The "damn That Gives Me The Sh*ts" Thread

[sixfan]

I hate everyone at the airport:

Farkers that don't realize an airliners luggage compartment is underneath the floor, not above thier heads.

they come onto the plane with two or three pieces of carry on luggage then hold up the whole boarding as they

stumble up and down the ailse banging thier cr@p into already seated passengers while they look for somewhere to jam thier bags.

retards who crowd around the baggage carousel, BEFORE it's even stared moving, then block access for people who actually have bags that are unloaded already goin' round and round....

FFS people, if everyone stands back, you'll get a good view of your bags as they come out and you can step forward when they do, grab 'em and go. no pushing, no shoving.

and

getting a seat next to someone fat

getting a seat next to someone who stinks

getting an aisle seat next to someone with weak bladder

getting a seat next to some dumb bogan who has finally saved up enough points for his first ever flight

getting a seat next to someone who thinks an airliner is an airborne pub.

getting seat behind a selfish B who plonks his / her seat into recline ASAP

getting a seat infront of a person who is constantly fiddling around in the seat back pocket

F'n Jetstar and F'n Virgin. No I don't want to buy a $7.50 anzac biscuit or Richard Bransons Autobiography,

and no I'm not going to change my mind so stop pestering me!

secrurity checks; yes your little sniffer has picked up explosives, it's power gel and ANFO, yes I work on a mine,

no I'm not a terrorist......

Bae146's with thier cruddy cabin pressurisation so at landing if you've got a cold, you can bust an eardrum.

but most of all:

Living in the supposed gateway to Asia and having ONLY one destination for an international flight from Darwin: Dili.

To get anywhere OS from Darwin, Ya gotta fly to Brisbane or Sydney.

+1 for sunglasses - the "sun" part of the name kinda gives it away don't you think!?

Excessive namedroppers: Sure, it was kinda cool when you told me about 1 or 2 cool people you know. But when you drop 5 names in a single conversation? I really don't care that you're the second coming of Kevin Bacon.

People that use buzzwords and corporate cliches. Allow me to demonstrate:

1. You are not in the finance space, you're a mortgage broker. And last I checked you were on planet Earth and there is no stellar constellation named for finance professionals.

2. No I do not want to catch-up with you; if you'd like to discuss something of mutual benefit or interest however perhaps we could have a MEETING! Catch-up is what Americans have on their hot dogs.

3. Generational theory - this one really gets my goat. Really what you're saying is, you're too lazy to figure out what each individual person is about, so you prefer to simply pigeonhole them and treat them accordingly.

4. If you implement an idea or initiative, it has not gained traction - it has simply been successful.

5. When the rubber hits the road - this has become the modern corporate equivalent of at the end of the day.

6. The reality is or I'll be honest with you - The former implies everything previously spoken about is fantasy, while the latter suggests anything the person has said prior is a lie.

7. The word utilise - try simply saying use rather than utilise; it means EXACTLY the same thing, uses 2 less syllables and 4 less letters, and can help reduce your WQ (Wanker Quotient. Yes I just made that up).

There, I feel much better now!

I hate tuners/workshops who have a delusional view of their own situation and achievements.

I hate tuners/workshops who make promises, are asked if those promises are realistic and are told they are, take thousands of dollars deposit and do nothing for that money in 5 weeks, then agree to a full refund when you pull out but will not return your thousands of dollars.

I hate tuners/workshops who drive customers cars but when they're told they shouldn't being doing it, flippantly remark "I have to test drive them don't I"?

I hate tuners/workshops who tell you they're fitting second hand planetaries to a customers BTR 4 speed auto which cost $300 dollars but are going to tell the customer he fit new units from Ford and charge them $1000 dollars (here is a hint people ASK FOR RECEIPTS and proof of anything being claimed).
