The one small thing that I have noticed recently is the people that don't realise in the big smoke many traffic lights are triggered from sensors cut into the road surface. This often happens when their vehicle is too far from the line and then they wonder why the lights wont change...

kingdragonfly: While commuting, Kiwis lack basic merging abilities

"Line cutter" I signal, find a spot to merge, and merge. Meanwhile the person behind me, tails me, once I merge goes flying up the remaining merge lane, doesn't signal, and cuts in front of as many people as possible

"Me first": see merge coming, tails person in front, ignores the speed of merging traffic.

"Lines, what lines?" the moment they can cross traffic, without mounting a curb, they cross over white solid lines.

"It's an emergency! I want to get to work!" Using emergency lane as new lane for passing.

"Oh my gosh, Why's the traffic so fast?" Doesn't use the merging lane to accelerate. As they are being pushed unto the highway, floors it.

"Choices, choices..." Runs up parallel to merging car

"You only live once" Motorcycle passing between cars where cars are merging.

Am I missing any?

What merging Traffic? - I'm staying in the left lane regardless of all the cars trying to join the motorway
I need to get off! - My exit is only 2.5km away, i need to get into the left lane right now!
Really, this is an exit lane? - I hope you don't mind if I use it as a high speed overtaking lane then barge back into the traffic later

And this isn't helped by the green cyclist waiting areas which the council started painting in 10 or so years ago (at least in Wellington, I expect it's the same elsewhere) but they didn't bother to move the sensor loops back at the same time.

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

Behodar:

I just had the "joy" of using the Airbnb site for the first time. Good grief, do they ever test things before inflicting them on the world?!

Email verification link just goes to the home page without actually verifying the address
A different email verification link just goes to the previous page and doesn't even send the email
It asks me to upload a photo, says it's not required, but doesn't let you continue without it.
How is this thing so popular?

....

and now airBnB will start sending you a stream of reminders and notifications...

The 'big' tyre sellers websites. I know the specs, I'm just looking for prices but all of them want you to call them or email you a quote.

It's 2019 and I want to buy some rubber from you, I'm not asking you to renovate my house. Your websites might just as well be a static page with store locations and phone numbers.

Kids who have hang ups about spotty bananas

Even more so when said kid peels whole banana to check the flesh underneath...

Causing said banana to overbalance and break/fall onto the floor.

Now kid won't eat the banana because it's broken and dirty.

3 Deep breaths...

Speaking as a parent, you could have stopped after the first word...

My cat. Today he discovered the attic and I've had to twice extricate him from up there so far.

People who dont indicate right at a roundabout and then honk at you when you dare to pull out despite the fact that there was no way you could possibly have made them brake because they were trundling along at a snails pace.

Virgin Australia airport kiosks can't handle the apostrophe in my Irish name. I have to go to the bag drop off and get a staff member to check in.
