Now this ruined my morning. Why is it massive communication interpretation errors still happen? Got flicked a job last night at a hospital to do this morning. I had extremely limited info so i was relying on the hospital engineering staff to know about it. Somewhere in the communications between the medical equipment people and the hospital people the hospital people misinterpreted something and instead of blocking off 2 car spaces they booked an operating theatre for me. After 3 hours of myself making calls to everyone under the sun to find out what the job was, turns out it was just running a cable in the car park. In the time i spent chasing my tail i had an operable operating room that i could have done some cut price surgury in. Dont like that finger, $50 and my bolt cutters would take that off. Big ears, $20 and the chopper reed could have been had with my stanley knife....

Why is it when young people pass me they say 'sorry' whereas people my age and older say 'excuse me'? What is there to be sorry about?

Why is it that the people that plan car parks think everyone drives a SUV or 4x4 Pick up?
![]() I know of someone who ripped the front bar off their EF XR6 on one of these things. ![]()

I ask the same question every time I park my XR6 in a public carpark, I also ask myself why Ford designed the Falcon with so much overhang at the front, and so low, an extra inch would make a big difference.

on my FG XT ute I have literally just finished shifting the aftermarket front sensors. 2 in the sides of lower grill facing forward, 2 in the fog light black plastic part.
We have bumps like that and also angle parking.

Funnily enough, FGX seems to have more clearance. FG XR's are a nightmare.

I'm cringing at the thought. Those front bars would be irreplaceable by now.

Why is it that even 6 months after a bloke gets encouraged to leave by management and does (less paperwork then sacking apparently) i still on occasion have to repair relationships with clients after his blunders. Its even worse when its a long term client of mine who i havent seen in a while who is unhappy yet previously they were at the level with me where id go for a beer with them.

Why is it that IRAQ and IRAN are now pronounced EYE-RACK and EYE-RAN? Many decades ago when I was a child they were pronounced E-RAH-K and E-RAH-N.

Why is it that the top soccer league in Australia is called the A-league when it contains a team from New Zealand?

Why is it that the “card only” registers at the self service exit at Coles still require you to select “card” as your payment method?

Why is it that Americans use the MM/DD/YYYY date format but refer to their Independence Day as the Fourth of July?

Don't the sci-fi fans balance it out though with "May the 4th"?

Why is it that we describe pain as 'stabbing' or 'burning' yet most of us have never been stabbed or burnt therefore we don't know what theses things feel like.
