Slow Walkers
people who stand in an isle with the trolley parked smack bang in the middle
idiots who park behind a car at fuel bouser blocking the entrance when there are 6 others free
Smokers
much much more
People who drive in the right lane ~10 km/h under the speed limit
When a group of people decide that they want to stop in the middle of a narrow footpath and have a conversation and block everyone else around them
When I can't find the droids I'm looking for
Yup, drivers turning directly into the far lane grind the shower outta my gears :P
And same as you guys, people walking slowly/standing in the middle of footpaths. Drives me nuts!
People who get basic English concepts wrong. For example - he's/his, they're/there/their, definitely (correct spelling).

Ok, very off topic. But I need to rant. Big time.
I'm in a professional choir, like we do international tours and stuff. But our director can be harsh sometime
So the annoying thing... Ok, so all the parts are split in two, so Bass 1 and Bass 2, Tenor 1 and Tenor 2, etc. All the Bass 1s are new this year (including me), so naturally we'd be a bit wet behind the ears, especially when compared to the Bass 2s, some of them have been there for 4+ years.
Anyway, so there's this part in a tune that only the Basses sing, and I sing it fine, some of the other Bass 1's are a bit off, but does the director tell us to fix the notes? Give us a chance? No, he gives the part to Bass2s only.
He did that to us TWICE. Ugh, pardon the French, but what a flowering tosspot.

It's just too risky for my liking. Never know what people have gone through in their life etc. so bringing up serious issues and making light of them could really hurt some people that have experienced that. Just gotta be careful imo. :)
When people order coffee at servos in the morning, and theres only one attendant--make your own coffee at home ffs

Well yeah I agree you do have to be careful in serious situations, was just trying to point out that some people may lack the emotional maturity/development or social skills to behave accordingly.
Haha Jay, you nailed it!
A couple of other things.
People who speed up when you're over taking them.
Girls that think they are substantially more attractive than they are.
Graffiti. The colourful street art is cool but that black paint scrawled on buildings gives me the showers!
By the way, I sit in neutral at the lights because I don't wanna wear out my clutch bearing and my left foot get tired sometimes haha :P I do endeavour to not hold up traffic, gotta anticipate the light changes ;)

Tricks on the Bruce Highway. When it's 100 Km per hour they go 80, then when there's an overtaking lane they'll start going 110 km per hour :(

Yes! Or an extension of that one is when friends/work colleagues get stuck into you about your team losing even though they don't even follow the footy and/or are just part time supporters of a team (ie. only when they are winning).
Couple of things that really grate me when driving:
Tailgating - people sitting right on your rear bumper on single lane highways when you are doing the speed limit. Pay no attention to giving ample distance should I have to break suddenly.
People who drive 5/10 km under the speed limit on single lane highways and as nrich says speed up when overtaking lanes arrive,
On Dual lane highways cars doing under the speed limit in both lanes often driving side by side at 90k in a 100k zone.
Impatience of some drivers - When passing vehicles on dual land carriageways I like to give ample room before moving back in (This observation may twig the memory cells - When I was taught to drive and did defensive driving was taught do not move back in until you can see the front of vehicle overtaken in your rear vision mirror). Have been driving like that but people now days cut in and pass you on the inside.
Other gear grates
Lack of manners on public transport some of things already highlighted,
This a once off every 3 years the number of calls requesting surveys for the federal election - I have received 23 at last count so far. (Usually at meal times as well)

Oh yeah, another one. Thanks to Ringo for reminding me.
People calling our home phone/landline while we're eating meals. It's not even funny, regardless of what time we eat, at least during one meal every day the phone will ring. I don't know how they do it, but far out, it's annoying. :P
Telemarketers calling you even though you are on the do-not-call register >:(
Anything involving Mosquitos really pisses me off, I just do not understand their role in our world.
People that are clearly messaging you for an ulterior motive but never get to the point,
Girls that act drunk to be cool
Guys that think drinking automatically makes them the coolest kids out
People who think their age group/year level is superior to the lesser year levels, eg. Girl A posts 10 photos about her deb (2012), Girl B posts 10 photos about her deb (2013), Girl A then makes a huge status about how nobody gives a shower about debs (directed at girl B)

haha, I used to make jokes like that when in really bad a fb arguments... I've stopped now though.
Mostly because there was this one guy, being an absolute prick to me, and I said something along the lines of 'your such a cow, like what are you, angry at the whole world? are you like a closested homosexual who was never loved by his mother, and was sexually assaulted as a child?'
turns out he was sexually assaulted as a child and lived with his grandparents as a kid because his mother abandoned him.
Don't think he's in the closet though, so it could have been worse.
anyyyyyyyyyyyway. Don't say shower to people on the internet or they threaten to come to your house a kill you :)
I hate it when you go into a public toilet, and someone's left a massive dump in the bowl.
Not because it's gross, since I just flush it down... but because I keep thinking about people walking around without having wiped their butt hole.

Everyone loves a good whinge now and then:
Flogs on Facebook. Updating status and getting likes for the most trivial things purely because they are deemed to be popular for god knows why. Yet when you see them in public, they don't wanna engage in conversation with you and are very abrupt, unlike there Facebook personality..Flogs.
People at night clubs who STAND on the flowering dance floor. It's a dance floor, if your not moving a limb. Your at the bar.
People who will break the speed limit, JUST to catch up to you. If I sit right on the limit of 100, a car a fair way off will gradually creep up behind you. Tip: You will never be in front on a road, there will always be somebody in front of you, somewhere along the way.

"Get a room"
"You sicken me"
"You should both be tried for crimes against humanity"

I've played in FIVE Grand Finals in my lifetime for football, four in juniors and one yesterday in seniors, and I haven't won one of them :(
I've played 4 tennis GF's, 1 cricket GF, 2 other tennis SF's, and 3 other cricket SF's. Guess how many of those I've won?
Zero? :(

When umpires pay free kicks all day, but then don't in the last minute of a close game because they don't have the guts to make an important decision.

Nah not that bad, I've won one. That was where my tennis team broke the record for the most points in a season (128 out of a possible 140). And in the GF we drew 3 sets all and the same games, so had to replay the 2 doubles again haha, which we thankfully won.
And yes Jayman, i am a choker too. :(

Couldn't agree with you more.
Bought a new suit a couple of weeks ago for $300 as I was having dinner in the members for my brothers birthday at the Carl vs Ess game and I tripped over the tram tracks after the game "pissed as" and tore a huge hole in the trousers. Not only lost $300 for the suit but now am wondering when my wife will stop going on about it.

