Yet another 5 things that annoy me

This blog now has over 1,000 total pageviews! Yay! To celebrate, I thought I'd whinge a bit more:

1) People walking around shops in bare feet. At least put some thongs on.

2) Self-serve checkouts. They're slower. I'm fairly geeky and even I had trouble understanding the damn thing when I tried it. They're taking jobs away from teenagers. And, if it's cheaper to install the machines, shouldn't the prices of goods come down? ...

3) Chevy badges on Holdens. Can somebody PLEASE explain this to me in the comments below? What's the idea here? The engine is designed in America, but built in Australia, yes? Or what? ... Anyway it's usually stupid bogans that also display the Southern Cross on their window (another issue entirely ...) so which country are they pledging allegiance to? Australia or America? I'm confused.

4) People that see you're wet, and immediately say "Oh is it raining outside?"  .... "No, I took a shower in my clothes." ... "No, it's raining inside actually." ... ARGH!

5) Company "sick leave" policy. They advise you in the induction, "Don't come to work when you're sick! Be responsible, don't spread it -- stay at home!" ... Then when you actually get sick, that attitude completely reverses. "Oh we're short staffed, are you sure you can't come in? Are you getting a doctor's note then?" ... Sick of it. I'm getting a cold right now and already I'm thinking that I can't have any time off since the other storeman will have to do all the work without me. So I'll be spreading the cold to about 40 people ... in a hospital. Brilliant.

5 More Things that annoy me

1. Hot women who are bitches. No need for it. Your life is already easier due to being good looking. How about sharing some smiles around, making some men happy? It's not that hard, you stuck-up bitch. Hell, I'm not Brad Pitt, but I'd put myself up around Colin Farrel, Matt Damon sort of level -- and I still smile and say hello to chicks.

2. People who pronounce "specific" as "pacific". Are you a toddler? Are you just learning to speak? No, you're a grown adult. Please learn the word and pronounce it correctly. Thankyou.

3. People who answer their phones "Hello?" even though they just looked at the incoming call screen, and they know damn well who is calling.

4. The fact that "SUV" has entered the Australian vernacular. It was bad enough when the American's invented it, but you expect such drivel from them.

5. People who cough without putting their hand over their mouth.

That is all.

5 Things that annoy me

Just getting these off my chest.

1. People who stir their coffee for 10 seconds or more. Stir it for 2 seconds then stop. It's not getting any more dissolved, you moron ...

2. People who buy a 4x4 and then ... lower it. So now you've got the same ground clearance as a standard car. You can't see over traffic ... Why did you buy a 4x4 in the first place?

3. People who do 30kph or more in a carpark. Every single car you pass has the potential for a small child to run out from behind. Do the world and favor and drive according to the conditions. Carparks = SLOW.

4. People who say hello to you at work, then pass you 30 minutes later and say hello again. It's been said. Leave it alone now. Thankyou.

5. People who don't put their headlights on during rain. It's basic common sense. You see how 80% of other cars have their lights on? Wake up. Turn on your brain. You absolute chimp! Why does the government let you get behind a wheel?

Cheers,
