It take's me half an hour to read some posts (here and on Social Media) because I have to decipher the three letter acronyms before I can move on.

Random apostrophes.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

The fact that you have to load a lot of the Bunnings product pages twice in order to get all of the content to be displayed.

I think that might just be your browser, I use their page a lot and have never had that issue. Search and multiple pages of results not supporting the back/forward buttons is what really bugs me with their site.

I used to suspect that until I noticed it on other computers as well... having said that, it may have been Firefox on all of them, I'll have to re-check later.

Having to press back twice to go back on certain webpages. Also Firefox.

Don’t tell me. The other end says “See other end for opening instructions”. :-)

I amused my Son for an alarming amount of time when he was very little, with a bit of paper that said "please turn over" on both sides :)

That's because when it's stored the right way up, the tasty flavouring sinks to the bottom, so you get less flavour with the crackers at the top. By opening the bottom, the coating redistributes throughout the crackers, leading to a more enjoyable culinary experience.

That's a great theory - and one of the things about it that messed with my head. Unfortunately it's probably not true - the images on opposing sides are inverted - on the other side of carton held the right way up the "open other end" is at the bottom - where it should be.

The best explanation I can think of is that I've been conned. They did it so people would post images and comments / speculation on social media to gain as much exposure / free advertising as they could.

In retaliation, I'll just say that they're bloody awful crackers, I fed one to my cat and something happened.

Reminds me of a joke. It was an Irish joke and I have no idea if you're allowed to tell those or not these days. It was to do with confusing people by putting them in a round room and telling them there was a pound note in the corner!
