Handing over your eftpos card and the operator uses paypass without asking. :veryupset

I hate it how they always ask you for a receipt. I'd never purchase anything without one.

I dont understand how that annoys you so much. Your still paying for it either way, the transaction takes a few more days to process, and there are no extra fees.

I hate it when they put it on credit automatically. It means I have to remember to transfer money from the cheque acct when I wanted it taken from there in the first place.

I guess its different for standard credit cards, I've never owned one. But for a debit mastercard/visa, it just uses the funds from your account, so theres no difference at the end of the day.

Fair enough though.

People ringing me from a random mobile number and claiming they are from some market research firm, *smile* off scammers!!

Yeah, mine is a standard one so it goes on my credit card not out of my savings account

The craziness around this time of the year. Why can't we have a week in August to catch up with the people you only see once a year (like the inlaws >) instead of doing it at the time when work and school and life in general is so damn busy.

here here. Xmas and January is peak time for me. in 21 years with Aust Post, I have only had this time of the year off once. i wish our peak period was a couple of months earlier so I can get more time to relax when the weather is nice. :frustration

Wouldn't that just spread out the misery?

Urban dog owners who treat their dogs like delicate human cancer patients. I grew up in the country where nothing is wasted, both my grandparents lived in the bush and had dogs, my grandfather bred champion kelpies. They ate all the food scraps, except some that went to the chooks, as well as rabbits and roo and whatever meat. I have neighbours with dogs, I've tried giving bones to them, raw and cooked, (my pops dogs and ours would crunch up any bone that got within koo wee of), they recoil as if I'm trying to throw acid on them. Some lifestyle TV vet told them a dog choked on a bone once apparently. Pathetic nanny state bulldust, since when can you not give a bloody bone to a bloody dog?

Ive always been told cooked bones splinter and can choke though?

I certainly give my dog raw bones.

Gee life's a bit short to get so het up about how others treat their dogs isn't it? I don't think of our dogs as "bloody dogs". Far from it. I don't feed them cooked bones because I've seen the damage that can be done when they splinter and tear the intestines. I've fed dogs cooked bones heaps in the past and never had a problem but plenty do. I see no reason to risk it. Nothing to do with nanny state. They are given raw bones and food scraps. I'm not sure I'd particularly want my neighbour providing food for them when we have enough scraps here for them. I welcome their scraps for the chooks though.

The post was half in jest. Its a comment on how people seem to be precious about everything now because the is an 8 billion to 1 chance that something bad will happen. Dogs eating bones, kids walking to school, etc etc etc. Besides, the thread is entitled 'little things that annoy you.

I was at a friend place a couple of weeks ago for a Barbie and the host had a staffie, he wanted my T-bone and I asked his owner Bob, 'do you mind if I give him the bone?', he looked at me as if I was from another planet and said 'of course you can give him a bloody bone, what are ya?' I could have kissed him.

I've found someone to give my bones to now, she lives a few blocks away and rescues greyhounds. She can't get enough.
