You can add phone apps to that list. The domain.com.au and the realestate.com.au app was great to use till they did an 'update' and totally stuffed up the user interface.... removed both apps and don't bother.

Their recent feedback makes for some interesting reading... I wonder if the developers for the Domain app have worked out why there are more 1 star ratings than 5 star ratings yet?????

1. My neighbour...apparently it's okay for her to throw her cigarette butts, tea bags, sink plugs, dog clippings, etc. out of her kitchen window into my yard...apparently it's also okay for her to feed my Staffy (who's already well fed enough)!

2. Traffic - indicators aren't confirming actions, a forty zone is not an excuse to try to kiss my bumper because you're oblivious and can't see the very clear signs that say 40, the people who see the gap you've left in front of you for the 'hallucination braker' and decide that their vehicle will fit in there, people who slow down when you can't overtake them, but as soon as the overtaking lane appears, they're suddenly race car drivers.

3. People who blame others for things, even when it's very clear they are wrong.

4. Hateful people - bigot, racist, I don't care...they irk me.

5. Repeating myself...

That's about it, for now.

ok i got a good one, i really hate my local council, and yes i hate the choo choo !!!,
for 30 years they have been making noises about putting the railway gates under ground......we know how that went don`t we ??
i live between 2 sets of gates one set 3k east of me, the other set about the same west of me, travel across these gates at peak hour can be an absolute nightmare, i have been held up on the spot ............ no mooovy for 8 minutes+ on a number of occasions, probably 5 or 6 is probably the norm !!!
Geez i hate that !

[2011G6E]

One way to get an advantage in traffic and get an idea what that guy at the other set of lights/stop sign is about to do, is ride a motorbike for a while...

You find that you stop looking at the indicator...which could or could not mean anything...and instead look at little details. Are the wheels turned in the direction he's about to go? You also start looking at the driver to see where he's looking, instead of just trusting his indicators...

Lining up at the checkout at woolies behind a lady, who is on the phone. The checkout person will say "that will be $xxx." Takes her time to finish call. Remove bag put in phone, throw bag over shoulder. Then watch the light bulb illuminate above her head, ahh thats right I'm going to have to pay for my purchase. Remove handbag from shoulder, proceed to rat through 15 kilos of crap to find purse. Re-position handbag on shoulder. Open purse to find card. Shut purse. The console operator says "do you have a rewards card?" Open purse again sift through 27 cards. "I know it's in here somewhere". Then phone rings, remove handbag from shoulder, sift through her bag again to find phone, put handbag over shoulder again.Yapping on the phone while looking for rewards card in purse with one hand. "here is the rewards card". Finally pay the bill. Replace cards in purse. remove handbag again, chuck in purse. handbag on shoulder. Continue yapping on phone, too busy to say "thanks" to checkout chick. Remove bag again, put in docket, repace bag. Look away from checkout while wingeing on phone, finish call, remove bag, put phone in, bag on again. I greet checkout person with a "hello" but she has no where to put my items as lady has not loaded her trolley.I load my trolley directly, instead of having my items placed where it is easy for the operator. So said lady loads trolley finally. She gives the operator an animal like grunt and an evil glare as if to say "Don't rush me".
At last she has gone or so you think.
I have cash out ready to pay. "do you have a rewards card?" I am asked. "No" I reply in a friendly tone. Collect my change, say "thank you, have a great day" and wander over to the smokes counter.
Guess who is at the smokes counter? She looked disturbed having to interrupt her phone call to tell the girl what type of smokes she was after. Too busy for a hello, a may or a please. Repeat entire payment performance. Again too busy on the phone to say "thanks". Heard her winging to someone on the phone that "no I can't do that there are not enough hours in the day".
Get my smokes with a please and thank you included and my shopping is complete.

I see her again in the car park. Guess who is too busy to push her trolley 12 metres over to the trolley storage area? Instead she spends 30 seconds positioning it in such a fashion that it wont start rolling down the slight hill at that precise moment.

I think a suitable punishment would be for her to be pulled aside and watch a video of her shopping performance over and over for a few hours. Then go and collect all of the trolleys that others are too busy to put in the holding bays.

