That bloke with the funny voice who does the Countdown food commercials really irritates me. I've heard him on the tapes in Countdown as well, where I go very, very occasionally, and he drives you nuts in there as well.

Stupid roads that don't continue in the most sensible or logical manner and are not signposted to tell you which direction to follow. 
You'll be tootling along following the road in front of you, not having obviously changed roads, nor turned left or right to find that the road you are on has changed name and the one you were meant to be on threw a left or right turn at a junction some way back.
Is it really any wonder why people make random and unexpected driving manoeuvres when the road layouts and signage are such absolute crap?

I wonder what exactly is his claim to fame is, other than being a dork on Countdown adverts. He once had a series on TV cooking Kiwi classics such as Munce on Toast, in the homes of some old dears.

Lets share some of the lurve for Richard Till - Munce

The winner of the award for the number of times can you say Munce in one advert competition.

How people speed up and take great risks driving super fast at the passing lanes, to jostle for positions and get one place in front of the car that was stuck in a long queue behind all the other cars that are stuck behind the logging truck

Re: Things that annoy you about NZ but aren't really that important!
Its official. A report came out this week how shite kiwi drivers are. Must say its my biggest gripe and I hate them for it. Never ever in any country that I have traversed have I come across so many stupid, arrogant, selfish, dangerous, unskilled, gormless drivers. Apparently Weds AM around 9am is the worst time for the hapless twats. That is when most collisions happen.
