Marketing that is just wrong.
Here is a well known one, Almond milk. Since when did almonds have nipples?
Oats too now.

Wind farms, since when did they make wind, i thought it was power! :unknown:
What pisses you off.

Barista bakeries piss me off. I go in to get a pie and an ice coffee and I've gotta wait 15 minutes while the person behind the counter makes someone a creamy frappacino with an extra drizzle of bull semen and a slice of lemon ffs

That would be all bakeries in SA too.
Or how would they say “the bahrista baakerie. Perhaps some scones with some maarmelaide would be nice and a boysenberret tart.
And then you walk out with your freshly squeezed free range orange juice that’s tastes exactly like coles juice, some stale buns dipped in flour and a f***ing standard garden variety blueberry tart that you could have bought a pack of 12 from coles for the same price.
Very pretentious but also in a creepy kinda way and you have to wonder what those blue barrels out back the of bakery really have in them.
You sure are in the wrong place for a meat pie with sauce. All their country towns are surreal, feels like you’re in bat country. Half the people in the town are probably vampires.

What really p!sses me off,,,,,

You go into a shop and you get for example,, A bottle of milk.
You place it on the counter/checkout,,, and get ready to pay for it.
Then the store person or checkout chick looks at you and says,,,, "Is that all ?"

The last time that happened to me, I made an exaggerated close up look at the bottle of milk,, looked up and down the counter,,, did a 360 degree turn looking behind me,, then emptied the contents of my pocket,,, and then said, "Well I'm pretty certain that's all I wanted, and as you can clearly see,,,, I didn't have a roast chook hidden in my pocket."
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
And,,,,It's been proven,,,,, the most trustworthy females in my entire life were all canines.

The freaking up selling at servos. I don’t have a way to deal with it.
“You want a lighter yes. You want caramelo koala . Look at my caramelo koalas” gesturing “ special price for 2
Just holding my card out blindly searching for the eftpos staring left and right trying to ignore him
Just holding my breath so i don’t tell him where he can shove his stupid koalas.
I just don’t have a handle on these confrontations. I just want fuel stop harassing me. I’m not answering your questions. Take the payment for the fuel .
“You want banana”
No no i don’t need a banana. Really please i did’nt come in here to buy a banana. Just stop. Because I’m going to assault you with a banana if you don’t let me go. I swear to god I will hunt you down with that banana

If he’s showing them what he has in his pants under the guise of look at my chicken, I think the security guard knows him well too.
