Why is it the LQBTIQ community want us to believe there are more than two genders when their name clearly has B for bi meaning two.

Good point they could have shortened their acronym to make it simpler and possibly easier to remember.

Why is it that I can leave a public toilet clean when I have finished using it but others can'r or won't have the courtesy to do the same? Some people disgust me.

I stopped in to an Anglesea public toilet today right after an Asian tour bus had been there. All 3 cubicles were chock full of paper and crap, no one bothered to flush, that would have been too hard.

Lately I can not get city cafes to butter my toast when ordering eggs on toast. It seems to be a special request now, based on a few types who don't want their toast buttered.
I don't want to remove soggy unbuttered toast from under my eggs to butter it with hard butter either. It isn't a problem in the country. WTF.

Had to work a bit late today for our last day before a month's holiday .Had to pick up my AU from getting it's new alternator , started to rain and decided to take the mutts to Grey Mare's Tail scenic lookout for a quick run after being cooped up all day . Got out of the car , walked out onto the trail and was confronted by some waste of space who had dumped three big bike boxes , obviously presents for Christmas . Too lazy or cheap to take the boxes of K Mart bikes to the local tip . Cost is $2 per boot load to do the right thing .
Makes me so angry to see selfish idiots up to this crap . |

Why is it... Tasmanians don’t have recycle bins (or Stanley knives)?

because they keep cutting up the recycle bins to use as barriers for salmon farms and then the fisheries inspectors confiscate their knives.
![]() simple, mate.

We do ... But some tools decide to chuck rubbish in the bush to save a couple of bucks at the tip or buying a cheap stanley knife to fit their bike boxes into the bin ..or just plain lazy or stupid . We have a waste bin and a recycle bin actually even in our little whistle stop . The tip also but most take green waste or business waste or bigger items like building waste there because there's a small charge for that. There is a Tip Shop too on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Same for me at Mitre 10 or Supercheap ..Walked into Mitre 10 a few weeks ago for sandpaper and tap washers , walked out with them and a new mower and battery trimmer . Should have been $10-15 ended up being about $500 ..

Well hardware shops i man shop. Go in with my blinkers on and buy what i set out for regardless of price. But toy shops, i dont go there for myself, but i went in to a hobby shop today loosely looking for a christmas gift for my son. Dont get me wrong, he will be absolutely chuffed with what i got him, but i was looking at stuff which the kid would be happy with then it snowballed from there and i got him a sweet piece of kit. Then to go hand in hand with that, spent another 100 on batteries. I sort of am a loose cannon when it comes to things i didnt have as a kid for my kid, im a nazi when it comes to behaviour and table manors, but other then that my kid is more a mate then a burdon.

Stinkin' hot night ..ended up getting up at 5 am ..took my Border Collie and Kelpie for a walk in the pine plantation as the sun came up properly . Came back into town and called in to get the paper . Got back in the car and heard this loud screech of tyres and a big V8 . Right in the middle of Main Street some old fogie driving a two door Mercedes (guessing mid to late 1980's) almost buggered it up on the Pub Corner and took off at a big rate of knots out toward the Golf Club ..Had to be nudging 100 clicks before the bridge ..
Kids , tourists already around at 8.00 am . Why is it ...that people like this old bloke feel the need to drive like a madman in the middle of a town regardless of whether it was a sporty old Merc or not ? Where's a cop when you need one . |

Why is it that public toilets are called restrooms? Who wants to rest in a place that smells like urine and faeces.

Why is it kids never tell you they arent feeling the best until its too late? Went pub for dinner and my kid turns to me with that look on his face and says 'dad i think i' then barfs all over himself. Youd think by age 9 he'd know the warning signs..

Could be worse i guess, like the time he spewed all through the front of my old work van as a 3 year old. And yes a car seat in the front of that van was legal as it only had 2 seats, no airbags and i had an anchor point fitted.

For some reason it doesnt seem that bad if your own kid spews on you, you just sort it out. Other peoples kids are just disgusting.

Why is it?..... the kids play outside and run through the dirt and on to my just been oiled front deck leaving footprints all over it. When it was dry and unoiled, everyone played inside.

Why is it the one time I don't ask for a rough cost of a car service I get complete bill shock?
I was expecting about $1.2k for a 100k service based on previous experience and got a bill for $2.4 ****en k! After transferring money between accounts on my phone which I have never done before I was declined 3 times until I tried Visa debit instead of EFTPOS and voila. Two weeks pay gone in an instant. I would have asked them to just do the timing belts and a normal service otherwise. Lesson learned but I should get another 50k out of it you'd think ![]() |

Why is it if ever i go for beers and dinner with my older brother we split the bill to a degree, but walking out he always 'borrows' money off me? I say borrow because its a rare phenominon if i ever get paid back. Now i know how people with teenage daughters feel. I only have a son and he doesnt ask for cash... yet.
