people who feel the need to troll every expat forum known to man because they are bitter and sad. However, you seem to have left off that option

Definitely isolation.
The first 6 pissed me off just as much in the UK
And the middle 3 I actually quite like.

Re: What is it about Oz that shits you to tears?
Let me answer this one without a poll:
Utility companies treating you like scum Apart from a row with Vodafone/Telstra, I have never been treated like scum by any other company
supermarkets running a monopoly Doesnt annoy me, husband is a chef and manages meal planning and shopping quite happily
Banks taking this piss with charges etcIf we keep our account in a certain amount of credit, there are no charges and if not, they are not that much
everything is so bloody expensive! deal with it, you dont live in England, you live here - just adapt to your finances and quit comparing
crap TV Only have a few fav programs, so dont live my life around it
real estate agents Not had a bad experience with the two companies we have used, quite the opposite, got our deposit back within days
sausage sizzles No they dont annoy me, the ones Bunnings have near us does it to raise funds, far better than a pub lunch where noone benefits except yourself and perhaps your liver
thongs/slippers/bare feet instead of shoes OUTSIDE who honestly gives a flying shit about that, I mean really - do you get THAT annoyed on the subject? Having watched the events of QLD unfold in front of our eyes, QLDers mucking in to help one another in times of crisis and you worry about what people wear on their feet?
living amongst Australians...(joke!)
isolation from the civilised world quite easy really, move. If you cant move then make the best out of what you have and be grateful for it
