When I ask them what it was, it's usually older xfs els etc that are 20 years old atleast which they tell how there family would never buy one again etc etc and how ford is a crap brand. I literally sit back and reflect on what they tell me, and can't help but shake my head, especially when a mate of mine buys a bmw which his already spent 4 grand within 2 months trying to fix it .

Last year my mum traded her 01 ml320 Benz. In 18 months it cost 21 thousand to keep on the road. She was adiment that if she spent 3500 to fix the central locking they would up the trade in from 3500 to 5k. Last time I checked, dropping 3 and a half for a 1500 gain is a monster loss. The silly bird then bought another Benz. Last time I checked, the blue oval never had such major issues with trivial things like airbag sensors and what not in a car that never been crashed. Geez I hate pig ignorence

[xr6-FTW]

Reminds me of my time at bmw, people barking at me and my colleagues to do everything at trade price to save themselves every ****en cent they could, they were usually one group of people that always would which I won't mention, how about you buy a non crashed bmw and not whinge about every ****en cent you have to fork out to fix your p.o.s car worth 150,000 grand a few years ago that you bought for 20,000 smashed, so lucky I got out of there, I hated being treated like a miserable **** by other workers there and the job itself In parts. But I hate that I dont know what to do with myself now.

Go to the cinema, has allocated seats.

Walk in to find people in your seat... cinema is packed and you tell them to move only to be glared at back like you are the one trying to cause a problem...

I watched 1 couple play musical chairs 3 bloody times... Hows this for an idea, sit in your bloody allocated seat??

People who don't fill the kettle after using it or only fill it enough for one coffee, IT TAKES 1.7L SO FILL IT WITH 1.7L!

I don't even drink instant coffee or tea but when I see the kettle empty or with a tiny bit of water on it, I see red.

Well I only put enough water in to make the 1 or 2 cups I'm going to make now.Why waste power boiling three times the water you need.

ya clown, why leave water in it to go stale or have to boil heaps and not use it.
I've decided you are wrong

[X-AHH]

When going out to have a meal with my wife I sometimes order a burger because I don't like the fast food ones very much but really enjoy the more home made types.
I then have to eat it with a knife and fork because she or others in the establishment might judge me for picking it up and eating it with my hands.
Don't put burgers on the menu unless you can tolerate them being eaten without cutlery!

[xr6-FTW]

I hate when your sitting down in a classroom like I am now where generally the room is quiet but the person next to you constantly sniffles and breathes through there mouth making like a whistling noise. Reminds me of my exams where I wanted to kick a tissue box through the persons head like I want to do right now.

!

I will never eat a hamburger with a knife and fork, even if I was invited to the White House for dinner. The same 'look at me look at me' crowd probably eat pizza and hot dogs with a knife and fork too 'we had an open-hamburger for tea last night' LOL

I had to cut one in half once to manage it, was from the Axedale Tavern near Bendigo.

If it's a kettle which gets used frequently at work by a lot of people or something, I can see why you'd want it always full.

But for a home kettle, I read last year that it costs about $1.60 to boil a full electric kettle in Australia.

The same reason I haven't turned off the stereo in the workshop in over a year, because I don't want to

There may be someone else who wants to use the kettle, with its common damn courtesy, its nice when its filled.

I don't even use the kettle because I don't drink instant coffee but its my damn kettle and thus I dicatate how it gets used

Do you just put enough fuel in your car to get you to where your going or do you fill it up?

Its at my workshop and I seem to have a lot of visitors who enjoy horrible instant coffee and thus require the use of my kettle

I've probably already said this but I'll say it again...

Mobile phones!!! I'm after a decent Android phone of 4 or 4.3 inches.

NOTHING 'decent'... It seems that anything at the size is now relegated to 'cheap and nasty entry level devices - even newly released models like the Samsung J1 mini (that has poor reviews and not even a bloody flash for its camera)....

And NO, 4.5 inches is not 'almost the same'....

Would be happy to pay a premium for a smaller phone.. hopefully the release of the new IPhone with the 4" screen will prompt others to follow suit....

