I did get a customer complaint one time as well from a pregnant Karen who was deeply offended by coming in to rent a film and hearing Big Balls being blasted all around the shop. "No ma'am, it's about ballrooms and ballroom dancing!" She wasn't having any of it.

Seeing as she was up the duff You should have sang back to her "You had big balls, emptied big balls..."

Australian humour is either razor sharp black comedy or toe curlingly retarded, there is no in-between and there's far more of the latter than the former

What examples of the razor sharp black comedy are there? 

I was basing that off my interactions with Aussies back when I lived there!

"All the feels".

I could easily just say all modern internet cliches, but I choose to name them, one by one.

[The Heretic]

The term "sick" fucks me right off when used in any other way than to indicate being unwell


an an example
"man they're sick" = some boy racer has new alloys

etc etc

Incorrect use of POV all over social media lately drives me up the wall, along with 'not' such and such as the caption to a picture which is most definitely such and, indeed, such.

"Turning the sod" photo ops. Turning the sod is meant to indicate starting out with the first excavations on a greenfield site. Instead we get-

1. Fecking Enda Kenny trying it on for a vote stunt for something that still hasn't started 10 years later https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/arid-41794022.html

2. Bringing grass specially to a brownfield site, as there is no actual greenery or soil on site - see the above nonsense. And below also...

3. Again laying grass specially for a photo op, but 10 months after works actually started on site.

Then bullshitting about infrastructure bottlenecks being cleared for the development, when they made a mess of it and traffic is worse than ever. But yeah add 1,500 houses to the equation, that will surely work out...

Politicians would get a photo taken with a dog shiteing if they thought it would get votes

"Say it louder for the people in the back" is the one that gets me at the minute.

I was driving home this evening and our road is tight so you can only fit one car past in most cases. I see a ute coming towards me so I pull in and give a flash of the high beams. He is letting someone past which takes s few seconds and before he moves off another car appears in front of him from behind a parked car. No stress, I hang back to let them both through. The car which is now in front is fucking crawling at around 2km per hour... right so... then, as he gets closer he's grimacing and puts his hand over his eyes as though I'm blinding him with my lights! I check to make sure my high beams aren't on. Nope. He crawls past me looking in the window with the fucking eyes of Death on him  what a complete and utter tit. YOU'RE WELCOME, YOU FUCKING DOG!

Led lights?

"I can't move" is another bad one

People starting a sentence with "So..." drives me fucking nuts!!!!

[Eoin McLove]

Yup. What about... YOU GOT THIS!

[Thorn]

People starting a sentence with "So..." drives me fucking nuts!!!!

This. I highlighted it ages ago when it first became a thing and it annoys me even more now because ,through constant repetition, I've almost come to accept it. ..So I was out in the pub last night...ah Jesus man you were just out you weren't 'So I was  out' 

'You got this' and 'you smashed it' are also fucking teethgrinders.

The thing that annoyed me even more with 'So..' is that no one in the house understood what I was on about at time,.people just let these things sneak in and they don't even fucking notice . Or care. Arggh!!

And yes, old man shouts at sky and berates change and 'progress'.
