Why is it that I'm the only guy at my gym that knows how to use a bench press correctly?
The correct procedure: 1) lift weights until you're exhausted 2) get up and let somebody else use the bench They all seem to think it's: 1) do one set 2) sit there and talk to your buddy on the next bench for twenty minutes before doing another set. I don't even want to get started on the blokes that seem to think it's necessary to hoard every piece of iron in the building for their curls... even though they only end up using one dumbbell. Seriously what is up with that? ![]() |

Because they're self absorbed *******. It appears to be the norm in gyms today. I see so many people do one set and then sit on the machine and text, surf the net, Facebook and six or seven minutes later they're still sitting there while other people are waiting to use the gear. Or people that expect to reserve 3 bits of gear so they can superset at 5:30pm when the gym is at maximum capacity. I've been trying at the gym for over 30 years and it's the worst I've seen but now days I have no problem either telling them to hurry the **** up or get off.

The same guys that do just bench and arm-curls while checking their tats in the mirror? The same guys that have to wear pants in summer because they look like and upside-down Pyramid?

Why is it some c*ck smoker is driving around in a new silver camery with big letters on the boot spelling I HAVE GOOD BRAKES, I HOPE YOU HAVE GOOD INSURANCE.
But the thing is i was following it today and it failed to indicate around 3 corners and 1 roundabout. If i was a cop i would yellow sticker the car just because... |

Why is it some people have these little cars like smart cars ect but it still takes them 2 mins to reverse out of a car park and can't judge that there is still 2 metres behind them of space before they back into something..
Funny to watch, i used to reverse my bronco out quicker lol |

This always seems to amaze me as well, I remember doing a road closure a while back diverting traffic around a crane set up on a roadway and this guy in a Suzuki swift stopped all of a sudden, when I approached he said, that his car won't fit, mind you he was following a semi trailer that fitted just fine..
One of the workes said.'mate it's time you buy a smaller car that one is clearly too big for you', he was not a happy camper. ![]()

Why is it most people will use their garage to store old boxes of crap and old cardboard boxes with a combined total of about $200 and then park their cars worth 40-50k out in the weather for their entire life?

Why is it that my neighbours start making outrageous levels of noise every time I need to record? Right now the guy on the right is using a wood chipper (or maybe a maxim gun) and the kid on the left is riding his dirt bike.
Are they secretly working against me? They were dead quiet until about three minutes after I finished setting up ![]() Fml. |

If the Flintstones animated series were set in the stone age, why is it they showed them celebrating Christmas? The stone age was before the birth of Christ - that is why it is referred to as BC. You cannot celebrate somebody's birthday before they are born......

The bloody photocopier will not allow you to print black and white documents when one of the colour cartridges are empty? If the print settings are set to black and white, it should not matter if any of the colour cartridges are empty.

For those who have done international travel.
The airports of the world have signs in the domestic language and English (if English is not the default language of that nation). English speaking countries have signs only in English. So why is it that the new T4 at Tullamarine Airport has signs in English and Chinese? Did I miss the change where Australia added a second official language to our nation? And if not, why only select Chinese? Does that not discriminate other non English speaking people outside of China?

Why is it when I go to a convenience store, place my items on the counter and say "just that please" or "just those please", the person behind the counter often asks "no petrol?" What part of what I said was not clear to them?

Not that I eat there often but when I do, why is it when I say 'eat here' or 'eat in', they give me my food in a take away bag?

Why is it so that when I go to McDonalds and ask for 2 pieces of raisin toast, I am asked if I want them toasted! If I wanted bread I would ask for it.
Why am I asked if I want my food as a meal, if it's not a meal, what is it, why would I want to pay more for the same items? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

In rugby, why is it when the following is achieved it is called a TRY? The player is no longer TRYing as they have already succeeded.

I believe when rugby began, no points were given for scoring the try itself, but only for the conversion (kick at goal). So one scored a 'try at goal', which became shortened to 'try'.

I saw this on two consecutive nights last week while driving home from work where it was well and truly dark. Why is it people can drive at night and NOT notice they have not turned on their lights (not even their park lights)? I don't see how this is possible. Even if one can see well enough, how can they NOT notice their instrument cluster and centre console are not lit up? How are they judging their speed? Even if I had tunnel vision it would be impossible not to notice that everything in front of you is dark.
People have told me in the past not to worry about it and let the police handle it. I disagree. Although the driver of the other car may be able to see where they are driving, it is the other motorists who CANNOT SEE THEM! What happens if you turn right across oncoming traffic at night and there is car coming in the opposite direction with no lights on? Or if you are trying to merge from a side street? Of the two instances I saw last week I managed to get one of them to turn on their lights (the other instance the person was driving in the opposite direction).

Why is it that whenever I just have to HAVE TO buy something and I get to the store, they are out of it. Not in stock or sold out and just not available for purchase so I end up having to drive to another store to get it. And then when I go back to the 1st store a week or so later and take a look there's heaps of it back on the shelf. So why not when I desperately needed it? *smh*

Why is it, that whenever I get my car fully detailed, it either rains or I get bird poop on my car?
Why? Do mega clean cars become magnets to birds? |

Why is it that at 2am when you're ferrying the tired and emotional punters home in your taxi, the most troublesome, contrary, time wasting punters are always, ALWAYS the 20 something indigenous females that then turns into aggressive self righteous indignation when you don't give in to their antics or stop the meter while they waste time or try to get a discount on the fare........... As soon as you get in the car you're on the meter until you tell me the ride is over and you're getting out, THEN I'll stop the meter.
