These Are The Most Annoying People On The Internet Right Now
These Are The Most Annoying People On The Internet Right Now

With the internet now taking up over 8 hours of our day, it’s no bloody wonder that it’s beginning to give us the shits. To be honest, it’s not the internet’s fault – it’s the people who use it.

Mothers, fathers, colleagues, the unemployed, and vegans (yes, especially vegans). We asked readers who annoys them the most online. It turns out we’re all guilty of these. Except me. I’m awesome.

1. The Rapid Fire Poster

When a woman gives birth the oxytocin kicks in and they have to love their child even if it has red hair. At this time another switch flicks and they feel the need to share multiple photos every 20 minutes on Facebook and Instagram. Everything is fair game – a poop, coming last in an egg and spoon race, and/or a slightly out of focus photo that was almost good but you’ll post it anyway.

2. The Exerciser

When the going gets tough, you go and take some selfies at the gym. #smashit #fitspo #nopain For special occasions, you even set the self-timer and strategically position your phone against a dumbbell. #busted

3. The Needy Follower

Trawl through the comments of any famous person and you’ll see the needy following in full flight. Their attempts at getting attention will often go like ‘Heeeeeey Jim!, I love you, please follow me’. The truth is, famous person Jim probably doesn’t want to see a 14 year old girl from the hills take selfies with her cat in her pyjamas.

4. The Enthusiastic Relative

My aunt is a repeat offender here. Her enthusiastic encouraging of my holidays, girlfriends, and horseplay is borderline psychotic. ‘Hey, looking good!’ and ‘Wow, you’ve grown up!’ are just some of the golden nuggets the exuberant relative offers. Sadly, you cannot tell Aunty Jude to pull her head in without Christmas Day retribution.

5. The Autocorrectors

Nobody likes a know it all. In fact, everyone hates know it alls and the internet is full of them. The Autocorrector feels it’s their god given right and duty to point out every single thing that’s incorrect. They’re like the Fact Police. You know that?! People make mistakes, GirthMonster487!!!

6. The Inspirational Quoter

Feeling blue? Or perhaps you just need to be reminded that essence is the beauty of moisture? The Inspirational Quoter is forever hijacking quotes from the web, getting into Photoshop, and serving bullshit each day. These posts come thick and fast and are best avoided by those of us in touch with reality.

7. The Over Sharer

This one is by far the worst of them all: the person who shares what they’re eating, what they’re doing, and where they’re going with the world. There’s a limit to how much people care about. Have I told you lately that an individual with this much drive and determination is a very intimidating and dangerous human?  You’ve been warned.

8. The In-Comment Arguer

The long-term unemployed and mentally challenged are usually the ones who are going head to head in the comments section. The In-Comment Arguer is typically found on the Instagram accounts of Lebron James and Justin Bieber, defending their honour one lame keystroke at a time.

9. The Recruiter

Whether it’s promoting a pyramid scheme, pimping the local CrossFit studio, or trying to sell average developer talent, the recruiter is the ultimate online pest. Infiltrating your inbox and social media like the smell of cheese feet, these fine souls just can’t take a hint.

10. The Vegan Yogi

You and your kale acai bowl, flexibility, sunrise photos, #blessed hashtags, downward dogs, and phoney positive attitude aren’t fooling anyone. Deep down we know you’re a crumbling mess, just like that delicious organic gluten-free carob brownie we had at lunchtime.

11. The Sponsored By

These folk get through life paying for nothing but for this privilege they must post countless photos with shoutouts to their gravy train. ‘Fab day looking trim. Thanks to @ProteinPower @LocalCrossFit and @TeethWhitening and my free clothes from @HighlyFlamableFashionBrand and @CheapChineseServoSunglasses.’ 

12. The Candid LOLer

‘OMG I’m having so much fun. So many lols today.’ Just stop. Your poor subservient partner has spent the last 90 minutes trying to take the perfect photo of your wonky ass. Sadly, he’s in too deep. How you continue to be constantly on holiday is remarkable; what’s worse is that your partner never makes an appearance.

