Little things that annoy you....

There's a certain factory in Moorabbin that makes cancer sticks where several staff members use the term Vicky Verka.

Co-inky-dink. Nope, never heard that one.

Anyone who drives a 4 wheel drive and doesn't need one, which is most people who drive them.

How do you classify me then? - I drive a Toyota Kluger but its 2WD.
I bought it for the size and seating, I'm 6"3 and have 3 tall kids.
Its about that not going 4 wheel driving.
And I apologise if I'm in front of you - that used to *smile* me to tears also!

What about co-inky-dink? I like that but it could be because I associate it with a pretty attractive lass.

Both sound like Kath n Kimisms to moi.
 
On the theme of roads, i hate it when you drive down a narrow road or sidestreet and there is a car coming in the opposite direction but a car is parked on the side of the road and you both get to the parked car at the same time forcing one driver to stop[ to let the other car through.

I reckon the same applies to cyclists. No mater how little traffic there is, whenever you get behind a cyclist there's always a car coming the other way that stops you overtaking and you have to slow right down.
 
I'm annoyed from the ridiculous amount of telemarketing phone calls we've had in the last 3 days. I reckon we've averaged about 5 a day since Thursday!

Cyclists... could start a new thread on these flogs. I catch the tram to work... do u know how many times I've nearly been hit by them coz they don't stop when my tram arrives? Lost count. Its not a matter of if I get hit by one, but when

I drive and look out for them but there are some morons who stop between lanes at the traffic lights instead of to the left of the lane (near the kerb).

Cyclists who expect the rights of a car should obey the road rules, and a large number don't. I drive a route heavy with cyclists to work most days and it takes most of my concentration to avoid them. There is always some flog who appears out of nowhere doing some moronic thing, just expect the unexpected.

We used to drive station wagons back in the day. What happened to station wagons ?

I just assume that everyone driving one doesn't need one when I am on the road. Makes me feel better when I get annoyed at having no idea what is happening in front of me. ;D

I must be in outer space too, I 've never heard it.

I am in the outer reaches of a black hole, because not only have i never heard it, but if i did hear it, i would judge the conversationalist quite harshly. Did you hear the one about the muslim lady called Victoria who lost her Berka?
 
You go to a cafe for breakfast and they always serve you that half grilled tomato. I don't know anyone who actually eats them
 
NSW. when you drive to the pub to watch tiger essendon nab cup. One bloke in the lounge talking intently to his wife. You ask the barman if he can put the footy on and he changes it and the bloke in the lounge says, very snakily, 'I was watching the rugby'. Barman apologizes and puts the obscure rugby game back on and bloke goes back to talking with his wife. he might have seen 30 seconds of the game while he was in my veiw. :don't know

Fortunately, cool barman senses my desperation, anger and dissapointment and goes way above the call of duty to rig me up a custom screen in a backroom :clap
 
A pet hate of mine is people who sit in the right lane of freeways when not overtaking. But worse than them are those who tailgate, which is dangerous. Late yesterday afternoon I was overtaking in the right lane of the Monash, probably doing about 110. Out of nowhere this kid in an Audi is up my arse, must have been doing 140 at least. I can see his lips moving in the rearview mirror as he's cursing me so I drop it back to 105 and take my time switching back lanes. He roars past me but finds more traffic ahead (right lane Sunday drivers) and I end up behind him. I drove right up his arse just for a second before remembering not to be a *smile*. Finally an extra lane opens up and he's off, weaving through traffic.

A few minutes later I'm back in the left lane when I see police lights flashing on the side of the road up ahead. "Oh, please, please, please... YES! You beauty!" I toot my horn at the *smile* as I drive by. Justice served. Made my weekend.
