What cheeses me off

I'd be very reluctant to approach anyone with this kind of thing these days.

I would have lied and said I was ill and about to vomit in his cab (likely true) and he better get the next customer

WCMO is young men who think bathing and deodorant are not necessary even though its pretty much been over 30C and crazy humid everyday for months.

You should have offered to buy him some Lynx deodorant and give him a good spray down.

I think I have about 10 pairs in the drawer that I rarely wear - I must clean them out because I'll have two more pairs after the next trip

Rydges and Priority rewards website is stupid - you have to log in twice - it makes Qantas look better

Just wait till you want to cancel a booking - that is convoluted and painful!

actually that was very straightforward - I just found they had a sale on and saved about $50 and it's still exorbitant but if I am arriving from Europe at 10pm I don't want to even think about shuttles or taxis or trains. They take forever for their confirmations to come through though

Maybe they changed but last time I had to have an email link and then IIRC another email as well just to cancel the booking. Seem to remember maybe Rooflyer also posted on the process but might be wrong.

The RTA failing to synchronise traffic lights with exits of the westconnex. Paying a toll to move at less than 10km/hour when speed signs are 80km/hour because exits only let 1 or 2 cars onto Anzac Bridge or 3 lanes merge into 1 at airport exit.

In past few weeks it's gotten so bad better to take all surface non toll roads if heading to the east or airport.

Toll should be refunded if takes more than 10mins to go 10km, and should have to show average time to next exit at entry so people can choose not to enter, instead you enter and immediately stuck in a carpaark.

I still wear (for probably a good 7-8 months of the year given the weather here) my TG F pyjamas. I have 3-4 pairs on rotation, but they're still pretty much as good as the day I got them. I think the elastic is finally starting to go in the pants, but to be fair I did get them in 2013 so they've held up pretty well if you ask me. The material still looks as good as the day I got them.

They’re quite good - if you don’t mind looking like a giant chocolate Burmese (or Siamese!) cat.

Our chocolate Burmese looked quite at home between the two of us if we were both wearing them at home in winter…

Must be different ones, the 2013 issue were boring grey - but comfy as heck. The female ones were a light blue colour, slightly different design. Nearly 11 years use out of them and many more to come I'd say.

WCMO

Drunks on trains.

Three Asian males seated next to me, look like retirees, on the express train to Hakone, drunk making a hell of a noise. Started on beers now on spirits and eating what smells like stripes of rotting fish. Extremely unpleasant. Assigned seating on almost full train and can't move.

Pretty sure the guy next to me hasn't showered in a few days.

I'd be tempted to say they can't be Japanese, but I'm going to guess there's a fair chance that they may be (and you would probably know based on their speech); in any case, a rowdy train is no where near Japanese behavioural norms.

Mind, other Japanese are not quick to suggest to anyone who breaks the rules that they are breaking the rules, unless the behaviour is unsafe or absurdly egregious. They just judge you incredibly.
