Butter in hotels, there is no need to freeze the little packets. They don’t need to be frozen!!! I have to rip holes in my toast or pre heat them to melt before opening them.

Or the shower/bath in 1 in hotels where you have to bend down to turn the tap on before pressing that button thing so the shower works and you get that gush of cold water blast all over your back

I’m gonna throw a couple of these out….

1 - The same 3 or 4 people appearing on pretty much every NRL podcast or programme, regurgitating the same view on the same stories 5 or 6 days a week……

2 - And this is a biggie…. The lack of spice leading into Origin. Everything is so bland, and has been for years now, we’re less than 36 hours to kick off and there’s just no hype at all. The players all respect each other, there’s no hatred, it’s becoming just another game. The NRL seriously need to look at this. Origin is built on hatred, built on fighting, built on the thought that it could explode at any time. The fact Madges ‘glasshouses’ comment was the biggest talking point last year shows how sanitised it’s become. BORING!!!!

When U are grocery shopping. I have 2

1. When U need to check your phone or something so U go and stand next to the most obscure item in the store and all of a sudden someone wants to get 1 off the shelf. Probably the only sale all day is when I'm standing next to that f**kn shelf

2. Grocery employees who fill the shelves with their big red mother f**ker trollies. Do it after hours or late in the day. Bad enough having to dodge neighbours who want to talk in the aisles in front of everyone , or dodging feral kids running up the aisle. Park the big red cars until when it's quieter U Muppets

Elevator etiquette.

FFS when will people waiting to get in stop rushing the door and near on knocking the people getting out over. It's so dumb and so thoughtless. Stop assuming the elevator is empty and there just for you!

Then there's the dorks who get in, press the button to the floor they want and then turn stand with thir back to the buttons so other charnts have to navigate them to press a button.

Sydney trains.
Either not on time, running behind, going slow and patrons trying to get in the train at stops before people get off the train.
And they wonder why people drive

Trying to organise tradesmen to do work in Thailand, and getting my wife to understand what needs to be done, and what can't be done.

We have a 1000 litre water tank and a water pump, which started spewing water ~4 months ago.
So we had it all disconnected and got the pump repaired and have been waiting to have it reinstalled ever since.
Meantime, water pressure is pretty weak and it's starting to wear thin.

We've been waiting on a guy for over a month and he just never shows, so my wife went to another guy the other day to ask for help. He came around the next day and we got to planning.

Here's me thinking simple job: re-plumb everything and a few hundred bucks later we're sweet.

Nope.

She's decided that it's the perfect time to install water filters as well.
It's been on the agenda for a while, but I've been holding off while we do other things.

Oh, and she's not happy with our water tank and pump.
She wants new ones.

She also decided she didn't want them to go where they were originally, she wants to move them to the side of the house instead of around the back.
Only problem is that area is just soil and weeds.
It's on the back burner to concrete and extend our roof over that area along the fence, but that was a "next year" job.

So we had a concreter come in and quote to lay the concrete, including a gutter trench along the fence to the back of the house where the storm water drain inlet is.

Now that few hundred bucks is closer to $4,500.
Whatever. It needs to be done. Just book it.

So we've paid the deposit, the concreter is coming in tomorrow to start work and now she's decided she doesn't want the gutter. She just wants plain concrete.
It's the rainy season. Where does she think all the water will go?

On top of that, she's decided because the new area will not be covered yet, the tank, pump and filters should go at the back of the garage.

That's diagonally opposite the water mains for the house. As far as you can possibly get.
So in order to get water to the house we will either need to pump it around the entire outer perimeter along the fence and lose a shitload of pressure in doing so, or dig up a heap of tiles out the front and through the garage in order to lay new plumbing. Something which hasn't been quoted for, and which I do not want to do.

She's been pushing this idea for about 2 years now.
We've consulted ~4 or 5 different guys about moving it all into the garage and they all tell us the same thing - bad idea.

It just does my f**king head in.
