Re: Pet Peeves?
I remember flying into Japan and was driven straight to the factory I was visiting. I had to take a leak and they pointed me to the bathroom. Behind the door was the hole in the ground, my wallet almost dropped in the hole when it fell out of my pocket. I told the resident English guy about my experience and he said " you should have used the next bloody door down , that's got the western style toilet."

A moose, well that's going to right you off if you're lucky...and you're lucky if it's only 500 pounder
Saying that, FIL's pick up wasn't written off a few years ago, but then at the time it was 2 weeks old. A month after he got it back and a moose hit the other side, then they wrote it off

Re: Pet Peeves?
So we're getting flyers with really awesome sale items for a grocery store. Looks great.
But they haven't opened the stupid new store yet, it's not opening till mid spring...so they can bugger off with this teasing.
Arses.

Re: Pet Peeves?
Weather hotlines.
The missus has one for work, to say if they're going to open late or close.
No point to it though because they don't update the thing until it's to late. What's the point in finding out they're allowing a late opening when you've spent the best part of an hour and a half clearing the snow to clear the drive to get out.
End up being way late anyway because there are so many stuck/crashed cars along the way because the roads are so filty.
Bonus for not being able to get into the work car park because the plough guy never showed up.
Speaking of, I love how the plough guy that cleared the neighbours drive way just pushed their roadside snow bank in front of our drive way. Because I love to shovel out an extra ton of snow.
These people, right now, are on par with people who rape babies in their eye sockets.
