Then you cut and paste it into Word, use the change case command and recut and past it back.

Saved me retyping a few times.

Thanks Pete, wish i had of known (or thought of) that years ago

Common courtesy, savage, agree with you there big time.

Also when you let someone into traffic and no acknowledgement, not even a bloody wave. How hard is it?

As prev mentioned I work at bunnings, part of our service standard is to say g'day to customers as we encounter them. Gets my goat the number of people that reciprocate by just looking right through you without blinking an eye.

Love it though when you get someone who genuinely appreciates the help and time you have spent with them, more than makes up for the pr!cks

Can't stand people who let their dog crap on other people's lawn/nature strip. Just filthy Or drop cigarette butts on the ground & think nothing of it Bloody litterbugs.

Like it when you go into a shop and get some genuine excellent customer service from someone who knows their job and is a people person. Puts you on a high for a while

I don't like people who think they build themselves up by putting others down.

I am not particularly fond of those who cut in front of you to steal your carpark. I find this only angers people and some will damage the offender's car anyway (no, not me for this one).

I find cars that park on my nature strip sometimes get flat tyres.

Owners that allow their mutts to snap one off on my lawn are surprised to discover it activates the sprinklers.

Monkeys that drive too fast

What I do like is people who say thanks, are generally considerate (face it, we all have bad days) and treat everyone as equals, whether in the car, shop or anywhere else.

I especially like shop owners who don't take cr*p and tell their customers to take a hike when they deserve it.

Family I gotta put up with, but when others presume the same privilege... :mad:

Ditto. And I won't do anything for relatives. Once you do, they expect 24/7 service at no cost.

Committees:mad:

Redundant apostrophes!!

:confused: :confused: :confused:

I still hate them though (bugg'r'd a good weekend for me:mad: )

People who rewrite history!!

I can't stand weak handshakes. Bugs the snot out of me. Nothing worse than meeting a bloke who can't give a decent handshake. I'm not talking about a vice-like grip here, but I'm not trying to hold your hand, I'm trying to greet you! Some people's handshakes feel like you're shaking a dead fish.

On the flip side, I think it is funny when someone tries to give you the 'power handshake', with their hand over the top of yours. Cracks me up. If you think you are superior to me because your hand is above mine, then you're probably not, because I know it is just a handshake!

I also hate bad sports. The type that deliberately cheat to win a game. Like Italian divers.:mad: The 'Hand of God' goal by Maradona all those years ago is highly celebrated by the Argentinians - personally, my blood boils every time I see it.:mad:

I've got to say I really have a hate on for stupid people... Cricky I hate myself sometimes
