You are sitting at the front of a red traffic light. Pedestrian is waiting to cross in front of you. The second your light turns green they step off the gutter right in front of you. Forcing you to wait for another 5 seconds while they wander across. Usually which means more cars behind you are stuck for another 5 minute cycle.
Also you are waiting at a red left arrow. Pedestrian walks up to the button and presses it, then continues walking across the road without stopping. Then the straight ahead light goes green while your arrow stays red so you can 'wait' for a pedestrian to cross who has already disappeared off into the distance |

Cats who rip their bell off their collar at 3am on a work night and play soccer with it down the slate floors.
Every night this week! *grumbles*

Being a bloke who walks to work or the shops. You happen to join the footpath when there's a lady 20-30m ahead and for the next 5min each twist and turn they do happens to be your same direction and you can watch them being all uneasy, pulling their handbag closer and pretending to rub their chin on their shoulder to look back thinking you will jump them any second.
I'm a fast walker... Got some shocked looks when I try to overtake a little too fast.....

I hate busting a nut at work to make somebody else look good....I am very much a 'go hard so I can go home' person, and I think this fact is getting a little too abused. Maybe I am too efficient for my own good :(

Garden blowers.
Users blow the clippings on to the road after mowing the lawn as cars drive by. Even worse when they blow the clippings whilst cars are Stationary at stop signs or red lights. |

ah! they're all right I suppose but it's rare for me to take time off and this day was a beauty, builders not working so my work was down, finished early, 35 mm rain in 20 hours, cold south wind. just the shot for a day by the fire, catching some ZZZZZ's........but in the words of a famous man....."ya get that!" I must get around to installing the wood burner in the shed, at least I could lock the world away for a while. bloody wrapping, whats the deal with the anti intrusion wrapping on everything nowadays.....

When you write an email with multiple questions and the respondent only answers one, which also happens to be the least significant of them all.

I hate looking on Carsales and finding a 2013 FG MKII XR6 Turbo for $34k driveaway and realising it would cost me a third of my current monthly repayments on the Paj but still have far too much negative equity on the Paj to trade in.
**** I hate that, cause overall I would be saving bloody near on $600 a month once all costs are considered and be five times faster than what I am driving now. :(

Not really a 'Geez! I hate that!' moment - more of a 'Geez! I love getting one back on them' moment.
Earlier in this thread I mentioned how my teenage son will eat leftovers that I put away for my dinner at work. The other day, my son was out grocery shopping with his mother (a very rare occasion - my wife must have tricked him into it!) and he bought some chocolate cookies (with my money of course). Geez they were nice - every one of them!!!! |

"laxatives in the leftovers".......reminds me of the feller down clare way who was having his firewood stolen so he put a quarter of a plug of gelignite in a hollow piece and back filled it with sawdust and glue.
soon found out who was pinching his wood!!!

When the youngest Cat decides at 5:00 it's time to get up, so fights his sister. Who just happened to be sleeping next to you, and is now kicking **** on top of you.

3 Paragraphs. Get a call from the person.. "Hello, yeah, I got your email, it's a bit of an essay! What did you ask for, a sales contract?" I wanted the contact details for the owners of the vacant block next to me to arrange a shared lock for our shared driveway... This has been the case for years... I like sending long, detailed emails / letters and all I hear is 'Too much information in 1 hit, people won't read it...' and, in most cases, they don't.

When using superglue to repair your remote control plane, leaving on the workbench for the glue to cure only to come back later to find it's now firmly glued to the bench.

I hate it when I wash the car and get it looking like new to come out the next morning and discover that the neighbour had his chimenea or whatever going last night and the car is covered in little specks of ash!

I know this'll happen again during the week so I may as well post it up now.
I can't STAND when I pick up a call and the person on the other side doesn't respond. I say, "hello, ........hello?............hello??" I can hear rustling of papers or ppl talking in the background, then someone finally says, "oh, glad I caught you I needed to find out ......" The person who called me did it while on speakerphone, probably trying to multitask and then was caught offguard when I picked up...... it's a pain to receive a call like that when I'm busy too. Sheesh....arghhh. I could just hang up next time, but don't want to be rude. *sigh* |

When I want pudding, but nobody else in the house wants pudding. My pudding in a mug recipe is for two, and uses one egg, I can't split that, plus the motivation to make pudding disintegrates when you're only making it for yourself! And so I am puddingless.

I hate it when I'll purposely pause something I'm watching on Foxtel IQ so I can then FF the ads and do something of more importance in the meantime...
To then accidentally hit the remote after returning to lose my entire paused session. Sadly have to admit I've done this more times than I'd like to admit. |

People who don't know what suburb they live in....
I sell some stuff online. Around half the people I send stuff to are a little confused about where they live. They put their suburb they live in, then the capital city suburb after it... Eg: Mr Customer, 123 Xyz Street, Bankstown, Sydney, NSW 2200 or: Mrs Customer 76 Joe Blow Street Bulimba Brisbane, 4147 Queensland, Australia Sydney is its own suburb, as is Brisbane! The ONLY time you use the capital city name is if you actually live within the postcode. Such a common mistake.......
