Of course you can do it, poppa smurf! Not fond of that but you know you will do it because you're poppa smurf. And she'll smile and say, "thank you, honey!"

![]() And now my geez ...... When you buy a car that is on your bucket list and .... when it comes time to sell it because you are getting to sick to enjoy it a mate says he can get you the full purchase price back. So, you drive 4,000km to drop it off to him, spend three days in XXXXXXXX to recover from the drive, fly back home only to spend a week in hospital being told off by Doctors for being so stupid. Then you find out "your mate" just wanted the car for himself and is trying .... perhaps not too hard to sell it in the hopes you will drop the price so he can afford it or offers you a payment plan of $100/week for the next five years guaranteed in writing so his other half does not find out and your family will have a guaranteed income after you die!!! .... I hate that Cheers Vincenzo

Would like to keep this thread alive ;).....
I hate those silly straws you get when you buy a frozen drink.. you know, the ones with the little 'shovel' bit on the end... 1) Has anyone ever used the shovel to consume the frozen beverage? 2) Who else pulls the straw out, rips the shovel end off with their teeth and continues using the straw as designed to suck the remaining contents of the drink??

Bicycle riders who refuse to use the bike path...... no more than 5 metres away and yet the lycra clad peddle pusher's continue to ride 4 abreast with umpteen cars behind them......Grrrr!

when you look at a car advert and communicate asking whats wrong with it etc etc and they say a few things and you think, well i can live with that
then you email under a diff email addy and they say the clear AND paint is gone on the roof and some spots on the bonnet....must of forgot to mention it last time unreal just be honest in the description, but then again...if you were i guess you wouldnt get as many people wasting their time going to look at it. /rant

We struck that just outside of Alice, west mcdonnell ranges, 4 abreast X 10 - 15 bikes long, some sort of ride for something or other, pilot was right up close behind them, left little room for us with the van to pass, they were in no hurry to sort themselves out.
Adelaide hills is another bad spot, around Hahndorf. Most are good but there are odd fools as with most drivers/riders.

Companies who don't answer their emails even though they have them all over their website.
Companies who refuse to "call back when we have that information!"...... wait around for them to call and they never do. Hmm! I reckon I did that to a few sheila's in my younger year's!!....... sorry girl's, thing's to do, place's to go!

If you don't respond to emails, kindly remove the link! Or, simply say "we can't help, sorry." That's all i'm asking for. People who "listen" but don't listen - "What do you think about that?" > *Nods head* "Yeeeeah.." "Did you hear me?" > "No, can you repeat what you said? |

I haven't read all the posts so this may have been mentioned but one of my many pet hates goes something like this......
I'm in the middle of something and just happen to be passing through and the missus starts a conversation about whatever, and I have to stop and mentally change gear to and listen and converse. When the conversation seems to come to a natural conclusion and no immediate further response is forthcoming I go to leave the room and mentally change gear back to whatever I'm thinking about and doing, only to have her say something extra or start a whole new conversation just when I get 3 steps into the next room and are just out of earshot to clearly hear what it is she said and have to stop and go back. This seems to be most prevalent (and irritating) when I'm doing something important, usually some task or issue that she wants sorted out that takes some creative thinking to deal with. The real problem is that she'll do it 2-3 or even 4 times back to ba... er.. consecutively ![]() Bushbasher

yep! I hear ya!
one of my ongoing pet hate's are the cold callers using SMS'sssss who manage to get through the "do not call" register selling insurance or condom's or some other bit of rubbish I neither want nor need. I'm usually up to my ar.....armpit's in grit and tungsten dust, when I have to stop what I'm doing, wash off the dust, clean my glasses, take the cover off my mobile phone, go to the daylight to read the damn thing (phone all scratched up), try to remember how to unlock the thing then how to read the text, only to find out they are offering me up to $250,000 instant loan's. I'd give them "loan" if I could find them. I ignored them a few times only to find out one of them was the old girl telling me she would be home late and for me to put the roast on....."umm! didn't get that one dear". never mind I had cold shoulder with lashings of hot tongue for leftover's.

Poppa, i've been stalking this site for probably 10 months now, and know that if you screwed up, you were gunna paid for it
![]() I'd say you were whipped, but we're so far beyond that point that i have no word to put in place. "Loving marriage"? The old folks may like this one: When you buy food for yourself, only for someone else to clean it up and not offer to buy new ones. Nothing like getting in the mood for some nice Honey Jumbles annnnd you realise you were too late. |

Twice is "oh yeah by the way" Three four and five times is "OK Boyo, now I've got your attention, how long can I keep you listening to me".

I hate having to contact any large businesses or gov't agencies, it is absolutely impossible to pick up the phone and speak to a human.
You go to their website and select "contact us" to find a phone number, you can either: E-mail. Fax. Tweet. Facebook. Send carrier pidgeon. Fire in a scud missile. But you just CANNOT DIAL A NUMBER AND SPEAK TO SOMEONE. God damn, I hate that!!

Pet hate of the day... somewhat in the same vein to my first post above..
People who walk away muttering smart **** comments under their breath or wait till they think you're far enough away to not bother coming back and respond before they mouth off. I really hate that.. and 9 times out of 10 I follow them up or go back and call them on it. Most pussies then wet themselves when they see me bearing down on them. If you haven't got the balls to say it to my face then keep your fkin' mouth shut.

Here's a driving related one,
We all get aggravated with the oblivious, slow moving grey nomad or blind cockie chugging up the highway but the one that really grinds me is the timid pussy who is too scared or stupid to pass the mobile chicane when the opportunity presents itself but insists on sitting so close to it that nobody else can hop around them and then said chicane and be on their way. This irritation is compounded by every stupid pussy who then lines up bumper to bumper behind the first offender so by the time you come upon the train you're 5 cars back and are now faced with getting a run up and trying to pass the equivalent of 2 road trains in one go at warp speed if you don't want to get stuck in the train for the next 50kms. (there's no passing lanes out here) ,,,