Why I tend not to watch the news, if needed, I'll read online. Agree, there should be plenty of things happening all around Aus but they stretch to America for random stories that have nothing to do with us.
My brother told me a while back if you want a fairly objective world news, to watch Russian news.

Not real well. Good enough to get into my first preference but still a little disappointed. It's just an annoying system. People (including myself) are letting themselves be defined by a number. It's often not really adequate reward for the effort you've put in all year.

You got your first preference. Nothing else matters. The way I see it, if you need an atar of 50 for a course and you get 55, you should be just as happy as someone who needed a 90 and got 91.
I got something in the 80s, and I remember the atar required for my 2nd preference was about 55, and had another preference which needed about the same, and I would've been more than happy doing those courses.

lol is the one I dislike the most though. >:(
Are you kidding me Nige? How many times do you say "lel" or "lol"
My lord.
I never say "lol".
I do say "top lel" or "quality lel" on occasion though, and when I do, I'm usually laughing.
and the difference between lol and lel is...... ???

and the difference between lol and lel is...... ???
There isn't one, it's a variant.
However, this difference is, I always use it in context because it means "laugh out loud".
I've seen people use it in proper sentences like it's actually a word in itself. :o
I think they are both stupid, haha.

right now having seen my score I'm thinking it's a very good system :P. Hopefully will get into first preference too. I've got plenty of mates who were a bit disappointed by their scores, but as long as you can get into a course you want who cares. It becomes irrelevant even to those who got 99.95 as soon as uni starts.
For the lads who have just received ATARs, take it from me... A guy who received 61.45 as their ATAR.
It doesn't matter if you don't get the ATAR you wanted or whatever, when it comes to the end of first year (of Uni), you'll realise the score you got counts for bugger all. :P
Pretty much what was said above, got your first preference so should be more than thrilled :D. When you enter uni, Atar scores mean jack, as pretty much start fresh there! I know some who got a tad depressed when they got their score, but once uni started they forgot about it completely.

I was cut. :P
I think I spent the first 3 months hating my choice of Uni than I did hating the ATAR. :P
Good luck to everyone who is getting their ATAR, it's not the end of the world ;)
Bahahahaha, could have tried something different at a uni you liked, then transfer into the course you wanted if you studied hard.
This is why you aim low, so when you "over-achieve" you feel happy :P.

That's exactly what I do.
I've been told off for this by those senior to me. ::)
Yes! Always aim low so you feel happy :D
Pretty much Nigey, meant to aim high. As low goals or no goals (like me) can help lead to depression, which is worse...
Intolerance.
Cheers guys. I'm not too disheartened, just a little disappointed. The more I think about it though the more I realise it doesn't really matter, it's just about that first preference.
I really don't get it though. Can someone explain my English mark? I thought it was my strongest subject but ended up getting my worst mark in it. I got:
Unit 3 SAC's: A
Unit 4 SAC's: B+
Exam: B (butchered the last section in the exam, I know it)
And still only got a 32 :-[
Like what the hell. If C is the average then C = 30. So how does getting three marks well above the average only leave me with a mark two above it?

Because your SAC marks aren't marked by the exam markers, they're marked by your teachers.
This is my understanding of it:
In one school they could mark really harshly. So everyone there gets C's or lower. Then in the exam, all those people get an A. VCAA will be all like, "oh hey, these guys are actually good, were just marked harshly, let's raise their score"
Then in another school, everyone could be getting A's. And in the exam, no-one gets above a C+, and VCAA think, "these people weren't marked harshly enough at their school, we'll bring their study score down a bit"
I don't know how accurate that is, but that's how I understand it.

Yeah, I understand that reasoning, but a B in the exam is still a result worthy of a 35ish (C = 30, A = 40 approx). So even if they scale back my SAC marks based on my exam performance it still shouldn't dip down THAT far.

I can't even remember, is your exam score a comparison against others, or more like a raw score? I remember in I.T. I got an A+ in unit 3, A+ in unit 4, A in the exam. My raw score was 39, scaled was 34.
I got an A+ in the English exam and only got 36 raw if I remember because my sac marks got scaled up to like B+ or something (after averaging C's). No idea how they work it out with tens of thousands of students involved in the system, and doubt we'll know with Davey getting A+'s and still a pretty average scaled score for IT :o.
Haha don't worry lads, ATAR is complete bs.
Like everyone above me said, no-one gives a shower what your ATAR was when you get to uni, in fact, I think I have been asked once the whole year I was there and that was by some drunk girl. Naturally I told her I got 110 (impossible) and she was stunned, pretty sure she wanted to marry me.
If you were there and sober it was what Nige would describe as a 'top lel' ;D

8) 8) 8)
But yeah, English was probably my best subject all year and my practice exam would have got me 41 (roughly)... Ended up getting 31 on the actual exam (properly butchered it under pressure). :P
Sucks to be you peeps, not forced to do English in Yr 12 in SA. 8)
A study score of 25 or greater is a prereq here for a number of Uni courses from memory.
Can understand your querying the system My Chumps.
When I did Senior (Grade 12) in Qld we all had the same exam and I had never failed English in my life and like you was one of my better subjects. When the results were published I was extremely disappointed to see I had only received a 3 (At that time Grades were 1 - 7 with seven the highest) especially when you needed a minimum of 4 to get into uni courses,
Had the option of questioning the result which I did after paying the required fee of $6 (this was in late 60's so a reasonable expensive fee), End result I eventually received an apology and my grade mark went to a 5 with the excuse that they failed to mark a complete question as I went into the next book with the essay. Too late though to get into uni courses at that time but a blessing in disguise as I went straight into the work force in Banking.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the exam is a raw score. I dunno, it was just a bit annoying. I was hoping for 38ish and expecting 35+, but ended up with that. Awell.
Yeah, rough with the IT. Scaling can be such a pain in the arse sometimes. My friend got Out Door and Environmental Studies scaled down from a 38 to a 32.

Wow Ringo, you don't hear about that sort of thing very often!
I'm not really debating my actual exam mark, I don't think I did very well in the exam to be honest, it's just the scaling that I'm confused about.

