(at the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man)
Getting served weak-ass coffee that tastes like milk warmed up after specifically ordering a strong one
Beer that is brewed at a certain brewery at Milton (how do you spell it again?)
Tequila (ever since my bux weekend)
Fast food that doesn’t look anything like the picture in the ad
Seafood (to all the seafood Nazis out there, not everyone has to like it so stop frickin’ trying to convert me)
People who can’t walk in a straight-line along busy city streets
People who play their iPod so loud the whole train carriage can hear it (Britney still sounds like shit from here)
People who talk in the middle of movies (why don’t you just wait for it to come out on DVD)
People with hotted-up cars that scream ‘look at me’ but then complain about getting the attention of the police
Shops that put the milk that is due to expire today at the front of the shelf
Bosses that get their old and new roles confused
Work colleagues who complain about being ‘soooo’ busy but then spend most of the day on the phone/internet/facebook, etc
Carlton, Essendon and Hawthorn supporters who bemoan it’s been ‘soooo’ long since their last premiership
New AFL teams trying to poach young talent away from clubs who are just starting to re-emerge
The current Australian cricket selectors (too many frickin’ examples to type them all out)
Listening to the barmy army signing “Take your fkn stars off our flag” (makes the skin crawl on this republican)
Rugby union referees who think the game is about them
Rugby league (for my father-in-law)
Listening to sportspeople talk about themselves in the third person (“Michael Clarke has to do the right thing by Michael Clarke”)
Any dealings with bank and telecommunications call centres (where all the uninterested and incompetent must go to work)
Prime Ministers and Premiers who get spooked by polls (if it’s not popular but is still the right thing to do, just do it)
Hypocritical Opposition Leaders (Tony, how can it be OK to have a levy to fund an election promise but not to help rebuild a State?)
Journalists using emotive language to slant a story rather than stating the facts (we were always taught to at least try and be seen as objective)
Media reports that merely repeat what’s said in a press release (believe me, this happens all too regularly)
Getting to the pool and realising you’ve forgotten your goggles
Mapping out a running route and then discovering it’s mostly closed due to recent flooding
Tradespeople saying they’ll be there between 8am-12pm and then turning up at 11:55am (to his credit, at least he turned up)
Neighbours who think the whole street wants to listen to them practicing their accordion
Off the top of my head anyway.
EDM.
