Geez! I hate that!

When using superglue to repair your remote control plane, leaving on the workbench for the glue to cure only to come back later to find it's now firmly glued to the bench.

bench!! Hah! you got off lightly, when I use the stuff I'm stuck together for a week, clothing, hair, nostril's, finger's, elbows.

tricky stuff, super glue, sneaks up on you when you least expect it......I am banned from using it by madam as well as all my kids.

I hate looking on Carsales and finding a 2013 FG MKII XR6 Turbo for $34k driveaway and realising it would cost me a third of my current monthly repayments on the Paj but still have far too much negative equity on the Paj to trade in.

**** I hate that, cause overall I would be saving bloody near on $600 a month once all costs are considered and be five times faster than what I am driving now. :(

Not really a 'Geez! I hate that!' moment - more of a 'Geez! I love getting one back on them' moment.

Earlier in this thread I mentioned how my teenage son will eat leftovers that I put away for my dinner at work.

The other day, my son was out grocery shopping with his mother (a very rare occasion - my wife must have tricked him into it!) and he bought some chocolate cookies (with my money of course).

Geez they were nice - every one of them!!!!

Cough laxatives in the leftovers cough!

[poppa smurf]

"laxatives in the leftovers".......reminds me of the feller down clare way who was having his firewood stolen so he put a quarter of a plug of gelignite in a hollow piece and back filled it with sawdust and glue.

soon found out who was pinching his wood!!!

When the youngest Cat decides at 5:00 it's time to get up, so fights his sister. Who just happened to be sleeping next to you, and is now kicking **** on top of you.

[blueoval]

i really hate trying to get past trucks in traffic only for them to block you from passing because they too are trying to get to work.

[H.G]

I hate getting out to blackwater early to get a few hours sleep in before night shift only to hear old mate next door Erving the tits off his car so all the world can know he owns a v8 .. No I can't sleep..

[K_Man]

I hate it when I wash the car and get it looking like new to come out the next morning and discover that the neighbour had his chimenea or whatever going last night and the car is covered in little specks of ash!

[AndyXR6T]

I hate the end of long weekends and knowing you have to go back to your ****** job the next day

[NickyN]

I know this'll happen again during the week so I may as well post it up now.

I can't STAND when I pick up a call and the person on the other side doesn't respond. I say, "hello, ........hello?............hello??" I can hear rustling of papers or ppl talking in the background, then someone finally says, "oh, glad I caught you I needed to find out ......"

The person who called me did it while on speakerphone, probably trying to multitask and then was caught offguard when I picked up...... it's a pain to receive a call like that when I'm busy too. Sheesh....arghhh.

I could just hang up next time, but don't want to be rude. *sigh*

When I want pudding, but nobody else in the house wants pudding. My pudding in a mug recipe is for two, and uses one egg, I can't split that, plus the motivation to make pudding disintegrates when you're only making it for yourself! And so I am puddingless.

Solution:

1. Eat both
2. Eat the spare the next day
3. Buy smaller eggs
4. Replace 'housemates' with stoners. They'll eat mountains of puddings and appreciate you making it for them.

[NickyN]

Cant just make it a stick what you don't eat in the frig for next time?

[Lotte]

That would be the sensible thing to do.

[Raysie]

I hate it when I'll purposely pause something I'm watching on Foxtel IQ so I can then FF the ads and do something of more importance in the meantime...

To then accidentally hit the remote after returning to lose my entire paused session.

Sadly have to admit I've done this more times than I'd like to admit.

People who don't know what suburb they live in....

I sell some stuff online. Around half the people I send stuff to are a little confused about where they live. They put their suburb they live in, then the capital city suburb after it...

Eg:
Mr Customer,
123 Xyz Street,
Bankstown,
Sydney,
NSW 2200

or:

Mrs Customer
76 Joe Blow Street
Bulimba
Brisbane, 4147
Queensland,
Australia

Sydney is its own suburb, as is Brisbane! The ONLY time you use the capital city name is if you actually live within the postcode. Such a common mistake.......

Thats because when you sign up for ebay in the U.S,they require town,city and state,so theres not much you can do.As you wont be able to continue your details unless its all filled out.I hope this now ends one of your hates.

You just reminded me of another pet hate...

People who assume that selling online must mean Ebay.

Oh, my Ebay account doesn't have 2 suburbs, 1 is what I entered and it works no worries.

And if we were talking about Ebay, how do the other 50% manage to get their address right?

Ebay,Paypal whatever,People only fill out the required fields and different countries have different requirments.I used U.S ebay as an example as I signed on over 10 years ago so didnt have to do the same with ebay Australia which would not have the same sign on address questions as the U.S.When I get items sent to me from Australian sellers they also put my capital city in the address as they get my details from paypal as it appears from my original sign on address.I hope this explains it.

We are not the US, Ebay and Paypal HERE don't have two spots for a suburb.

I have my own site, and don't ask for 2 suburbs. People put it thinking it is the correct thing to do. Why, I have no idea.

This thread is about hates, it is something I certainly don't like and it is a very common 'misunderstanding' from my observations.

Yes, there may be a reason behind it but I don't really care...

half size slices of bread at full size prices.....I've seen Sao biscuits bigger than some of these.

[blueoval]

Restaurants which charge double for half the amount of food on the plate you think your getting.

Had more bad luck with share houses recently, I've have just left my 5th place because when the house was having a bbq last night had some friends around and all about 15 people all up in the process of said bbq some of their "friends" were gladly helping themselves to items in my room, these were sentimental things and well hidden but are now gone, so bloody frustrating. On a good note this week i got new springs for my car ( thanks xhbrad).

That's not a good experience.

I lived in a share house for just over 1 yr in the Eastern Suburbs with 18 (not a mistake) 18 house mates and really didn't have much problems, well none actually. Was quite the experience actually.

I then bought a big house and ran my own for 3 years prior to getting hitched. When you are in charge you soon see how some people really don't give a toss about anything or anyone other than themselves.

I started with a 1pg contract for my house mates, and by the end it grew to 2 pgs with 1cm margins and size 11 font.

Find a place that has rules about quantity of visitors, parking, how 'whole house' events are planned / run etc.

Don't have rules in place, people do what they want.

Did your room have a lock?? Never stay in a place that does not allow you to lock your own door.
