Having pre-sold stock that goes missing/doesn't arrive, and having to ask people to be patient while you re-order from a different supplier.

Oh joy should have just been patient...

People who get to the salads at Subway and breezily ask for "a bit of everything..." and then as the Subway dude is actually preparing it "...but hold the olives, pickles, cucumber, beetroot, carrot, and onion."

BITCH JUST ASK FOR LETTUCE AND TOMATO NEXT TIME.

Or people who wait in a huge line at the busiest time then only wnna work out what they're having once they're at the checkout. *POOT*

Dupea: I'd like a plain omelette, no potatoes, tomatoes instead, a cup of coffee, and wheat toast.
Waitress: No substitutions.
Dupea: What do you mean? You don't have any tomatoes?
Waitress: Only what's on the menu. You can have a number two - a plain omelette. It comes with cottage fries and rolls.
Dupea: Yeah, I know what it comes with. But it's not what I want.
Waitress: Well, I'll come back when you make up your mind.
Dupea: Wait a minute. I have made up my mind. I'd like a plain omelette, no potatoes on the plate, a cup of coffee, and a side order of wheat toast.
Waitress: I'm sorry, we don't have any side orders of toast...an English muffin or a coffee roll.
Dupea: What do you mean you don't make side orders of toast? You make sandwiches, don't you?
Waitress: Would you like to talk to the manager?
Dupea: ...You've got bread and a toaster of some kind?
Waitress: I don't make the rules.
Dupea: OK, I'll make it as easy for you as I can. I'd like an omelette, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee.
Waitress: A number two, chicken sal san, hold the butter, the lettuce and the mayonnaise. And a cup of coffee. Anything else?
Dupea: Yeah. Now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.
Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh?
Dupea: I want you to hold it between your knees.

A certain council stating - "oh we've opted not to enforce that part of the regulations as it's a bit difficult"...

Thats great - but how about you tell the customer that and not pass the buck to me to do something you should already be doing..

Fucking crocs....

I hate them, more importantly i hate the people that wear them, they are retarded...

The first time i saw them a retard was wearing them and i asked my mum, who i was having lunch with at the time, what in hell they were. She replied that the guy wearing them didn't really have it altogether so i shouldn't judge...

Now they are fashionable! RAAAAR

So all you guys and gals out there that wear crocs, a 53 year old lady thinks that you are retarded.

That is all.

First time I saw a guy wearing a pair was around two years ago at Ponsnoby video easy. He thought he was cool.

Gear grind: clusterfuck called nDeva. Every fucking year it seems harder to do...

Okay not meaning to play devils advocate here, but what's wrong with crocs? The loud colours? I don't own any and never really felt inclined to get some, I juts don't get why it's so popular to hate them. Do the wearers strut around feeling all uber or summat??? I hear they're really comfortable (well, after watching celebrity apprentice).

This is what is wrong with them. Crocs are toddler footwear. For toddlers. Grown people are not toddlers, ergo, adults wearing them are retarded.

Crocs, even the name is retarded.

[StN]

^^^ Sorry, I paraphrased with a picture...

[Torka]

Adults wearing crocs is like adults reading Harry Potter.

Neither unusual or surprising.

It gets picked up, taken to the local processing centre for inbound routing, then moved through to the distribution area in the same processing centre, then next day put into the van for delivery.

Even more retarded? When I was living in Glennmore St, I had a delivery where the driver had to physically drive past my place on the way back from picking up the parcel in Karori.

Thanks for the condolences, unfortunately its not looking good

One day I will get to come back to NZ for something other than a funeral.

PS: Hot dry summer my arse, it's done nothing but rain since I've been back in the country

[chiquelet]

Tnt, my thoughts are with your family, it's just not right what happened to your grandma.

As for crocs, they're the footwear of choice for almost every doctor and nurse at Wellington hospital, so I figure they must be on to something.

Ah fuck, Tyler.

Thats because they can be sterilized quite easily. They have a fuck load of them at Palmy Hospital passing them out to students on surgical rotation. Go well with scrubs. I hate the fucking things. But they serve a purpose.

Filthy hospital swine!

Getting old is pissing me off. Missing out on grading for the second time in half a year due to my knees being too fucked to go through the forms adequately. And getting a stress fracture on my right first metatarsal from sparring hasn't helped much either.

Ooold, old and slooow. Might have to give up martial arts and take up .. aqua-jogging.

Saying my name makes me more likely to pop up, this grinds my gears, you invite me into your thread then get unruly flaulence by way of the stench of the shit you talk, ultimately making you a little insecure around me.

What next, you going to invite me for a tango too, sweetie?

Shitty Australian television commercials. Especially those Pizza Hut and KFC ones. No bloody wonder PH is not doing so well. At least revoice the ads, if not get an ad which isn't so lame!
