I believe the term is 'rubbernecking'. Yup, pet hate of mine too.

I hate it every time a new thread appears in The Pub about J***ua D*wling.

poppa smurf · 20-05-2013, 06:52 PM

well a big well done from me.......time spent with your family/kids/friends is time well invested.......in the end that is what it is all about......the rest dont matter.

poppa smurf · 28-05-2013, 11:08 AM

bloody glad wrap.......never tears where its meant to then folds up on itself, why will it stick readily to itself away from the object that is to be wrapped but then curls away at the last minute....

running out of coffee at 6 am.......I REALLY hate that.

people that hide their steam trains behind buildings so I got to pay to see them.

pushbike riders, in traffic, going around roundabouts.......when there is a perfectly good bike path not 20 feet off the road.

blueoval · 28-05-2013, 11:13 AM

you crack me up Poppa.

I really dislike having to drive behind a big fat *** 4wd in traffic where I cant see in front of it, and I have to trust the person in the 4wd knows how to drive. Im the type of person who likes to read what the traffic in front is doing, seeing which lane is slower than the other. Nothing worse than not being able to judge whats in front and missing opportunities to take advantage of a break in the traffic.

NickyN · 28-05-2013, 10:12 PM

Idk if it's just me, but it bothers me when I'm driving and another car pulls up next to me (esp on the freeway/highway). Usually a car will pass me or I'll pass the car, but when that car pulls up on the side and just stays there for miles and miles, it starts to feel pretty creepy. Even if I speed up to pull away, that car does the same. I can slow down and that car does the same too. Weird. Weirdo driving that car.

*and no I didn't cut off that driver or drive erratically either, I'm just minding my own business*

TheSneakiness · 29-05-2013, 09:56 AM

Few from me this morning

- I hate when I rock up to the train station and my scheduled train has been cancelled making me late for work

- I hate when everyone lines up to cross the road on a footpath no wider than 700mm and I can't get past

-I hate when property managers come to me to say fix this and make me look good however the fix is they actually have to do it themselves.

i hate it when a storm takes out the power for only one city block for hours and hours and i'm in that block :{.

LG17 · 01-06-2013, 02:34 PM

I hate it as we have underground power but the damage is always miles away and we still lose it! :(

Raysie · 01-06-2013, 03:06 PM

Want it to start raining? Stuff learning how to do a rain dance....

Just wash your car.

jpblue1000 · 01-06-2013, 03:51 PM

I hate it when you write something on a Internet thread and it gets ignored, then 10 post later a forum regular says the same thing and everyone goes gaga over it. Brown nosing away.

I also hate when people don't read all posts and just add their opinion, one which was dismissed pages ago as irrelevant or useless.

I also hate that I still cant lick my elbow after training for the entire duration of this thread I still cant do It and I don't believe I'm any closer to managing it.

They'll get the message sooner or later and leave.

I hope that they don't read this forum. That would be awkward.

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

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.....

nah! wifes side, couldn't insult them with a 3x2......everyones got them.

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.....

Maka · 01-06-2013, 06:59 PM

I hate it when your travelling at the speed limit & someone pulls out on you when your only "***** it better pull up or there buggered distance" Happens up this way all the time doh!

cheers, Maka

STINKY NINJA · 01-06-2013, 07:17 PM

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*

That's gold!

I hate it when P players in their little ricers try to race me from the lights just because they can hear my ute's BOV.

K_Man · 02-06-2013, 09:57 AM

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 :(

Does every workplace have a person who always reminds people about leftovers?

Yeah, whatever.... I should be dead many times over lol...

Meh.... Just means an extra 30 seconds to kill the bugs...

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.

Totally! I'd also add people who use their weed wackers without a car. Some homeowners and landscapers stop when cars drive by and others don't give a rip. I can almost just hear little rocks being shot out from the weed wackers, flying and hitting whatever's in the way. Even cars. And windshields.

I change lanes if there's another lane and get as far away as I can. If I hear it "ping" against my car, argggh!!

When people selling their cars have already sold them and refuse to take their ad down,(imagines choking some lazy car seller out to a nice sleep)

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.

Sent an email yesterday to a realestate agent.... All of 1/2 a page in length.

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.
