People coming to the house and KNOCKING ON THE DOOR when its quite CLEAR that we have a DOORBELL. I've missed numerous deliveries (one this morning) and had a subtle go at many a pizza boy because of this.

What gives you the shits?

People that don't walk up/down esculators. For christ's sake do these people ever wonder why the esculator looks like moving stairs?
If you don't want to move take a lift!

Probably my no 1 hate: People who don't know how to "Keep Left Unless Overtaking" in 80km/hr + rds where its clearly marked.

- People who aimlessly dawdle around shopping centres and don't give two hoots about who they step in front of or hold up
- Wedgie's second point
- Shaving
- Looking forward to a couple of quiet relaxing beers only to get home and find someone has drunk them already
- My football club not having a gaming venue
- People that call you at home trying to get you to change telephone service providers or sell you a new credit card

Tailgaters and people who speed up when you try to change lanes or overtake :evil:
People trying to sell religion door to door :evil:
Telemarketers and Polsters on the phone :evil:
People who don't know how to queue, they sort of hang around in the general vicinity :evil:

How do you know that they didn't ring the doorbell if you missed the delivery?

Here's another thing that shits me:

Weather that's hot enough to keep the kids out of bed later than their normal 8.30pm bed time slot. This in its self isn't an issue but the fact that Dad loves a smoke with a beer and he hides it from his kids that he smokes and he has to wait till about 10pm for his first one is what shits me!!! :evil:

Pfft to normal black ants, its the white bastards you've got to worry about, I know!
Still have a live colony eating at my wall after spending about 5k on pest treatment and rebuilding of walls.
Hopefully all will be finished with soon though.

All- please note that it is not my company that is responsible... :wink: As to why my company didn't treat it, is one of life's great mysteries. Wedgie will be the first to admit that if he had his time again, I would be managing the problem... :wink:

Not sure its "one of life's great mysteries" when I've told you at least 3 times it was because I only had your old number and you never passed on your new number! :roll:
I would have agreed with your last sentence 2 days ago but not now, we'll see how it pans out but I could save $2600 if all goes according to plan.

Being a former resident up there, I know what you mean on this one GDB. The ones that are even worse than that are the ones who speed up to over the limit as soon as they see a straight bit of road, making it impossible to overtake them. Happens between Mt Barker and Maccy, Hahndorf and Echunga all the time.