This phones s little on the big side and may be hard to get but search up oneplus x. You might say wtf is thst But oneplus is a Chinese brand that build pretty nifty phones mate, ive got a oneplus one that I bought for the specs. 1.5 years later shes still going good. My mate told me about the phone at the time and I couldn't resist the specs and price for the phone. Sure therea a oneplus 3 atm but I'm still happy with mine, still better than a Samsung galaxy s5, iPhone 5s even 6. Theres a few websites that would sell the oneplus x here but eBay could be a factor getting one. Make sure you look at specs on gsmarena. You won't be disappointed.

Looks like a great phone, but screen size is 5".

Had it been 4 or 4.3 I would have already ordered it.

Might get this bad boy... near 3 years old and specs that put a lot of much newer phones to shame.

Would have been a ton of money when released!

Now to find one that's 'new' not refurbished.

Bugger.... built in battery. May be an issue :(

Ok, now you've got me curious.

Why 4 to 4.3 inches and not 4.5?

Do you have really small pockets?

Call me stupid, but I like the idea of using my phone with one hand!

I can reach all 4 corners of the screen with my thumb up to 4.3 inches.

[commodorenutt]

Are we still talking about phones or something else?

[Mercury Bullet]

I really hate that my phone has started to hang-up after the third ring.

Never used to.

Do not get a z1.
Get at least a z3 compact.

It's 4.6" but so worth it.

You'll also find the older ones will run like **** on a new operating system. Hooray planned obsolescence.

This is a network setting
Try asking your service provider to extend the ring time.

If you're with Telstra type in your phone **61*101**30# and press call.

If you're not with Telstra, change the '101' to whatever your carriers voicemail number is.

The '30' indicates how many seconds your phone will ring prior to diverting voicemail. Max is 30 seconds, but you can choose another time in 5 second intervals (15, 20, 25 etc).

I hate it when your driving down the coast an some idiots drive 20-30kmph under the limit then when they get to a town they do 20-30kmph over the speed limit

Reminds me of the native gentleman watching the cricket at the Adelaide Oval. Every time someone got up to get a drink he would move to their seat. He had his own glass long neck hidden up his shirt. Talk about a sense of entitlement. And everyone just seemed to ignore him and work around him

[Lunch]

It seems with more and more cars being released with driving lights/ spot lights/ those small lights low in the front bumper ( call them what u will ) I see and increasing amount of lazy-*** drivers getting around when it's dark with 1 headlight out, relying on their spottys to carry the load, if I was too lazy or too clueless and hadn't/ couldn't replace a blown headlight u can b damn sure I'd b pulled over for it within a week. ( not that that's my gripe )
Geez! I hate that!
Just fix ur damn headlight

And don't get me started on those idiots that have a headlight out that don't have spottys

[Lunch]

When you're sitting in the right lane on the freeway/ motorway/ tollway with cruise control on doing the speed limit or pretty close to it ( in this particular case 102 ) slowly overtaking with no cars behind or in front of u in your lane when an idiot from the left lane decides at the last minute to pull out in front of u to overtake the car in front of them that's doing maybe 92 when they have been sitting behind the car in front for as far back as u could see and decides to do it at 93, forcing u to disengage cruise, so u decide to sit right up close cos after all, they pulled out in front of u right, and they r sitting in the "overtaking lane" and not doing the limit, then this person has the nerve to throw u suggestive hand gestures and general unsociable behaviour followed but that golden oldy "I'll scare them by tapping the brakes" ( which used to work but doesn't get a response from me anymore ) and upon realising that this hasn't worked, decides to slow to 85 all the while flailing around behind the wheel like a monkey that dropped a banana, then the person that was about 300mtrs behind catches up and decides to undertake at the speed limit but can't cos the clown in front of me then decides to increase their speed by 5ks and close the gap to the car they were trying to overtake 1km back that is still in front of us, now this idiot has both lanes on the freeway blocked and doing 90 and still glaring at me in the mirror like its something I did all the while I'm just sitting right up close ( I may have gotten a little bit too close at 1 point, even got my heart racing a little ) not getting angry, not throwing any hand signals or anything of the sort. Approximately 2.5-3kms after initiating this whole thing they finally get the overtake completed and as I drive past I receive more suggestive hand signals out the window and a mouthful of abuse, like I could hear.
Geez! I hate that
