People who continue to drive slow after passing an accident on the motorway. It annoys me when people still trundle along at 40kph when there are huge gaps in front of them. Meanwhile I'm accelerating back up to 80.

but get to a passing lane and they do 120kmh so you cant pass then slow down....

Fuck, that ruins me. People who speed up coming up to a passing lane. It's some stupid switch that fires inside a drivers head where they decide to go faster for no reason. If people are lining up behind me on an open road (while I'm going 100kph) and there's a passing lane, I will actually drop back down to 90kph to make the passing safer.

I was at this NZTA focus group and the NZTA guy mentioned this, he said that as the road widens for the passing lane subconsciously drivers speed up due to the widening of the road(or something like that, was ages ago), also occurs in the transition from regular sized 100kph roads to motorways.

I didn't even know this was a thing.

Court-siding - People watching a game and texting what's going on to someone else so they can make bets on the game where the broadcasting time delayed.

I don't even understand how this can be a thing, who would be dumb enough to accept bets on a sports event that has already happened?!

And it's absurd that they are blaming the people who paid money to watch the game live.

Just broadcast the game live, then it wouldn't be a problem.

I think its more live betting. Like there are bets on who is the next man out, or method of dismissal etc. So if you are quick enough, you can get the bet in before they suspend the betting (because someone has got out so they need to update the odds).

I realise that.

But in my view, if someone is quick enough to get a bet in, then all power to them.

If the place that offers betting does not like that, then they should not offer those kind of bets.

The betting industry isn't in  it to pay out. At the TAB they'll ban you if you get it right too often.

24hour stomach bugs that result in my day starting at 1:30am with the 7 year old projectile vomiting her entire room to hell,  thank god for spare room, finally got her cleaned up showered and into the spare bed and cleaned her room , sheets, duvet , walls, all in the wash by 3am.

8 month old wakes up at 4am, gets given a feed and then procedes to projectile all over me :(, so i clean her up have a shower get her back in bed..

wife wakes up and vomits down the stairs,  finish cleaning that up it's now 7:30.

this cycle went for most of the day yesterday, suffice to say i am knackered today

I think men have much stronger flora in their gut for when it comes to digesting food.

If you think about it, we were out hunting for days at a time, on the hunt eating whatever carcass we came across. Women were back in the caves eating fruit and berries they had scrounged from near by shrubs.

It's science.

One thing I find amusing is that if you take somebody who grew up in the country (ie me!) and compare them to a city dweller, they cant handle anything.

I can eat raw roo (no lies) and drink muddy dam water np. but as soon as a city dweller looks at under cooked food, its a trip the the hospital. 8)

Agile software development aka Agile
If you don't know what it is then rejoice
If you do know what it is then it is one of the most horrible things ever created, thanks for agreeing.

Thankfully, I'm not the only one who hates it

“Agile is a cancer that we have to eliminate from the industry," said Meijer; harsh words for a methodology that started in the nineties as a lightweight alternative to bureaucratic and inflexible approaches to software development.

Is there some law that says the closer you get to the middle of a city, the more likely it is for drivers to forget how traffic lights work?
