^ Even a tarpaulin doesn’t deter some people. I have had a well secured one untied to have rubbish deposited.
The mistake they made was one of the bags had a home address visible on one of letters, so I was able to return it to them.

Idiots on the bus who don't seem to understand the phrase, "Excuse me, I need to get that [insert thing] from behind you so I can get off the bus".

They jst stand there, like it's some massive inconvenience having to move a few inches to one side to allow you the room to actually get off the bus and see them on their way again.

And then there's the backpack wearing standing passengers on the bus who never seem to understand that the extra 30cm protruding from their back is perfectly placed to smash repeatedly into the face of seated passengers adjacent to them and who seem genuinely offended when you politely ask if they could remove their backpack.

Folks who ride the Wairarapa train and get on in Wellington and place their bag on the seat beside them who then pack a sh!t when asked to move it so others can sit.

The best way to prevent anyone coming to sit next to you on public transport is to smile broadly and gently pat the empty seat next to you a few times every time someone else gets on. 😜

Happens all the time. I had a camera take 8 days to travel from Auckland to Martinborough. The lazy so and so's don't seem to work at weekends, so stuff just sits there in a depot doing nothing when it could be getting closer to the destination.

Seven days later, and still a little boy waits...

There

That's your problem right there. Your package is waiting for them to check that there's no coke in it.

Slight annoyance
When people refer to SUVs as Jeeps “I’ve been looking at buying a Jeep” what like a Grand Cherokee? “No, a Mitzi Pajero”... that’s not a Jeep

Apparently it's an abbreviation of GP, "general purpose [vehicle]" so it's semi-generic.

It's worse than that. My wife, who catches that train almost every day of the working week, tells me that some of the more self-centred regulars actually consider that particular seats on particular carriages are 'theirs' and will get visibly irritated if they find some third party sat in that seat when they arrive on the train!

Sounds like progress to me. Next stop, get the furry menace to do the laundry.

*g* Endless Brexit. Scary to see what 'serious' politicians are able to.

I avoid Big Tech amap. They try hard to dictate technology and „culture“ across borders.
In effect we have everything to hide from someone, and no idea who „someone“ is.
