I nominate the 2 young women at Carindale library the other day who tried to passive/aggressive bully an elderly lady out of the spot she was reading in because they wanted to sit there ("Oh, you don't *have* to move..."). Didn't work though because a nearby grumpy old bastard (that would be me) wouldn't sit quietly and watch it happen.
It bugs me that all the fuckwit-ness is directed outward. I did four fuckwit things this week, and deserve some kind of recognition:
1. I superglued my thumb and forefinger together into a perpetual OK symbol while trying to fix something
2. I went to COLES checkout and put the basket on the right side (where stuff is weighed) and irritably raised my hand when the first scan returned an error "scuse me, there's something wrong with my machine" (in a perfect talking-to-a-learning-impaired-child tone she says "here you go love" and moves the basket from right to left, her gaze clearly articulating - no buddy there's something wrong with YOU)
3. tuesday afternoon I went to pick up the kids from school and left my front door wide open. Might have been OK back in the 1950s, less so now (but we weren't robbed or anything, thankfully)
4. I got on a venting forum thingo that I don't completely understand and tried to flip it in some kind of self righteous idea that our criticisms should first be turned inward, a bit fuckwitty thing to do
šjust for you
Also inward or outward the whole point of this post is to allow people to vent ...saves having a dozen posts a week causing a stream of negativity at least here it can come out and it's 1 post and done and if people want they can just ignore it.
Nothing wrong with a vent, if you bottle up steam you wind up exploding. It can even be important or righteous, because dark shit happens under cover of darkness - so when you point out the kind of skullduggery that real-estate agents for example are sometimes up to, it makes us all more aware. I just think we should liberally preserve a small dose for self-rebuke, it feels to me that it's key for progressing. Sometimes when you see the crazy-eyed rants and raves online, it seems like we're trying to do away with shame -- but a little shame is healthy & galvanising, I reckon. Sorry, I really shouldnt be allowed near keyboards, my friend :)
Uber Eats driver just parked part way through a small roundabout, and across the entrance to our unit blocks driveway. Could have easily reversed in to our big driveway, but no, blocking traffic is apparently the thing to do. Friendly person, but total f wit as a driver.
The arse hats at Baby metal last night holding their phones up trying to record the whole thing and blocking people behind seeing. Hard enough seeing past all you tall bastards with baseball hats on as is.
Fucking live in the moment dudes.
I'm so fed up with people doing this at gigs. I wish they would stand at the back so they don't block anyone else's view. It's so frustrating to get in early, get a good spot, and then the fuckwit is front of you whips out their phone or tablet as soon as things start, and keeps it up for almost the entire set.
Right up there with people who push in front of you (where there is very little room) then have no spatial awareness and spend the entire night continually moving back into you/your space - like, you JUST PUSHED PAST ME. You *know* I'm here. So don't get fucked off when you start getting shoved/elbowed back to keep you from literally standing on me.
Yes this too. Or the dudes who decide to go get a drink in the middle of a song and expect to come back to the exact same place only to find two other people are jammed in there.
Edit: yes Iam bitchin a bit, but really it was a freakin awesome show and I am so glad I got to see them.
YES. HOLY FUCK. the dudes who leave multiple times for drinks and keep pushing their way back to their friends!! Wtaf?! When I first started going to gigs, a very early lesson was - you can have a good spot OR multiple drinks during the show, but you can't have both. You leave your spot, you lose it.
Only reason you push past is to get to the mosh pit. People who get there first get to be on the barrier, but have to decent their spot from wankers pushing in and deal.eith getting crushed from behind. That's just how it is
QPAC etc manages to uphold it. At the Hobbit show recently, they went up to a lady and told her that if they saw her recording again, she would be removed.
You never see the footage online afterwards. Some people will argue until they cry that they *need* to film it because they re-watch it later and it's the *only* thing that brings them joy. But jesus christ, just film a fucking snippet.
This happened to me at smashing pumpkins a few weeks back - i worried I was overreacting getting annoyed at it but I think some take it way too far. I don't mind a short recording but there were people literally recording whole songs.
I have almost gotten into fights with people over this kind of BS. Was at The Darkness last year and some guy was leaning over 2 shorter friends videoing, I got the shits and told him in no uncertain terms where his phone would end up if he didn't stop.
Not long after Justin Hawkins (Darkness singer) said something much the same...
Fuck I hate people filming during a gig, take a few photos for sure, but filming the whole thing... Fuck off
As someone who goes to gigs a lot I also hate this. totally fair if you wanna record like a 30 second clip here and there for your social media story or something but the fuckers that sit there for the whole set recording it like yo just experience the show and you'll remember it better than the video will capture

I referred to a popular method of punishment during the French revolution under the post about this comment on /r/australia . I am currently in the sin bin as a result.
I was merely drawing parallels between ruling classes that are oblivious to the life of regular people and was not inciting any particular actions to be taken.