It kind of moved away from Dream Girls into who looks the prettiest/hottest for most. If it was there for Dream Men/Women like originally intended, then it may stick around :).
could we start a new thread in coaches forum?
Or in feedback.... where mods have no power..... :-X
Gotta think smarter, which board does m0nty visit more, and therefore more likely to delete it ;). Post in the other board :P.
I don't have a problem with dream Girl/man thread, I was a poster in there. Just sort of diverted from the intent of the thread...

Whats wrong with America? If I could live in any country except Straya it would be USA for sure :)
Oh boy, I could do my masters thesis on this.
How about starting with a topical one, being the only coubtry in the world that wants to attack Syria and said they would do so without UN approval
And to remain on topic.
LeBron haters :)
you could fill a library with things wrong with 'Murica!
You could fill many, many libraries...
i suppose in terms of every country it is a lot better then most although it still does face racism, crime, poverty and have douche leaders, most countries face that anyway.
We definitely don't have to look abroad for 'douche leaders'. :P
Quick fact;
America spends more on its military budget than the next 26 countries combined. 25 of which are allies. Yet meanwhile, their education system is absolutely terrible with a ridiculously high illiteracy rate for a first world country. Their government is a corporation more concerned with money than the welfare of its people.
That being said, I'd still love to visit America, and would probably happily live in New York.

America's sweet, if I lived abroad I would probably like to be somewhere over there.
I wouldn't like to live in the US. Holidaying maybe, but living there wouldn't be great.
You'd need to pick your spot.
No doubt there are select areas in the US that are worthwhile residing in, but there are elements of the American lifestyle that are quite different to the Australian way.
I don't think I'd be able to cope with using fahrenheit and 'snow days' for starters. :P
Take me to Afghanistan before those crappy states of the so called United America
nah snow days would be sick Nigey!
there was a video of the Saints preseason at Colorado and in it there was snow everywhere, and everyone was wearing coats and gloves and beanies, then there was one dude Schneids talked to and he was in shorts and a shirt and wearing thongs.
also ran into Brendon Goddard aswell, and that was pretty funny ;D
Idk, never been much of a snow guy.
I'm probably more into it cos I've never been to the snow.
well once, but was a little kid.. and I can barely remember yesterday so... yeah
I wanna build a snow turtle

Explains why we're the best! Others playing for wickets whilst we play for runs ;D
it just makes sense as well.
bowling wins cricket. you need runs on the board, but if you don't take wickets, then good luck winning a match
wickets more important, therefore goes FIRST.
and people could say... we'll it's Team A's time to bat and it's their innings so runs should come first. and I'd just say "or it's the other way around, and Team B is bowling, why isn't it their innings to set up the win and bowl Team A out cheaply"

I'll preface this by saying, I don't really care about cricket.
Obviously bowling is crucial to cricket wins (ignoring catches, run outs etc.)... that being said, that's a stupid argument.
You get your points from runs... if you don't score any runs, because your shower (note- not necessarily because the bowler's any good), you physically can't win. Even if your bowling is amazing, and you get them all out for 10, if your batting is shower house and your team all get run out for a total of 6, you're going to lose.
It really does not matter, like at flowering all, which way around they all, it's only mildly annoying when it's inconsistent.
And if everyone else does it one way, and we do it another way, then we're the ones causing the inconsistency, ergo, we're the ones annoying ourselves.
Out of curiosity, internationally do commentators comment on the score back to front as well? Like do they say eight for two hundred and thirty two, or do they say two hundred and thirty two for eight?
they say it however it shows on the screen, so yeah they say two hundred and thirty two for eight and we say it the other way around.
still think it should be wickets for runs. you get 10 wickets, so it's on the bowling team to end the innings. 8/232 just makes sense to me.
every person will bat (unless there's a declaration if course) so runs come a lot easier than wickets. if you get bowled out for 10 then you shouldn't be playing any form of cricket :P
plus it looks better I reckon

Thats a poor call.
If your bowlers suck shower then the other team will score 500 and whatever your batsmen do is irrelevant. Plus, you need to take 20 wickets to win a test match plain and simple. If you don't do that, you'll never win a match.
Yeah I agree brad should always be wickets first. Doesn't really annoy me that much but can be confusing if the score is 3/2 or in Victoria's case last week 6/9 ::). Whenever I'm asked the score I say wickets first eg one for seventy rather than seventy for one

Not really, if your batsmen are amazing.
and you don't need to take wickets, there's a set time limit on cricket games for a reason.

Yeah, you need to bowl the other team out twice (or have them declare stupidly early which rarely happens) to win a test match. Otherwise you'll lose or draw. If you run out of time and the side chasing is still batting it ends in a draw..

Really annoys me when the obese feel entitled to two seats and try to use this to their advantage in public (specifically on public transport).
Short story for context: On the train to Uni this afternoon, had a fat lady get on the train and have a look for seats. Decided she'd try to squeeze herself into the seat next to me. She did so and almost pushed me off my seat in the process. If she didn't get off the train when she did, I would probably have given her an uppercut. :P

Short story for context: On the train to Uni this afternoon, had a fat lady get on the train and have a look for seats. Decided she'd try to squeeze herself into the seat next to me. She did so and almost pushed me off my seat in the process. If she didn't get off the train when she did, I would probably have given her an uppercut. :P
haha shower that annoys me!

Any Thursday night games
Agree with LF here even though it is Lions traditional Easter Thursday blockbuster. As it is late night shopping in the burbs the free public transport to the Ground was not as frequent as if for Friday Night or other week end games (one of the few times I have to stand to get to the Ground from Garden City). Buses usually run every 5/10 minutes but last night waited 15 minutes.
With the game not starting till 7:50pm as well means at least 11:15pm for getting home.

The senate ballot paper give me the showers.
It is the size of a bloody tablecloth. I had to fold it half a dozen times just so I could fit it into the ballot box when I voted.
Thats after it took a good couple of minutes to get the bloody thing in place so I could mark it how I wanted to.
When are we going to get electronic voting?
They reckon it is taking an average of 10 minutes to vote so expect a shower wait when I go to vote tomorrow. Yes the Senate voting paper is shower and some 40 groupings to select your 1 - 6 minimum from in Qld.
Another thing starting to grate my gears is the Sunday Team announcements.

Girl at work had a hankering for satay chicken last night, got home and ordered for delivery. Guy rocked up with rice, chicken, but no satay sauce, she was like, uh...where's the sauce? He was like, oh I must've left it back. Awkward silence. She goes, "but I ordered satay chicken" (rough day at work as well)?! Guy said, "sorry". Awkward silence #2. She just stares at him. He goes finally, "do you want me to go and get it"? She says, "yes, yes I do, I want satay chicken". WTF?!? ::)

supply and demmand.
the one that gets me on airlines more, is overbooking.
was told 1.5 hours before my flight that it was overbooked and that my flight was the next day. Was in the taxi just outside the airport. All i got as compensation was $50 which is about the taxi ride to the airport.

