Irish road problems. In general way more polite than Melbourne drivers but just no clue what to do at a roundabout. Don't indicate, don't give way. And don't get me started on the arseholes who designed them over here! Right turn from left lane indicated in road markings on 'some' roundabouts so they go and do it at all of them! 
pullhair arrrrggghhhh, why do this? They're already confused about how to handle them and you go and paint a right turn arrow on the left lane, or put a stop light on the exit! Or open out to 2 lanes on the entrance to a 1 lane roundabout arrrrggghhhh!!!! ullhair)

Queenslanders who start dressing like its St Petersburg in December when the temperature plummets to 21 degrees.

Sydneyites who start dressing like its The Aquarius festival, albeit with higher quality linen, as soon as they get off the plane at Ballina.
The Americas cup. Just watched the highlights, thought it was the aquatic tour de France, bunch of blokes cycling inside a hovercraft space-boat. Dumb passtime for the super-rich.

Glad you had a nice holiday.
I dont think theres a decent hippy within 25km of Byron these days.
Heaps of blokes who will claim if you stick amethyst up your arse, sun will shine out of it, but.
Theres this one bloke who has made squillions (this is true), who reckons if hot women let him rub his patented cream on their nipples, they will understand all universal truths.

had a pretty annoying interaction with a mobile coffee vendor yesterday I need to get off my chest.
"flat white, no sugar, no lid"
"um, sorry the law says I have to give you a lid"
"um, im paying and theres more plastic than fish in the sea. NO LID"
"I could lose my job if a child gets scalded"
"I think its pretty unlikely a child will be burnt. I usually hold onto my coffee pretty tight. Besides, if you do your job right, it should be no hotter than the hot tap in the shower"
lady puts a lid on my coffee
"you can take it off"
"um, will you wash it and reuse it?"
"I cant, thats against the law"
by now im begining to feel my composure crumble a bit
"how about you keep the nice safe legal coffee and I'll go find some anarchist barista with a background in customer service?. I hope you have a good day, and your tuna mornay has more tuna than micro particles of coffee lid in it"

i'm sure I have mentioned this before, but teams that are forced by the AFL to wear white shorts despite being the home team. In virtually every other sport in the world the home team gets to wear whatever they like and the away team has to compensate. Why should footy be any different? Its gotten to the stage where North Melbourne has had to completely alter their uniform so they can wear their blue shorts at home games.

Agree Rosy, and speaking of roads what about the '40km/h Road Work Ahead' signs. The more you drive and look around, the more you see no-one, unless the witches hats are the workers...

It was a she, but yes.
people break laws every day, knowing the law is absurd, and the probability of repercussions are so close to zero as to effectively be zero.
have you ever dashed into a shop without locking your car? outlaw. its illegal not to lock your car.
the fact about us being close to having more plastic in the ocean than fish isnt hyperbole. thats real.