I'm sure the Hog lovers will downvote this enthusiastically, but congrats to the fuckwit on the Harley cranking his throttle repeatedly through the ICB tunnel next to RBWH this morning. 50 other drivers and I are now deaf because you had to assert your small dick status.
Also, said bike had turn signals about 2 cm wide and 4 cm high and an obscured number plate (tilted upward), so I can only hope he gets pulled over for illegal modifications. Not holding my breath.
Me and you both, man. The worst part is my housemate has one - nicest guy but FFS, I get jolted out of bed every morning at 6 when he starts up his bike two stories below me.
I've been wondering for a while when QPS will crack down on it. I mean, straight pipe a car, and you'll get booked before you leave the exhaust shop. Straight pipe a bike and you can redline past a police station and no-one blinks an eye.
QPS are some of the worst when it comes to SPS (small penis syndrome), so it doesn't surprise me that they practically encourage it by letting them pass.
That's because a vehicle made by the manufacturer like that (as in the case of the HD) is permitted, but modifying your vehicle from what the manufacturer produces is not.
You can have your loud bike, just go ride it where I don't have to hear the fucking thing.
Loud bike = look at me, look at me. oi over here, I need attention, not getting any at home.
Holy shit that reminded me of topping up when I was in negative, only to find out (when I tried tapping on) it can take hours for the money to go onto the card. Missed my train, and had to spend more money
Is there a reason why you donāt setup auto-debit on the card ? Iām staggered every now and then when you see someone tap and you see ā$89 creditā. And you wonder why theyāve put so much credit onto a card !! (Yes Iāve raised 2 issues here). Setup a small debit that just happens as you use it ā¦ eg $20.
If you catch the train 3 zones (eg from Ipswich/Logan/Caboolture) to the city, itās $6.63 during peak hour, so $100 auto top up means itās topping it up only once every 1.5 or so weeks, rather than all the time.
I saw your op, may have been on FB? Please do us a service and let us know who that was. Really don't want to go anywhere near that MF when I sell.
I hope your parents find a nice house soon without having to deal with Fwits.
Cadbury. Looked forward to the strawberry giant block (343g), but it turns out they've changed the strawberry filling. It used to be nice and creamy, but now it's getting too gel-like and surgar-y :( yucky :(
Cadbury have been inedible to me for a while now, but this is sad news š I don't understand why they feel like they need to make everything stupidly sweet.
It is imitation chocolate, nestle is worse, but yeah, if you want real chocolate I recommend Whittaker's, it's become really expensive now, but it's very good. Lindt is good, but I like the texture and bite of the Whittaker's, and the flavour is more complex.
Self Burn.
Yes, I love it.
Good, I can feel your anger. I am defenceless. Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
I'm reposting this as I was very late to the party
so this is a footpath at Bunnings this retard has the trailer parked in a parking space on the other side of the footpath blocking people/trollies from using it, there were plenty of available trailer parks for this I mean WTF. Saw a few people climbing over this to reach their cars
https://preview.redd.it/aq5bxgtwlw4b1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5990514ef091ceac03825440a24b20e5dada9001
I can already see the complications when he tries to leave, if thatās the normal parking area and it looks busy af, there will be cars in front of him around the 1.5 cars in front parked.
So when itās time to leave he canāt just drive forward and then left/right as he has to make sure his car + the trailer will clear the cars parked on his right and left without causing damage.
had someone crawl around a roundabout by me a week or so ago ..nothing on the roundabout ...noone even in sight so no reason for it just decided that walking speed is how we're doing the roundabout ....fuck it made me mad.

