Of course, there are big things, that upset all of us. But I'm sure that we all have little things that everyone else thinks are inconsequential, but really give us the irrits.
For example, it really p!sses me off that a big hardware chain puts a barcode sticker on the back of each sheet of abrasive, especially as the same code is printed on the back of the sheet. Then I have to attack the sticker with eucalyptus oil to get the little sod off.
What gives you the irrits?
Flying Jetstar.
P :D
Same "B" little stickers on all the gutter brackets, joist hangers, etc which have to be removed before painting.
These little things have a bast..d glue and break up into little pieces instead of peeling. (security, I know)
I also love the way they stick them onto pieces of timber, always on the best side. :mad:
Those fr***in stickers they put on apples.
Numbskulls who don't indicate when turning left at roundabouts
and D**kheads who undermine driveways to put cables through and don't backfill so the next time Squizz turns up in the truck the driveway collapses.....:mad: .
Feel better already
(losing your wallet or mobile phone is a right pain the butski)
Hmmnn running out of beer is a bummer.
I could go on...
Bought a brand new car in Townsville once and didn't get ten clicks down the road before a truck carrying blue metal decided to unload some onto the windscreen.....
Ok I'll go now
Work
being poor
kids not listening
irrational laws
people driving in a hurry
Clients changing development layouts after design finished
Not being able to turn beads very well
inflatable pools
tools getting blunt
work
not getting paid enough
owing the bank money for my house
the fact that my littlest girl is so adorable, I cant stay angry with her when she's naughty (which is most of the time)
Being Wall-eyed and half deaf (One working ear)
work

Its not just wood/hardware stores that do this - I have several expen$ive reference books that have mucking great thick security tags stuck with permanent glue into them - warped the covers & marked several pages too.
Strangely I now buy most of my books from Internet dealers like Amazon now, as they don't mutilate the goods before you get them. And I buy my timber from the local timber yard - plug: North Shore Timber - who at least pay their staff enough to recognize a 2x4 without a bar code. :cool:
Having to put up the HWMBO ranting and raving about losing something that "But I only had it 5 Minutes ago".Him leaving in a puff of smoke from his car only to find the object a hour later exactly where HE left it.
What i hate is how my SWMBO allways squeeze's the tooth paste tube in the middle, when I go to use its all screwed up "roll the end dear I say" but no not ever!
Then the other day I goes out to me little runnabout car and find she's ripped the leather on the drivers seat with a zipper on her bloody trendy pants, distinctly after telling SWMBO not to wear anything metal on her pants while driving my car!
But I still love her,wouldnt swap her for anything(sometimes!!).
I hate people who complain about little annoyances.
Grass is greener attitudes....oh and ants (particularly greenants,jumpers & bullants) :( they really pess me orf
Customers who think they are right when I know damn well I am!
People who wander all over the bike track. Keep left, dammit!!
People who walk out of shops onto the footpath without looking both ways.
Eddie Maguire.
People who chew with their mouths open.
Finding a spider or something in the bottom of my cup after drinking all the coffee.

I get annoyed at Australias introduced species - destructive bastards, especially the humans.
Actually I hate everyone :eek: , but I don't mind :)
Darryl Sommers!!!! :mad: :mad:
Well, I'm not annoyed by anything. I'm just serene and sweet and ******* calm and ******* un-*******-likely to get ******* worked ******* up about any-*******-thing.
So there.

My pet hate is low slung signs in stores, I hate having to duck and weave between advertising signs, big sale times are the worst.
Actually, with the direction we are headed, Australia is more likely to merge with the Eurasian continent in the next few million years. So we should be OK for awhile until North America comes charging across and rams western Europe/Africa in about 10 million years or so.Quote:

It won't happen. A mate and me took a tinny out last weekend and hooked a squid jag into the Antarctic ice mass. We tied the other end of the line onto the end of the Glenelg jetty here in Adelaide. That's top quality, home brand, 10 lb breaking strain line we used there. It'll never break. :DQuote:

people who drive too slow, in fact ALL other drivers
my neighbours when they generate noise late at night or early in the morning.
feral animals.
indian myna birds!!!!!!
vacuuming the house.
The noise of lawn mowers especially 2 stroke types.
The whining never ending noise of vacuum cleaners.
When you tell non woodworkers you are into woodwork and they automatically assume you are into turning!!!!!!! Nothing against turners but hey there are other forms of woodwork.
Eddie MacGuire :mad:
Sam Newman :mad:
AFL news as the headline news everynight :mad:
Anyone who bags Queensland :mad:
The fact that I can't afford all the tools I want right now :mad:
Having to wait to save for the next tool I want :mad:
Clients who take ages to pay :mad:

Drivers dropping off or picking up kids from school. Man, how there aren't more accidents is beyond me. The traffic outside most schools morning and afternoon is absolute pandemonium!
EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
serously though, One of my biggest hates in the world is when people open a brand new tub of butter, and instead of peeling off all the alloy film they cut a small hole in it and peel back a tiny bit of it! How hard is it to peel all the film off????????????
another thing, having to get up when i'm busy to answer the phone just to see the word "UNAVALIABLE" on the caller ID and know that it is some foreigner trying to save me 40 fu**ing percent off my phone calls! If i want to save on my phone calls then I'll bloody well call them!
now i'm on a roll, what else annoys me, ohhh this one is good, ex tv stars that go into politics or decide to voice their opinion publicly about world events!!!! now come on, everyone has to agree with me on that one! Like I give a flying ****** about what some washed up actor has to say about some starving children!
People that cut you off and then drive really slow!!!!
Ohhh i could go on for hours, but If I keep it up I'll probably offend someone.
Nik.
What about the wankers that stand in shop doorways ?...........Get me the "shotty"
Drivers who stop in the inside lane to go into the shop or something and think it's o.k. 'cause they've turned their bloody hazard lights on.
Even worse, wankers that stand in front of the ticket dispenser at the deli section in a supermarket...
not that the ticket system works anyway.

Peter.
Truckies who pull out in front of you on the Hume when you're coming up behind them at 140 clicks and then sit in the right hand lane playing neck-and-neck with another truck or a caravan.
Ray Martin.
Turning on Rage, Video Hits, etc. and all they play is that black American rap *****.
The fact that they call that black American rap ***** R&B. They don't know what R&B is!! Ever heard of BB King, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, John Lee Hooker, Sam and Dave? Morons!!!
Are you in a hurry to get home to listen to your neighbours being noisy and to do the vacuuming?Quote:
