minor things that make you fume

NZ is very generous in its maternity leave provisions

On the second part, having put in my share then I should be entitled to a random break every so often as well. Why should I not receive some extra paid time off because I do not want a family? I just think it needs a major overhaul and should not be guaranteed unless they specifically pay into something for it.

Your first point makes sense but I just do not have enough optimism in me to think the future generations are going to be able to contribute much. Not because we're getting progressively less intelligent but the environment is shot, the economy is shot, ect.

I really just want a few months off paid so I can sit on my deck, drink wine, and love the fact I do not have screaming kids to be bothered by.

I'd also love a few months off but sadly I'll probably be 70 before that happens!

@The Cowboy has basically said where I was going on that one.

If you paid in such a scheme for Maternity/paternity you should be able to withdraw the cash if your circumstances change.

I'd say it'd be quite difficult to plan life to that degree. You may start off not wanting children and then change your mind later in life?

I've literally only just thought of this, so cut me a little slack...

The harsh person might say if you've even the slightest inkling that you'll have kids, then get cover. Perhaps it can be converted into a pension if you choose not to have kids or can't have kids.

Shopping for shirts when the shop leaves them in the packet. It's a pain getting them out of the packet then removing all the plastic pins and collar stays. But if you think that's bad, try putting the shirt back in the packet...it's impossible thanks in no small part to the sticky stuff on the packet. Annoys me enough, but imagine being the poor shop assistant who has to fix the packets back to a saleable condition?

I worked at Giorgio Armani back when I was a student and had to return every shirt perfectly back into that package. I would have to stay nearly two hours after close redoing them. Still have nightmares. It was infuriating because no one ever wanted to try the sample size shirts from the floor.

The way girls and lads of a certain age now just seem to be clones of eachother, where are the individuals?

If you want to see examples of these buffoons go to any gym or Nandos.

Lads - Full of gym supplements but clearly only train chest and biceps. Quiff. Beard (they look RIDICULOUS and often cover an alarmingly ugly grid). Nike Hirachis, Sleeve Tattoo. Sunbed Tan. Man up you gang of utter utter gimps.

Girls - Trout pout, Addicted to selfies, Fake Tan, Fake Lips, Go the shops in gym gear with sunnies on their heads.

Hate them all.

So true! My gym is full of all that, walk in and its like being in a live action commercial for Hollister.

What winds me up most about those bells is they load up the weights like their Arnie circa 1976 and don't use proper form. Why waste half your life in a gym if you are going to cheat!

I hear you brother.

I tend to just shake my head in disgust as I continue with my session.

I go to stores in gym clothes because when I am trying clothes on, why would I want to be bothered putting my outfit back together? Agree on all the other points though.