I understand the price and demand argument but to me it's a crime for an airfare to go from one price to tripling overnight.
To me it smacks of price gouging much like fuel stations charging top dollar when the price should be lower at the pump.
What extra service do the airlines provide to justify jacking up the airfares for a week leading up to a a game of footy.
It's bloody criminal if you ask me and they shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. There's no argument that justifies what the airlines are doing other than price and demand and I don't except that as a legitimate reason for ripping people off for no other reason than more people wanting to travel on a given date. I have no issue with them putting the price up say $100 but to double or in some cases triple the standard return airfare to me is just theft pure and simple. Shouldn't be allowed.

As planes not flying are losing money, im pretty sure they are maximized so they are flying as much as possible. Changing all the schedules in a short amount of time would be a reasonably costly affair having to change all the logistics around it.
The question becomes is it better they have a crazy expensive flight or no flight at all. The people who truly should be annoyed are people who need to say travel for other reasons such as business who are paying crazy prices because of the football.

With the old man being engineering manager for East West Airlines for years, the logistics of organising more aircraft because of demand is alot simpler than many would think and done regularly throughout the year. There's a cost to the airline having an aircraft sit on the tarmac idle, airlines pay a premium to the airport owners for space to store their idle aircraft just as we do if we park in the city. Yes the aircraft needs pilots and staff but all these costs are covered via tickets sold as they are every other day people are travelling. The extra staff required are already on salary and available no extra staff is required, penalty rates and overtime don't apply to airlines the planes are there and available particularly in Sydney where most of the airlines are based, domestic and to a smaller extent international.
Like you I feel for those travelling for business and other reasons other than wanting to go to the footy, this makes it more ridiculous as to why they are allowed to do it, because a hell of alot more people are caught up in the madness and extra expense than those wanting to travelling to watch the footy.

What extra service do the airlines provide to justify jacking up the airfares for a week leading up to a a game of footy.
It's bloody criminal if you ask me and they shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. There's no argument that justifies what the airlines are doing other than price and demand and I don't except that as a legitimate reason for ripping people off for no other reason than more people wanting to travel on a given date. I have no issue with them putting the price up say $100 but to double or in some cases triple the standard return airfare to me is just theft pure and simple. Shouldn't be allowed.
to play devil's advocate.
As planes not flying are losing money, im pretty sure they are maximized so they are flying as much as possible. Changing all the schedules in a short amount of time would be a reasonably costly affair having to change all the logistics around it.
The question becomes is it better they have a crazy expensive flight or no flight at all. The people who truly should be annoyed are people who need to say travel for other reasons such as business who are paying crazy prices because of the football.
With the old man being engineering manager for East West Airlines for years, the logistics of organising more aircraft because of demand is alot simpler than many would think and done regularly throughout the year. There's a cost to the airline having an aircraft sit on the tarmac idle, airlines pay a premium to the airport owners for space to store their idle aircraft just as we do if we park in the city. Yes the aircraft needs pilots and staff but all these costs are covered via tickets sold as they are every other day people are travelling. The extra staff required are already on salary and available no extra staff is required, penalty rates and overtime don't apply to airlines the planes are there and available particularly in Sydney where most of the airlines are based, domestic and to a smaller extent international.
Like you I feel for those travelling for business and other reasons other than wanting to go to the footy, this makes it more ridiculous as to why they are allowed to do it, because a hell of alot more people are caught up in the madness and extra expense than those wanting to travelling to watch the footy.
Same thing happening with NRL as well. Checked flights to Townsville on Friday and cheapest was $429 Usually you can get flights for around $200.
Yeh it's ridiculous Ringo. My father was involved with aviation for decades and other family members in different capacities such as pilots, ticketing manager, stewards etc and to a man/woman all say there is absolutely no reason for the airlines to increase fares to the levels they do other than to grab as much cash as possible from those travelling over those dates. The ACCC should be all over this but like they fuel companies they continue to get away with it because the ACCC is a toothless tiger reluctant to spend any of their budget policing this.
Domestic airlines lease a large percentage of their aircraft, it's far more profitable to have these aircraft in the air flying than sitting idle on the tarmac. Extra demand at anytime saves the airlines a great deal but in return they use these times to rip off those travelling over particular dates where demand is higher than normal.

Why do hotels cost more during holiday season? I'm sure everyone will tell you they'd rather go during the middle of school/Uni season as that's when everything is cheap. ;)
Pure fact is you either have to book when they're cheaper, or face the consequences.

Although absolutely true Torp why are we so accepting of these practices certain industries employ against us.
I think as a nation we are an apathetic bunch when it comes to these issues, we just continue to put up with it
and while we do business can and will continue to rip us off at any given opportunity. Sad but true.

True Grazz.
They do say half of businesses go bankrupt in the first five years, makes you wonder what some industries are doing wrong? They're still far from a sure thing, even with these random price hikes to increase profit.
To add to Grazz's case, a year and a half ago I could fly to Sydney return for around $80 and now booking the same length of time in advance, I can manage $120 at best (and let me tell you it is rarely a best case scenario). I fly often (girlfriend lives interstate) and they've been creeping up the prices over the past 2 years and it is starting to get silly now

Damn. Normally fly to the coast and being the tourist trail, can get fairly decent prices.

When you're in a loaded elevator near the door, I always feel like it's polite to let the oldies and women out first even though you know as soon as you step out of the elevator that you'll overtake all of them in seconds. I mean when there's a fire evacuation the less mobile population is the last to leave. Can i start exiting elevators first? ???

Well, when there's a fire evacuation you shouldn't be using the elevator ;) If you're standing in front of the door, then leave first. I wouldn't say it's impolite to walk out first.
People who get salty so easy. Like there was this bloke on Twitter Friday night going for Hawks, he isn't even a Hawks supporter he goes for Crows so he hates Geelong because of Danger. Writing stuff after the game saying it was rigged, the Geelong players can all go die. Umpires were going for Geelong all night, they cheated. Literally anyone like this can get absolutely stuffed

Really grinding me that the Para Olympians are not getting the recognition they deserve. Olympians were all over front pages of newspapers but the para Olympians you have to look hard to find any.
There are none of the tantrums and pandering that occurs with Olympians and they should be recognised for what they have achieved in spite of their disabilities. Channel seven does not even show on main channel.
I have enjoyed watching when able and may I say congratulations to all Para Olympians and especially the Australian Para Olympians who will probably win more gold medals than what we did at the Olympics,
Interestingly the first 4 athletes in the visually impaired 1500 metres beat the time that won the event in the Olympics. Fair enough tactics involved in Olympics but well done.

