View Full Version : Little things that p!ss us off

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?

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

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:

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!!).

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.

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. :D

8. The fact that if I filled the exhaust pipes of luxury 4WD's up with expanding foam spray in shopping centre carparks that it would be a bad thing ! I just don't get it.
Buy a luxury 4WD and I'll happily 'fix' it before it creates any more 'problems' in this world. I'd love someone to be able to justify one of those to me one day ... hmmmm.

Routing MDF :(
Freaking dust gets everwhere.
10 minutes routing, 30 minutes cleaning up the dust. :(

My H.P. Designjet 130 printer.
It cost almost 4 grand and is a real love-hate machine.
It can take forever just to get it to accept a sheet of paper.
And if it spits the paper out it takes a long while to go through the whole confounded process all over again and it might spit it out again.
The upper infeed table has a different alignment position to the lower infeed tray so the edges of pictures alter depending on where you insert the paper.
Its too sensitive to paper sizes.
It doesnt like the slightest curve in a piece of paper
It rattles and shakes and takes forever to get going.
If it was a standard size printer I'd beat ***** outa it with a hammer. :mad: :mad:
Pity H.P released a very buggy product. :( :(
But when it does finally print out a picture - magnificent. :) :) :)

People who aren't sure if their car is working properly and have to rev it for hours on end on a Saturday morning. And the fact that they don't believe me when I tell them that it is working and they can safely turn it off.

mmmmmm....... time to vent a bit more slpleen.... BEAUTY!
Cats and the morons who let the damned things outside!
Dust on my telescopic sights that spoils my aim when shooting cats!
The racket cats make when you shoot 'em..... and that dingling from their bells as they thrash themselves to a bloody end......
Dogs that won't kill cats! What possible use are they?
Don't mind dogs that chase sheep as they are bigger and slower moving than cats... easier to shoot or run over with the ute!
Bloody stumps that hide in the long grass when you're out dog or cat shooting in the ute!
Tanneries that quibble about tanning cat and dog skins to make new seat covers for the ute!
Blood and guts stuck in the wheel arches.... and the people who complain about its' smell....
Stupid old ladies who squeal and carry on cos you've got their little tiddles hangin' on the roobar.....
CATS!

Nice one Christopha :) Lucky we don't let our cats outside ... ever !
What's your actual gripe with them anyway ... afraid they might be more intelligent than you think ?
I bet you got off on those loser Sydney kids running over that kitten on the news earlier in the year to then leave it for dead (well, nearly dead) on the railway tracks ... or maybe even the AJ's (yes, the AJ's we pay for out of our taxes) who got busted for animal cruelty in a similar incident.
I can now safely add another 'hate' of mine to the list :
9. Hicks with guns
Have another 'Bundy' mate, the world needs you.

Bundy? Can't stand the crap! A fine red for me... I would think you prefer sipping pink gin or Chardy dear....
The ONLY things my guns come out for are feral cats, feral dogs and feral birds like mynahs. If your cats are kept inside then you are a VERY rare cat owner. I don't hate cats because they are 'cats', I hate what people let them do. Imagine my chardy sipping friend how unpleasant it is to shoot an animal that wants to sit on your lap and purr but if you don't it is going to kill as many of the birds, small animals and reptiles in your environment that it can! People who DON'T hate cats and what they do are becoming an endangered species themselves. I never actually condone cruelty except perhaps to lackwits like you.... and what the hell is an "AJ"... :rolleyes:
Steveanbelle you seem to be a little bit slow on the uptake if you can't 'read' the tongue in the cheek of my cat post..... :p

Have to say I'm with you SteveandBelle on this one. Here's another one for the list:

Come on fella's, step back, take a few deep breaths and have a look at the big picture. No need to go jumping down peoples throats, especially newbies. Over the last few week's I have noticed a lot of acidic and stinging response's.
