i had to let out some rage.

THINGS THAT PISS ME OFF

1. Customers that take fifteen minutes to find their Everyday Rewards card, when they've only spent $2.50. YOU DON'T GET ANY POINTS FOR <$30!!! EVEN IF YOU SPENT $30, WE DON'T GIVE OUT FUEL VOUCHERS FOR THAT ANYMORE! AND YOU HAVEN'T EVEN REGISTERED WITH FREQUENT FLYER POINTS! SO WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NEED YOUR FUCKING EVERYDAY REWARDS CARD. Jeez.

2. Customers who want 'extra' plastic bags, or plastic bags for toliet paper. Even when they've got a trolley. Or giving someone 50 plastic bags because they didn't wanna buy them at Target/Aldi. Trust me, Safeway does not give a flying fuck if you bought it from us, or even if you stole it from them. Show them your receipt if you have to, but seriously, nobody's gonna ask cos' nobody cares. Have you even heard of climate change?

3. Anything to do with Justin Beiber.

4. Lecturer's that don't hyperlink reading lists for their weekly readings & declare the reference list for each weekly topic the reading list > hours spent trying to find readings, only to discover Monash Library doesn't have the journal in the one year you need. Example: Reading for Social Work Journal Vol.5, Number 2, 2004. University library stocks years 1978-2003, 2006 to current. On different databases. Fuck you Monash Library System!

5. The fact that Emily Haines never made a real cd out of the 'Cut In Half and Double' EP and I can't find it on ebay.

6. Spilling coffee on my laptop. Again.

7. Plastic surgery/people who have plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons only.

8. Homework. In general.

9. Being so stressed that you leave your coin purse at Baker's Delight. And bothering to pick it up in your break, only to discover that the damn shop closes at 7pm so you have to come back tomorrow. Better not steal my coins fuckers!!!

10. Being ready to hop into bed, only to realise you haven't made it yet. My Mum is MEAN.

11. People that block the right side of the esculator. Really.

12. Putting off buying petrol/forgetting you have none, and then having to pay $9239320932090923 for it.

13. Realising that your laptop probably/definitely has a serious virus, but continuing to hysterically back everything up & not downloading the latest virus software because it's too fucking slow/you can never remember which version you're supposed to download/it interferes with the 50596868689 other windows you have open and you're too busy to do that shit. Continuing to hope for the best but start to cry when computer freezes/Task Manager multplys itself like 10000000 times and you have to switch the thing off & say a prayer that your poor baby (a piece of metal) will be okay.

14. When online orders don't come on time, or the packaging is a little crushed.

15. Leaves/birdshit/cobwebs on my car (but being too lazy to clean them off)

16. When you download a whole movie off Vuze, and it ends up being in French, or the volume doesn't work.

17. The fact that Facebook STILL doesn't have a dislike button.

18. When you watch Winners & Losers on Channel 7 (8:30-9:30), and intend on watching Nurse Jackie & Californication from 9:30-10:45, but Winners & Losers ends up finishing at 9:50 so you miss pretty much all of Nurse Jackie. YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN CHANNEL 7.

19. Licorice. Gross.

20. Customers (that you don't even recognize) that remember your name even when you deliberately don't wear your name badge. Freaky. Go away.
