We live in a street full of units, and the amount of people who park leaving 2 or 3 metres of gutter in front or behind them or both to not allow other cars to park is a joke...
Then, we have a busy T intersection around the corner. The side street isn't 2 lanes, but at around 5m wide can easy take 2 cars side by side if people can be bothered to pick a side. The amount of times I have wanted to turn left while waiting for a car to turn right from the middle.... Honestly, often takes 3 phases of lights before someone let's them in. Then, when it is me turning right cars see you trying to get in so just roll forward blocking you, staring dead straight pretending to not have seen you.... Honestly.... I wish I had a traffic cam......

dogs that insist on pooping on paths EXACTLY where I go out in bare feet in the dark to get some clean clothes off the line for the morning......squelching fresh doo doo's up through the toes before bed time is not a pastime I recommend nor enjoy
finish the washing only to find another set of clothes that the minister for all things enjoyable simply must have tomorrow

The wife standing there yelling & screaming at the kids (shrieks like a fishmonger's wife!) then tells me off when I go smack their ***** for doing whatever caused her to be shrieking at them in the first place!

A very late running Sydney bound XPT service.
I thought "What a load of horse s**t excuse until I boarded and it kept overshooting several stations due to running over Canola seed dropped from a freight train. Apparently the seed turned to oil on its brake discs. Didn't completely dry off until it got to Junee.

Condolences to the freight train’s sister-in-law.
At least the reasoning is an interesting one, and a few farmers are getting a crop out. |

Farmers wouldn't like their grain laying all over the track, not a lot of happy rail customers either. Missed coach connections etc., all the way up the line.

Teachers that can't get their classes off my bus quickly.
I usually have to go to another job after dropping them back at school, and time is of the essence... "Sit. Be quiet, no one's getting up until you're all quiet..." It's never going to happen you moron!! Just get the ferals off my bus, so I can be on my way. People who pull up across our driveway at work for the red light a few metres down the hill. They can see I'm sitting there in a bus, waiting to turn out. They look DIRECTLY AT ME, but still cannot stop a car length or two back to allow me to pull out across traffic. There is a regular industrial run we've been doing for a company for at least 20 years. From Central out to the warehouse at Botany, and back in the afternoon. There is one woman who catches the bus, that has never held a licence herself, because she admits she would have the worlds worst road rage, and end up killing someone. Instead she sits a few seats behind us and whinges about all the stupid things people do in traffic that hold us up - even on the way TO work. Pedestrians not crossing the road fast enough, pulling out from side streets and blocking lanes... She is SO obnoxious about it, that a few years ago at their staff Christmas party, someone bought her a steering wheel from a wrecking yard as a joke. She has not attended a Christmas party since... But EVERY afternoon, we have to wait at the back of the warehouse until the end of shift buzzer goes. That is in the contract. Then we head up the front and get the office staff. The minute this woman has her bum in a seat (prior to the buzzer) she starts complaining "We can go now. Let's go. That's it, there's no one else...what are we waiting for??" It's SO RUDE. I asked if it was just me she did it to, but all the boys say she does the same thing to them too. We all ignore her, but if you don't start the engine the second that buzzer goes, look out...

You know the part/item is "somewhere" in the shed, after a thorough search you give up and buy another - then said item turns up when you're looking for something else.
I really hate that!

Some good laughs in this thread.
When you walking in the dark and you stand on a lego, toy car or the pointy end of a power cord. Not fun. |

"KEEP LEFT UNLESS OVERTAKING" apparently these signs aren't big enough.
"Oh, I better overtake this truck exactly 1 kph faster than Him and use the entire passing lane to do it" "Gee, I'm a slow driver. Never mind, I can speed up in this passing lane." "wow, you could fit two cars in that gap. I better leave 2m clearance on either side of my car" "Better hurry before the light turns red as I'm turning through this intersection. Or not. Whatevs." "I drive a Nissan X-trail" a lot of the time, when someone on the road ****** me off, they're in one of these. "It's pretty dark at the moment. Better drive without my headlights on" I get terrible road rage. |

Blew another headlight on the Falcon yesterday.
So today I go to change it, its on the side with the airbox, beauty, easy to get to, simple just tke the cover off and change a single H4. I get the cover off, I undo the little metal clip that is holding in the globe, and it falls off into the engine bay. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! Such a pain in the *** to get it back on, you never can remember which way it came off and you spend the next 20 minutes fidgeting around behind there. |

A lot of road problems could be fixed by people reading signs...
"Keep left unless overtaking"...fairly self-explanatory, but apparently it's written in Mandarin to most people for all the notice they take. Speed limits...yes indeed, they are a maximum, but the idea is that they are the speed you should be travelling at on that piece of road. ...and the list goes on. Other issues? Anyone upgraded iTunes lately...? Can't say that's any easier or user friendly than the old version, that's for sure... |

Hmm, another one from me: The train / tram level crossing timings here in Adelaide is garbage. The boom gates come down when the approaching train / tram is like 1km away doing all of 40 kays an hour on approach, then stay down while the train / tram is stationary at the train / tram station, and traveling away from the said level crossing you are waiting at. The boom gates will not re-open until the train / tram that is moving away from the crossing you are sat at, leaves the station. Like WTAF is wrong with the engineers who program these switches?Fair call if the oncoming train was doing 300 clicks or so... Unlike in Queensland (where I used to live there many moons ago), when an approaching train doing 80 clicks or so, the boom gates came down within 300 meters or so of the crossing, the train wizzes by and as soon as it's clear of the level crossing, lets say 50 meters or so, the gates raise, and everyone is on there way. I guess the engineers have factored in for the lowest common denominator retreads who walk / drive among us. /Rant off

Couple of pet hates. People who go up entry ramps at 20kph below the speed limit of the road they need to merge into, and then wonder why they can't...and stop! Makes my blood boil! Learn to merge you ******** moron! Inattentive driver's on 'phones, reading the paper (wtf?), doing their makeup etc....half of these people couldn't drive a finger up their ar*e, and yet they don't even apply their full concentration to the task at hand... People who ignore their dogs barking all night while neghbours try to sleep with ear plugs... Generally inconsiderate people...too many around these days. /rant.
