The things that 'grind your gears' thread...

[Alan79]

Who decided to make a new version of “The Office US” which is one of the greatest shows with an Australia version.

I guess I'll have to try and see if it's any good. I like the US version. The UK version is a lot different but good from what I've seen of it. Haven't watched the whole series though. But I've had my housemate ramble on 200 times about how bad the us version is.

He's got no idea about the fact that just because his personal opinion leans one way it doesn't make things he hates bad. He'll go on about things like Friends, the big bang theory and any number of other shows being shit. He fails to acknowledge that if they're massive hits, it just means he's intolerant.

But for what it's worth I watched a bit of the American version of Kath and Kim and hated it.

I loved the British version, warmed up to the US one, though it took awhile. It was actually canceled when it originally aired only to be brought back to become one of the most successful sitcoms of modern times which I think is a massively overrated tag for it but that's just me.

Michael overdid it a bit. But the rest of the cast bought it together for me. It jumped the shark long before it finished though.

I can't stand slack lazy dickheads that don't use their driving indicators, especially on roundabouts!!! It's not difficult people!!!

Even a lot of people who do use their indicators on roundabouts, half of them get it wrong. Go stand next to any roundabout in Australia for 5 minutes and pick an exit to look at, and you'll see an equal number of people who don't use their indicator at all, or people randomly using the left and right indicator.

I think I'm over the forum already this off season.

Most of the people here are fun. But I've got a habit of reading a thread I found interesting from the point where I jumped off last. Sometimes it's 3 posts, other times it's 15 pages.

So when it's a 15 pages since I looked in occasion, it's typically a small handful of people arguing the same points back and forth that've carried it for 24 pages.

Other threads I've looked at are now showing signs of people trying to dig back to page 5 of a 200 page thread for areas that people were wrong about something that they can use to tell them "look, you were wrong about something in 2015" of that they've changed their mind.

It's got me at the point where I'm acting a bit grouchy myself. It's probably time for me to take a break.

It’s the second or third time you’ve said this, probably a big sign to take a month off. December is probably an ok time to come back with real training news from the club. I’m probably going to do the same, majority
Of the club are on holidays probably even Gus soon.

One of my pet hates. Or when they have made a turn then indicate.

Shits me to no end

The absolute worst for this is cops in my neck of the woods.

Sour grapes, jealousy is da devil , like crabs in a bucket, when one gets near the top the ones in the bottom try to pull it back in.

 

[The New Legacy]

Who’s good idea was it from my council to put plants on roundabouts so you can’t see indicators!

This one is really starting to make me think of doing some pretty dark things.
These morons at all hours of the day and night with their broken exhausts that have to pop every single time they accelerate. It’s bad enough I’ve gotta hear Harley’s revving at the lights every weekend, there’s one idiot in particular that has a VW that deliberately makes sure the blow back happens right behind my fence and it scares the shit outta me and my kids everytime it pops!
im legitimately considering throwing bungers or a Molotov through his window and let’s see how he likes it when his car goes BANG for good!

Back in the day, ran a custom HD shop. Every man and his dog wanted Eagles put on to give the HD some growl and push it to 120db. Every time, I'd say u want your old exhausts, they'd say nah. So I'd label them with the rego and keep em. Anywhere from 2 - 6 weeks later, they'd come back in with a noise defect and ask for the oldies. Told em I scrap metal'd them but can order some 95db replacements. Made a fckng killing off it by selling them back their own exhausts.

There is karma in this world lol.

Why TF anyone wants to make their VW sound like a broken v8 is beyond me. And why they wanna attract cops thinking it’s bullets, they’re asking for the consequences

If you really want to get back at them you'll throw 2 bungers set to go off seconds apart. They'll still be trying to figure out what the hell happened the first time, then the second one will go off

I realised bungers won’t work because it’s what their kharraboxes sound like
