pet hate of mine too. Displays a total lack of perspective. It could be argued that god is on the side of the winner though. In the case of economic winners, god obviously like rich white people for example, even though poor brown people have greater religious conviction.
I applied for job that had a closing date the Friday before Christmas, I rang today as I hadnt heard anything. Because of public holidays and staff leave they havent shortlisted yet. Well why the efff put a closing dates before Christmas then? did they not realise there would be public holidays?? or that staff would go on leave over the 'holiday' period??

I know how you feel.
There's so much hypocrisy and corruption when it comes to recruitment protocol, especially from employment agencies.

I hate that crap. A mate of mine, tigers man, was on holidays in Pt Douglas, big family trip, planned for a while, gets a call from a mob specialising in his work, we want to interview you for this job. 'Can't it wait? Can't we do it on the phone?' he says, very diplomatic, He's very interested and a pro. 3 days to go on trip. No and no they say, we'll fly you down. Small kids devastated, dad to miss end of a great trip He flies down to Melb, plane delayed, taxi, home, shower, suit, taxi to interview, huge jam on Punt Road, walks to interview in St K rd, walks into interview spot on time and nails it. Hears nothing. Rings up, didn't get it, big boss appointed his mate.

7. People whos default setting is how thing CANT be done.
8. Female (sorry Rosy) Sydney Swans supporters who heckle my Richmond soul (i live in NSW)
9. L-platers driving on the Pacific hwy at their limit of 80km/hr during double demerit point periods (X-mas). I know they need experience but its like getting a first year med student to perform brain surgery on Trent Cotchin.

I nearly came a cropper with an L plater doing the right thing in NSW once. Came around a corner and had to slam on the breaks. Surely they need experience driving at the speed limit proper and it's probably only a few morons ruining it for everyone else....
Just my two cents...
Waiting at a crowded bar for a drink for ages, then someone sidles up next to you and when the man/lady behind the bar asks whose next the person beside shouts out their order, knowing full well I was there well before them. *smile* me no end.
Also, when giving way to oncoming traffic on a narrow street and they dont wave to acknowledge.
Common courtesy seems to have gone out the window with many.

One that *smile* me a bit is when I place the groceries at the supermarket's revolving checkout counter and the moron right behind me does the same by having their groceries move right behind mine.

Yeah rude as buggery. I will usually say something to the barman or the person, depending on my mood and the situation.
People who think little problems are big problems.
for example, i am having a bit of trouble getting my youngest to a new school on the bus (His old school had half a hill slide on it in the recent ex-cyclone Ozzy). Its a matter of his new bus getting him to school about 60 seconds too early. The Bus company rang me and said to me first thing "YOU have a BIG problem" (emphasis by bus bloke) and then he spelt out what I would rate as a VERY small logistical inconvenience that could be mutually overcome quite simply, given the right intent. The bus guy wasnt really listening to me, or in fact speaking the same language as me. It was obvious our brains saw the world in very different ways. In the end, after he reiterated how BIG MY problem was, I was forced to politely give him some examples of genuine BIG problems (from memory, I listed testicular cancer, civll war or being in public relations with the Essendon Football Club) . I dont think t really helped bridge our cognitive divide, but it made me feel good.