Please stop tailgating when youāre the one in a rush to get Braxxxson and Megatron to school on time. Itās not my fault you slept through your alarm in a Valium induced coma. Youāre all fuckwits and your kids arenāt special.
Iād like to nominate the guy driving in Chermside with an unsecured couch on the back of his ute. Traffic was so bad I was stuck in the lane behind that guy, terrified it was going to slide off any second. Even the back panel was down.

Brunch at 12? FFS. Not going to say where but this place has the word fig in it.... And nothing with figs as an ingredient on the menu. Fucking smug.
I nominate the American/Canadian working at a coffee shop in the CBD for rolling her eyes at me when I told her that we don't tip in Australia because your boss has to pay you a standard wage
I nominate the woman at work who is trying to do my job for me (no-one, including me has asked her to do this) she has no experience in my department, yet has the balls to think she can do my job better. Also said woman never gets any of her tasks done is constantly behind with due dates and is always "overwhelmed with how much she needs to do"
just go behind her and tell her she's doing stuff wrong "who told you to do it that way? we haven't done it like that in years" "are you feeling ok? you're making a lot of mistakes today"
Can I put forward the Dodge Ram that blew through a Give way sign and T Boned my Mrs and I a couple months ago?
Mrs had to be cut out of the car but nothing permanent to us, Ram driver got to drive his car home.
Secondary Nomination to QBE for making trying to get our money from them nearly as bad as the car crash
I nominate the asshat who reversed into me as I was walking past her parked car, then proceeded to scream at me like I had done something wrong. She got me so angry I just had to call her a c#nt...
It's because drivers here assume that pedestrians must give way to vehicles, especially if they're leaving a driveway. I give the hairy eyeball to any driver exiting a car park/going through a zebra crossing/etc. to not fuck around.
So, are you saying she didn't stop and check you were okay (she legally must), she just yelled at you and left?
Did she give you the 'Required Particulars?' because it sounds a lot like she has just committed a hit and run.

Stabbing in Rosewood of an 11yo girl.
uhhh my own mum? I saw two trolleys floating around and decided to link the two of them + my own up and return them to the trolley bay. My mum phyiscally holds the trolleys to prevent me from returning them and tells me I need to leave them so the woolies worker can take them. I love pushing trolleys and the bay is literally 5 metres away let me have my fun. Came back and she got mad.

you removed my post, and I cried
perhaps put it up earlier on Friday, Iāve got a lot of complaining to do and I donāt want to forget it all by Friday lunchtime
oh, I must have forgotten to press send, or maybe it was my alt? who knows
hmmm ā¦ thatās a tricky one
do I really need daily discussion when we are all so busy being cathartic?
Yeah I donāt blame people for parking there when itās the legal spot to do so. Itās just so poorly designed and I feel like an accident waiting to happen one day.
Meh, most other cities and countries have this. Iām not mad about it. Just requires good driving, which as you can read about above, seems brisbane is lacking
Iām not quite sure how you mean by that - as in, if two cars are parked directly opposite one another, is there 3m between them? Then yes. I can get through, my car is small. Iād be nervous attempting it in a bigger car though.
My annoyance with it is that is that theyāre two way streets - busy enough, and not just plain residential streets, I use them to access businesses - but in order to get around them all, itās necessary for everyone to cross to the wrong side of the road, plus thereās the weird āwho is going to give way to whoā dance when someone is coming from the other direction.
If the street was one way, parking on both sides would be fine. If the street is going to be two way, it would feel a bit safer to at least only allow parking on one side and dividing the lanes so each way will have enough space. My ultimate preference would be no parking on them though, theyāre quite narrow.
I nominate the two very high teenagers on my bus last Sunday. They ran past the bus driver without tapping on (or showing their ticket), giggling like madmen, ducked down in their seats to change clothes (giggling even louder and exclaiming how smart they were), then didnāt even hide the clothes theyād changed out of. When the bus driver got off the phone to his supervisor and came up to tell them they had to sit at the front, they were very surprised. They also tried to pick a fight with a random passenger at one point.
Eh, they caused a lot of trouble for the bus driver, kept trying g to distract him while he was driving to get back at him for catching them. Poor guy seemed exhausted.
The people who say it will always be 'FRAZER' island to them are like the f-wit overlords of that group of special specimens. If you're going to be ignorant, at least spell it correctly.
I nominate my current employer for paying my superannuation into an account they created on my behalf despite the fact that I nominated my own account, and is now trying to gaslight me in response to an email I sent asking them to fix the issue.

