I'm not a whinger, but I hate it when drivers fail to indicate. It's not that hard!
Posted by Eric Tuesday 2 October, 2007 09:48 AM
Adding to Eric's, I've got another driving one. When learner drivers are taught 'politeness', not the law.
The other day an instructor made the learner break the law to let me turn... I appreciate it, but he's teaching the kid the wrong thing!

People who have music blaring out of their headphones while on public transport.

I'm not a whinger, but I hate people who don't jog paper before they staple it. What's next? Jumble the pages on your desk and put a staple through the centre?!
For f**ks sake just hold the pages together and tap them twice on any hard, flat surface. Only Stumpy (and maaaybe One-Eye) are exempt. All the rest of you - SMARTEN UP!

I AM WHINGING because I hate the use of the American accent to promote Australian venues and products.
Take the Movie World radio ad - yep played on Triple M. Not only is it an insult to our language, but also our voice people. It is just another way that our Australian society is becoming Amercianised! Can't we find our own Identity?

I'm not a winger but I hate it when people stand in stupid places, like when someone who stands in a doorway and has a full-on conversation.

I'm not a whinger but I can't stand people who push in when you are in a queue!

I'm not a winger but, I hate it when you listen to the radio on a friday afternoon at work and the ad for beer o'clock comes up and you still have 6 hours to work!

I am not a whinger BUT why do some of us Aussies pronounce Los Angeles as if it was spelt with an extra "e"
i.e Los Angelees
Also Gaol and Maroon - what's the story with the spelling when they are pronounced Jail, Marone .

im not a winger but, dont you hate it when the light turns green and people are really slow to react!

I'm not a whinger but, what is going on with wide screen TV's in pubs. Everyone looks three feet wide and short. If you're going to get a wide screen TV FFS plug the digital signal into it!

I'm not a winger but... I hate the Americanisation of our language.
Let's get it straight - we are Australian. We do not have fries, cookies, shopping carts, or study math (without the "s").
We do not order food to "take out" and we do not, not, not have cell phones.
As the "Friends" generation moves into middle age we are becoming an American mini-me in more than just politics!

I'm not a whinger but ... I f*%@ing hate it when people say 'anythinK' and 'somethinK' and 'nothinK' ... it is a G not a K. ANYTHING, SOMETHING AND NOTHING!!!!!

I am not a whinger but, why do we have to convince Holden to give us a ute when Wil is ready to give his car?!
Posted by Noor Friday 12 October, 2007 01:13 PM
I'm not a whinger but, why do the majority of "I'm not a whinger but" callers say it like they're milking their on-air time for all its worth? "I'm not a whinger....BUUUUUTTT....(pause).
Get to the point please!

I'm not a whinger, but I really, really, really hate a certain un-named Carpet wharehouse that seems to have closing down sales every second day.
Just freakin' close down already!! I swear if I see their ads one more time I will have to burn down their stores (NOT A REAL THREAT!!)
They've been closing down for the past 3 years! Enough already!
P.S. How about one of those Wil & Limo T's so I can look fully sick & wicked and that?

I'm not a whinger but, i hate John Howard!

It's annoying when the council has to clean off most of the graffiti in public places, and it comes back again!
Posted by Emily Chandra Monday 15 October, 2007 08:27 PM
I am not a whinger but ... I hate it when these professional traffic reporters sitting in helicopters keep telling us about traffic on such and such a road is slowing up.
You don't slow up. You speed up. You slow down. Ever heard of traffic speeding down? What the?

I'm not a whinger but, I hate the way born and bred South Australians just talk over top of you when you are speaking as if your lips aren't even moving!
Posted by alan smith Tuesday 16 October, 2007 10:04 PM
I' not a whinger but, I also hate John Howard!

