Working with stupid and lazy people who are always complaining about being in trouble and hard done by but too lazy to change their ways and too stupid to work out that the cause of their problem is themselves.
Mint.
People who drift all over the foot or bike path like they are the only people in the world forcing others off on to the grass to get around them.

So my current 1st world issue is when I sit down with a bowl of food and/or drink, grab the 'mote, press a button and...nothing! How frustrating it is to have to put down my food/drink and walk the 5 steps in order to turn on the telly!


As a kids, it was our job to change channel, and adjust the volume for Dad.

any offspring in your house?

Watching some numb nut standing at an intersection pressing the "walk" button non-stop for as long as it takes for the lights to change.
All the while playing on their electronic device. Do they not know that the first time its pressed it knows what to do.
I heard a young mum actually tell her young bloke, "Press it once only". I congratulated her, she was chuffed.


Then WTF are you supposed to do until changes? If you keep pressing it you're distracting yourself from the wait.
Btw I don't wait I just run for it.

...or the idiots that turn around a push it again as they get to the other side.


...or people who come to the lift in the foyer which it only has an "up" button and you are standing there at the door but they still press it case you are either a moron and didn't press it or your electronic request was denied because you didn't push it hard enough.....


A couple weeks ago I was just standing in front of the lift, after ~ 40 seconds a guy walks past presses the button, lift door opens immediately... I sure was grateful, I could've been standing there all day before I realized the stupid lift didn't have a motion sensor.

Oh yeah and...

"now trending..."

What happened to the word "popular"? or "Top Ten ways"... or anything but "trending" which is not a farken word unless you are talking about graphs.


"Petrol prices trending upwards" - YES. (even though "rising" would suffice)

"Now trending - MC Mcd1ckhead's new single" - NO. (Is it trending up or down?)


Farken social media morons.

Since I work in a call center I hate at the end of a conversation when someone goes, too easy or worse - too easy bro. Just hate that saying, along with someone saying - Yeah nah. Well which is it yes or no. But a huge pet hate is when someone spits as they are walking. You see someone walking and they just spit, thats annoying.

I hate 'too easy'.. A guy I worked with would say it all the time as well as 'it is what it is'. What does that mean? Everyone seems to be saying it, but it really annoys me. It's like saying nothing.

Maybe I should get on board, get with the team, suck it up, and get over it? No, it is what it is.

That one's just a case of you being old n slow.
Trending does not mean popular (strictly speaking) or top ten.

I get it though, I have an intense irrational hate of the word 'poop'. Adding the 'p' on the end is just cutesy and downright unaustralian. So I do understand.

Diagonal walking. People with their bodies facing straight down the path, their head facing right, and walking diagonal left. How am I supposed to get past you? Even worse when I'm on a shared bike path trying to get around you without being an arsehole. Even more worse when you're looking at your facking phone! ****s!

Un-scrunched paper towels. You wet your hands (not even close to washing). You grab a bunch of paper towels and give them a bit of a wipe. Then toss the towels in the overflowing bin so they fall all over the place. What's the matter? Too hard scrunch the towel into a small ball before throwing it in?

Chewing gum, cigarette butts, snot in the urinal. What do you think is going to happen to it? You think it's going to disappear by itself? (The snot is in the waterless urinals at work.)

Your pubes and mess all over the shower room. I ride to work. I get there nice and comfortable. I go to the shower room to change and some **** has flooded the place and left pubes on the bench. Grrrrr!

Cigarette butts. You very carefully and responsibly drop it on the ground and grind it to death with your shoe ... then leave it there on the ground! Or you put it on the edge of the bin with the metal lip but don't actually put it out. Or you drop it still lit in the bin and start a fire.

Seemingly every twit in the world with their head down staring at their phone texting. It's getting increasingly annoying.
I get that people don't want to actually talk but can't someone invent a program or app or whatever so you can speak into your phone and the phone converts it into text?

Used to have this rule when having a beer with mates.....if a mobile phone rang or got used at the table, then if anyone could grab the phone before the owner......it would be thrown against the wall.

Bear with my younger generation existence - My mate has been frothing over a chick at uni whom he''ll yap his head off about 24/7, yet does not have the balls to even talk to. I''ve personally watch him go from a bloke that will charge OH closeouts to a speechless wreck when she brings him into a conversation.

We''ve tried to help him out but to no avail.

Somebody making me a cup of tea and passing it to me with their dirty fingers holding the top of the cup, not the HANDLE

Lots of ear wax on others

Bad manners (includes rudeness)

Cut off or dropped in on whilst surfing

Needing/having a poo whilst surfing in wetsuit (had 3 incidents in 13 years, one every 4.3 years - safe for another 3 years)

Long nose hair

Zits that are more like painful red mounds that have no gunk, last weeks.

The word chillax - really hate that

My small hands

My widows peak hair line

Excessive material wants