What It's Like To Work For Porsche
What It's Like To Work For Porsche

As a young kid there would have been moments in life where you pointed to a poster of your favourite car on the wall and said, “One day, I’m going to work there”.

And then reality sets in and you realise that Europe is pretty damn far to pack your bags to for a job you don’t have. Well now you don’t need to. Porsche have opened the doors to their Stuttgart plant to give a first-person view of what everyday life at the German supercar plant is like.

Nothing is off limits here in this cool three-minute clip which starts at an employee’s home right through to the food caterers, car designers, engineers, road testers and of course the most significant person in the company to date. Trust us, it’s who you think is.

Whether this is a true representation of what it’s like to work at Porsche is debatable, but one can’t argue that the marketing department did a pretty damn fine job of giving an insight into the company without the pretentiousness.

Enough chit-chat. Watch the clip and make yourself at home at Porsche AG.

The Gentleman's Guide To Chat Etiquette When Sitting Next To Someone On A Flight
The Gentleman's Guide To Chat Etiquette When Sitting Next To Someone On A Flight
airplane conversation etiquette
According to science, small talk with strangers is good for your productivity and mental health

Decades ago, air travel wasn’t just a way to get from A to B – it was an experience. Passengers dressed up and snapped group photos before boarding. Meals were served. Alcohol was free. Leg room was ample, knives were real, and security lines were nonexistent.

Today’s passengers face a different story. Flying in the 21st century is more ‘ordeal’ than ‘affair’ – a relentless barrage of agony in the form of overcrowding, armrest jostling, inedible food, invasive security, and that most heinous of offenders, the chatterbox neighbour who won’t take a goddamn hint.

Despite our obsession with oversharing to strangers on social media, we’re less than enthusiastic about chatty seatmates on airplanes. We’d rather elaborately fake an illness than have to make nice with Talkative Tommy.

But science says conversing with strangers can actually be good for your mental health and your productivity, and deep down, you know completely quiet flights would get boring quickly. Save the silence for wealthy white women on spiritual retreats.

Whether you’re happy to chat or desperate to remain undisturbed, these are the rules for airplane conversation etiquette every man should follow.

Set The Scene

Set a foundation for friendliness as soon as possible. Don’t be impatient in the boarding line. Do your neighbour a favour – like helping put heavy luggage in the overhead compartment – if you can. Don’t leave your crap in their seat. The nicer you can be upfront, the nicer they’re likely to be later – whether that means making small talk if you’re feeling chatty or politely shushing if you ask them to keep it down.

Start With A Smile

You don’t have to be a body language expert to read this easy sign. Make eye contact (not the creepy kind) and flash your seatmate a smile. Throw in a “hi” if you’re feeling audacious. Then watch how they respond. A person who returns the gesture is more likely to be open to a conversation than someone who doesn’t.

Calibrate Your Enthusiasm

Don’t be these dogs. If your neighbour isn’t in the mood for making friends, no amount of enthusiasm from you will change their mind. It’s your job as the conversation initiator to accurately assess the situation and adjust your eagerness accordingly. One word answers or caveman grunts are not a green light to unleash the saga of your recent health issues on an unwilling participant. If they’re engaging with full sentences and attentive questions, on the other hand, you’re free to tell them all about your hemorrhoids.

Keep It PG

Remember that the person next to you is a captive audience with no escape short of a parachute and the emergency door. You are trapped together in cramped quarters for the duration of your flight, so keep your conversation free of controversies. No politics, religion, offensive jokes, complaints about other passengers, or secrets of your sex life. If you wouldn’t say it over dinner with your in-laws, don’t say it to the neighbouring seat.

Don’t Get Hammered

See above. If staying off the sauce is the only way to ensure you don’t soliloquise on any of those subjects, just say no to those itty-bitty bottles. We guarantee your seatmate isn’t as interested in the wayward exploits of your pecker as your douchebro buddies on 4chan and Reddit.