What grind my gears:
The above comment with double standard on athletes.
Lebron James the best player in basketball left and came home.
Danger has become the best player in the comp and can do whatever he wanted, he did his time in Adelaide and then choose to leave.
The double standard comes from this, say im an accountant and i get my first job in a small firm but then have the opportunity to get a job i enjoy more and get a pay rise in a bigger company. if i take it isn't it the exact same thing as what athletes do, yet basically nobody has the same job they started with.
Yet when an athlete does it they are un-loyal or a coward.
question Tbag do you work for the first company you ever started with?

Don't know if this one has been posted before but the people that sit on 80 kph on country roads then when an overtaking lane comes up they speed up to 100-- 110 kph ... morons
This one of my pet hates especially with a mobile radar on the stretch >:( >:(
Yes very annoying and it does not have to be when there is an overtaking lane I had someone today on a straight stretch of road doing 80 I had to wait till it was clear of oncoming traffic and as soon as I started to overtake they sped up I had to go 115 to get past them
Did the Bris-Cairns drive last week, one person sitting on 90 then overtaking lane comes and my mum/dad/older sibling had to go up to 130km/h to overtake them >:(
ftfy
I was actually driving that bit :P
I think the idea of that 'FTFY' was to hide the fact that you may or may not have exceeded a limit ;) - blame someone else!

This one really grates on me the Petrol Price Cycle in Capital Cities.
Luckily I filled up yesterday with the price of E10 at 113.9 per litre same sevice station today selling E10 at 146.9 a price rise of 33cents per litre. This is ridiculous and someone must be raking in profits. In my humble opinion prices should be set when the tanker arrives and they are constant till next tanker fill that is prices adjusted each tanker fill.

100% agree. They just keep on getting away with it.

They slow down to a crawl blocking the lane for everybody else trying to merge straight away .... drive to the end of the flowering merge lane and merge properly >:( you go around them in the emergency lane and get back into the merge lane and end up 20 cars ahead of them, how hard can it be >:(
Clicking on afl.com.au and seeing AFLW ... not why I visit it... don't care....get your own shower website.
So huge college basketball fan, it's my number 1 sport. So since ESPN Australia had existed it tries to get you to use the Australian version. However if I keep my favourites the same as the US version nothing happens and it shows Australian shower sports like cricket and NRL then when I click on college basketball stuff it redirects back to the US version ffs

I hate this as well. I noticed it a while back but because I go through to the fantasy sites it just abandons the Aus version. The NBA Australia web page pisses me off the most, although the US site has just ruined their page anyway....

I have the opposite problem, especially on the app. They don't even put the scores on the main site, which is especially painful with slow internet.

Agree with KB here - have had a few myself tyo work out. AF is easy with the alpha numeric codes but distinguishing between SC and DT not easy if not in PM as you have to open both and see which one works. ;)

I am hearing that Australia is headed for a gas shortage which will push the price of electricity up along with blackouts when we export huge amounts of gas for really no profit , Qatar exports roughly the same amount of gas and receives about $26 billion in royalties we receive $800 million Japan is paying 65% less for gas than us and we supply them but now the government wants to destroy more farmland and peoples lives devalue there properties on fracking instead of growing a pair and cutting exports and charging more for the gas.
It is no wonder that our 2 party political system is becoming obsolete and people are turning to minor parties a bit like the yanks have done with Trump , our pollies are just so far from reality it is laughable but I'm not laughing >:(

Yep, there's no gas shortage, we just export about 3/4 of the gas we dig up. Fracking in NSW (which I'm against) wouldn't fix the problem because they'd just export all that gas as well.

Yep it's utter bullshower. Sick and tired of both Lab and Lib. Paying more for gas taken out of our own soil is bad enough, Fracking is worse, the evidence of the damage caused coming out of the US is alarming to say the least and to risk doing it around major agricultural belts is well to put it simply just plain stupid.

After GB whooped Aus' asses in the normal Olympics I didn't think Aussies had the heart to watch them get pounded in the Paralympics too ;)
Definitely should get more recognition though - these are fantastic athletes battling adversity, inspiring stuff
Absolutely, people who have to sacrifice everything just to compete! Athletes who NEVER get to perform at their highest level in their home town! People who travel the globe just to show how determined they are to compete at against the best!
EDIT: So then. What does that say about Paddy Dangerfield who ran back to his mummy because he could? HHmmmm
I Wonder what professional athletes across the globe, especially those who had to inch, claw and battle all the way far, far way from any remote existence of their family. Have to say about Paddy's homecoming?
What grind my gears:
The above comment with double standard on athletes.
Lebron James the best player in basketball left and came home.
Danger has become the best player in the comp and can do whatever he wanted, he did his time in Adelaide and then choose to leave.
The double standard comes from this, say im an accountant and i get my first job in a small firm but then have the opportunity to get a job i enjoy more and get a pay rise in a bigger company. if i take it isn't it the exact same thing as what athletes do, yet basically nobody has the same job they started with.
Yet when an athlete does it they are un-loyal or a coward.
question Tbag do you work for the first company you ever started with?
I hardly see Paddy moving to Geelong from Adelaide as a comparison from a person leaving their starting firm to a bigger firm. Given Adelaide FC is a bigger firm than the Geelong FC ???
No, I have never worked outside SA so .........
Did Paddy improve his pay? No, Did Paddy improve his Premiership aspirations? (Geelong minus Paddy of course Adelaide with him, when the sook left) No
He only left because of the scenery but guess what? I see that same scene at Mogs Creek every time I wake up in my wonderful Adelaide Hills
Therefore, Paddy is just a mummy's boy :o
Paddy D's what, 26? Time to make your own way in life son!

Agree with Jukes, you sort by price ;)

Yep, this is true.
Let's (not lets) use an example.
You're (you are) looking foolish for knowing the difference.
Your lack of understanding of the difference is very upsetting.
The latter is possessive, it really isn't that hard to understand and it gets genuinely annoying when people butcher it and get it wrong.
I'm sure you've all seen it before but it really does sum it up well...

