I hate parking inspectors - especially the ones who skulk around hospitals booking sick people and their relatives and also the ones who lurk around when any event is on at places like Noosa where there is never anywhere to park for more than 2 hours unless you are there before daylight.

I hate drivers who sit in the slow lane and don't allow others to merge onto the highway, especially if there is no-one in the right hand lane and they could easily either move over/slow down/speed up to allow a merge.

I hate it when the staff at Bunnings always hide when you need assistance.

I hate it when at a restaurant or cafe and the person in front has been standing in line for ages then doesn't know what they want to order when its their turn or doesn't know their table number and has to go back to get it. No wonder it takes so long to order. This happens at Surf Clubs all the time.

Hey Tux,
Collect some business cards from plastic surgeons that do liposuction,
Next time you see her waddling in, blue-tac the cards around the carriage, slip them into her bag, or do the old "excuse me, I think you dropped these"

Mine died.

Be patient.

Seriously though, blood is thicker than a wedding ring, so any finely detailed plan that you and your SO have laboured over is irrelevant.

I hate when someone pulls up to highway, you see that they see you, but they pull out anyway so you have to brake and wait for them to get up to the speed limit.

I hate trucks that indicate that its safe to pass, when its not.

I hate that they have sections of road with 20mts of broken overtaking line, do they think I am driving an F1?

I hate people who park in the first available fuel bowser, when the one in front is empty.

I hate that head lanterns need 3 "AAA" batteries, yet you can only buy the batteries in packs of 4.

And I hate forgetting my age and perving on the same age group of chicks as I was 10 years ago.

Or what about when you merge onto a hwy and the driver from behinds merges too early and then sits in the right lane at your speed.

^^^ My dear old Nan used to spend hours ironing socks, jocks, hankies, tea-towels, towels etc. during her early alzheimer's stage. Every time we would visit my oldies & Nan was there, she would be ironing - with a smile on her face.

As for mother in-laws - I remember someone explaining the theory of the correct distance to live from them a few years ago - something along the lines of...

"You want to move far enough away that limits the amount of visits they will make, but close enough so that they can visit and drive home without staying the night."

My in-laws live 100kms away - they turn up for a day's visit every 3 weeks or so, but never stay for much longer than a few hours as they like to drive home before it gets dark.

Mine lives in the UK, but every time I've stayed with her, or she's stayed with us, she...

Makes any food I want.
Makes my bed (everyday).
Washes my clothes and irons them... underwear included.
Lends me her car.
Buys me whisky (single malt) and other presents.
Always chooses my side over her own daughter's, and tells her to listen to me cos I know best.
Lets me sleep until mid-day and doesn't make noise until I wake up... daughter has to wake up before 8am.
Makes her daughter serve my food on a tray, before everyone else.
Asks me for tea every hour.

It's like having a personal Santa Claus butler PA with their own initiative.

Does your wife have a sister?

Not a bad idea but she looks to big to bend down and pick them up.........

F'n lawyers. I live in what is supposedly a residential block of units and one day couple of families and their kids were going absolutely berserk in the pool for two hours. I finally cracked and said something to them about their inconsiderate behaviour, not only did I cop a spray from them but they complained to the building manager and next thing you know I've got a threatening solicitors letter for my actions which I thought were just a reasonable request to quieten down.
A week later I got a breach notice from the BC committee just because I wanted some peace and quiet in my on home. NOW THAT'S WHAT I HATE. Justice arse about face.

I miss my mother in law she was the best RIP.
Miss me old mum too.

Sorry about that. You can have mine.

What I hate is getting abused in the surf after you screw up on one wave and some low life goes off at you and judging you by one mistake and it's all on. Had this the other day and all my good waves counted for nothing in this arseholes view.I wonder why they bother surfing .Needless to say later on he tried to drop in on me and I smoked him but the day was buggered.

I hate school holidays when the beachfront becomes inaccessible an traffic chaos with people doing f...all (can't they do f...all at home?), tailgaters and people who toot at me when I've been 15/16th's backed out of my parking space for the last two minutes, when they tear into the parking lot slamming on the brakes, insisting danger was imminent and acting as though waiting for me to back out was the most crucial five seconds of their life just....gone.....whatever happened to patience and common courtesy?? People living in their me bubble who monopolise the whole of the cycle/hiking path, what ever happened to keep to the left??, particularly the guy on his pushbike with his headphones on swaying all over the path who can't hear you dinging th @#**:×!! out of your bell and the people who have their puppies off the leash in the keep on leash area then get all upset when you run them down...
