Things that p*** you off/bug you/annoy you

What pissing me off:
Raj's outdoor/garden space

Fully considering concreting my entire backyard and painting it green for grass.

LOL!!! Sorry mate... I'm just really having a lot of fun with it at the moment.

Automatic transmissions that are supposedly "sealed for life" and need no fluid changes. Seriously? How many on this forum, which principally attracts car enthusiasts, would service their engines regularly but leave the trans fluid untouched?

I've changed the trans oil on two cars each with "sealed" autos that had travelled over 100,000km. My daughter had purchased a brand new XC Barina in 2001 and typically, only carried out what the service schedule specified (and that was only after I pestered the **** out of her to even get the services done!) I bought the car from her at 105k and immediately gave it the once over, particularly the auto. The trans oil was pretty expensive, around $28 per litre in 2005, but when I dumped the old oil, it was as black as old sump oil. Must have been doing wonders for the auto.

Same with the last Captiva. 138k and I had it fully flushed and replaced by an auto trans specialist as I didn't have the tools to do the job. Again, black as tar.

Sealed for life? Yeah, as long as "life" doesn't mean any more than about five years.

Disclaimer: I may have already put the white lions on the top of the fence posts already...

That's a problem a fair few of the euro cars have. Sealed for life never touch it. Then people wonder why the gearbox is knackered at 150 000kms.

That thought had occurred to me too.

Lol....

Well at the auditions I didn't audition for anything major as I didn't want to be on stage. Was more than willing to do back stage/set building etc.

But.....as rehearsals went on and gaps in the cast appeared....I'm good friends with the director. wanted to help her out.

'do you want to be a tree'? oh alright
'do you want to be a tin man polisher' oh alright
'do you want to be a winky' 'as long as I'm not a ####ing flying monkey. I am absolutely drawing the line at that'. oh alright.....

Its opening night this friday, bit late to pull out now, am committed to it.