I said I would rather great content worded poorly then poor content worded perfectly.
Obviously great content, worded perfectly is the best thing to do.
I have seen amazing content been nitpicked because of grammar and spelling at uni/school. While boring run of the mill content with perfect grammar and spelling get rewarded.
if your sitting an English exam then go at it with the grammar and spelling, if not who cares.
If you go into a panic attack when someone goes Could of instead of Could've then thats on you.
When people care more about the grammar then the actual content. this was saying when someone says something really interesting and a person doesn't address the content and picks up a spelling or grammar error instead.
But Holz, right now you're spilling rubbish and have poor grammar, so where does that put you? :P

What the??? Kids need to learn correct grammar, not be rewarded for making valid points with terrible English, every grammatical error should have marks deducted to get them ready for university/real life or you're just sending them to the wolves! I don't give a shower about grammar on a forum like this or someones FB update, but when it comes to professionalism, correct English is a must!

I agree but most people arent teachers. Bringing up gramatical errors is important just not on forums/texts or general chats which people do.
People shouldnt have an issue unless your a teacher or your in a professional envoronment.
On the teacher side id like more focus on grammar and sentence studies actually. Too much time was wasted on topics like gender studies in english class.
The whole thing started wirh a complaint about could of and could have. What grinds my gears is those peolple.
Im not saying grammar and spelling is not importamt.

Yeah agreed then. Found this description on Urban Dictionary. ;D
QuoteGrammar Nazi's are by far the most hated people on the internet. Due to the simple fact you know in daily life their ether absolute nobody or somebody with nobody.
So they feel they have to adjust spelling and grammar because they genuinely believe that spelling, and grammar is the only way to live.
I would love to say grammar Nazi's are similar to Trolls (see Trolls), However this is not the case. They actually do get angry at unreasonable grammar, Even though they seem to forget that planet earth is multicultural and English is not some peoples first second or third language. However Grammar Nazi's only usually speak one language English.
Grammar Nazi's can only be found on the internet This is due to their absolute coward ness outside the world wide web. If a grammar Nazi was to exist outside the internet there head would presumably explode this is because in the real world, most humans speak somewhat slang, and if a random grammar Nazi was to correct someone on the high street for example, they would get the hardest punch on the face they could possibly receive.
I actually agree with Holz here, and I can be a stickler for grammar sometimes.
If you're going to dedicate your time to something, it's much more beneficial for both parties to look at and judge what the person's actually saying, rather than whether or not they've spelt "you're" correctly.
Holz isn't saying that grammar isn't important.

Totally agreed.
I do quite substantial written documents at uni where I focus on my sentence structure and grammar extensively. Nothing showers me more when I make a FF post where I'm blazing away at a massive post (which I don't care to proof read), and the one mistake I make gets pulled up.
Strictly on the platforms of chat or a forum, I actually find pulling such things up quite rude. Unless it's totally necessary.

Agree 100% - Like Purps do not pay much attention at all when posting in forums etc as I think it is not necessary to get the point across whereas when writing papers, reports and reviews etc I pay strict attention to grammar and spelling often proof reading a couple of times to be sure.
Horses for Courses I say
I started this whole debate with my would've, could've, should've post... annoys the crap out of me... but I don't pick people up on it here as FF is a forum and people, usually adults, don't come on here for a grammar or spelling lesson but to get their POV across or seek advice.
This was an appropriate thread to bring it up.
I agree with Holz, content is important. The most important of the two on FF.
Spelling and grammar are important too as if posts are long or badly worded I won't bother too much with them.
Peevs me off probably more than most as I am a teacher. If people know how to spell and word things properly then they should.
We teach surface features (spelling, punctuation and grammar) and deeper features (description and content). Good writers need both.
I won't give anyone a lecture or hard time for saying "should of" but I will think they're uneducated.

FWIW incorrect grammar annoys me too, but not to the extent that I need to correct and call people out on it. I think it's pretty condescending when someone does that to someone else
I do think however that it does subconsciously go towards the way one member views another, rightly or wrongly

What grinds my gears? cows at work
A guy has hounded me all day to escalate an issue without telling me why we need to or why it has taken this long for him to contact me. He wanted me to deploy a patch in 2 days without testing it. Told him no chance flower off it takes atleast 6 business days as we have customers to think about. I escalated to another Project Manager and she tore him a new one.
Turns out he was getting favours from another team who had had enough of giving favours without anything in return. So he tried to escalate a release instead

13 billion dollars being wasted on the Murray Darling Basin with massive water thefts from cotton irrigators in NSW & Queensland.
NSW and Queensland care little about everyone south of them when it comes to water and it appears the NSW Gov has been complicit in the theft aborting any investigation into the theft of huge amounts of water disbanding the task force after evidence of water theft on a massive scale and that flowering meat head Barnaby Joyce calls the 4Corners report a beat up saying the Greens want to take more water from river communities.
What a crock of shower Barnaby it's about making sure river communities and the environment have water to survive. Investigators struggled to find irrigators with working meters to monitor the water taken through NSW and Queensland by irrigators, the NSW minister for water can't or won't say how many prosecutions have been issued. NSW Gov now behind closed doors wanting to go it alone of flower the MDB plan.
Incompetent flowerwitted politicians with hidden agendas grind my gears.
Why the hell we grow cotton or rice for that matter on this continent is beyond me, to many kickbacks to Government from wealthy cotton lobbyists is the only reason we still are because other than that there's little sense in growing cotton, it's not a product that there's a shortage of around the globe, plenty of countries suited to growing cotton doing it so why do we have this overwhelming need to do it.
ICAC need to have a long hard look at everyone from irrigators Gov Officials and ministers both State and Federal involved and prosecute / jail those guilty of offences.
Can you imagine what the money wasted so far could've done for Health care, schools and hospitals. I'm huge on the Murray Darling Basin plan it's vitally important we get this right because if we fail communities, businesses , farms etc etc along the MDB will be flowered and the cost of food in this country will skyrocket without even mentioning the cost to the environment which will be equally devastating.
I beg everyone who cares to have a look at the 4Corners episode in question and then act accordingly via social media if they feel strongly enough. The blatant waste of tax dollars with little rage from the politicians who should be enraged is infuriating to say the least and i'd like to know why ?