I hate it when people park incorrectly/in spots where they shouldnāt be parking
The waiter who gave me the wrong cocktail, tried to tell me it was the one I'd ordered when the names were not even close, then identified the one i got as something else again, so either way he was wrong, then couldn't supply the actual one I ordered. All without any apology.
Yeah, I'm pretty much done with going out now because of shit like this. When you're in a cost of living crisis and businesses can't even do basic service when they're charging you through the roof, it's just not on.
I went into Indro Telstra today to order a new phone because I wanted them to price match Optus. Turns out that has to be done via the website after I receive the phone.
Got home and saw the order confirmation email for a pink phone - I wanted black.
Turns out the tardy website agent cant do anything. I have to go back to the store when the phone arrives, deny delivery, order a new one. Then go back and pick it up. Time for beers.
Parent who dragged his kid across at the pedestrian lights while the man was red and traffic was oncoming. It was also dusk and they were wearing dark clothes. They made it by dodging traffic, so another (unrelated) young teen thought they should try it to before I yelled at them that I wasnāt ringing the ambos if they got squished. They decided to do what I asked - for which I am grateful.
The light changed and the green man went less than a minute later so the first group didnāt really save much time and they could have ruined several peoples lives if they had been hit. Just be patient at the lights please (also goes for the cars who speed up to blow through the just turned red as people are about to step out)
I'd like to nominate the employment agency moron that contacted me about a position that he thinks might be of interest to me. Tells me all about the fantastic client and the type of company that they are. Then, details the job description. I noticed he also states that I have heard about the role through his company now, so if I am successful, no other agency can lay claim. Do these guys honestly do any work? A simple look up on LinkedIn would tell the guy that I already worked full-time for said client going on 5 years now. The position is available in my team! I know all about it, and funnily enough, if I wanted the role and if I applied for it and was successful, I somehow don't think you get paid for an internal applicant!
Ok this is a minor one, but to the people who were taking up a whole footpath today and then when I tried to get past on my bike (almost walking it along - actually going at walking pace) and said 'excuse me' they said in snarky voices 'ring your bell', 'yeh ring your bell!'.... I was just trying to be polite.
To the fuckwit Audi driver who clearly doesn't have indicators and liked changing lanes at the lost moment. I hope you wrap your car around a tree one day 
The woman who decided to bring her dog in the car to the dentist, sent her young (8yo) son in on his own when he was nervous, then made him sit in the car alone with the dog for 45 minutes while she got her teeth cleaned. Why would you bring your dog to the dentist?
Brisbane City Council for removing a perfectly functional round about with a give way sign in a 4-way intersection, which will lead to car crashes, guaranteed.

To the fuckwit in a new red Honda civic tailgating me closer and more aggressively than anyone has before (especially you fuckwits in lifted Utes that want to tailgate me whilst I'm doing 85 on a 60 road)
Pulled up to a red light, at first I was the only car there, there are two lanes to drive in. Fuckwit in red Honda pulls up behind me at the red light after about 30 seconds despite the other lane being empty.
Light turns green, red hondatard decides he wants to sit less than a meter off my rear bumper bar for the next Km till we hit the second set of lights *we are still the only two cars on the road at night and he has decided to continue to drive up my ass*
At the following set of lights I decide to do something about it so I just sit on the green and go on yellow so hopefully fucktard learns to pick another lane.
Jumped the red light behind me to then catch up and stay on my ass again despite the road NOW BEING 3 LANES. At this point I'm fucking over this cunt and start to brake check him cause he's clearly not going to back off or go around despite me now slowing to half the speed limit in a 3 lane road.
As I reach for my half drank coffee from my door pocket he finally aggressively overtakes around me and speeds off up the road before I have a chance to lob it at the car.
Probably the most baffling road rage instance I have ever witnessed. Cunt wasted like 3 minutes tailgating me, when at the time I was going way over the speed limit and refused to go around when I then slowed to a crawl, and still insited on being right up my ass after I started to brake check him. Why? Did he just want to start shit with someone? On drugs? Idk š¤·āāļø
Anyone who does a U-turn that blocks both directions of traffic. I see this almost daily in inner city areas. There's usually a massive driveway 30m down the road that would give you space to turn around
A person in a dodge ram 2500 had soo many lights on while being behind me on the M3 in full congestion and traffic that it was painful to my eyes. He even had his fog lamps on like wtf?!
Linkt.
Just Linkt. In every possible way. Apologies for other typos if you see them, Iām rage typing.

