Was called to a meeting with the Council scheduled for 9:30am till midday today.
I was there - no-one else turned up including the senior council officer who called the meeting!
What a waste of time! :(

Oh that reminds me'....that's another thing I hate!

The last time I went in, I got a bag with some hash browns, put it on my passenger seat & drove off. 10 min's later I realized there was maple syrup on the bottom of the bag! "How is that even possible guy's" was the managers response when scolding the staff & shelling out dosh for some car detailing expenses.

well I guess you could always do do this...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF0IhyAasWw

wonder what she was on???

Yep found this out on the weekend. Hired a removal co to shift some office furniture from single story office to new double story office. Outlined every item to be moved prior to approving the quote. Got a $330 quote. Paid deposit. Guys rock up on the day a bit out of it due to heavy night on the plonk beforehand. Realize there is more than they were told, swearing and cursing due to the steps and the amount of lifting required. Spend more than was allowed for and they demand another $150 on top of their original quote for the hassle. Someone hadn't read the items to be relocated properly and under quoted. Not my fault but these clowns weren't going till they got paid so had no choice but to pay.

I was recommended these jokers by a mate and they give me the big shafting. Find out that they charge from when they leave home to when job was over. It also included a 15min smoko which I knew nothing of and yet paid for.

STINKY NINJA · 03-09-2013, 07:32 PM

Yeah that sucks,sometimes these things happen so we learn never to go there again,its all character building though,thats what they tell me

I also hate when people assume,assuming makes an *** out of "u and me"
Also dont beat around the bush and twist peoples words,i really hate that!
Ahh i feel so much better now

Bearman · 12-09-2013, 11:00 AM

My pet hate at the moment is the latest Budget Direct Insurance ads with the space man accosting his neighbour.

The previous campaign with the know-all lecturing old fart with his age inappropriate girlfriend complete with bad French accent was bad enough but these latest ones just make me want to throw something at the TV.

Bearman · 12-09-2013, 11:04 AM

I also seriously hate the Youi Insurance ads narrated by the little preachy guy with the huge head. A "typical Aussie suburban street" I think not with all those very expensive looking houses and Euro SUV's everywhere.

AGREE 100% I hate it when they do this it stuffs up your routine when looking for stuff.

**MercurySilver** · 12-09-2013, 12:47 PM

when it takes telstra from nov 2012 to sept 2013 to dig a trench for maybe 20 meters lay some cable and hook up a ******* cable/wire into a pit

unreal

and when it was done it took all of........about 7 hrs

they are absolutely useless

rog xc · 13-09-2013, 11:19 AM

When you put an offer on a house, the realo pushes you to offer more (and you do) the offer is accepted (woo hoo) then rescinded 8 hours later

**hawkgirl** · 14-09-2013, 09:17 PM

spending 5 days in hospital and being sent home with the same syptoms you went in with, because the stupid surgical team cant be bothered doing tests.

**MercurySilver** · 15-09-2013, 12:03 PM

When Sandown is about to start and u have to go out for around three or so hrs.
Not happy.

Yellow_Festiva · 15-09-2013, 01:51 PM

Shoppers who walk around with their trolley full of stuff, get close to the register, or to some other random aisle and decide they no longer want that 3l bottle of milk, frozen dinner or tub of yoghurt and just leave it on the floor or hide it on a shelf because returning it to the fridge would be hard....

While working at Coles we would toss out $200 worth of room temp foods each night that we would find randomly strewn throughout the store during clean up....

You can add phone apps to that list. The domain.com.au and the realestate.com.au app was great to use till they did an 'update' and totally stuffed up the user interface.... removed both apps and don't bother.

Their recent feedback makes for some interesting reading... I wonder if the developers for the Domain app have worked out why there are more 1 star ratings than 5 star ratings yet?????

Addz08 · 15-09-2013, 03:18 PM

I HATE the ad on telly for the Goldcoast 600, because of that stupid Party Bass song, the ad gets a flogging something fierce!!!

What, are you an employee or the shareholder?
At least your doing a good job & readying the store for the next day's chaos!

Spurious · 15-09-2013, 08:36 PM

Harvey norman adds. Anyone would think we're in a night club!

Also, I hate when your "old school" stick welding. Ya' flip the lense up to ready for the next run, get the rod right next to what your gonna weld & ZAAAP! You make contact before ya' drop the lense.

I hate when you unwrap a piece of chewing gum, then you almost put the wrapper in your mouth & nearly throw the gum in the bin!

I also hate when you sneeze while chewing gum & it flies out of ya' gob!

