If you are going to melt about using our roads then put some effort in! I hate all of the following (and plenty more):
  • Motorcyclists who weave in and out of traffic like they think they are playing a game of MarioKart. The clue your not, is that the road isn’t a ****ing rainbow.
  • Drivers of any overly big/fancy/expensive car who think they deserve special treatment on the road. Yes we get it, you wasted a shit ton of money on a depreciating asset, good work!
  • Drivers of massive 4WDs who seem oblivious to the fact that they block off all visibility of the cars behind them. You are basically a truck, we can’t see shit in front of you.
  • Cyclists who say **** it to using the cycle path running parallel as they have some kind of death wish trusting drivers not to clip them on a busy road.
  • Anyone riding an electric scooter. Sorry but you just look ****ing ridiculous. Think it looks better than riding a Segway? It doesn’t.
  • Pedestrians who revel in walking right in the middle of car parks, regularly behind moving cars as if it is a game. Even better if they have kids because it’s a great safety lesson for everyone else on what not to do.
  • Cars who speed up to swerve around you when you are pulling out of a car bay. Wouldn’t want to be a decent human and just wait that extra 5 seconds instead.
  • 4WDs who insist on reverse parking even though it holds up the entire line of cars waiting for an extra minute or two when they could easily just pull in front ways in seconds.
  • People who honk their horn when someone doesn’t accelerate within milliseconds of the traffic light going green. The world will probably survive if you are a second later arriving for whatever “very important” thing you are heading to.
  • ****ers who don’t know how to merge on the Narrows (or anywhere there are two lanes merging really). FFS it really isn’t that hard. If you find yourself completely unwilling to let someone across in front of you please see a doctor about your delusions of grandeur. And similarly for those ****s who zoom up the side and expect to just push their way in.
  • People that think they don’t need to indicate. You self entitled prick, pull your finger out and use it to flick your turn signal.
  • Drivers who tailgate when you have a car in front of you. All you are doing is outing yourself as a ****ing moron.

All great points. One of mine is I feel as a pedestrian going across a pedestrian crosswalk there should be some effort to move a bit quicker. Just out respect of the driver at least pump your arms to look like you’re trying to move faster.
Also note, if you have a kid under 6 & he is dawdling, kick him up the ass, we drivers appreciate that.

The two worst places for that for me are going left from Poletti onto Beeliar Drive- particularly if you want to go right at the lights and you essentially have 150m to cross to the other side and getting onto Tonkin from Dunreath heading south and being able to get out of the left lane so you aren't forced to get off at Airport Drive and head around to T1 & 2. Both my mum and dad are FIFO and I do the drop off and the amount of times I am basically forced to either slow down to 70 or just basically bumper cars my way across because people won't let you in is ridiculous for that early in the morning.

All except the reverse parking. Wait 5 minutes so nobody gets run over when the car needs to leave. It’s an ohs thing.

And as for merging, people need to learn how a zip works.

With the ever shrinking car spots and ever growing cars, it’s almost impossible to get in some of the tiny ones without reversing if you have a long wheel base.

Merging onto the freeway. It is the responsibility of the person on the on ramp to get up to the required speed limit to enter traffic.

Drivers can't expect those already doing the required speed to just slow down and allow those entering to merge. That's how traffic jams occur.

I've got other traffic gripes (such as split lanes at traffic lights) but what really is boiling me at the moment is people who use self serve checkouts at the shops (especially during busy times) who don't know what they are doing. Either go to a staffed register or come back at a quieter time of day and learn how to use them.

Oh I've definitely got a whole other list for shopping centres.

I used to have a list for airport security and for shopping centres. Now I only go to the shops when it isn't busy. Otherwise, I get click and collect. Although there are issues with click and collect as well lol.
 
For a while there, I was seriously considering starting a YouTube channel teaching people about (what I thought was pretty) common courtesy and performing tasks with efficiency so as not to inconvenience the other Hoomans.

Didn't think there was a market for it and I'd end up on A Current Affair as some loon.

DO IT! But ride the edge between serious and comedy such that nobody really knows which it is. 100% would watch.

Ok so here's some things I hate (from Perth's shopping experience):
  • People who are rude to the young retail staff. It’s not their fault the shop doesn’t have a size 18 of that on-sale moo moo you want to pair with those Kmart rip-off Uggs you live in. Being willing to spend that $8s doesn’t give you a licence to order them around like they’re your own personal slave.
  • People who abandon their trolleys in a car bay. These geniuses are also the first to complain that there isn’t enough parking available. Although, also ****ing shopping centre management for never putting the trolley bays in sensible locations.
  • Groups or families who walk through a shopping centre spanned across the mall at a snail’s pace, stopping the movement of everyone who isn’t just there for a leisurely stroll. Shops don’t need pace cars thanks.
  • Those who blatantly steal. Yes times are tough but was that guy who just walked out with a 30 pack of Cokes the other day not going to survive without them? Please seek help from one of the many food banks and related charities if you need it.
  • People who like to block off an aisle in a supermarket to have a critically important conversation. It’s ok I’ll just wait to get through while you over explain every detail about why your life is so tough at the moment to your ‘friend’ whose face clearly says they don’t give a shit.
  • ****ing shelf stackers. What the heck happened to doing this overnight when the shops were closed? I get that it is a really boring job but:
    • is there a way you can do it without blocking off the entire aisle? Maybe keep that giant trolley on the same side of the aisle you are stacking?
    • when someone clearly wants something where you are stacking, could you have the awareness to pause and let them get what they want? But if they are rude, then **** them and feel free to take your time.
    • you do know you can actually buy and use some of the items you stack? How about starting with the deodorant aisle? Wow, that BO smell can sometimes be other worldly and permeate an entire supermarket. Shops shouldn’t smell like a footy change room.
    • revert back to night stacking as it solves all the above problems (disclaimer: I have no idea of the logistics of this and happy to be called out as an old man yelling at clouds on this one)
  • Shops who put sale tags on half their products when they aren’t really on sale. It’s not really “on sale” if you just double the original price and then claim you are selling it for 50% off. It’s this unethical shit that makes customers go exclusively online where they can compare prices and find the same item for a tenth of the price on Temu.
  • Yoga mums dressed in their exercise garb everyday mostly just for school drop offs who love to judge other people’s shopping trolleys. People can buy whatever the **** they like with their own money. You wouldn’t know about that because you spend your days sipping coconut milk double shot decaf dirty chai lattes and gossiping with the other mums about whichever mum isn’t there at the time.

People that consistently spell something incorrectly.

I get once off errors, and can look the other way.

To be so consistently, confidently, wrong
