Sydney is home to the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, two of the world's most famous landmarks. The weather is generally pleasant all year round, even during winters. On those exceptionally hot days, you can head on down to one of the many beaches and enjoy a relaxing swim. After a nice day at the beach, you can relax with a bottle of wine and dinner at one of Sydney's many quality restaurants before taking a pleasant post-dinner walk around Darling Harbour. 

From the outside, Sydney may seem like heaven. But to an everyday Sydneysider, they have to put up with the city's unique little problems every day.

Of course, when you're living in a city like Sydney, a few minor problems are a small price to pay, but that doesn't make them any less annoying. 

Here are 15 problems that only people from Sydney will only understand.
