Things That Shit Me (Part 2)

[MARVELDC]

So stop paying? Or customize your package?

You're an idiot.

If you don't like FOXTEL, don't subscribe.

dude, quite often they show tv programs that have been on free to air in the past but aren't currently.

When is MASH on FTA right now???

The other thing they do is play past series of that show and may have them on more than once a week. Plus they replay them if you miss them and you can watch many on channel? +2 which is a bonus.

But yea like the others have said, if you don't think its value for $, cancel it

Love the foxtel

MASH is on Monday to Friday 5.pm Southern Cross Television. SCT get their programs from both 7 and 10. So it must be on one of them too.

Don't you mean Plus they replay them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

The "footpath telemarketers" invading the CBD.

It's crowded enough in the city without having to navigate around peddlers and their lame openings, "Did you just come out of (whatever shop you obviously just walked out of)?" or "I just want to ask a quick question".

I don't even look at them & walk straight past them.

"Chuggers" is the correct term

If you really wanna piss them off and have the time. Talk to them, listen for a while, be really interested, tell them you're gonna sign up, then give dodgy bank details

Or if they talk to you, just reply "Merry Christmas"

Re: Things that shit me

^^ The Red Cross people who inhabit 104% of the city's corners give me the shits.

Eye contact means being locked into a 'conversation' that you've had four dozen times in the past week.

The cheerful mood they put on makes me cringe no end as well.

I've been followed halfway across a block because one of them didn't believe I was a year too young to even get past the hello stage.

Don't make eye contact and keep walking. If they do try and start a conversation, a quick "not interested" and I'm on my way. Have to cut it off early, because if I do get pegged down, I stay down.

Did I mention phantom pages?

when tight arse idiots reply to every post with shithouse replies.

yeah they piss me off to in Adelaide we have religous people that hand out fliers I guess there not as bad because you dont have to stop and talk to them and can chuck the fliers away.

People who blast shitty songs on their fone while on the bus while shouting over the top get an mp3 player or turn that shit off.

 

[BomberGal]

People who get on the bus every day in peak hour, but don't buy a weekly/monthly...instead, stop and buy a ticket EVERY day, thus holding up the bus.

 

[adelaide_40]

Goddam that shits me to....I dont understand how stupid these people are they can save money and time.

 

[Korn]

People who don't give a stuff about the anyone behind them. When they are getting off the bus/tram/elevator/escalator they have to stand right in front of the exit to think about where they want to go left or right or if they wanna get off at this stop.

Or a group of people walking shoulder to shoulder in slow-mo right in the middle footpath/shopping centre.

 

[HoldenMagroin]

The Telstra automated directory assistance service, which promptly asks for town or suburb after you say a name, but gets it wrong 8 times out of 10, then a very loooong pause before asking to connect. 8 times out of 10, call ends and doesn't go to operator.

The service is undergoing an upgrade at the moment, so it's a given, but you'd think they would implement the current working service -- the lesser of two evils -- while the new one is still in development. Almost all the last-resort operators sound a little cranky, so I guess the feedback of this abysmal service ain't too rosy.

Old men/drivers.

I turned off a main road into a side street and this old bastard was crossing the road and as soon as I got within 10 metres of him, he stands in the middle of the road yelling "maniac" and shouting at me and raising his walking stick (all whilst standing in the middle of the road) GET OUT OF THE ****ING WAY !!!! I beeped him until he moved.

I hate crappy drivers as well, in the last 2 weeks I've had an old w***er stop in the middle of the road and get out of his car for no apparent reason.

I've had some stupid bitch tailgate me for 3km's. Sitting right up by arse and I was going 63 in a 60 zone! Just pisses me off how they get all grumpy and worked up because I'm going the speed limit I slowed down to about 40 and she started flashing her lights at me so I just gave her the bird. Really pissed me off.

I've also had a ******** turn onto a main road from a side street in front of me and then proceed to drive at about 40km. If people are gonna pull out in front of cars then ****n go the speed limit!! I had to slam on my breaks and eventually overtake him and gave him the stare.

Oh and I've also had Jehovah's Witness guys come round to my place about 4 months ago, and now they visit every 2 weeks and ask me questions and ask me to read booklets and shit! They even know my name as well so if I don't answer the door they ask for me.

Mostly my fault for leading them on but I'm just too nice to say no. They usually come Fridays about 30 minutes after I've finished work around 6pm so I'm expecting Simon & Adam tonight. Will have to get someone to say I've died or something so they stop ***** bothering me.

Telstra technicians when they make the effort to call you and book you in at a particular time of day and then you have to get up early and wait for them to show up, only to find that the slackarses don't even bother.

Flies

The worst thing about summer, have had about 4 buzz around the house today one waking me up at 8am.

 

[ErlendOye]

Oversleeping.

Was meant to get up at nine yesterday morning, but ended up waking up at one. Went to bed a couple of hours ago but still wide awake. Have a practice exam today as well.

Might just go through and reset the body clock tomorrow night.

 

[BomberGal]

People who press the button to cross the road after it's already been pressed. Why???

why would that shit you? Sure it's pointless but it's just people being impatient and letting that manifest in an action.

If that bothers you I'd hate to see you when someone did something mildly annoying.