I normally go shopping at 6am when there is no-one else around. A payment by cash only lane would be a plus.

[Spudz27]

I will add a new petty one. No work today but I managed to knee the front door and it feels like I bruised the bone, so I am hobbling around. Did the grocery shopping anyway. So get home, put the shopping away, make myself a really nice healthy lunch, kids are at school and think to myself "yep there is a few show on foxtel to catch up on"

So I proceed to the family room, sit down and get comfy, my knee is killing me putting any pressure on it. Take a bite of my lunch, grab the remote to the tele, only to find the kids turned the tv off at the tv. I have told them so many times not to, but today because of my knee was more annoying than usual.

Couldn't think of what to say in this thread, so I'll mention what I saw on my Facebook news feed.

It appears I've got a friend who's an anime lover and he shared some meme picture that says "Anime is not cartoons, when will people understand that!" I'm sorry but this is absolutely ridiculous! By definition it is freaking a cartoon!

define: cartoon
1. A simple drawing showing the features of its subjects in a humorously exaggerated way, esp. a satirical one in a newspaper or magazine

2. A comic strip

3. A simplified or exaggerated version or interpretation of something
- this movie is a cartoon of rural life in America
- Dolores becomes a cartoon housewife, reading glossy magazines in a bathrobe

4. A motion picture using animation techniques to photograph a sequence of drawings rather than real people or objects

5. A full-size drawing made by an artist as a preliminary design for a painting or other work of art

And that above is exactly what anime/maga fits under. It's like saying "It's not a Ford, it's a Falcon". So anime is really a genre more than anything. Anyone who disputes this is delusional, enough said.


Hows that for first world problems

I've had this same conversation with my 14 year old Son!!
( 14 year old boys don't think too clearly anyway, so I'm sure you can guess how the conversation went)

My other "hate" ( aside from many I share with others in this thread)

Here's how it goes:

My Wife calls out and tells me something, usually from another room.
I don't hear her, therefore I'm accused of either not listening or being deaf.
Reverse the roles, and I'm then accused of "mumbling" or not speaking clearly!!!

We've been married over 10 years so obviously this is a battle I'm never going to win. I rest my case.......

[Spudz27]

Hahahahahaha I blamed my kids for turning off the tv, it was their mother who did it.

[poppa smurf]

a fair while ago, when my eldest was living at home, there was a special on large screen plasma tv's so "self", I said, "self, I shall purchase two of these".....one for me, one for the boy!

unbeknown to me the two remotes worked on either tv unless otherwise programmed....I know as much about this stuff as I do about nuclear science

sitting in the easy chair one night enjoying watching the new idiot box it suddenly changed station....."strange" I say's and put it back, a few minutes later it did it again

3 times in total until i got up to see what i could see at the tv......turning round, after finding nothing amiss, I see my son, his remote in hand standing behind my chair laughing so hard he had tears running down his cheeks.

kids are buggers at times

Back when I was still at uni and they had just bought out those 'remotes' that went with Apple MacBooks...

We, being I.T. students, quickly figured out that they worked on ALL MacBooks...

While I now feel like a complete and utter prat for even thinking it, at the time it was rather hilarious to watch people pull out their new shiny and suddenly erupt into a rage mid-lecture as these MacBooks shut down for no apparent reason, or the volume skyrocketed as they were watching something unrelated to the lecture... yeah... we were 'those kids'... *sigh*

@AK99,

I get the same thing, except mine decides just as I start to take a shower is THE BEST POSSIBLE TIME to engage me in our financial planning for the fortnight coming, then gets annoyed when I don't know which bills are coming out on what date at what time and why the train drivers cap is BLUE not RED traveling in a north/north-easterly direction at precisely 82km/h on the Cleveland line...

Also, cleaning MY car is me being obsessive... cleaner HER car is a necessity...