Sorry Grazz do not put Qld in there. Will elaborate on other facts later but Qld Irrigators are also complaining about their water buy backs being taken by NSW.
However agree with you as to why cotton and rice which are severely water reliant and water hungry are grown in the driest country on earth. Dollars and jobs seem to mean everything these days but where will we be in 20 years time with no water at all? Show some gonads and make the decisions now and investigate fully.
Sorry mate but Southern Queensland has a bit to answer for also. Kilometers of irrigation channels dug unapproved, lack of metering equipment in working order. Irrigators up and down the river in every state my own included need to put on notice, no longer will this go on unpunished. I should of pressed that Barnaby Joyce is the biggest problem in Queensland for other states involved in the MDB plan.
AG is looking into Barnaby Joyce's dept and their handling of it. Need ICAC to get involved looking at NSW. NSW basically have one minister in question investigating himself.
The MDB plan needs a separate body to police and investigate breaches. It can't be left to any one State to police itself if the MDB plan is to work as intended. NSW have shown they weren't willing to do anything about the thefts prior to the 4Corners story, hopefully that attitude changes quickly now they've been caught doing an appalling job of water management thus far. Corrupt is a strong word but it looks as if certain ministers have been walking very close to the line if not over it.
Agree wth all here.
As you say need an entirely independent body to monitor the MDB and investigate breaches. Should also be a mandatory requirement on irrigators to undertake annual checks on meters and keep records for verification and invoke fines if not done.
And to think noiw they are thinking of doing the same developments in the Kimberleys to grow cotton. Will we ever learn.

Sadly I doubt we will learn until it's probably to late mate.
The mandatory requirements you mention are already in place but being abused. If meters aren't working logbooks must be kept until the meter is repaired. Fines are applicable for these breaches. There are many regulations to abide by implemented by the MDB and it's vital these are adhered to to know how much water has been taken. Here lies the problem a large number irrigators simply are not following any of them without any consequences.
Burren Downs took 1billion of litres without metering or records, 3 times Burren Down have been caught taking water they were not permitted to take. Clyde cotton took 5 times their allotted amount. Not one meter found to be working along the Barwon/Darling river system investigators could find and when they pushed further north they began to become stifled in their investigations and slowly disbanded down to numbers that are useless for policing along such a large river system.
You would of thought many many fines and imprisonment but sadly very little to none considering the scale of breaches.

Just another example of weak government and people exploiting it they know they will only get a slap on the wrist even if anything is ever done this is so common in everything in this country and getting worse , our current politicians are a disgrace and really have no idea what they are doing if Australia was a company it would have been wound up a long time ago

Made a call to Centrelink to enquire why I had not received Health Care Card as all forms were uploaded.
After 96minutes on the phone got told needed an extra form to be uploaded. Apparently when in conjunction with Financial Advisor we rearranged super and lodged with new fund they need an exit statement from the previous fund to show we no longer have that income stream. It is obvious that funds have been rolled into new fund,
So have to get this upload ring on the line and wait in line to get actioned,

Holden asked for $160 million over ten years, The Gov is handing Adani $1 billion. Go figure.
Crazy stuff how many people did Holden employ ? other countries like Germany Sweden Italy France have viable car making industries why can't we all this talk of 10000 jobs with Adani is absolute rubbish most will probably be on 457 visas from India. The Adani brothers whole history is of hiding money and avoiding tax and they will do the same here if it goes ahead it would be simple to say that they pay so much per tonne that arrives at the terminal end of story don't pay and we shut you down but I am 100% our politicians will flower it up so we earn basically nothing for our coal just like our gas .
Not absolutely sure how many were employed at it's peak when we were running 3 shifts but at a guess numbers may of been around 2500-3000 employees. The greater loss is from those companies that were suppliers of parts etc to Holden's which could be around 10,000 or more. Alot of our suppliers were also running multiple shifts to keep up with production.
Will never understand the Gov's willingness and eagerness to do business with Adani, they have a shocking reputation for environmental damage and tax avoidance aswell as a list of other shonky business practices that absolutely should be causing alarm bells for the Federal Gov but they continue to defend their decision to proceed with Adani's plans for the mine. I don't get it.
16 million a year does seem a piddling amount of money for all those jobs ex pollies with there nose in the trough would spend more than that each year unfortunately all we can do about it is a protest vote at elections to try and stop the madness the current clowns have just wasted 50 billion on a NBN that will be obsolete before it's finished 5G out next year I think and that will obliterate the copper NBN they have just squandered billions on I'm on wireless broadband and get better speeds than some on the NBN already

Just imagine the savings if the government gave consumers reasonable rebates for Solar Installations and battery storage. Qld with the number of rooftop solar instalations is the equivalent of a power station. And just imagine what would happen if business premises especially warehouses were given incentives to install solar.

People who think "vibrate" and "silent" are the same flowering thing!
Its not just politicians and the political system that is failing, corporate business is in a similar position. Look at the profits the banks are making and they then come out stating they are cutting jobs for cost saving reasons. Or the salaries of the GMs of the big companies, yes they deserve to be paid well, but should they be getting 25-25 times more than a general worker who actually does the work.
Right now society is all about what is best for me, myself and I. There is no looking the future, no building rigorous structure, limited accountability at high level.
The workers are the ones who always get in trouble for mistakes, when in a lot of cases it is the manager who is paid more that is not doing their job effectively.

cause summer sucks and can be hard to sleep on hot days
I wouldn’t say I don’t like summer, but I’d much prefer winter. 15 and rainy over 35 and sunny for sure
And I’d much rather wear a jumper and jeans that make you feel warm than a t-shirt and shorts (that still make you feel too hot). Oh, and I have more great jumpers to wear than t-shirts :P
Plus, footy season

Just been down the M1 and all three lanes people doing only 80/90k when speed limit is 100k. 20 minute trip took half an hour and traffic did not appear the reason as when you got the chance to see far ahead lanes were clear. Very frustrating and happens most times on freeways.
Talking of driving as well the other thing that grinds my gears is sitting behind a vehicle that is cruising at 80/90 then when passing lanes comes up they speed up to 100.

probably because more cows are tailgating you.
I'm not going to lie, I slow down when conditions are bad, or if it's a really showerty road that I don't know well. When people sit up on my ass to be White Goodmans I slow down even more- partially because flower them, but also because if you're tailgating me I want any accident we have to be as slow as possible.
I'm sorry, but if we're going down a mountain in pissing rain when the sun's setting around hairpoint turns, I'm not going to be going over the limit no matter how close you sit up my ass.

