Things That Shit Me (Part 3)

[Shell]

Or stand in doorways at railway stations, then looked offended when you push past them.

Or people who stand in the right hand lane of escalators, god that shits me no end.

Same here. I wish we were more like London.. over there its a HUGE "no no" to push onto the tube before people have gotton off it. And also I think its the other way round, but people stand to the right on esculators- this is like set in stone. Lol, I learnt that the hard way when I first arrived there.

Haha, no shit! That's pissed me of in the past too

The only thing I can think of is maybe its for people who have just gotten home from work... and have fabulous lives and are about to go out again??? Who knows.. it must cost a fortune to run that stupid helicopter tho, lol.

Just try doing that on the escalators in the London underground. I made that mistake when I first got over there, I nearly started a riot.

LMAO... I didnt even see your post and I just pretty much just wrote the same thing.

Hehehe so you made the same mistake I did..

Can sound patronising at times, depending on the tone people use. Kind of like when people call you 'buddy' or 'champ', which makes you feel like you're a special needs kid.

buddy or champ s*** me to no end. mate i can deal with but champ sounds like something you'd call a kid

 

[crownie]

Fair enough.
I don't use it that often with actual friends but I use it a fair bit when at a shop and I get the change or the product and I'll say 'thanks mate'.

If you ever have a son you should definitely call him Jack!

Unfortunately I chose my username because of the hack that is Jordan Russell.

Only because our our 1st Round draft pick A. Walker already had plenty of usernames gone.

Maybe some Americans find being called a 'Yank' patronising. Now you know how it feels...

The term Yank is actually short for Yankee, which is what Southerners call Northerners in the US. In effect they call themselves Yanks so I doubt they would take too much offence at other people using that term. Probably no worse than them calling us Aussies.

If I were to be patronising or insulting to American's I'd probably call them Seppo's...as far as I am aware Yank is not patronising. It would depend on the situation and how its said I suppose.

I usually respond by calling them muscles or tiger when I feel like I'm being patronised.

Air conditioning breaking down in the heat

People who use the word 'epic' in the wrong context.

My mate joined a group on Facebook called 'Mangoes are epic.'

How is a piece of fruit epic at all?

 

[Ninty]

Epic fail?

 

[Cousin Jed]

Extra chewing gum in the 14 piece cardboard box thing.

2 days in this heat and every piece is basically just a piece of goo.

****ing ridiculous.

 

[PunyHumans!!!]

Opening a bag of wedges and finding three quarters of the wedges are no bigger than you thumb nail.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Cats.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

People who use emoticons for letters ,numbers and other stuff on MSN!

 

[lifelike_]

Journos using the words swelter and scorch.

Ergh.

As a frequent consumer of Extra (who always carries a packet in their pocket), this annoys me terribly.

Opening a bag of wedges and finding three quarters of the wedges are no bigger than you thumb nail.

Along with this, opening a bag of corn chips and finding that 3/4 of them are broken. Particularly annoying when you're making nachos.

One thing that has really begun to annoy me is when people stand there and take up the whole doorway when buying a ticket on the bus. There's enough space for two people, so stand to the left and let the people who have a multitrip (eg. me) walk past you. Alternately, I could just push past, but being tall (6'5") and a male, it'd just make me look like an aggressive jerk

Apparently anyone who does anything these days is a 'reveler', according to the media. Especially around NYE.