Don’t Go Negative

Air travel has a way of bringing out the worst in people. Passengers are tired, stressed, hangry, uncomfortable – almost no one is bringing their A-game, and you’re forgiven for feeling less than cheery while your knees are cramped up to your chin. But even if you’re not your usual ray-of-sunshine self, there’s no excuse for bombarding a neighbour’s unsuspecting ears with rants about the kids in the back or a flight attendant’s service. No one wants to be friends with the dick in 23D.

Don’t Take It Too Far

The beauty of the airplane conversation is its ephemeral nature. You will probably never see that person again, and somehow there’s a little bit of magic in that. Don’t ruin it by trying to extend the moment beyond what it’s meant to be. Only in rare circumstances should you attempt to exchange contact info (and if your seatmate happens to be attractive, under even rarer circumstances should “exchange contact info” mean “try to hookup in the lavatory”).

Respect Thy (Other) Neighbours

Just because the person next to you wants to chat, doesn’t mean everyone else around you wants in. Keep the volume to a considerate level.

Honour The Unspoken Rules

If they opened a book, they don’t want to chat. If they put in their headphones, they don’t want to chat. If they’re asleep (or pretending to be), they don’t want to chat. Be the bigger person and leave them be, even if you’re bursting with cheery small talk about the weather and your holiday plans.

Let It Go

When your chat begins to wane, as it inevitably will, let it go with grace. Don’t force a conversation to continue beyond its natural lifespan. End with a simple “It was nice meeting you, Name, I hope you enjoy your trip” and get back to watching yet another disappointing episode of Big Bang Theory as the airline gods intended.

21 Signs She’s Not The One
21 Signs She’s Not The One

We all love the idea of finding ‘The One’. We imagine her (or him) in all sorts of ways: with blond hair, smart, funny and most importantly good with a vertical pole in the middle of the room. Whatever your type, there are a few golden rules to help you avoid a potential disaster.

1. Her mother is a few slices short of a loaf


Nothing says run for the hills like a mother-in-law to be who’s bat-shit crazy. Sure signs that the cheese has slid off the cracker are: 1. Bails you up to tell you that you have a firm buttocks, 2.  Hits the bottle (at 11am) and gets lippy, 3. Likes to keep sanity away by blowing a daily spliff.

2. She doesn’t believe in exercise


The ‘I don’t need to exercise now that I have a boyfriend’ trick. This is a relationship killer of the highest order and it cuts both ways. Both guys and girls owe it to their partner to look after themselves and live a healthy life. So when she believes running to the pantry to get another helping of ice-cream is exercise, then it’s time for you to go for a run… a long one. (Right now she’s wondering what on earth the girl above is doing)

3. Likes to get drunk and tell you what she really thinks about you


A girl who drinks is great, they let loose and have fun, but a female who gets loaded and get lippy at every opportunity is one for the junk pile. You’ll let subtle quips pass the first few times, but it will soon become an episode of Jersey Shore.

4. She swears like a sailor


There’s nothing wrong with the odd cuss and vent, but when she’s dropping the C-Bomb while saying Grace at Christmas dinner, there’s trouble ahead. If you dream of a life where one day you may meet the Queen then the last thing you need is your girlfriend or wife calling her majesty an‘old mole’.

5. She dreams of never having to work again


Nothing says ‘You’re going to be the bread-winner’ like proclaiming that she cannot wait to give up working and put her feet up.  Once she does stop working her days will be filled with lunching, sleeping-in and hassling you to earn more money. Look for ambition, not laziness. We recommend a detour as this one way street has long-term roadworks.

6. Suffers chronic ‘short arm deep pocket syndrome’


We’ve all had this happen. The bill comes and she’s miraculously disappeared to fix her make-up or do a poo. If it’s happening on the first date, it will happen forever. Nothing says run for the hills like a girl who buys clothing without pockets. “Oi! Does this come without pockets?”

7. You have nothing in common with her friends


Choosing someone with nice, normal and sociable friends is paramount. Whether you like it or not you’ll be stuck her friends forever, so either think carefully how you plan on sitting at every social occasion with a shit-eating grin on your face, or pull the ripcord now.

