Things That Shit Me (Part 3)

[Shell]

People who drop chewing gum on the ****ing ground, instead of doing the oh-so hard task of putting it in the ****ing bin.

(I stepped in bright bule bubble gum this afternoon... was actually quite impressive it stretched for well over a metre...)

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Bring your own then.

Then I would be posting 'having to bring my own bags to shopping centres in this thread'.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

People changing the pronounciation of their names. It was always Kim Cl-y-sters. Now for whatever reason its Kim Cl-ay-sters. Little things get me like this...

Nah, just say it how it's spelt* - Kim Cli-js-ters. Awkward, but so are differing pronounciations

*I've had so many people mess up my own apparently difficult surname over the years to the point where "just say it how it's spelt" becomes an automatic response for me.

With the bag thing, I've obviously been aware of it (it has been well advertised), but it just makes spontaneous shopping difficult and awkward, particularly if you buy multiple items and/or later want to look in other shops that sell similar items.

My slow internet connection.

Early flights.

Early flights.

but they ARE cheap

 

[PunyHumans!!!]

Parents who don't discipline their children when they are in the wrong.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Office "colleagues" who can't clean up after themselves. Leaving the kitchen in a mess, filling fridges with food that goes off, never wiping down tables after they spill food, and it also extends to the bathrooms too. People are just lazy and inconsiderate of others...........

 

[wazzabp]

Casual shorts with those mesh type fabric pockets.
Keys get caught in them and then they jab your legs when you sit down, and they rip easily.

 

[WALL-e]

People with no awareness.

oh, if people don't say thank you, or even acknowledge you when you open a door for them should be shot.

 

[Zarrix]

An example of a Phone/msn conversation

Me: Hey (name), how are you this evening?
Person: Good
Me:So, been doing anything interesting lately?
Person: Nah
Me: Looking forward to your holiday?
Person: Yeah
Me: Then it's back to work again,fun indeed.
Person: Sure is.

Hasn't it been common knowledge that Target charge for bags for some time now...unless I am mistaken? Just curious.

since the start of June from memory ? I'm actually surprised that they still have some elements of signage about it around the store. Don't really notice it at the registers, but they've got notices of it still taped to the security alarm device at the front entrance.

**Then again people like me, who shop @ Target once in a blue moon would probably forget about the 10c per bag charge and flip out.... so it's there for a reason.

Borders started charging 10c for their standard bag a long time before Target, as i don't shop there as regularly as i used to... i had to ask them recently if they still charged 10c (or if it had gone up in price) - but it was still 10c.

I'm 50/50 on it myself, again it depends on what i am buying. If it's just a game or two i'll happily walk around without a bag, anything larger than a book i'll request a bag. I can be an arseh*le sometimes and request a bag regardless of size or how many things i've purchased .

A shooting would be a bit harsh but some courtesy would be nice.

I was on the bus today, and a single father (who wasn't a bogan type, either) let his little girl (under 5 years old at a guess) do one of those top-of-the-lungs screaming cries for 5 straight minutes without doing much more than looking at her Tell the kid to bloody well shut up!

 

[Hard Ball Get]

It shits me when people get a cold and they say they have the flu.

If you had the flu you would be extrmely sick and stuck in bed!

 

[PunyHumans!!!]

Maybe they are just super tough?

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Maybe they are just super tough?

No.

People get the sniffles and say 'I have the flu'. The flu involves muscle pains, severe head aches and cold chills. When extreme it can lead to pneumonia and death.

Mainly shits me because my mum works in vaccination for those sort of things.

 

[PunyHumans!!!]

I do agree, people tend to overstate things like colds been more than they are.

 

[daynestatts]

People's point blank refusal to indicate when changing lanes

 

[Shell]

Putting doonas into doona covers. Hate it hate it HATE it.

People's point blank refusal to indicate when changing lanes

Idiotic. Has happened to me a couple times (I am going from the left to the middle, while someone else is coming from the right to the middle)... absolute morons, I see it all the time. Do people have any idea how dangerous it is to move from lane to lane without indicators??

Anyway to cut a long story short, a collision was avoided because luckily someone (me) was paying attention..

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Putting doonas into doona covers. Hate it hate it HATE it.

Lmao, why didn't I think of this. Don't you love when some of the doona is bunched up inside the cover or when it feels like the doona has 5 corners but the cover only has 4 lol.

"I NEED 5 MORE NEIGHBOURS ON FARMVILLE!!!!!!!"

I do NOT care!

Yes. Yes I do.


I bought a new one today, so of course had to go thru the ordeal of putting it on.... suppose it wasnt THAT bad.. I've had worse, where I've ended up punching the doona... then tearing extra holes in it, so I could get to the doona.

 

[Ninty]

You really have that much trouble? It's not that hard... Chuck the doona in, find the corners, flap it up and down... Easy.
