Well the Bali thing fits in with the Beach thing, so there's that As for excess alcohol intake, I see the well heeled inner city Bogans do the same via a glass or two of Shiraz of an evening. Is that better than the once a week beer binge? I don't think so. Both are 'excess', just portioned out on different schedules. Blunnies ... well I'm a Redbacks/Docs girl myself. And I don't mind a flannel shirt, when the work calls for it I like your definition, even though it's the 1970's original. It's fun to go old school sometimes!
A fiend of my daughter once described an acquaintance as " she's common. Goes to Bali." I thought this was very funny. Are you confessing to being a bogan, Crank? I wear Redbacks too when gardening .
I'm not sure if I'm a Bogan. I could be, but having long since left the city/suburban life well behind, I suspect I'm more Redneck these days. At least I hope so! I don't do a lot of the Bogue favourites: travel, beaches, shopping, fashion, wine, tattoos, etc .. so ya know ...
My sister as well. The high pitched noise of her sneeze will actually clear a bystander's sinus . . . while making his heart shudder.
People say who "what?" even though they heard what you were saying and interrupt you halfway through repeating the question by answering it: "Did you hear about the cow-sized duck who choked on a piece of duck-sized bread?" "...Sorry, what?" "That gigantic duck who had some br-" "Oh, yes. the cow-sized duck who choked on a piece of duck-sized bread - hilarious!" The same kind of people are those who will repeat a joke someone else made just two seconds ago: X: "I was late for my interview and in my rush, I didn't realise my cat had pooped in my shoes until I arrived to the job interview." Y: "Oh, what a cat-astrophy! *wink* *wink*" Z: ... "That's what they call a cat-astrophy huehuehuehuehue." On the extremely rare occasions I go to a nightclub there are mainly two categories of people that irritate the hell out of me and the first one is dudes who are stone drunk and clinge all over everyone with their sweaty body and try to initate a conversation with everyone with their loud and incoherent chit-chat - just f- off, m'kay? The second one being girls who pretend to be more drunk than they are and act all wild and loud to gain attention. Not because they want the attention in itself, they just want to boost their egos - I am Cinderella, look at me! Everyone wants me lol, but they can't have me 'cos' I am Cinderella lol. Actually, 9/10 people at nightclubs are really, really, really annoying. Ugh.
Especially public transportation is the stronghold of annoying behaviours. Here we find those flippen parents who burry their faces in their phones and allow their noisy kids to take over the entire vechicle! And how about those trashy teenagers who blast their trashy music from their phones? Or those horsetards who take a seat next to you even if the buss is dead empty? Or young females who talk abiout their worthless lives until they reach their destination? And those uncoordinated fools who just have to rise up 5 minutes before the bus reaches the stop and stumble all over the place? The amount of annoying people in this setting is countless! I also hate it when some silly goose says or does something stupid that makes you giggle, feeling like a complete psycho who's laughing in his loneliness.
Yep, that's Cinderella for you.She likes to pretend everyone wants her. but they can't have her because she's Cinderella. I hate it when I see her.
Or watching "Bad Lip Reading" YTs on your phone. I defy you to try not ending up looking barking mad, to your fellow travellers.
But, eait! There is more: Desoriented, middle-aged women on their bikes who ring their bells to signal "get the f- out of the way" when they are miiiles away. Or when the same type of woman frowns upon you for walking on the bike lane when the walking lane is completely empty - Who the heck cares, just use the "wrong" lane, ffs. I no longer use Facebook, but part of the reasons I left was these self-absorbed girls who would post something not even they mother would care about such as "Time to watch 'Game of Thrones'!" followed by a half naked picture of themselves posing for their mirror. Even worse is when you can tell from the background that their room is an absolute mess. How about you at least shove that pile of t-shirts underneath the carpet before masturbating to your own reflection and decide to share it with the world? How are the two even related? 'Game of Thrones' and your face, I mean? So confusing. Random children who run around in circles and ask you stupid questions out of the blue; Whose are they? Are they orphans? Nobody really knows and thankfully they mostly only pop up three or four times during summer time.
OMG .. people who take selfies in front of their domestic squalor. Yes indeedy, very weird. And random kids seeking your attention in public places ... that grinds my gears more than I can say. I adore children, and rarely feel ill will towards any of 'em. Even in this case I don't feel ill will towards THEM, but I feel seething hatred (almost) for the parent/s who is failing so completely at providing adequate attention/focus, and supervision, that the poor starved-for-attention child is forced to talk to strangers to find acknowledgement that they exist. Okay ..... I admit there's also a small voice inside which responds with "ahhh ... nope, I'm done talking to small children until the grandbabies arrive, find someone else".
Rudeness. Example.... idiots at the grocery store who stand and talk, blocking the aisle. To which, I walk over and move their cart(s) out of the way. Get some pretty funny looks. Also
People who leave their dogs in the alley space between buildings or in front yards and the f*ckers bark their heads off at everybody who passes by.
It's affecting other people given that the noise travels. I love dogs, but the barky ones... let's just say one of the main red flags at the dog shelter is the dog barking.
People walking in public places who appear to be oblivious to others. They stop in the middle of a sidewalk without considering those walking behind them. Or leave their grocery carts in the middle of an aisle to get something further down, or in another aisle. More and more I see inconsiderate behaviour in public places...
And yet it's music to the ears of their owners? When you analyse it, if a returning alien tried to describe barking they could only report that it's the weirdest sound they ever heard. I once asked a doggy person on the Pets forum what they'd do if, after they acquired a new dog, it was a constant barker and had the most grating 'finger-nails-on-slate' bark, and I asked if they'd be able to put up with it for the rest of the dog's life, or would they rather have it de-barked (a painless and simple procedure). Believe it or not, the reply was they'd rather put up with the barking than have it de-barked. I will never understand doggy-people, not in a million years!
They might find a dog psychologist to help them or they'd surely go mad. We were mortified years ago when a neighbour apologetically told us that our dogs had separation anxiety! (We made sure that we minimised the time they spent without us, gave them engrossing toys and big bones.)
There are only two things that send me over the edge: Ordering a chianti that is supposed to have hints of oak and chocolate overtones but instead it has hints of chocolate and oaky overtones. Being called a wine snob. People who do not know how to count.
Ignorant ****ers who call you stuck up if you point out how shitty the bus to work is, as if they shun success and want the public bus seat stopping where everyone else needs to go rather than riding into work in your own luxury car going where you want to go. - It's Communist.
I have a hard time sitting across people who talk with food in their mouths or chew and smack their lips ridiculously loud. lol
