@Windows97 said in Grumpy Old Man:
Drivers who upon noticing that you want to get out from an intersection instead of being nice and speeding up or even just continuing at their normal speed upon noticing your car edging slightly forward slow down and look at you with a look of panic and fear on their face.
They then slooowwwlllyyyy drive past allowing all the traffic behind them to catch up so can't exit the intersection safely.
Perhaps they believe that their look of fear and panic as they drive by at 20km/hr is the only thing keeping them safe from you launching you car at them like a exocet missile??
I can only but congratulate their unwavering loyalty to their own safety while being an inconsiderate asshat.
See, I hate people who slowly edge out as you approach the intersection, especially when I am on a motorbike. I don't know if you have seen me and one of the things I am watching is your fucking wheels. If they start to turn I am slowing down.

Fucking cuntwankers buying their scratchy tickets at the customer service desk in the supermarket. Jesus they're tedious fucksticks.
It’s not just the supermarket, got stuck at the Post Office once when an old duck came in with all her tickets and wanted more. In fact, I got a little sad seeing just how much lots of old people spend on lotto tickets each week, this woman spent over $100.
Some old people do have money

Maybe she won the lotto and that is where all the money came from? I guess the same could be said for poker machines, but I have had to walk through many establishments and it always strikes me just how many older woman are on the pokies in the middle of the day.

It's not just Okara Park, last two times I've been to Suncorp ... which are actually the only times I've been to Suncorp ... the DJ just plays music over the footy. Shitted me no end.
Edit: Rugby and Loigue. Bled test in 2020 (?) and Broncos v some boganball team (Souths?) about a year later.

Recent trip to France makes kiwis look like angels on the road.

Motorists sitting at intersections who start edging slowly forward when there isn't yet a safe gap for them to enter.
What the fuck you doing bro? Are you going to launch like an exocet missile into an imagined gap? Do you just have weak legs and poor control of brake/accelerator? In either case - now I need to keep a cautious eye on you, along with everything else, and put myself in a position/speed to be able to cope with whatever madness you might be considering. Instead of just continuing by at a standard rate, as I'd otherwise be able to do. -

Anyway, as I got to 69yo today and deeper into grumpy old man territory, I would like to add one more thing that pisses me off, I turn 69 a week after becoming the youngest brother in family. Young brother jumped the queue and passed away last week! And in a big family like ours we were always told to wait your turn!!!

Will say it put's things in perspective, ABs lost? Big deal ! if you understand.
Anyway I can still get in car in a minute or soand go to golf so life is still good!
Well until I actually start to swing clubs, and get reminded I bloody hopeless at game.

I forgot to post this last week. Music at games. Penrith has the worst by far of any live game I've ever been to. It was constant, even when play was going on.
Why does the organisation with the best team in the game feel the need to ruin the spectacle by pumping MoreFM (hits from the 70s, 80s, 90s and today) down our ears constantly?

This.
Don't think it's exclusive to Penrith.
Ruined the last/only two games I've been to at Suncorp.
Repeating myself I know.

When you into a Hi Fi shop just wanting to look at a pair of speakers and get salespeople wanking on about how this amplifier or other "gives a warmer, deeper sound-stage", how £200 speaker cables "enhance the bass presence" or how vinyl records "contain more melodic information than digital".
No, they fucking well do not, now piss off and study some basic physics and audio engineering you pimply-faced twat.

This is ironically enough exactly the kind of advice I need right now. We have the niggly combination of a big lounge with very high ceilings and a slightly out of date TV set up. Really fucken irritating when watching Kin ( and all those Micks talking really fast ) and not able to understand them when closed captions aren’t available.
You’re grumpy that someone is giving you this advice.
I’m grumpy that no one is.
Our respective gripes typify this thread.

You need low noise audio optical cables which work up to 12MHz so you can hear whale song with more clarity and wider melodic bandwidth soundstage presentation and this:

this is modern bloody TV and Cinema. The audio tracks are turned down so far if you turn them up to hear them, your house shakes with any action.
Pisses me off. Makes me grumpy. And it's not just you