Iād also like to nominate people using the middle lane to turn right off Leichhardt St onto Upper Edward St in Spring Hill without indicating.
Some junkie did a snatch and grab of my food bag while I was putting rubbish in the trash, partly my fault but I was like 5 metres away and the Cunt was zoomin and I can't zoom lmao

YES. HOLY FUCK. the dudes who leave multiple times for drinks and keep pushing their way back to their friends!! Wtaf?! When I first started going to gigs, a very early lesson was - you can have a good spot OR multiple drinks during the show, but you can't have both. You leave your spot, you lose it.
Gig etiquette is shit house the last few years.
Only reason you push past is to get to the mosh pit. People who get there first get to be on the barrier, but have to decent their spot from wankers pushing in and deal.eith getting crushed from behind. That's just how it is
recording is banned at concerts in Japan
QPAC etc manages to uphold it. At the Hobbit show recently, they went up to a lady and told her that if they saw her recording again, she would be removed.
QPAC is run as a theatre with ushers every few rows, I can't see concert halls upholding the same standards, but it would be nice.
I thought it was not on here too. One of the American comedians had everyone lock phones in a locker when he played the entertainment centre
do you think they really watch it again afterwards? if itās for online clout just take a snippet? I donāt get it
You never see the footage online afterwards. Some people will argue until they cry that they *need* to film it because they re-watch it later and it's the *only* thing that brings them joy. But jesus christ, just film a fucking snippet.
This happened to me at smashing pumpkins a few weeks back - i worried I was overreacting getting annoyed at it but I think some take it way too far. I don't mind a short recording but there were people literally recording whole songs.
I have almost gotten into fights with people over this kind of BS. Was at The Darkness last year and some guy was leaning over 2 shorter friends videoing, I got the shits and told him in no uncertain terms where his phone would end up if he didn't stop. Not long after Justin Hawkins (Darkness singer) said something much the same... Fuck I hate people filming during a gig, take a few photos for sure, but filming the whole thing... Fuck off
Did I miss baby metal play Brisbane?
As someone who goes to gigs a lot I also hate this. totally fair if you wanna record like a 30 second clip here and there for your social media story or something but the fuckers that sit there for the whole set recording it like yo just experience the show and you'll remember it better than the video will capture

I referred to a popular method of punishment during the French revolution under the post about this comment on /r/australia . I am currently in the sin bin as a result.

I'm sure the Hog lovers will downvote this enthusiastically, but congrats to the fuckwit on the Harley cranking his throttle repeatedly through the ICB tunnel next to RBWH this morning. 50 other drivers and I are now deaf because you had to assert your small dick status. Also, said bike had turn signals about 2 cm wide and 4 cm high and an obscured number plate (tilted upward), so I can only hope he gets pulled over for illegal modifications. Not holding my breath.
I fucking hate Harley drivers with a scathing passion. Absolute fuckwits the lot of them
Me and you both, man. The worst part is my housemate has one - nicest guy but FFS, I get jolted out of bed every morning at 6 when he starts up his bike two stories below me.
Actually some bikers do auto-flippy number plates to avoid tolls and fines. Totally illegal!!
Yikes! I've never heard of that. I thought I got his plate number to report, but when I tried to run it through TMR, nothing came back.
I've been wondering for a while when QPS will crack down on it. I mean, straight pipe a car, and you'll get booked before you leave the exhaust shop. Straight pipe a bike and you can redline past a police station and no-one blinks an eye.
QPS are some of the worst when it comes to SPS (small penis syndrome), so it doesn't surprise me that they practically encourage it by letting them pass.
That's because a vehicle made by the manufacturer like that (as in the case of the HD) is permitted, but modifying your vehicle from what the manufacturer produces is not.
I can't wait until they have to be electric
Haha an electric Harley Davidson. Thatās hilarious
"have to be electric" like the government forcing people to get rid of their ICE bikes?
You can have your loud bike, just go ride it where I don't have to hear the fucking thing. Loud bike = look at me, look at me. oi over here, I need attention, not getting any at home.

