In no particular order:

- Excessively loud people
- Bad spelling/punctuation/grammar
- People who don't get irony
- Political correctness
- People
- Overly familiar strangers
- People who use all the bog roll and don't replace it
- Arse-lickers
- People who quote a 35 line post and respond with ":thumbsup:" or the like. Such creativity.
- Prudishness
- Nosiness
- Republicans
- Self righteousness
- The fact that somebody will be pissed off by this post and will get all uppity and point out how horrible I am et cetera. It'll happen - mark my words.

That's a non-exhaustive list, actually. I'm a bastard and I like it :p

$80.00??? What kind of car do you have?

It's never more than $30.00 for me down at the dealer. Which reminds me, I need one this weekend ...

Wow. I'm lucky. Maybe it is the fact that you can't swing a dead cat 'round your head in my town without hitting a 'lube pro' place, the dealers can be competitive.

I had one done in pep-boys when I was getting new tyres as well though, and I think they only charged $20.00, which was nice considering I was spending $265.00 on tyres :lol:

You don't do it yourself?? It's a lot cheaper you know, and simple enough that even I have done it before under the instruction of my main man. Oil and new filter cost a lot less if you do it yourself..

Car battery registering a whopping 70 crank amps...when the car needs 500 in a cold start....and it's supposed to put out 590.....and being one month past the replacement warranty....exactly a month come Monday.

Someone using my tea mug for anything other than tea...and dropping it, it's metal, but now it's wonky and won't stand up straight.

That eeking dishwasher, again...what is the point of rinse aid anyone? I really could have just put the dishes in the toilet, taken a gigantic shit, flushed and still ended up with cleaner looking dishes.

But, would they actually have been cleaner, or just looked cleaner?

Canned food....that can't quite stack properly....even worse when they're empty and you can't slide them into other cans, so taking up a huge amount of space in the recycling bin.

Oh, for god's sake.. just take BOTH ends off, put both ends inside the can, then carefully tread on it till it's a nice flat package..

Saab 95, stupid Aero has the oil pan over the cat convertor, so it needs synthetic oil or it sludges, which is what blew out our head gaskets the last time.
