What cheeses me off

but the adapters are so little and I lost another one on the weekend

I usually carry one spare USB-A to USB-C cable. Comes in handy from time to time.

Trucks that insist on being in the right hand lane on roads where they cannot get up to or maintain 100km/h, eg the uphill of the freeway tunnels.

A little bit of nuance to my annoyance on this one.

If it's two lanes and the truck is struggling to get over 80 overtaking a fully laden semi that wouldn't be even doing 40, then I'm fine, usually they move back in once they get a chance.

Best practice: there's a substantial stretch of the Melbourne-Geelong freeway (with plenty of cameras) where heavy vehicles (>4.5t) aren't allowed to use the right lane of the 3 lane carriageway. Although this godforsaken boring road has no hills or rises at all.

These dont fast charge, there really is no excuse for not having the universal standard connector which is USB-C given this isnt remotely new technology.

WCMO today is BUPA. Wishing Id never switch health funds. Paid to switch on 31st March to lock in pricing for policy to start on 15-Apr. Clearance certificate provided by old fund on 16-Apr, BUPA still havent processed it, means I cant yet claim on physio or dental and I have bookings for both next week. Been on hold for 30 minutes, must be getting a lot of other complaints.

Standardizing coverage into gold, silver etc was supposed to make switching immediate with no gap in coverage. Instead you pay and cant use fund because they are tardy to process clearance certificates on the day they are sent.

Agree, I have no issue with truck pulling out to overtake as long as it CAN get past and they don't pull out when there is nothing behind me. Yes I know they have to keep their momentum going and be in sweet spot revs for power delivery, but I could be past in a matter of seconds.

For all the issues with large trucks there are still idiots when the trucks leave a lot of room as they are slowing down for intersections or lights and some bright spark thinks oh there's all that space I'll nip in front of the truck and then get upset when they get honked at.

The truckies know how much space they need to stop safely