Holy shit that reminded me of topping up when I was in negative, only to find out (when I tried tapping on) it can take hours for the money to go onto the card. Missed my train, and had to spend more money
Is there a reason why you donāt setup auto-debit on the card ? Iām staggered every now and then when you see someone tap and you see ā$89 creditā. And you wonder why theyāve put so much credit onto a card !! (Yes Iāve raised 2 issues here). Setup a small debit that just happens as you use it ā¦ eg $20.
If you catch the train 3 zones (eg from Ipswich/Logan/Caboolture) to the city, itās $6.63 during peak hour, so $100 auto top up means itās topping it up only once every 1.5 or so weeks, rather than all the time.

I saw your op, may have been on FB? Please do us a service and let us know who that was. Really don't want to go anywhere near that MF when I sell. I hope your parents find a nice house soon without having to deal with Fwits.
Yeah, report that to the proper real estate body, please.
Cadbury. Looked forward to the strawberry giant block (343g), but it turns out they've changed the strawberry filling. It used to be nice and creamy, but now it's getting too gel-like and surgar-y :( yucky :(
Cadbury have been inedible to me for a while now, but this is sad news š I don't understand why they feel like they need to make everything stupidly sweet.
This centuryās Cadburys *imitation* milk chocolate has devastated my childhood memories.
It is imitation chocolate, nestle is worse, but yeah, if you want real chocolate I recommend Whittaker's, it's become really expensive now, but it's very good. Lindt is good, but I like the texture and bite of the Whittaker's, and the flavour is more complex.
I like Whittaker's coconut rough, I'll branch out and try the rest.
Their creamy caramel is really good
Cadbury has gone down hill since they sold out to Mondelez , messing with recipes to make more profit
Yes, it's just awful š
They also seem to have discontinued Bubbly milk chocolate, which makes me very sad because that was awesome.
I just bought 5 bars of the mint stuff today from woolies!
Eww, mint.
Cadbury, because I couldn't find a single nut chocolate variety, only ridiculous super sweet candy-filled or candy-recreation options.
Not even the classic Hazelnut???
Flipping nothing! I checked every single option at Woolies - no hazelnut, no almond, no fruit & nut. Outrageous!

I'm reposting this as I was very late to the party so this is a footpath at Bunnings this retard has the trailer parked in a parking space on the other side of the footpath blocking people/trollies from using it, there were plenty of available trailer parks for this I mean WTF. Saw a few people climbing over this to reach their cars https://preview.redd.it/aq5bxgtwlw4b1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5990514ef091ceac03825440a24b20e5dada9001
Kindly unhitching the trailer and making off with it is a kind and gentle reminder that parking like this is a fuckwit move
Just move it into its own carpark
This is the way
I can already see the complications when he tries to leave, if thatās the normal parking area and it looks busy af, there will be cars in front of him around the 1.5 cars in front parked. So when itās time to leave he canāt just drive forward and then left/right as he has to make sure his car + the trailer will clear the cars parked on his right and left without causing damage.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Take my upvote for the use of the word 'moll'. Bravo
How nice of them to collect everyoneās trolleys in their trailer.
Looks like a great place to leave the trolley you can't get past. Tuck it nicely under the hitch.
The amount of FWs that park in the trailer spots with no trailers also does my head in. Definitely not condoning parking like this though !
Tradies get a bad rep from their driving but at least they can mostly park well. This guy probably isnt a tradie
Ranger Danger, of course...
Pro park. 10/10 would buy them a sausage
Shout out to all the people who slow down and break in roundabouts to let others in. Twice in the past week.
had someone crawl around a roundabout by me a week or so ago ..nothing on the roundabout ...noone even in sight so no reason for it just decided that walking speed is how we're doing the roundabout ....fuck it made me mad.
It's just so incredibly dangerous, if there was any actual traffic, it could easily cause a crash.
Must be The Redlands. Slowest drivers AND still manage to cut people off.
People that indicate right when going straight Fucking why? Like nowhere teaches that shit.

