I’ll be avoiding trains as much as possible,especially in peak hour times .If I catch one in the early morning at my closest train station (Morningside)it will be very crowded before it stops here if its a 3 car service
as theres plenty of stations before mine
I’m not looking forward to the three-car trips through Lindum this week with the reduced timetable, I miss the express services I used to get
New pet peeve. The word Mickelberg and anything associated with it.
It’s negotiation, please stop trying to avoid it like the plague.
In fairness it’s better than the codes they use like CACA and BRBR and VLBD currently although on the information displays it’s usually “City & [insert terminus here]” or “[insert terminus here]” and the line colour. Things like CACA and CAIP don’t help, especially when a line is short running due to track work
That Mickelberg looks like a big unit, doesn’t he? I bet Mr Mickleberg could sort out your state’s transport worries by running that Mickleberg package at the unions, couldn’t he? 4MMM could now stand for 4 Mickleberg Mickleberg Mickleberg - could stand for the number of kids less one he has. I reckon deep down you really love Mr Mickleberg with all his Mickleberg goodness.

Had no idea who he was .. so Googled him.
Yep, might get a call up from QLD Origin selectors yet!
Got no idea where to post this, but I’m peeved.
How come Gina Reinhardt can have violent anal rape held up as satire on the abc, yet Tara Moriarty wants to take offence with social media posts.
I can’t see the difference, I’m no fan of either but why support a platform for one but defend the other . Is it one of Ashbys plans? Or are some people worth more attention and respect in the abc lenses.
There’s some words I didn’t want to read in the same sentence…
My Pet Peeve today is keyboard warriors who don’t understand that a weather forecast is a scientific prediction of what is the most likely outcome and isn’t a 100% garuntee.
I can adhere to that
Especially as a ‘Storm-Chaser’ myself.
The weather is unpredictable.. Just look back at that 1999 Sydney Hailstorm. Wasn’t forecasted yet became the worst storm disaster in Australia (to my knowledge)
Fairly sure the September 2016 storms in SA top that (statewide blackout, massive flooding, a mini tornado)
I think it was something to do with the damage cost or something
Either way… weather is unpredictable
People who stand in the middle of a aisle at an expo not going one way or the other, towards a stall, having a boring old conversation and blocking people from getting through.
Take your conversation elsewhere, and I hope you failed at the marathon and had to be carted to a hospital. ![]()
Also, the lack of train guards on trains. I was on a train from Lidcombe to Olympic Park and there was one guy (think of people who would be classified as “derros” or “Collingwood supporters” or “South Sydney supporters”)who was clearly not all there yelling and swearing his head off and noticeably making people very uncomfortable.
Dude have you been in my brain because I have experienced what you are peeving on about lol ? Especially when people are stopping and talking in the middle of shopping aisle and you are battling to get through .
I have been in Melbourne for two years and this has been an going problem nowhere near as bad as Perth.
people standing around talking in supermarket aisles so other people can’t get past and talking too loud
A major pet peeve for me also
And people who walk across the bottom of escalators blocking me from getting off them. Happened to me again today.
Just say excuse me and usually people would in kd let you through or if that doesn’t work just scream I have to go to the toilet move like a maniac and scream I can’t be held responsible if I wee wee myself and the stink gets on it ![]()
I did that on the esculatord at Raine square on the esculators to thr main mall when I was living in Perth
.
What I am getting annoyed at is parents using the prams on the esculators with their kids in it , see this a lot in Chadstone , but I admit it happens everywhere.
Don’t parents read the sign no prams ? How hard is it to find a lift and there is plenty of them in Chadstone and other shopping centers.