8. She has no issues with public nudity


The one thing that should be sacred in a relationship is what your girlfriend’s breasts look like. Your mates shouldn’t know, so if she’s cool with whipping them out at social gatherings you know you’re in for a turbulent ride. (Props to Wayne with the yellow okanui shorts in the background)

9. Thinks her birthday should be a national holiday


We all like a party but none more than her when it comes to her birthday. She starts by throwing out these wildly OTT gift ideas 6-months prior then plans on taking multiple days off work so she can get off her face with those friends you can’t stand.

10. She smokes like a chimney


Even if it’s Gucci or Chanel, nobody likes kissing an ashtray.

11. She’s friends with ex boyfriends


The old trick of staying close with ex boyfriends. Some guys don’t care (The Duke) and others (like me) think it’s a no no. If she breaks down while talking about how much she misses him, then excuse yourself for a bathroom break, slip out the window and down the drain pipe to freedom.

12. She Loves An EDM Festival

Stereosonic-Girl

It’s a special kind of girl who frequents Australia’s dance music festivals. They love the pingas, short shorts and muscles. Outfit of choice? Side-boob exposing leotard, kid size denim shorts and a flower crown. She’s fun loving but likely to wear you down through heavy drug use and bad taste in music. She’s one to avoid come summer.

13. She Magically Appears At Your Gym

gymgirl


‘Oh hey! What are you doing here?’ The one woman to avoid has strategically figured out when you work out and plans to be there every day until the end of time. You can either change gyms or just hide in the toilets until closing time.

14. She Doesn’t Like Dogs

Hates-Dogs

Who doesn’t like dogs? That’s just weird. When you see a hound, suggest she goes up and says hello. If she does, she’s a keeper. If not, suggest she pops into 7-Eleven for some milk and run the other way.

15. She Has Bad Taste In Shoes & Handbags

118168-lady-gaga-her-larger-than-life-shoes

As a magnificent bastard and follower of D’Marge, it’s your job to choose a female partner that understands the difference between Kumfs and Christian Louboutin shoes. The same goes for handbags. If she arrives with a white plastic clutch then you know it’s over before it’s even begun.

16. She Posts Inspirational Quotes On Social Media

Lame-Quote

Not content with getting on with life and dealing with issues in a passive aggressive way like a normal person, she chooses to waste time posting quotes that nobody gives a fuck about. If you don’t like said quotes she will instantly accuse you of being a communist and try to hang you. #Blessed #Gratitude #Haters

17. She Takes 24-48 Hours To Reply To A Text Message

Aziz-Ansari---to-text-or--009


Funny how some women need to be surgically removed from their smartphones but somehow require 24 hours to reply ‘haha, nice.’ or confirm that she did give you the clap. Often seen as a sign of being too keen, we think it’s just a sign of too many blokes on the go.

18. She Vapes

Cara-Delevingne-010


‘There’s a vaping woman I like the looks of’, said none ever. There’s nothing worse than a douchey girl interchanging her lipstick with an e-ciggy and leaving a big smoke cloud wherever she goes. If you must, go original and suck down a lung buster instead.

19. She Posts LOTS Of Selfies (And Looks Nothing Like Them In Real Life)

Kim-K-Selfies


The self-gratifying narcissist is alive and well in 2015. When you meet a girl, give her Instagram a quick skim. You’ll be able to understand a lot about her friends, lifestyle and behaviour in about 30 seconds. A couple of selfies is fine (everyone has their good days), but when every second post is a trout pout or mirror selfie, we’re steadily losing interest. Pair said selfie with an inspirational quote and she’s practically advertising insanity.

20. She Owns Ugg Boots

These heinous creatures have no place indoors or out. Be prepared for said Uggs to be claimed to be for indoor purposes only. IT’S A TRAP! They will be worn outside, often and there’s nothing you can do about it. Comfort is, of course, an important factor in footwear selection, but the atrocity of an Ugg is best left for cute kids, they’re really the only ones who can pull them off.