That is not driving slow Ziplock that is driving to the conditions which we should all do. Do exactly the same and also leave 3 sec buffer between me and car in front in dry and 4-5sec in wet weather. Guys on the freeway love me as they cut in and out.

Not nice KB but a couple are regular requirements which we cannot avoid. Name and birthdate is mandatory in hospitals prior to being given medication and know it gets boring.
Others are the usual hospital fare but can understand frustrations after being there for so long,

depends who you are.
its not a difference for me. If somebody said they woke up at 8:30 am i would expect them to get out at bed at 8:30am or 8:31am.
if your telling someone when you got up in most instances its the actual getting out of bed that matters, unless your talking to your doctor about insomnia then any other medical condition and than that distinction is fine.
Definitely with Nige here. I usually do whatever on my phone for anywhere between 10 minutes (if I have somewhere to be) to an hour (if I'm not up to anything) between waking up and getting up before I get up. I'll even set my alarm early so I have enough time to go through my Youtube subs, FB notifications, messages, FF and BF, emails, discord etc - would rather do it in bed than do it when I'm out and use up data.

It's always been that way in SOO heavily biased commentary to NSW , in the first game at MCG a try to NSW in the second half was easily a FWD pass by at least 2 metres clear as day it's a wonder the refs allowed it but not a peep out of the commentary box if it was QLD they would be still bleating about it , also the same when the Storm play a NSW team ;)
Also, I'm over the media's love affair with Rance.
"The General, All-Australian Captain."
"The best defender in the comp."
"The best defender of our generation."
Etc.
Every time he does anything that you'd expect a key defender to do, it's like it's a super-human act.
So overrated it isn't even funny. He's good, but far from a standout. Tarrant, Talia, Andrews, McGovern, Grundy, Jonas, Hurley etc. are all just as good.
I dunno, maybe he does stuff that none of these guys do, but I don't see it.

So overrated it isn't even funny. He's good, but far from a standout. Tarrant, Talia, Andrews, McGovern, Grundy, Jonas, Hurley etc. are all just as good.
I dunno, maybe he does stuff that none of these guys do, but I don't see it.
Yeah I don’t understand it either
He’s obviously a great defender but still has weaknesses which commentators refuse to acknowledge. I remember Melksham kicked 4 on him when we played but everything was about how great Rance was all game.
I mean, even I agree to an extent but I can’t say I don’t love it. Although, it’s all offset by how much of an Adonis he is anyway.

Also, I'm over the media's love affair with Rance.
"The General, All-Australian Captain."
"The best defender in the comp."
"The best defender of our generation."
Etc.

he might not be the #1 defender every individual year but pretty much he has been in the top 5 defender every year for the last 7-8 years. Plus he has been All Australian the last 4 years straight and will likely make it to his 5th year in a row.
All those guys you mentioned you could put up a case are as good or possibly even slightly better for a individual year but nobody in my opinion comes close to him over a 5-8 year stretch, thats why he is the best defender of this generation.
Regarding that game against Melksham, the goals arent really that important given the Tigers won very easily and the thing about Rance is he just doesn't shut down his opponent and do nothing else.
The guy had 11 contested possessions at a very high efficiency 90%, picked up 8 marks, 4 R50s and then had 11 1%ers. I dont see much wrong in talking about the good stuff he did when his team won by 50 or so points.
Gov > Rance
The guy whacked watts on the back of the head whilst he was on the ground. Plenty of character reference right there, despite the commentators immediately saying "oh there's the sign of a guy who has tried his heart out for his club"
But, I guess we're just trying to knock "a great of the game"

I remember this and when it happened, all I could think about was how much of a dog act it was. No excuses.
He was in my SC team at the time, traded him and he has never since been, and never will be in any of my fantasy sides ever again.
When a player kicks 2.3 and the commentators say "if he didn't miss those set shots he would have kicked a bag". No, you can not predict what would have happened in an alternate outcome. Mabye it wouldn't have changed a thing. Mabye if the player kicked that earlier set shot he wouldn't have kicked the following goal that resulted in a clanger kick-in where his teammate hit him on the chest just 15 seconds later.
That goes for other sports too.

Mine is when a forward kicks 1.5 or the like and everyone says the defender did a great job keeping him to 1 goal. No he didn't, the forward kept himself to 1 goal.

Without doubt the most stupid rule ever created, and the penalty for the action is beyond ridiculous
I seriously hope they scrub that "rule" asap

+ 1 Here Last night think we seen it at its worst and not even consistently applied. Surely the rule can be applied to any player that interfere with play in the protected area will incur a 50 metre penalty.
Also hate the continuous changes to rules and intepratations. Looks like the last two weeks was HTB with the number of quick whistles blown.
Would like for at least one season for rules to be left alone. Already speculation now for next year on the easing of congestion.

I’ve been thinking about posting this here for a few weeks and now Jonathan Brown has said it for me ;)
As he says it’s pretty rampant through the league and occurs after missed set shots, free kicks given away and even after a player is simply outmarked by an opponent. What annoys me more about it is the main culprits are usually younger players and/or spuds ::)
Maybe I’m just turning into a grumpy old man :P
I'm sorry, but footy is just as much about having a mental edge as it is about having the physical tools to play the game. Sledging is going to basically get stamped out of the game more or less with players not knowing where the line is. Getting into the opposition over skill errors is probably the safest place sledge someone and to not cross the line.
I'd be more disappointed if the boys didn't get into them. It's at least showing they give a crap about what's going on out there even if they are terrible right now. You need to stay mentally engaged for the rest of the season and at 1-16 it's pretty easy to just go through the motions.

some guy calling all in for 3/4 of his buy in with a gut shot straight draw and getting there
Washing machine wouldn't spin.
Called the local and only servicemen to come and fix it.
Broken they said. Drum has come away. Need a new one. 2-3 minute visit tops.
$82.50 house call.
I'm in the wrong job.
You are lucky only 82.50 for call out. Plumbing is where it is at. Had a broken pipe and admittedly it was a weekend but call out fee was $150 and then $75 per hour.
I can't believe it. It's just wrong on so many levels.
No service or fix. No effort really but there's a sting regardless.
Then to buy a new front loading washing machine on top. Ouch.
Oh well. It lasted 10 years or so. To be expected but it doesn't ease the pain any.
As for the plumbers, last time we had to call one was on a Sunday as well. >:(
seems standard any call out jobs are expensive