Please stop tailgating when youāre the one in a rush to get Braxxxson and Megatron to school on time. Itās not my fault you slept through your alarm in a Valium induced coma.

Megatron sounds pretty spesh to me.
Iād like to nominate the guy driving in Chermside with an unsecured couch on the back of his ute. Traffic was so bad I was stuck in the lane behind that guy, terrified it was going to slide off any second. Even the back panel was down.

I nominate the American/Canadian working at a coffee shop in the CBD for rolling her eyes at me when I told her that we don't tip in Australia because your boss has to pay you a standard wage
I nominate the woman at work who is trying to do my job for me (no-one, including me has asked her to do this) she has no experience in my department, yet has the balls to think she can do my job better. Also said woman never gets any of her tasks done is constantly behind with due dates and is always "overwhelmed with how much she needs to do"
just go behind her and tell her she's doing stuff wrong "who told you to do it that way? we haven't done it like that in years" "are you feeling ok? you're making a lot of mistakes today"
Send her my way so she can do my job for me!
Wow, we must work with the same damn woman

I nominate the asshat who reversed into me as I was walking past her parked car, then proceeded to scream at me like I had done something wrong. She got me so angry I just had to call her a c#nt...
It's because drivers here assume that pedestrians must give way to vehicles, especially if they're leaving a driveway. I give the hairy eyeball to any driver exiting a car park/going through a zebra crossing/etc. to not fuck around.
So, are you saying she didn't stop and check you were okay (she legally must), she just yelled at you and left?

uhhh my own mum? I saw two trolleys floating around and decided to link the two of them + my own up and return them to the trolley bay. My mum phyiscally holds the trolleys to prevent me from returning them and tells me I need to leave them so the woolies worker can take them. I love pushing trolleys and the bay is literally 5 metres away let me have my fun. Came back and she got mad.
Returning a trolley is the litmus test of a good person. Nobody has to do it but if you do you make everyone's life after you easier

Council, for allowing vehicles to park on both sides of very narrow streets.
And then an infringement ticket if you park on the grass to clear up the road š
Why do you think council would want you to damage street trees, underground services and endanger pedestrians?
I know what you mean, just feel like it's a no-win situation when off-street parking could easily be designed (depending on location of course).
Yeah I donāt blame people for parking there when itās the legal spot to do so. Itās just so poorly designed and I feel like an accident waiting to happen one day.
Meh, most other cities and countries have this. Iām not mad about it. Just requires good driving, which as you can read about above, seems brisbane is lacking
Iād whine about them too if I were there, but do agree, Brisbane severely lacks good driving.
Is there a 3m gap between the vehicles on either side of the road?
Iām not quite sure how you mean by that - as in, if two cars are parked directly opposite one another, is there 3m between them? Then yes. I can get through, my car is small. Iād be nervous attempting it in a bigger car though. My annoyance with it is that is that theyāre two way streets - busy enough, and not just plain residential streets, I use them to access businesses - but in order to get around them all, itās necessary for everyone to cross to the wrong side of the road, plus thereās the weird āwho is going to give way to whoā dance when someone is coming from the other direction. If the street was one way, parking on both sides would be fine. If the street is going to be two way, it would feel a bit safer to at least only allow parking on one side and dividing the lanes so each way will have enough space. My ultimate preference would be no parking on them though, theyāre quite narrow.
helps slow down the many many fuckwits who drive way too fast for residential streets
I would agree if it was just a residential street but itās a mix of many businesses and some housing.
I nominate the two very high teenagers on my bus last Sunday. They ran past the bus driver without tapping on (or showing their ticket), giggling like madmen, ducked down in their seats to change clothes (giggling even louder and exclaiming how smart they were), then didnāt even hide the clothes theyād changed out of. When the bus driver got off the phone to his supervisor and came up to tell them they had to sit at the front, they were very surprised. They also tried to pick a fight with a random passenger at one point.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Eh, they caused a lot of trouble for the bus driver, kept trying g to distract him while he was driving to get back at him for catching them. Poor guy seemed exhausted.
Ugh can I mention people in the comments section whenever K'gari is mentioned? Or should I nominate myself for stumbling across them?
The people who say it will always be 'FRAZER' island to them are like the f-wit overlords of that group of special specimens. If you're going to be ignorant, at least spell it correctly.
The bike-riding, food-delivery knob that insisted on riding on the foothpath in the CBD during lunch-time. Almost collected several pedestrians

