What cheeses me off

I believe Australia statutory warranty would be 2 years for a tv.

No,

The product warranty is ADDITIONAL to the Australian consumer guarantee which cannot be waived by the merchant.
In particular - "Acceptable quality" is not defined by the manufacturer's warranty period

Sporting commentators who use the word 'claret' when referring to blood. I hate it.

People who get the bus for only one or two stops. They waste their time and money (if they bother paying) to go ~300 meters up the road while wasting everyone else's time (as the bus often wouldn't have needed to stop twice without them).

These people spend 5-10 mins waiting for the bus, then 2 minutes on the bus, to go a 5 minute walk away. If they had just walked in the first place, they would have gotten to where they were going before the bus even arrived.

People have hidden disabilities though. And seniors in SA receive free public transport everywhere.

Wow

I admit to being a bit naughty to a young woman WCMO this afternoon as I was driving out of the supermarket this afternoon. She didn't look as she came out between tha cars on to the lane. Then stopped and turned the other way to talk to someone. I edged up and right behind applied my hand to the horn. She has a future as a high jumper.

She didn't look

headsets/earphone/airpods/and permanently attached to phone?

Didn't she know about the last guy?

Too soon?

It used to be free between 9.30 and 3pm and then after 7pm and all weekends and Labour promised free 24/7 at the last election. God forbid any politician that tries to overturn it

Careful. You might lose more than your IDP.

A guy crossing a local road looking at his phone stopped half way in middle of the road and started to text. Luckily my car has good brakes and the lighting was good as I came around the corner.

Unless there is something preventing someone from making a reasonable short walk, there is no reason why someone should need to spent 10 minutes waiting for a bus to go a 3 minute walk away, while wasting everyone elses time to do so.

The biggest segment of people doing this are high school students.

I had one woman today who concentrated on her phone while crossing with a pedestrian green light. Took her more than 30 seconds more to get across. Was tempted but didn’t want to channel @drron.

Rail replacement busses. Especially ones that aren't announced until a few days before.

Probably going to have to stump up for a much more expensive uber now, and both ways

And no doubt the phrase ‘for your convenience’ would have been used in the notification.

What notification? It's only because I was lucky enough to double check the schedule today that I know. It wasn't even listed on the disruptions page
