People who act funny when you say you don't want to work in Joburg.

Like "yeah sure, I love sitting in soul-destroying traffic 3 hours a day just to work & back, and avoiding chicanes (taxis/buses) as far as I go, even on weekends on a simple trip to the shops - dodgem is awesome!".
 
Spending time selecting a few nice juicy apples only to have them bashed around by the packer at checkout.
 
Took my car to a workshop in Boksburg on 29 July - respray and replacing valve stem seals. Asked him how long it will take - 4 to 5 weeks. And today I still don't have my car. Starting to lose my ****. Phoned the guy on 29 August, asked him if the car will be ready before 16 September (when my gran returned - we were using her car). "Yes, long before then". My gran returned, stayed here for 4 weeks, returned to PE for another 4 weeks and is returning back home already.

2 Wednesdays (13 days) ago he 'was just putting everything back together". The following weekend I phoned him, no the bumper still needs to dry properly. Apparently that has taken another 10 days.

He was supposed to bring the car this morning, told my wife to wait for him, now he's coming with other crap that he needs to organise for other clients.

15 weeks and 3 days. He told me 4 to 5. I gave him 10 weeks leeway, but I'm feeling like killing someone today.

Got bad news for you - either your car is long gone, or there is something chronically wrong with it..

Tell him if you don't have it by Friday, you are reporting it stolen and telling the cops where you last saw it.
 
People who refer to their computers as 'rigs'.

Does it drill for oil? No. Does it do any rigging? No.

So why name it that? I get it sounds cool and what not but the whole concept of calling it that just sounds...off.