I'm not a whinger but, being a pom for the last 32 years I have supported England in the Football and Rugby, but this year I have emigrated to Aussie and for the first time taken pride in supporting a winning team AUSTRALIA!
But just as I do, Aussie lose the Rugby to England! What the hell? England don't win anything - especially against the Aussies!
Posted by Mike Tate Wednesday 17 October, 2007 05:49 PM
I am not a whinger BUT, why do customers put money on the counter or throw it 10 blocks away when we, the shop, is right in front of them. THEN they have the whinge when we do it back to them.
Don't they see how rude they are? We shop assistants are human too: not doormats like some customers think we are.
Posted by sharon Wednesday 17 October, 2007 08:37 PM
I'm not a whinger but, when you go to Maccas and ask for a burger without pickles, for example, they usually turn around and tell you there will be a 5-10 min wait. How does that work when they are clearly putting less on the burger?
Posted by Ben Wednesday 17 October, 2007 08:55 PM
I'm not a whinger but, why when people are telling someone a website address do they point out that it's "all lower case and all one word"? It's always all one word and the case doesn't matter!
Posted by Jess Thursday 18 October, 2007 01:42 PM
I'm not a whinger but just what is it that I have to do to win something? I mean seriously!
I buy raffle tickets, scratchy tickets, even paddle pops with those stupid lick a prize thingies and do you think that I have won anything? EVER?? No - the universe has apparently turned against me. Either that or every single competition I have ever entered is rigged to not select my name. Which is clearly unfair.
I didn't even win the colouring competition at my primary school fete that only two people entered. Yep, that is right. I came runner-up and last at the same time!
Posted by Vanessa Thursday 18 October, 2007 02:44 PM
I'm not a whinger, but I hate people who walk really slow on footpaths or in shopping centres, stopping to take a look in each shop or to have a chat.
These people couldn't care less that they are blocking everyone else who tries to get past. This annoys the s*** out of me, I feel like pushing them down or getting in front of them and all of a sudden stopping and blocking them from passing me.
They are just inconsiderate wankers and need a good smack across the head!
Posted by Greg Nimmo Thursday 18 October, 2007 04:36 PM
I'm not a whinger but, I hate the way customers lick their fingers to get money out of their wallets and then hand it to me. Eew!
Posted by Jess Thursday 18 October, 2007 09:09 PM
I'm not a whinger but, (again) I hate it when muscle men type customers lift HUGE packs of coke onto the belt after we tell them not to.
And when I ask them to lift it down they say "Can you do it? My arm hurts."!
Posted by Jess Thursday 18 October, 2007 09:12 PM
I'm not a whinger, but.... Why do you only play Friday on My Mind on a bloody Monday!?
Posted by Brad Thursday 18 October, 2007 11:40 PM
I'm not a whinger, but is there a good reason why people shopping at supermarket deli counters ask the staff questions, which can be answered by READING THE DAMNED SIGNS!
Posted by John Friday 19 October, 2007 07:45 AM
I'm not a whinger but, why do the people at the checkout always tell you to select your account and enter you PIN. No shit sherlock! Some of us only took 15 years to figure out EFTPOS!
Posted by Andrew Friday 19 October, 2007 02:07 PM
I'm not a whinger BUT... Why does the Vodaphone "recharge your phone" service have a chick telling me my credit is nearly gone?
I already know! That's why I'm calling the recharge service!

I'm not a whinger BUT why in hell does my fiance have the need to "organise" the music collection on the computer all the time?
I can't count the amount of times in the last 3 God Damn Days I've had to search through media player to find my songs because my playlists are out of whack.
Do it again babe, I dare ya!
Posted by Lauren Monday 22 October, 2007 11:11 AM
Greg Nimmo is spot on! I am sick to death of idiots walking through shopping centres without any regard for everyone else!
I feel like part of the 1% of people that watch where they are going and end up having to duck and weave through crowds of lemmings that think the universe will magically clear a path for them. For stuffs sake people, switch on!
Oh and another one... I play cricket at Moore Park, and some inconsiderate parents and kids from the netball courts walk straight across the field while we are trying to play, holding up our game.
Do we walk across the netball courts mid-game? NO! Imagine if we played on and some little girl got taken out by a rogue cricket ball! Wait 'til the end of the over or walk around us! Gosh!

