They're a man's worst enemy. Fine if you have a purse or a manbag ;D but loose the change in my pockets just sh!ts me.
Sooner we're in a cashless economy the better IMO.

I know what you mean Oldie, I get a huge amount of the silver coins at times and just use it to buy a paper or mag at the newsagent (i.e. 12 x 20c coins.....bad look on the newsagent's face ;D). I won't use a credit card because I don't want keep feeding the Pig 4 with ridiculous interest.

idiots who go to a servo and dont drive through to the first bowser so the car behind them can follow through and use the next one in line.
happened to me yesterday, had to wait 5mins

Was the same fuel available at the first bowser? I use 95, and often it's not available at all bowsers. I agree though, if the fuel you want is available at the first bowser, go there.

You use the second bowser 'cos the first one's taken.
Then the first car finishes and drives off.
It now looks as though you've chosen to be rude and not drive to the first bowser.
Happens all the time.

agree to a point. but it is worth remembering not everyone has great literacy, some people have dyslexia or similar conditions, and some people dont have english as their 1st language.

being condescending toward people for poor spelling or grammar is probably not the right thing to do. (not suggesting you have been).

You need a few capitals there Brodders.

Could of instead of could have
Should of instead of should have
Etc etc.

Loose instead of lose. See it in ever increasing frequency often where there is an expectation the author is educated.

And my nieces say we are versing Carlton. When did that become acceptable usage of English.

When your kid, with a knee injury, gets referred to a surgeon and you call to make an appointment and they say "Yep. No problem. We've got an opening in January". I don't need someone in January. I need someone now.

People who stand two-abreast on travelators. Actually, anyone other than the elderly who stand on a travelator. Actually, pretty much all people at airports.

about 6 years ago I first noticed it when a friends kid asked me to verse him on Guitar Hero. Thought it was funny at first, now all the kids say it. I don't mind it although I'd never use it myself.

It's been more than 6 years. I noticed it in 1997 when I returned to secondary school teaching.

The work of the same entrepreneurs who reworked Easter, Xmas, Mothers' Day, Fathers' Day, the AFL Trade Week and the National Draft.

Cyclists who pedal their bike up the inside of cars at lights then move the bike in front of said vehicles. Feel like running them over.
