When people use "then" instead of "than". It's a completely different word, where is the confusion? Over the last 3 years especially it has become more and more common, even showing up in magazines and newspapers.

Having a 3 hour window of opportunity once a week to:

Examine cars where I live
Examine rental accommodation 2.5 hours drive away
See a tax accountant
Go to post office


And if you miss any one of those things then the window slams closed and you have to wait till the next Saturday... by which time something else has cropped up that you can only do on a Saturday morning... And don't get me started on car registration places that aren't open on the weekend!

Not yet, haven't been down the shop yet. One day.

I've just moved into the master bedroom though and discovered that not only did they glue the half and full flush on the hallway toilet the wrong way around, they did the same with the hot and cold caps on the ensuite taps.

Mmm, noise cancelling headphones. Try them, the children noises just disappear. Also a good way to tell the woman next to you who wants to tell you her life story and family history over the course of a Perth -> Brisbane flight that you really don't care.

Clothing and stuff getting hung over door knobs.

Paying taxes that go towards heathcare for dumbass cyclists who ride at night wearing dark clothing and NO LIGHTS. And often no helmets. Makes me want to wack them with my bike pump when I ride past them at night.

What gets my goat is no matter how close to a bin they are smokers seen to think chucking their ciggy buts on the ground is
A) OK
B) not lettering
C) They just dont care

I have nearly got into fights with smokers over this one before.

I usually just ask them to pick it up and put it in the bin.


I did get my justice on this years ago. I was going to catch a train to work and entered the platform not through the main gate but through a well-worn gap in the fence where heaps of people took a shortcut. Two plain-clothes inspector were on the platform and one of them proceeded to book me for unauthorised entry to a railway platform. So I missed my train and the platform was just about deserted except for me and the two inspectors. I warned a few people who were just about to enter the platform the same way as I had done that the inspectors were there and they would get fined like I did if they didn't go through the main gate. Then the other inspector lit up a smoke and I saw my revenge in the making. I thought that the chance of him dropping the butt on the ground would be about 95%. Sure enough, as soon as he had finished his smoke, he dropped the butt on the platform. I went up to the him in full hearing range of the inspector who booked and said rhetorically and forcefully "Excuse me, do you know what the fine is for littering a railway platform!" He knew exactly what I was on about an looked very sheepish. He knew that his mate had just booked me. I said "You are going to put that butt in the bin, aren't you!" "Yes Sir" he replied, and proceeded to pick the butt up and put it in a bin a few metres away. I was glad he hadn't thrown it on the tracks as I don't think I could have persuaded him to pick it up then.
After he binned the butt and to ram home my point, I said to him in an authoratative and somewhat condescending manner while his mate overheard "We all have to play by the rules, don't we!" "Yes Sir" he replied.
It was the best $95 fine I've ever had to pay.

Same type of complaint, when news hounds say a "bull dozer" did XYZ, when any sane person can see it’s a bloody Front end Loader with a bucket fitted too it.
A bull dozer is the dirty great push BLADE thing fixed to the push arms, that fits up to a track type tractor or a rubber tyre tractor. Get it right, you news ZYLOOMS[}:)]
