Little things that annoy you....

Spreading the debate around the boards hey mate.

Hullabaloo was always a believer in conspiracy, but never admitted it. He has instigated this conspiracy to make pick 6 Chad Wingard believe he's cursed, become a hypochondriac, lose form, get delisted, just so we can pick him up in the draft.
 
I'm on level 2 next to the corporates who attend the president's function and there are always opposition supporters there. There was one real feral dogs supporter in round 2 who just wouldn't shut up. You think you'd have a bit of common sense considering you're surrounded by thousands of tigers fans... it only takes 1 to react for trouble to start...

The lonely feral Bummer amongst us Tiger fans who yelled out like a lunatic during the 1995 SF in the Northern Stand springs to mind.

Imploded into his shell as the game went on.
 
i love the elderly and have many friends 75+ but...when you are in a rush, they can be SO SO bloody slow.
3 times today

1. at hospital-waited 10mins behind an old man while he took soooo long to answer questions and pay his outstanding $12 on his tablets or whatever.
then complained that he has to pay, then he only had $9...was going to give him $3 but stuff him.
then he tried to pay by card and couldnt remember his pin, then wanted the lady to write out his next appointment again because she wrote it too small the first time

2. the driving- not sure what the law is but i think 75+ should get tested yearly, nearly had two accidents today due to elderly driving.
3. coles - cashier i had 2 items, just got to the line a tad behind old lady who has a trolley all other registers full and do it yourself was down...she looks at me and is about to say go through BUT doesnt and takes 5 minutes to slllooowwwlllyyy put her *smile* on the belt and pay using fly buys/card/ etc that took her another minute to get out of purse...so thinking i need a drink tonight, walk 20 metres to liquorland where an old guy is complaining for 5mins about a wine cask leaking or some crap before i get served.

Add to this that they always seems to walk right in the middle of paths, making it difficult to go around them.
 
Now let's not pick on old people here. We're all going to be old one day, including me. How annoying!

Some of us already are.
And in my case, I take off me old geezers hat - put my walking frame in the boot - and go car racing. WoooooooooooHoooooooooo.
Ain't nuttin better than passing youngsters on P's.
 
Yep as Mick Jagger once sang: 'What a drag it is to get old'.

:eek:ld 57 years caught up with me fast but I still love a drink, watching the purdy little ladies go by and growing old disgracefully so I don't really give a rats clacker what some pimple faced young whipper snapper says.

Have patience grasshopper. :)
 
People who walk on their iPhone talking or texting and don't look where they are walking and if you don't avoid them you walk straight into them.

Most times I don't move and keep my line.

Not up to me to watch out for them.

Happens alot when people drive all over the road. Bound to be on the phone talking/texting.

9thplacetiger- another pet hate of mine is on flights too, when people just think of themselves and out their seat all the way back without a care in the world. How many times I've had run ins with these inconsiderate , selfish ####.

It's the zombie world we now live in. Have a look at them in 1 train carriage. Imagine the radiation around there.

You wouldn't like walking around in Hong Kong if you think Melbourne is bad....drove me insane. Change the word to umbrella and it's the same as well.