I'm not a whinger but, why do politicians (especially John Howard) always turn up to sporting events?
Earlier this year he turned up to present the medals at the A-league grand final.
Will everyone welcome the honourable John How- BOOOO!
For God's sake, no one wants you there!
Posted by Dylan Monday 22 October, 2007 09:43 PM
I'm not a whinger but... I'm standing at the traffic lights waiting to cross and someone comes and presses the button to cross too.
DO YOU THINK I"VE BEEN STANDING THERE DOING NOTHING? I know how to press a button, mate.
And while I'm at it, I may as well double dip: I'm not a whinger but... why does anything involving children have to be spelt wrong? Kidzworld? Youthworx? How dumb do they think the kids are?
Posted by Lucas Moro Wednesday 24 October, 2007 03:39 PM
I'm not a whinger but I hate when they put the lights on during the credits at the movies.
Come on, I spend my hard earned $8 dollars on tight ass Tuesday to enjoy all the entertainment I can and I appreciate all the hard work all those people did, so let me watch the credits in peace and darkness!
Posted by Daniel Wednesday 24 October, 2007 05:35 PM
I'm not a winger but, I hate it when someone asks at work (Automotive workshop, in Kew) what days we are open (Monday-Saturday, closed Sunday) and the customer complains that we are not open 7 days a week and why we can't open up shop for them (like they should get special treatment)!
Posted by TheGav Wednesday 24 October, 2007 06:06 PM
I'm not a whinger but, I hate people who ask you about your weekend just so they can tell you all about how great their's was!
Posted by Ali Wednesday 24 October, 2007 06:14 PM
I'm not a whinger but, why do Americans insist on saying "Tuna Fish". HELLO? Tuna is fish. The fish part is not required.
I mean you don't say - um can I please have a ham pig sandwich. It irritates the hell out of me.
PS. love your show. I can tell who is listening to you on the train because we are all laughing together :)
Posted by Karen Findley Wednesday 24 October, 2007 08:44 PM
I'm not a whinger BUT, I hate people who whinge and complain about you doing something and they tell you to stop, and then they proceed to do the exact same thing 10 minutes later.
Posted by Nick Wednesday 24 October, 2007 10:04 PM
I'm not a whinger BUT, I can't stand when your darling wife buys the PS2 singstar and hogs the TV singing love songs every night in the most off-key fashion and then taking offence when I don't agree she would win Australian Idol next season!
Posted by Stephen Mulhall Wednesday 24 October, 2007 11:12 PM
I'm not a whinger but, I HATE it when you boil your frankfurts and just as you think they're ready to take out of the pot. Whammo! They split. Positively Filthy.
Posted by Stephen Mulhall Wednesday 24 October, 2007 11:25 PM
I'm not a whinger but, what is it when you ring a department store, for example K-Mart and they answer Welcome.
You're not even bloody there. How can they welcome you when you're not there!
Posted by mark Thursday 25 October, 2007 12:52 AM
I'm not a whinger, but I hate it when people come around the office, cubicle to cubicle, asking to 'chip in' for a leaving present for someone I don't even know!
Plus he's leaving, so it's not like I get to say "Hey, did you like your present? I put in $5 you know...".
Aaargh!!!
Posted by Gillian Thursday 25 October, 2007 09:26 AM
i'm not a whinger, but I hate it when you buy a packet of lollies that say they're 'wrapped' yet there are alwys three or 4 that aren't!
Posted by Christine Thursday 25 October, 2007 11:15 AM
I'm not a winger but, how about those bunches of fat, arrogant people, who decide the best place to congregate to have a chat amongst themselves is a public thoroughfare - something like a crowded shopping isle or in a shopping mall right in the centre of the walkway.
Fat people - grow a fat brain and sit your fat arse down on a nice comfy seat provided by the lovely shopping centre fairies and chat to your heart's content.
Think of those of us who budget their time well and have places to be and people to see. grrrrrr.
Posted by Cliff Thursday 25 October, 2007 03:58 PM
I'm not a whinger but, I hate the message in the Burnley tunnel in Melbourne.
It cuts off the radio and when you try to get some peace by putting the radio on mute it's playing outside. You can't escape it!

I'm not a whinger but, I hate bus drivers and arrogant four-wheel drive owners!

