Don't put burgers on the menu unless you can tolerate them being eaten without cutlery!

One of the reasons I love Viet/Thai restaurant's is I can wear shorts,t-shirt & thongs, and the eating is real relaxed. It is perfectly acceptable to eat with your hands, slurp noodles & soup and carry on like an idiot if you order a hot dish. I love hot food & eating with my hands but one night at the local Viet after a particularly hot chicken laksa with fresh chilli, I went to the toilet for a pee. Anybody who has handled chilli knows anything you touch burns like a torch. Imagine the view if you had of came into the bathroom and there I am shorts around my ankles, trying to get my block n tackle under the cold tap to stop the burning! Geez! I hate that!

I work two doors down from a port a loo servicing facility. It pongs everyday. I pity the joint in between us and them.

[Lunch]

The lid on the ute looks like a flock of pelicans were having target practice so I decide to wash it, I work my elbows for 3 hours, car looks great, 1 hour later, there's a **** on the bonnet, quick spot wash, all good, 2 days later, 3 more on the lid, get it home, another spot wash although slightly larger, next day, today, I spot my car while at work, this time it's the bonnet and this time it looks more like it came from an elephant. Is it just me?
I HATE THAT

Yeah agree, it's a bugger I get it all the time too.
Think the pidgeons are re-incarnated Holden purist's.

I usually have the other problem. Even if there isn't a cloud in the sky, I can almost be certain it will rain after a solid wash and wax. Spend a couple of hours on a Sunday making the car look good, only to be left with droplet marks hours later, I hate that

I pity you.

10 doors down would be bad enough.

feel for you mate...an old next door neighbour of ours was a contractor for the thunder boxes, the p**** use to bring 8-10 full one's home overnight most days then leave at 5.00am to do the dump - wonderful alarm clock !.

Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

When you have 3 days off but you have to go to work tomorrow, reality sucks sometimes

[Lunch]

When you've just spent an hour or so washing your car and to assist with the drying phase you take the car out for a quick zip, while you're out u let someone pull in front of u from a side street, only to have him pull over onto to gravel shoulder about 1km down the road, covering ur car in dust..

Gotta hate when you get to tafe nice and early in the morning only to be told half an hour later the days been cancelled due to the teacher being sick. (Mind you the teacher in particular is hopeless)

Sometimes the fill in teacher can be better than the real teacher but I guess they are too tight to pay $70 an hour.

[xr6-FTW]

Well my day just got better, ive got a nice big scrape at the drivers rear quarter, mainly on the rear bumper side. No note, no evidence, **** my life

[Feathers]

Was meant to have an easy day at work today. Pick up a group of kindy kids at 11am, take them to some theatre and drop them off, then go back a few hours later and pick them up at 2pm.
I'd just sat down to my freshly made lunch, when the school rang our office at 12.50pm and asked for the return pick up to be moved to 1.15pm.

So lunch went in the bin, and I had to go immediately to get back to the pick up point in time.

[Bushbasher]

Ouch. I don't know if that was completely necessary. Just cos you might have had a hard day doesn't mean it's ok to lash out at someone else.

[thefargo]

I'm with Bushbasher here, I think GX was overly harsh, bordering on invidious (look it up).
the reason I have a low post count after so many years is because I don't see the point in being rude and disrespectful in posts!

It doesn't matter what job you are in there is always something that will annoy you. Just because you think you're the hardest worker around doesn't mean you understand someone else's situation.

I can see that plenty of people are replying to this thread while they are at work. Didn't mean to be particularly harsh just to say that it sounds like a bludge of a job to have to do two bus trips and that's your whole day, from the sounds of it. Having to reschedule the return trip is hardly the end of the world now is it? I know that schools pay hundreds of dollars for such bus trips. Most of the guys I supervise aren't even capable of getting a car licence for one reason or another.

Sold an item for a loss on ebay. Buyer decides he doesn't want/like it and goes through ebay to get a refund then leaves negative feedback. I paid all the post for this as well as losing my perfect rating. Ebay do not give a hoot about sellers,their practices are pathetic. My account was fraudulently used a few months ago and a few hundred went out of my bank account. It took over a month to get it back and not one person said sorry or offered me a thing, all the while my ebay account & paypal account were frozen. I wonder why I bother. The customer service is as good as optus, non existent.

The fact I am here again this week tells you the sort of week Iv'e had. I washed and polished both cars last Sunday. This morning I get home from walking the dogs and the neighbours new boyfriend has been over and mowed the lawn.That's right, he doesn't live with her. He blew all the clippings, dirt & dust from the job up my drive, all over the cars. I asked him not to mow the lawn outside my driveway as it is my land & responsibility to mow. I told him I am a car guy & I don't want whipper snippers near my cars or blowers for that matter. I do my own garden regularly, there was no need to do it again. What do you do?

[Junkyard-Dog]

Put the moves on his woman.

[X-AHH]

Get the cars cleaned at a detailer and send him the bill. People like this really give me the sh##s.

Concrete over the lawn

Geez I hate the filthy grubs who smoke in cars, and then flick the butts out.

Had one picked up by the wind going over the derro's side mirror in the lane beside me as he flicked it away, and landed it nicely on my bonnet of my VL Brock, just at the base of the screen, where the wind fluttered it around and the smoke smell poured in through the plenum & out the A/C vents at me. Absolutely disgusting, and really ****ed me off as I rebuilt the entire A/C in that car with all new components 6 years back.

FFS you filthy mongrel, if you're dirty enough to smoke in a car, use a damn ashtray in the car, not inflict your habits on others.
