Last week, we saw an article online that listed 20 ways to be a dickhead in Sydney. It got the office talking about things people do in Newcastle that really grind our gears. If you think we’ve missed anything, drop us a comment.
1. Complain about the lack of live music in Newcastle, but never go to a gig

3. Check in every time you go to the gym with celebratory hashtags such as #shred4summer #beastmode #legday #gymswag … #pleasestopyouaremakingmyeyesbleed
4. Take up the entire walkway at Charlestown Square/Westfield Kotara with your three kids and pram in tow while waddling along at the pace of a giant tortoise
5. Sit solo at a table for 4 on Sunday morning at any café on Darby St
