We collect all our refundable bottle/cans to recycle and store them in a wheelie bin which is kept in the backyard. Overnight some creep must have jumped the fence and stolen the bin because there were bottles and cans strewn all down our street. Maybe 300 or so... the bin was just on it's side on the road in front of my house. I only know they jumped the fence because they dented the crap out of it doing so and there are muddy boot marks scraped all over it from whoever climbed it scrambling up there.

What I want to know is who could even be bothered doing that? It was bloody freezing last night. The worst part is it must have been someone we know because as far as I can tell they have gained nothing from it. They also left my gate open so it's lucky I noticed before letting the dog out.

I almost wish my dog had been outside last night because he doesn't take kindly to strangers but who knows what would have happened if he was. Quite annoyed at this.

My day starts fine, then idiots happen!

A trip to coles is all it took.
Heavy basket in hand, gets to one of the only 2 checkouts operating, foregoing those self serve things, & of course the person in front is doing a weeks worth...

So I wait patiently, all good. I'm happy

Then the helpful service desk lass offers me to pick up my "heavy as" basket & proceed to the very last checkout as there is no one waiting there.
To which I said I just walked past it & it was busy, now I'm here ok.

Then she calls for another checkout to be opened & asks me to move there instead

, to which I said "NO", I am already here, I am already waiting, I do not want to needlessly pick up this heavy basket & I wouldn't have to wait if management bothered to employ more staff & open more checkouts.

She explains that she has no staff until 9am, I said "my point exactly"!!!

At this point I just want this conversation to be OVER, go way & leave me the hell alone.
Ask me how my bloody day has been....go on I DARE YA'!!!!

What is it with some people. Turning on their blinker for a split blink doesn't magically create enough safe space for them to change lanes. Sheesh. As I'm left to slam my brakes on the wet highway in the rain and I almost got rear-ended. Thanks to the stoopid driver in front of me.

When people say their car is immaculate and nothing wrong with it, only to arrive and the car is not immaculate and has a few issues.

Maybe i'm asking to much and my idea of immaculate is different but man i'm over looking at potential cars.

The term "Time Wasters" can apply equally to sellers as well as buyers

It's driving me nuts, i've been looking for 3 months now and they are either flogged or uncared for, i don't understand why people don't look after premium performance cars.

Junkyard-Dog · 18-09-2016, 09:01 PM

Oh boy, I really know what you're talking about there fordomatic. I have been looking for a good base car for an upcoming turbo project and have now come to the conclusion that every single person who is selling a used car in Australia has impaired vision. If I can tell from a poor 240p picture that the car's bodywork is damaged, that clearly means it is not "near mint" after all. Some of the ads I've stumbled across just make me laugh, laugh, laugh and CRY!

The worst is when you rock up and the "99% rust free car" has completely rusted out sills, floors, wheel arches and around the front/rear windscreen but the seller still reckons it's a good 'un. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

btw, I put my foot through a customer's ceiling at work yesterday. That went down well.

Yeh, & my local coles staff are my biggest fans I bet. They see me coming nowadays!
I guess the memo stating "DON'T ANNOY THIS GUY" hasn't yet reached all the staff.

Spurious · 19-09-2016, 12:50 AM

I hate (tongue in cheek) being presented with the opportunity to express the perfect comeback.

Walking down the street I see a rack of cheap T-shirts.
I picked one up, looked at it & saw stains!

I called to the manager, "hey, why would you try to sell this, it's stained"?

He responds "Well you can't argue with THAT price can you"?

To which I stated "No, but I 'aint gonna buy it either"!!!

That 'Finder' home-loan advert.......

Mercury Bullet · 20-09-2016, 07:55 PM

I hate it when I go into town and see one of the local shearers who is also a good mate.
Hadn't seen him for a couple of months and he was very skinny.
I jokingly said "are you on a health kick?"

The reply "na mate I've got stomach cancer that has spread to liver, bowels etc, etc."

I'm in a bit of shock.

I made this same "error" a few weeks back.

Bumped into an old workmate.
He asks how I am so I whinge about **** for 5 minutes and then asked how he'd been getting on.
Bowel liver and stomach cancer.
All of a sudden I see all the obvious signs.
Perspective smacks you in the face sometimes.

On a near new tyre, found a sliver of steel had pierced the sidewall, result , another new tyre coming up, very disheartening !!

Bushbasher · 26-09-2016, 11:25 AM

Pet hate of the day,

the lazy a$$ staff at bakeries that can't be bothered to take the 1/2 a second to place cream filled cakes and buns in the bag in such a way as to not mash the cream, (in this case a Kitchener bun), and/or jam to the inside of the bag. How fricken hard is it to turn the bun around before you put it in the bag instead of jamming in in open side first so the jam and cream goes all over the inside of the bag.

marty351 · 26-09-2016, 01:32 PM

Danm these first world problems!

Bushbasher · 26-09-2016, 07:03 PM

Well this is the world we live in here in Australia, but if you're ok with incompetent and lazy retail workers who don't engage their brain, and don't mind second rate service when you hand over your hard earned money, then I know good shearer you might like to meet.

I was 1 of only 2 people in the place, and she had already been served and was waiting for a coffee.

DEAR EVERY DRIVER;

It's not illegal to park on the nature strip, I've emailed the council, it's only in some areas, where there's underground services, that can get damaged from cars.

I just can't stand, how 2 lane streets are now almost impossible to drive though. Because people think, a strip of grass, has underground services. No signs though, you know, with a warning. Lol!

I suggest, emailing your council, and asking them to PLEASE, change the laws, or make it known that it's ok to park on 90% of the NS.

This would probably be totally dependant on the State you live and your local council
