Do you have any conditions I should know about? What are you wearing? Did you know that you can download your own chat robot and create your own robot personality? What colour are your eyes?

didn't you create some group hugging, feel good group called 'i'm a lovely person"? btw, i've disassociated myself from the group. i'd be living a lie if i were to remain a member. hahaha.

lol, I did indeed, although few seem to have noticed its intention as a rather caustic satire (perhaps I need to relax the subtlety factor a little, lol).

Having to deal with the morons at Paypal!!

Numerous calls and emails and they still can't figure out why they charged our business credit card. During my last call I was told by a supervisor that they couldn't assist me as our organisation did not exist on their system - this is despite PayPal processing a couple of thousand dollars a week for us via the internet!!

They are worse then the banks.

Getting flashed by a semi-trailer for pulling out in front of him.

a) I was nowhere near him. I could have fit 1.5 cars between us when I merged and if he thinks that's too close then maybe he shouldn't be driving a goddamn truck. I mean, FFS. Me, in my little girly car, could see that I was in no way going to get run over by his slow moving giant. If I wasn't scared, why should he be?

b) What the hell is a semi doing in the right hand lane of the freeway anyway? Seriously, he's not going anywhere in a hurry. How about moving out of the way so people who DO know how to do the speed limit can pass ,stupid f**king moron..

Ugh.. Driving pisses me off. Actually no, I love driving because I'm good at it. I hate other drivers. Unless they're good drivers too. What I DO like is when you find someone on the freeway who drives the same way as you do (ie. they drive as though they actually have to be somewhere some time in the next year or so) and you kind of stick together and mirror each others movements through the traffic. Very effective, especially if they're going faster, I don't want to be the one pulled over! Even better is following an ambo whilst they slice through the traffic for you (not tailgating though!). Did it the other night. Got from Endeavour Hills to Chadstone in about 8 minutes - it was mad!

you should come to the middle east then, the driving is bloody awful. although i enjoy it because you can get away with so much.

but theres a lot of stuff about it that pisses me off

for example, people who beep at you a few seconds before the light turns greeen. asa reminder to get moving. argh so annoying.

Oh boy

You just don't have any idea about how much it takes to pull up a semi do you? 1.5 cars? I just shake my head.