A bloke at work has a saying which I've now stolen: "I don't try to understand women... women understand women ...... and they all hate each other"

Slightly off topic but I did a similar thing a few weeks ago. While installing a remote control ceiling fan at a mates house I noticed the door bell ringing when pressing the "on" button on the fan remote. Turns out the fan remote shared the same frequency as the wireless door bell... Watching my mates wife answer the door to noone there was priceless lol

you're a cruel, cruel man......but I like your thought process!

I hate indecisive people.......then again I'm not so sure!

I hate when people spoil the joy of threads like this by bringing their holier than thou reality checks.. bloody first world problems!

so you think it is ok to point out to someone where the trolley bay is
but it isn't ok for someone to point out how trivial complaining about everyday things is

[fgtpsi]

The western ring road every day of the week.

[Crazy Dazz]

As the saying goes; “Perth has the best weather in the world, except when we don’t.” Annual lashing winter storms these past two days, dark as your boot, wall od water sweeping down the road,
And ******* MORONS not putting on their lights.
And its ALWAYS the boring farts in their invisible mud-brown or silver cars. FFS if you are too stupid to use your lights, at least buy red cars.

[mik]

i hate that !

[TheSneakiness]

I hate when three low socio-economic thugs decide to harass my wife and son at the train station while waiting for me to come home.

They were lucky I wasn't there otherwise I wouldn't be posting this now from the comfort of my office chair.

[Alan D Segal]

I got another one because I'm a grumpy old bloke - All the bloody tom waterhouse ads when I'm trying to watch rugby league. Yes, you can bet on sport, but you don't have to and many football fans don't need to know what the ****ing odds are every add break.

[Peuty]

Yeah, gambling ads are annoying. The BetFair one is particularly annoying - it makes it sound like placing a bet with them is a sure thing!

[PridenJoy]

I hate it when idiots see the gap I leave to the car in front as their chance to jump in front of me and occupy that gap. I'd hate to ride a bike or drive a truck these days.

I hate it when I'm minding my own business in the right lane doing about 5 kays more than the speed limit when a moron doing supersonic speeds is up my bumber all of a sudden and expects me to move. If you want to do 200 km/h, overtaking on the left lane won't get you in any extra trouble champ. Almost guranteed to be a 6 cyl old commodore, a little buzzbox or a female P plater too.

I hate it when you're second in line at the round about, and the car in front won't go even though there are no cars to give way to, and when you give them a tiny little beep you get the middle finger! Ah **** that makes me angry.

Driving is becoming very frustrating because of the increasing number of morons on the roads.

[Franco Cozzo]

Executive summary in a report, a condensed version of the entire report right at the start, pointing out the findings and solutions and a conclusion.

I can understand on a huge report, but under 20 pages? Just read it if you want to find out the findings, solutions. Otherwise don't ask for it to be created if you prefer not to read it

[Madaya]

I laugh when reading some of the hubby/wife paraphernalia stuff, yeah, it's just the beginning...
I have to convince my compadres that the following is true...
The weatherman on TV says, "Rain tomorrow".
Tomorrow comes and no rain?
My (now) ex would say to me - "It hasn't rained!"
I'd agree with her observation. The demand was...
"What are you going to do about it?"
That left me stumped. We had a retric bore, I guess I could press start, then again, my ex could press start just as well as I without conversation. But seriously, the Weather Folk made my life hell, which why I decided to get a new life.

[XR6T0Y]

Stupid twit p -plate drivers that think they own the road

Driving home in the DARK tonight, and had a red P follow me in his VR/VS commode. Got so close that I couldn't see his headlights in my side mirrors. Turns out it was someone from work because he was "bored"

Was actually about to call the cops because I was getting worried. Now he has got all his friends to have a go at me 'cause I didn't appreciate the fact he could have killed me!

[poppa smurf]

cheaply made, expensive, toilet paper.........

[grandpa_spec_F6]

I hate it when you have someone in a great big hulking 4wd occupy the right lane who wont pass the car to their left.

You flash your lights, honk your horn and they still don't get the message.... then the little buzz box that was holding the 4wd up that you never saw due to monster 4wd shoots left and the 4wd gives you the finger amd hightails it....

... I felt pretty bad about that one :/

Tl; dr version: being wrong about things sucks
