Apologies if this has been done before but what really annoys you?
I stayed in a hotel room last night and fuck me what is with shower/basin taps that don't tell you which way is hot and cold. Why the fuck should I have to guess which way is hot. It is even worse if it takes ages for the hot water to arrive as you second guess and move the handle.

Talk about my kind of post. I can’t wait to add to it when I have more time
-
@chimoaus love your work, this is my kind of thread.
-
It's because a minute spent waiting on that is a minute you'll never get back, and us old people realise how few we've got left!
Also, shouting at things you can't change is awesome.
-
People who arrive at the bar/ front of the queue and haven't worked out what they want to order.
People who are slow of thought and even slower in execution. Mainly applied to drivers.
-
@antipodean supermarkets are even worse. They've had all the time in the world to get their card out of their fucking wallet / handbag but no they have to wait until everything has been bagged before like a complete out of nowhere shock they realise payment is expected!
On that theme. Why do old fucks who have all week have to do their shopping at the weekend like us wage slaves. You morons! Do it during the week. There'll be no pressure on you. You can take as long as you want to chat to the (poor) operator about your health issues and find your purse and there'll be fewer shoppers when I need to go/ WIN / WIN!!!!
This could be the longets thread ever. I'm sure i could fill up several thousand posts on my own.

People who stop in doorways or at the top of escalators!

One that has pissed me off recently. fluffybunnies who want to talk to me in bars just because they've noticed I'm a regular. They don't seem to have noticed I quietly sit by myself but they have to break into my cone of silence.
I've just spent 12 hours at work having to be pleasant to people. Leave me alone to enjoy my beer!

Now that really is GOM ! Right there!
Just on the verge of miserable fluffybunny -
People at the checkout who just stand there until after all the groceries are in their trolley and the operator has told them what the amount is. Then they get taken completely by surprise, not having considered they will need to have some means of payment. They then start rummaging around in their handbag for their purse, out of which they produce an EFTPOS card that apparently is technologically too advanced for them to comprehend, so they have to spend an hour trying to slide it through the reader, all the while everybody else stands there silently screaming "just use the fucking Paywave you dozy old cow".

Also, people who jump in with better versions of my amazing stories whilst I am two-finger typing. Looking at you @dogmeat you prick.

I'm especially going to like that one because it repeats what @dogmeat said a few posts before and might make him even grumpier (sitting in the corner of his pub)
-
@JC I believe we call that a BooBoo around here.
People who try and get into a full elevator before letting anybody out.
-
@Crucial Exactly
-
People who apparently are trying to balance the Reserve Bank's ledger right there at the ATM. Just take your 20 bucks and fuck off. In fact I'll give you 20 bucks just to fuck off. Pathetic.
-
@JC - you mean the ones that try 4 different cards desperately trying to find one that has a positive balance, including as a final resort their Library Card (issues 1994), before leaving after 15 minutes having done nothing at all other than wasted the time of the queue that has developed while they have been fucking about?

Oh yes! Had this one the other day.
Ever heard of phone banking pal? Internet? Why are you doing your transactions on the street! Hit $, take it and leave. -
What about stupid people that think they can coach and select the ABs but have no clue about it. They can piss right of!
-
@Crucial We have been told for years that an idiot could coach the ABs and win - it seems that they were wrong.

Why did we have to prove it twice? Did people not notice Mitchell?

Because we had idiots appointing the idiots?

Actually Mitchell kind of proved the theory to start with. It took him a while to get the downward slide happening.
-
At least Mitchell was prepared to select some new players...
Christ, now I feel dirty defending him.

Foster will struggle to out do sending Cullen back to club rugby to get better.

Thank fuck for this post. I was about 80% sure this thread existed, but since I'm mostly drunk when I'm on here, I didn't want to suggest it...
Cant remember if I posted on the other one but I hate people who come to a complete stop at roundabouts regardless of traffic, and also slow walkers. They're probably the same people.

fluffybunnies who take up the whole aisle at supermarkets
fluffybunnies who take their whole weeks shop through the self service checkouts
fluffybunnies who drive 5km below the speed limit in the right hand lane. -
People who make my coffee and don't stir the sugar in. Fucktards.

People who get annoyed by people who put sugar in their coffee.

just buy a fucking milkshake, warm it up, and be done with it.

@mariner4life I used to have a half strength coffee. Now that was a milkshake.