IM NOT A WHINGER BUT... I hate it when you walk into a lift and the person that walks out has left a foul fart smell for you to enjoy... nine levels to your stop!
Posted by Jennifer Friday 26 October, 2007 04:34 PM
I'm not a whinger but, don't be in the fast lane and do 20-30kms below the speed limit.
Hello, pull over! It so annoying on a highway!
Posted by Amanda Saturday 27 October, 2007 02:54 PM
I'm not a whinger but, why do a group of people have to stand in the middle of a mall?
For example, blocking people while having a chat - move over people!
When I'm out with my girls (one in a pram) I have to swerve to avoid them and the standard car lottery prize. AARRGGHHH!
Posted by Amanda Saturday 27 October, 2007 02:56 PM
I'm not a whinger but, I hate it when people use caps lock instead of shift when they only want one capital letter!
Posted by Griffin Saturday 27 October, 2007 05:19 PM
I'm not a whinger but, I can't stand it when a TV station puts their promo somewhere other than last in the ad break: they are supposed to be the cue to stop fast forwarding! But when they are out of sequence you have to keep stopping and starting and rewinding to get to the start of the next segment of the show!
Posted by matt Sunday 28 October, 2007 10:41 AM
I'm not a whinger but, why do they make newspaper out of paper that sticks together or even disintergrates as soon as it gets the tiniest amount of liquid on it?
They know people read the paper at breakfast when there is milk and juice and coffee everywhere, and the paper always gets wet and then you can't turn the pages cos' they are all in one gelatinous mass!
Posted by matt Sunday 28 October, 2007 10:52 AM
I'm not a whinger but, why do radio stations claim to have ad-free hours when they have a five minute ad between each song banging on about how their station don't have any ads!
Posted by matt Sunday 28 October, 2007 10:54 AM
I'm not a whinger but, how come no-one remembers how we used to be able to arrange to meet people at a public place like a pub without having to all call each other five times on the mobile phone asking things like, "I'm at the door, where are you?"
I'M EITHER THERE ALREADY OR ON MY WAY, IT WILL BE OK!!
Posted by matt Sunday 28 October, 2007 11:00 AM
I'm not a whinger but, how come Kenny Loggins' Footloose is on every "One Hit Wonder" compilation known to man when he also sang "Danger Zone" from Top Gun? That's TWO hits, people!
Posted by matt Sunday 28 October, 2007 11:05 AM
I'm not a whinger but, I hate those people that get onto a bus (or train) and when there are no seats they stand right in the doorway of the veichle!
Posted by alistair Sunday 28 October, 2007 12:38 PM
I'm not a whinger but, am I the only one still annoyed that we have to call Nestles Nest-lay, rather then Nestles?
It's just not right having the Milky Bar Kid advertising Nest-lay Milky Bar. Ooh la-di-da! It's Nestles!
Posted by matt Sunday 28 October, 2007 03:07 PM
I'm not a whinger but, if you are behind me at the traffic lights and it is a lane where you can either go straight or turn, and I don't have my blinker on, if a green arrow appears, DON"T HONK ME JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO TURN - I WANT TO GO STRAIGHT AHEAD!
That's why I don't have my blinker on and did not turn when the arrow appeared!
Posted by Matt Sunday 28 October, 2007 03:14 PM
I'm not a whinger but, I'm sick of seeing pink grips on cricket bats in my local cricket competition... and also can I please please please please please have a Wil & Lehmo t-shirt. I would ring in but I have been training every Wednesday so I don't have time.
Posted by matt ahern Sunday 28 October, 2007 08:18 PM
Im not a whinger but, I hate the person who stole my mobile on the weekend and when I rang it, answered, laughed and said 'thanks for the new phone'. Surely that deserves a god damn t-shirt!
Posted by Jenny Tuesday 30 October, 2007 08:08 PM
I'm not a whinger but, why do people take so long to buy a movie ticket at the cinema? How hard is it?
You decide what movie you want to see either before you get there or read the boards, walk up to the counter and hand over your money.
Why are you standing there having a full-on conversation with the ticket seller or each other?
You don't have to pick out a seat and you surely don't need to ask for a review! Just buy it & MOVE ON!
Posted by Jules Wednesday 31 October, 2007 11:08 AM
I'm not a whinger but, I hate it when driving on the highway people stay in the right hand lane and do wayyyyy less that the bloody speed limit! MOVE OVER!
Posted by Michelle Wednesday 31 October, 2007 01:21 PM
I'm not a whinger but, I hate it how the Ten network have started calling episodes "eps". They are episodes!
And why, WHY do they (and Seven) after already having slabs of ads with a sliver of programming now insist on putting adverts across the bottom of that sliver of programming! Keep the ads in the ad break!
Posted by Liz Wednesday 31 October, 2007 03:48 PM
I'm not a whinger but, I hate it when you think of something fantastic, but when you come to write it down you completely forget it. (That is what happened to me here!)
