems that you have will be completely different to a problem someone in a third world country will have. That doesn't make them any less of a problem for the person it affects. I've seen those "funny" pictures where someone has, for instance, locked their keys in the car, or dropped an ice cream, or something, and someone will have added lettering saying "first world problems". The fact is, for the person it happens to, it is a problem...and to be blunt, someone in a primitive village in the Congo isn't going to have the same problems as you do, so it is irrelevant to them in those "third world countries". So I suppose that's what grinds my gears...people who smugly dismiss your mention of lifes problems with a glib "First world problems" saying... |

I effing hate idiots that drive in the right lane, or worse the ones that get right beside another car and stay there. I find myself purposely bulldozing them in the new ute - getting right up their date until they move over.
I hate head office. This is a generalised statement and anybody who has worked in a franchise or chain store will agree with me. I hate my boss some days. Loosely related to the above.

Well my Casio watch which I was given as a 21st birthday present had finally died after nearly 8 years of service. They can't get the parts anymore to fix the LCD screen unfortunately.
For the first time in a long time I figured I should buy myself something nice so I looked around and found one which I just said that was the one, no doubts at all. An Emporio Armani one http://cdn.watchshop.com/profiler/th...1423891755.jpg $550 dollars lighter I take it to the watchmaker to have the band links taken out to fit. I get home and set the time and date no problems, very simple. But **** me the chrono doesn't work at all! It should'nt be complicated. Push A button to start/stop and B to reset. But nothing happens I hate that! Hopefully Myer will be good about it all, well they better be. I would really like it to work because it is very nice.

DEAR EVERY DRIVER;
It's not illegal to park on the nature strip, I've emailed the council, it's only in some areas, where there's underground services, that can get damaged from cars. I just can't stand, how 2 lane streets are now almost impossible to drive though. Because people think, a strip of grass, has underground services. No signs though, you know, with a warning. Lol! I suggest, emailing your council, and asking them to PLEASE, change the laws, or make it known that it's ok to park on 90% of the NS. |

then you have those who see you coming, pull out in the right lane so far before the car in front that without changing my speed I can get in the left lane, and get past them before they reach the car they were planning to overtake. |

trying to load a bunch of photos into photobucket and it decides to put them all into the wrong album even though it had the name of the album i wanted in the "ïn-to" box. now i will have to move over 100 photos one at the time because there dosnt seem to be an option to move multiple pics together.
photo bucket used to be great to use . why did they change it and fleck it all up. might have to start looking for another host site i think.

When we have some good leftovers from tea or I have cooked extra and I decide that I will take it to work for dinner on night shift the next day.
I go to grab it to take to work and my 16 year old son has eaten it for his after school 'snack'. To make matters worse I normally then stuck having to have McDonalds. When I tell my son I had to have McDonalds because he ate my dinner he tells that he would have preferred the McDonalds! |

Third world problems here we come, I hate weekends because its too busy at the boat ramps. Gotta park up to a k away which is no good if you are by yourself. This weekend I bypassed the beautiful weather and waited till today, woke up, looked sunny, got up, hooked up drove to ramp and put in. Meanwhile the breeze had picked up a little, jumped on ski and headed out through GC seaway. Turned north got about 300mtrs took a second look at the 3mtr waves and headed back. Tried the Broadwater, choppy as but I persevered thinking I will find some smooth water, wrong. 40mins later I was almost freezing, bashing along teeth almost falling out finally nearing the ramp again. Well that was a fun day, NOT. hahahaha Gee I hate that.
Want another Jetski related? Before I leave home I generally start the ski and give it a blip and stop. Get to ramp undo ties, plugs in ( sometimes lol) start it give it a blip and turn it off. Put it in, jump on, push the start button, nothing yep nothing. BUGGER.

SUV Drivers - your Nissan X-Trail car isnt a subaru wrx and sucked in you decided on such a **** car, but dont try to drag me off the line cos im not gonna bite. (most times) 4. Train travelling. 5. Self absorbed brother 6. Self centred people with no consideration of others. 7. Police target you cos you drive a nice car, and ignore ppl actually breaking the law 8. ****** whom cant park properly 9. Friends whom get absorbed by a relationship and dont keep in contact anymore 10. Bloody keyboard warriors
