| #0 / Mon, 18 Jun 07 14:47 I have to tell you the WHOLE story so bare with me
I've had an extremely busy week and that fact that its Friday today didn't abate the constant flow of work. With a generous 10 min lunch break, I decided to run to the Lowry (shopping precinct) to get some cash out of the ATM machine.
Upon walking to the ATM machine, I noticed a lady in her 30's walking steadily towards it. 'Ok this wont take long' I was wrong
The lady began to test out every function the ATM had to offer, from transactions to balance statements. I think she went on to ask it the what was the meaning of life and what she should do tomorrow.
Biting my lip and refraining with angst to tap my toe, I waited for what felt like an hour whilst she counted her money, and re counted it STOOD RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DAMNED MACHINE!!
Sorry, I really needed to get that off my chest. Thanks for reading!!
Your turn!!

| #5 / Mon, 18 Jun 07 15:55 don't mean to nitpick but the 'M' in ATM stands for machine, so you don't need to say machine after you state ATM.
people who do that tick me off.

| #10 / Mon, 18 Jun 07 23:27 When it's raining (like it is here in Sydney) and you get one person standing at the front of the bus that refuses to move to the back of the bus.
So you're standing there in the pouring rain that falls between the bus shelter and the bus, (the driver knows when the bus is full and will let you know before you step into the rain that the bus is approaching full), and you can clearly see there's LOADS of space for people to move into BUT NOOOOOOOO. Some wanker with no freakin' spatial awareness is just leaning in everyone's way preventing or delaying the 15 people trying to board as fast as they can.
Surely though... after the 5th person has said "Excuse meee!" to you, you realise you're in SOME PEOPLES WAY and you turn around to see if you can move to somewhere you can BE LESS OF A PAIN IN THE ASS!!!
But what really cheers me up is when the girl at Bakers Delight asks "Do you want me to warm your roll up for you?"
She takes the roll and disappears out the back for 30 seconds and brings it back toasty warm.
I just imagine she's put it under her tee shirt for that time and it makes me feel better about the bus ride there.

| #12 / Tue, 19 Jun 07 04:56 under her tee shirt I hate people who eat and chew gum with their mouths open. Only because of the fact that I HATE slobbeing sounds. WHY CANT PEOPLE JUST F*CKIN EAT/CHEW WITH THEIR MOUTHS CLOSED? I also hate when youre at the movies, and it takes some loser half an hour to open their little packet of chips. I hate that sound in the cinema. RAH! I also hate the guy who checks our work passes everytime we enter into our building. I always run past him straight into the lift to piss him off. Dont care if its a security measure, its just annoying!!!
