Is it bad manners? Noisy (or nosey) neighbours? Crude dress? Expensive groceries? Rainy days? I know this isn't an overly positive toipc, but as is life, we're only human and sometimes things just tick us off...

My frustration has nothing to do with driving, its the major duopoly or Coles and Woolworths adversarial adds and the fact that they get away with misleading statements. Then when I look at their adds and items on special what do we get? discounts on high sugr / fat products and items that are not meant to be part of a healthy lifestyle. Specials and reductions on Soft drinks and lollies, chocolate and biscuits do not help customers who have limited income and are trying to maintain a balance diet. There are so many stories and government adds about the obesity crisis and people being overweight, but the price of a balanced diet is costing the earth. Perhaps if the big supermarkets were to offer true discounts on key healthy ingredient more people would eat a balance diet.