**MercurySilver** · 16-09-2013, 10:49 AM

when you email two places, one being your local ford service centre, the other a performance specialist for a service and some advice and get no reply since last thursday

when you wait from nov 12 to sept 13 to get your phone line dug to the pit with telstra not showing 8 times to do it after ringing and making dates with them, and them not ringing back....to the stage of finally getting it done over two days and now they keep ringing twice a week (diff people each time) to book a time to get the digging done
how on earth do these muppets make millions of dollars??

Spurious · 17-09-2013, 08:20 PM

I hate when I ring a property managers office, their busy so you leave a message for a call back.....& you wait 5 days for a reply....& still waiting! WTH

Matty4 · 20-10-2013, 08:12 PM

Going to Bunnings with a trailer to buy sheets of building materials and finding all the spots within the drive through yard taken by utes and small hatchbacks who's owners can't be found at all, so you park them in whilst you load your trailer, only to cop a spray from the hatchback owner when they return from the café and they put one 2.4M length of timber in the car................WTF??

Surely they can carry it out into the regular carpark?

NickyN · 20-10-2013, 09:05 PM

Having an office potluck and asking for the recipe for a dish because it's just so yummy, only to be told "it's a secret" or "I don't share my recipes." Ok then, fine. But then the same person has a fit when I (and others) don't share recipes with that person. Fair's fair, right?

Yellow_Festiva · 20-10-2013, 09:28 PM

Was going to revive this tomorrow but may as well do it now ;)

Made several observations on my trip to Korea and Japan...

* People who have a degree in winging about anything when it isn't needed. I stayed at a hostel in Osaka, and read up on some of the reviews:
"Booked this place at the last minute, had the cheapest dorm in town but will only rate this place 2 stars out of 5 because the person at the front desk left me waiting 3 minutes" or "I had to wait 5 minutes for the shared shower and the water wasn't hot enough". Now, I have probably stayed in 50 hostels thus far and you get what you pay for... some tool knocked my Favourite hotel in Seoul because the steps were uneven.... Get over it...

* The fact that we still need to vote using century old technology...

* Finding my 'oversize' boxes at the other end of the terminal after waiting 45 minutes staring at an almost empty carousel waiting for them to emerge. Oh, they were checked in as regular baggage, were the same size as my other bag and half the weight... What fool decides they are 'oversize / excess'? Nice and safe, sitting on the floor with people walking around them...

* The fact that no body bothers to actually check your bags for correct ownership as you exit the airport. You have bark / feathers / food they will call the feds and put you away for life... would it hurt to check the stickers against your boarding pass during the same process??? In Pakistan you cannot leave the terminal until you match the sticker on your bag to the one on your boarding pass... oh, they check it TWICE...

* People that just don't read stuff. Send an email to someone to make an appointment "I'm only free W, X and Y afternoon after 3pm due to work commitments." and they reply, "Hey, don't suppose you are free Z morning at 9:30am?"...

Feel better now....

NickyN · 20-10-2013, 09:36 PM

Grrr..............never fails, there's always someone who doesn't read the entire email and then asks questions that I already addressed. Especially available meeting times. Grrr..............details, people, details are important.

Thanks, Yellow Festiva, glad to know I'm not the only one.

H.G · 20-10-2013, 09:51 PM

Broken condoms.

NickyN · 20-10-2013, 09:53 PM

Oopsie.........sorry to hear that.

I get this a lot when smsing sellers on Gumtree, nobody reads the entire sms and it drives me insane, HOW can people miss half an sms!! So i have to repeat myself asking the same questions... sigh. Thats why i prefer to call...but that isnt always convenient!

NickyN · 21-10-2013, 02:18 PM

Yay, it happens to The Interceptor too!

I mean, how RUDE, right?

Went to eat at Chili's and our waitress wasn't very pleasant to start with. When I asked if I could have the cilantro pesto sauce on the side of my dish and I didn't hear her acknowledge my request, I asked again, "excuse me, would I be able to have the cilantro pesto sauce on the side?" That's nice, right I asked nicely. What does she say to me? "I heard you the first time."

Ooooooh, ok. After that I wasn't sure what to say so I didn't say anything. After she left my bestie and my bff said, "you should have said something." Then I wondered if I should have. I guess - woulda coulda shoulda......after the fact aka Monday Morning Quarterback thoughts.

Oh well, it is what it is, I wasn't about to let her ruin my fun lunch with my bestie. Lunch was good!

When ashing out a cigarette and the ash lands on my skin instead of in the ash tray.
Geez! I hate that! Almost as bad as when I lit myself on fire... but not really.
