Dude in the next office to mine does it all the time, I often just walk in and when there's a pause I'll ask him how his rash is going or tell him that it's his shout.

We have rep who we suspect has Aspergers, who kept an old Nokia until last year because the new phones produced too much radiation. He was pretty much choosing a plutonium brick over the newer phone/

Now he has a Galaxy, and refuses to get a case for it. It was cracked within days of taking it out of the box.

And every phone call he takes is on speaker. We hear his personal calls from the wife, we've heard customers rip him to shreds, and more.

People who get in the right hand lane at Holbrooks Rd or East Ave that want to progress onto East Ave or Holbrooks Rd at the Grange Rd intersection. Absolute scum who don't deserve to be a part of society.

Ah I remember this when I used to travel through this...either queue up on the left lane or run the gauntlet in the right lane hoping for a small gap to squeeze into as you come around the corner...

Ha, I witnessed this for the first time yesterday and thought the same thing heading towards Flinders Park, how rude, my son and I were laughing at how long the line up was all to the left on Holbrooks Road as we drove the other way.
Heading home wasn't much better so I thought I'd just stay in the right lane and try a few back roads to get back on to Port Road, to my luck, as I got to the lights they turned amber and the car next to me stopped so I was able to just go across and shimmy on to East Avenue.
Arrogant drivers shit me to tears.

Employees who think they can dictate terms.

Employees who cry about a lack of hours, but then suggest we have extra people for backup, then cry when someone teams up with them, as per terms of contract, which haven't changed in years....Make up your bloody mind.........

What gives me the sh1ts more about traffic, is when someone indicates to come into the lane you are in and starts to merge before you've had time to see them, so you slow down and let them in thinking they are turning soon, but sit in that lane for the entire length of south f..king road. Why was it so urgent to come in 10kms up the road?

And invariably don't wave thanks for letting them in...

Better still, I had one last week give me the bird when they got in the turning lane to turn left, they would've hit my car if I didn't beep and slow down.

I won't go into what happened next.

Having to go through that intersection a couple of times a day I get great pleasure in cutting off cars that try to sneak over into my lane. It's always hilarious to see the look on their faces when they are forced to head up Grange Road[emoji3]

i dont get where this whole thing came from, but so many people seem to think that just because they have their indicator on, it gives them right of way to move over. ive been abused before when someone from a stationary lane, pulled into our lane (which was still moving), cut us off, and then proceeded to abuse us because "i had my indicator on, you have to give way"...... effwits will be sadly disappointed when they get hit and the insurance company reems them (looking at their vehicle, i highly doubt they were insured.....)

Absolutely, I'm a letterinerer as long as they've made their intentions early and give me my complimentary small wave of acknowledgement upon completion of their transaction, otherwise their car is blacklisted forever and I will go out of my way to block them in if the opportunity arises in the future.

yep, im pretty laid back usually (now. when i was younger, less so) and am happy to let others in, but you can usually tell by the driving language that they are a considerate driver. indicator on, checking etc before they start to move. but then you get the odd "entitled" driver that starts moving and expects everyone else to get our of their way..... i really need to get that steel front bar on the Jeep.....

Good work Jim, being someone that has to go up Grange Rd and get inconvenienced by these arseholes that can't read the sign and think they're more important than the rest of the world I commend you.

On a slightly different note unlike most I don't care about being called racist why can't Asians and Africans drive?

That's how they drive in their country though(Asia and Africa are both continents but you get my point).