21. She’s Mental

Crazy-Amanda-Bynes


Lastly, and possibly my favourite is the girl whose cheese has slid off her cracker. After the first date she’s already packing an overnight bag and if you take longer than 3 minutes to reply to her messages, she’ll go full blown Liam Neeson on your ass, hunt you down, find you and she WILL kill you.

Meet The World's Strongest Coffee: Black Insomnia
Meet The World's Strongest Coffee: Black Insomnia

Australia invented a coffee that could literally kill you, but the award for world’s strongest coffee goes to South Africa. Cape Town-based Black Insomnia Coffee, launched last year, packs a whopping 702 milligrams of caffeine per 12-ounce serving, making it four times stronger than the average cup of joe.The last coffee to be crowned king in the strength game was the appropriately named Death Wish, which has 660 milligrams of caffeine. An independent lab in Switzerland reportedly confirmed that Black Insomnia’s beans are 6.3% stronger than the beans from Death Wish.For perspective, a standard 12-ounce cup of coffee has around 150 milligrams of caffeine, and a Red Bull boasts around 108. With only 34 milligrams, a can of Coke might as well be Ambien.Black Insomnia writes that its coffee is “roasted and brewed by Dr G, one of the world’s foremost baristas,” who is the “mastermind behind getting your coffee as good as a ‘hug from your grandma’ while still being able to deliver that Chuck Norris roundhouse kick of caffeine goodness.”Oh, and it has “a nice walnut and almost sweet taste profile,” but let’s be honest here, you’re not drinking it for the flavour.

Here's What The World's Largest Aeroplane Window Looks Like

Before you get all choked up with the excitement of scoring the world’s largest window seat for your next flight, it should be noted that the newly unveiled SkyView Panoramic Window is only available for Boeing’s Business Jet fleet – for now.

For those who are lucky enough to board their own private jet today, this spectacular window view will offer up some of the most sensational scenery ever experienced on a passenger plane. The wide framed window measures in at 138cm long and 49cm high, making it three times wider than the standard aeroplane window at half the height.

Those worried about the structural integrity of the craft need not worry since we’ve already investigated how windows are getting larger with newer planes. On top of that the SkyView Panoramic Window also feature reinforced acrylic windows that are abrasion-resistant to ensure the views remain visible in any weather.

Step Inside A Thinking Man's Bachelor Pad In Chicago
Step Inside A Thinking Man's Bachelor Pad In Chicago

We’re no strangers when it comes to unearthing some of the world’s coolest bachelor pads to fuel your interior fetish.

One of the latest we’ve stumbled across is a real stand out though as it’s a genuine step away from the polished (and sometimes familiar) ways of Scandinavian cool. The particular home in question is a downtown Chicago apartment built for a mathematician who appreciates the finer aesthetics in life.

That means lots of play with geometric shapes and lines paired with a dazzling array of colours, the latter of which is rarely found in Scandinavian design. Inspired Interiors looked after the design of the home which makes ample use of the owner’s collection of graffiti art, contemporary furniture pieces and books.


The real beauty resides in the lounge area which features both modular seating in navy and some of the most intricate designer chairs made of cables by Cassina.

Most importantly the designers ensured that the home was an extension of the mathematician’s personality in a liveable space. And for the true motor junkies out there, a reclaimed 1970s Porsche seat was re-upholstered and turned into a beautiful reclining chair.

Elsewhere in the home it’s all about clashing patterns paired with floor to ceiling views of the Chicago skyline.

The Desire Map

A Guide to Creating Goals with SoulYour bucket list. Quarterly objectives. Strategic plans. Big dreams. Lots of goals and plans to achieve those goals – no matter what. Except… you’re not chasing the goal itself, you’re actually chasing the feeling that you hope achieving that goal will give you. Which means we have the procedures of achievement upside down: we go after the stuff we want to have, get, or accomplish, and we hope that we’ll be fulfilled when we get there. It’s backwards. And it’s burning us out. With The Desire Map, Danielle LaPorte presents a holistic life-planning tool designed to revolutionise the way you go after what you want in life.