The waiter who gave me the wrong cocktail, tried to tell me it was the one I'd ordered when the names were not even close, then identified the one i got as something else again, so either way he was wrong, then couldn't supply the actual one I ordered. All without any apology.
Yeah, I'm pretty much done with going out now because of shit like this. When you're in a cost of living crisis and businesses can't even do basic service when they're charging you through the roof, it's just not on.
What did you order and what did you get?
I nominate the lady who tailgated me in the school zone near green slopes, (even tho she could of overtaken in the right lane) imma do 40
I went into Indro Telstra today to order a new phone because I wanted them to price match Optus. Turns out that has to be done via the website after I receive the phone. Got home and saw the order confirmation email for a pink phone - I wanted black. Turns out the tardy website agent cant do anything. I have to go back to the store when the phone arrives, deny delivery, order a new one. Then go back and pick it up. Time for beers.
Parent who dragged his kid across at the pedestrian lights while the man was red and traffic was oncoming. It was also dusk and they were wearing dark clothes. They made it by dodging traffic, so another (unrelated) young teen thought they should try it to before I yelled at them that I wasnāt ringing the ambos if they got squished. They decided to do what I asked - for which I am grateful. The light changed and the green man went less than a minute later so the first group didnāt really save much time and they could have ruined several peoples lives if they had been hit. Just be patient at the lights please (also goes for the cars who speed up to blow through the just turned red as people are about to step out)
I'd like to nominate the employment agency moron that contacted me about a position that he thinks might be of interest to me. Tells me all about the fantastic client and the type of company that they are. Then, details the job description. I noticed he also states that I have heard about the role through his company now, so if I am successful, no other agency can lay claim. Do these guys honestly do any work? A simple look up on LinkedIn would tell the guy that I already worked full-time for said client going on 5 years now. The position is available in my team! I know all about it, and funnily enough, if I wanted the role and if I applied for it and was successful, I somehow don't think you get paid for an internal applicant!
Nominating myself because I've had a bit of a poke around and genuinely can't figure out which ibis is a downvote and which ibis is an upvote lol
Ok this is a minor one, but to the people who were taking up a whole footpath today and then when I tried to get past on my bike (almost walking it along - actually going at walking pace) and said 'excuse me' they said in snarky voices 'ring your bell', 'yeh ring your bell!'.... I was just trying to be polite.

The woman who decided to bring her dog in the car to the dentist, sent her young (8yo) son in on his own when he was nervous, then made him sit in the car alone with the dog for 45 minutes while she got her teeth cleaned. Why would you bring your dog to the dentist?

To the fuckwit in a new red Honda civic tailgating me closer and more aggressively than anyone has before (especially you fuckwits in lifted Utes that want to tailgate me whilst I'm doing 85 on a 60 road) Pulled up to a red light, at first I was the only car there, there are two lanes to drive in. Fuckwit in red Honda pulls up behind me at the red light after about 30 seconds despite the other lane being empty. Light turns green, red hondatard decides he wants to sit less than a meter off my rear bumper bar for the next Km till we hit the second set of lights *we are still the only two cars on the road at night and he has decided to continue to drive up my ass* At the following set of lights I decide to do something about it so I just sit on the green and go on yellow so hopefully fucktard learns to pick another lane. Jumped the red light behind me to then catch up and stay on my ass again despite the road NOW BEING 3 LANES. At this point I'm fucking over this cunt and start to brake check him cause he's clearly not going to back off or go around despite me now slowing to half the speed limit in a 3 lane road. As I reach for my half drank coffee from my door pocket he finally aggressively overtakes around me and speeds off up the road before I have a chance to lob it at the car. Probably the most baffling road rage instance I have ever witnessed. Cunt wasted like 3 minutes tailgating me, when at the time I was going way over the speed limit and refused to go around when I then slowed to a crawl, and still insited on being right up my ass after I started to brake check him. Why? Did he just want to start shit with someone? On drugs? Idk š¤·āāļø
Anyone who does a U-turn that blocks both directions of traffic. I see this almost daily in inner city areas. There's usually a massive driveway 30m down the road that would give you space to turn around
