Things that piss you off...

Damn straight. The moon boot turns into an ass kicking boot once I put my undies over my trousers.
...and I am a proud Wellingtonian Tegal...Stuff took liberties with the headline.
I know, I just couldn't resist posting that :)
Thanks to recent transport issues, I chose a new method of travel to work today to better fir the weather. i'm all for more environmentally friendly transport but these things STINK!
NZ Sevens team complaining about the refereeing in the QF against Fiji - you lost 3 of the 4 games, I don't think it's the refereeing that was the problem...
Next excuse - Sonny Bill was injured!
Horrific injury for anyone to get and sympathy to him but the NZRU continually make such a big deal out of him like he is the next messiah, it is just annoying. There were 6 other players in the team at any one time.

At least he can now represent NZ in the Olympic boxing!
The ordeal that is trying to book something popular through Ticketek when it goes on pre-sale. Website is just not fit for purpose. There's only so long you can keep trying when you're at work aswell.

Guns n Roses?
if only there was some sort of ticket resell service like stubhub where you could buy or sell tickets at a mutually agreed upon price between two parties whenever you wanted up to the point of the event.

No, was something else that probably wasn't even popular enough to crash the site like other events, but despite sufficient warning it was coming the site still didn't work when the pre-sale opened. It's like it's a surprise to them that a lot of people are trying to use their site at the same time each time something goes on sale.

Sounds like a certain TV provider everytime there is a major sports event on their online service
True. At least with them you can find another stream instead of having to keep trying for an hour though.

There is another way. We found out at the Red Hot Chilli Peppers concert in 1996 that Queens Wharf Event Centre had two fire exits where the alarm was shut off. Someone with a ticket went in, opened the door and let 15 of us in. Much cheaper and quicker than Ticketek.

It all happened in One Hot Minute, I had security Knock Me Down which left me with Scar Tissue. It was just me and My Friends. Later on we hid Under the Bridge and then moved to Higher Ground. By The Way, I Could Have Lied but why would I? It's a Minor Thing.
RHCP piss me off, they have a couple of okay albums, but man have they been crap this century.

I've learnt to read them as if they are a comedy sketch, it works well, they make me laugh every single day.

I tend to reply to them because people tend to live in a bubble of like minded sentiment and they need to realise that there is a big wide world out there, but today I just didn't have the effort for the angst and therefore closed my browser. I might just setup a rule in my firewall which bans all traffic from stuff, it's probably better for my blood pressure.
Yet another village idiot goes to Bali with drugs on them - in this case it is Meth, gets caught and then wants help. WTF. How many times do people have to get caught and either do 15 years or be executed before these idiots learn to not do this sort of stuff. Frankly, I hope they terminate her. One less loser for us to subsidise and worry about. Perhaps we should send all our junkies there for a holiday.

With all the publicity that was given to Corby and the Bali 9 it defies belief that anyone could be so stupid.
I have seen the huge signage at Denpasar airport telling the incoming passengers that the death penalty applies for drug smuggling.

agree. What is always annoying is the media pleas to free them.
I'm sure it costs the tax payers tens of thousands of dollars every time it happens.
Article on Stuff giving the Nix 10/10. Maybe I read it wrong but it seems like they have picked on prettty much all the negatives of the clubs history with only a few positives.
Did I get this wrong?
it's a toptenfor10 list. I imagine the more positive lists are to come.
It's quite good coverage for a change.
One positive, NONE of our players have been involved in any court cases as a result of assaulting other people both men and wome. None of our players have ever killed anyone on the roads unlike a former famous 7's player.
The self centred prattling of NZ TV news presenters these days. It is awful.
We haven't had the "news" in years. It's mainly the presenters having "witty" banter to pad out the celebrity gossip (mainly around All Black players) and more general stories about the All Blacks, oh, and some scare mongering about tourists driving, and foreigners buying real estate - neither of which are actually supported by facts.
And most importantly, Kim Kartrashian makes Stuff everyday.
People who want to start arguments over what type of phone to use...
"iPhones are crap, grow up and get a real phone"
Don't buy one then, not asking you to. I use them because I'm used to them, they have never failed me and I like the way they look. It's my money, I work hard to earn it and unless I'm buying methamphetamine or buying into the sex slave trade, please don't make judgments on what I decide to throw my money away on.
What? You're a self-taught IT expert and know that Android phones are better because of some processor I don't know the first thing about?
Sorry, I bow to you superior knowledge, oh great Lynx Africa scented, orange tab Levi wearing, South Park t-shirt wearing one.
I must admit though, if you managed to get the BurgerRing crumbs and acne grease off of your phone, it'd look pretty sleek.

Aren't you ripping on them for what they spent their money on in this post? Unless Lynx, Levi's and t-shirts are methamphetamine or sex slaves then correct me if I'm wrong but you are doing what you are criticizing.

I'm making the "people in glass houses" point...people can do what they want but if they want to drone on at me and attempt to belittle my personal choices for something so unimportant, I'm happy to fire back. I thought that common sense would help you to realise this so you either have none or you're deliberately looking for an argument.

Ah I see. So to make the point that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, i.e. you shouldn't criticizing a character in someone else that you have yourself. So in that example your "flaw" was the choice of phone manufacturer, and as such you identified his flaw of also choosing a phone manufacturer by calling him a bunch of petty insults.
RE: the bolded section its option 3, I saw someone complain about someone doing something then proceeded to do it themselves. It's a pet peeve of mine so I call it out when I see it. But thanks for the friendly constructive comments.
Things that piss me off, people arguing in the "Things that piss you off" thread! ?
So people really try and convince you to change phones?
Why?

So yeah...looking for an argument it is.
"I saw someone complain about someone doing something then proceeded to do it themselves."
This was in place to emphasize how annoying I find it when someone gets stuck in when it's not their place to open their gobs - fine, think it, internalize it, but why bring it up. I'm not actually likely to fire back with the written response, I'mm more like to tell them "I'm not interested, fudge off..." but the creative writing was an expression of frustration and a touch of humor.
I think you've deliberately taken something that was a harmless rant and turned in around to deliberately provoke. I'm not sure if you're bored, had a bad day or if you're simply a troll but it's ridiculous.
So people really try and convince you to change phones?
Why?
No idea. Sense of superiority? The romantic idea of being "non-conformist"? (which is very conformist)
