what pisses me off? aside from drivers?
I bought an LSD diff off another commodore forum, paid for it, and a month later nothing's arrived. brought it to the attention of mods/admin and got "we've urged him to contact you" and that's it. ****'em. assholes

another... few months back, some chick called me at work telling me I was a fraud :realangry anyway, apparently I'd sold her something on evilbay and had pocketed the money. wouldn't listen to me when I told her I'd never sold anything on ebay and she was full of ****... left work after being there 2 1/2 hours and sorted it out, cops agreed that the paper trail led to me and I should pay her back. but they did look into how this chick got my details... she lost her job and led to an inquest into gov't employees using confidential info to track people, usually neighbours or ex-spouses.

another I forgot about... credit cards.... A few years back I applied for a "buyer's edge" card through GE. got rejected, but they gave me an application form for a GE credit card...

few weeks back I applied for a "citibank BP credit card" over the internet. got rejected... but got an application for a citibank mastercard. rrriiigghhhhttttt

What grinds my gears is some peoples holier than thou attitudes ruining what should be a little fun on internet forums

Every bloody forum seems to have smarta$$ members who expect to have everything they post taken as gospel and who seem to know everything and have done everything

Holy crap! So were you the one who started that whole privacy crackdown at centrelink? If that's what it was, then much respect man, I gained a lot of pleasure from watching those bastards scramble to cover their collective arse. :yeah:

ive had some good experiances from egay, and like 1 bad which was sorted out...

what pisses me off is IDIOTS that cant drive backing into my car.... due to where i live (my parents take the garage as they pay the rent) now if i park in the driveway i have to get up at 6 am mon-fri and move my car for them

so i park on the street as im up at some unusual hours and cant be up at 6am every weekday

so i park on the street... theres some idiot in my street who cant ****ing drive.. ive cars been backed into three times in the last 6 months, first time a rooted quarter panel, 2nd time rooted my bumper (fell off) thrid time smashed my indicator/headlight ****ed the already rooted bumper from where i got side swiped and scratched up my bonnet....

now cmon is it ****ING hard to leave a note saying im sorry... total damage over the 3 accidents like $150...... some people need to get some ****ing spines i swear...

and people that egg cars... someone i had a disagreement with decided to egg my car a few times... then ****ing turned up to my 19th uninvited... we turned out and egged the **** outta his car one night... and he stopped doin it

also people who act tough because they're tools... this idiot was doing 50km/h in a 80 zone.. so i over took him.. as i went to over take him he sped up... now i sped up more (VRRRRMMMMM WOOOSHHHH) and over took him (like us young whipper snappers do) but i didnt break the law just got frustrated, he gets up behind me and tail gates me doing 80km/h now... and starts high beaming me.. so i slow down to 70km/h... i get to my work and pull in.. he follows me and pulls into a park near by... he walks 10 meters from my car and points at me (some 40 year old "tough' guy) and says "YOU BETTER WATCH IT MATE" .... now i work over the road from a cop shop.. .. anyway he started walking towards me car because i was laughing to my self.. then i said to him "you better watch it mate!" and pointed to the two coppers comming outta my work... he then walked off

i dont understand how people can be soo tough but such pussies at the same time, i mean what do you have to prove to anyone else??

also idiots that dont indicate i was run off the road by this stupid lady (elderly) who failed to indicate after doing a u turn into the left lane then she pulled over to the right lane without checking or indicating... after a constant honk of the horn for 15 seconds she continued on driving without even looking back... now my grandma is the sweetest old ladie there is (shes been doing meals on wheels for 25 years) and she is a competent driver but she got her licence around 30 years ago.. you've gotta wonder about the driving standards some people went through when they first got their licence... should these people be on the road???

 

[fourstar82]

Paradox, I'm with you on the indicator thing. Annoys the hell out of me people who don't indicate, or check their mirrors and blind spots before they change lanes and cut me off, then wonder why I get so upset with them.

Another one of my pet hates are people who do 5-10kms or more slower than the stated speed limit on a perfectly good day. aarrgg!!!

Ok onto non driving related things...

I went to the Caulfield Cup this year with some friends, which is always good to observe people (perving ) and such. Anyway, we seated ourselves in the main grandstand, close to a bar and the bookies, when a group of youngsters (they would have been 18, 19, 20) turned up and sat fairly close to us. Still being young myself, I didn't mind the noise coming from them, but it was the inability to articulate themselves in a manner without constantly swearing. Every second, third, fourth word was 'sh*t' 'c*nt' 'f*ck', etc... It wasn't as if it was mid to late afternoon, when youd expect this sort of language to appear, it was constant all day long! If young people of today don't learb how to express themselves without swearing, then the english language is truely dead. Announciation of words was another thing they weren't doing... I sound like a grumpy old man...
