I could never stand the suspense of the "hanging drop" dangling from the eye bottle, waiting for it to fall into my eye.

Muppets that yell abuse if you don't want to drag from every set of lights or yell abuse if you beat them from a set of lights. On paper your too fast too furious turbo import will wipe the floor with my 9 year old territory. Heres a hint, learn how to drive a manual, if your in 5th gear by 55, its go no where left to go! Think I will avoid driving in the city during the silly season.

"between 8AM-9AM AND 3-4PM SCHOOLDAYS"

so im cruising to the local shop and of course dumbass non locals see 60 and panic, slowing down to around 55
its an 80 zone, its 10.30 am on a friggin saturday
so you end up creeping up their *** because youre doing the correct speed limit of 80
they give you the finger wave in the mirror and all the usual ****
you pull up at the end of hte road they are turn right you are turning left windows are down
you get the filthy look and the usual dribble about tailgating
so i ask
'whats the speed limit past the school?'
60 ******** whats with the tailgating
********?..well listening here ****head maybe you should read the road signs
(promptly explained the sign)
oh i didnt see that
yeah thats right, youre abusing me when its you thats not able to read basic roadsigns properly. you just saw 60 and thats was it, you didnt READ what it said underneath

no apology
no thanks .....nothimg

happens at least once a week
We have the same thing, theres a small primary school opposite Clarkefield (which is a town with a main street containing a pub, a train station and a 90s Ford wrecker, thats it).

100km/h road, goes to 60 during school hours, except we've got it figured out, LED 60km/h sign comes on and flashes during school hours, problem solved

Reminds me of yesterday morning.
My wife gets out the suncreen for our boy while he's out there in the sun playing cricket. She offers it to another lady and her kids.
Few minutes later she queries what brand the sunscreen is.
Its Cancer Council screen 50+
This lady says Well I'lll be making sure to stay away from that one. I've just rubbed my eyes and they are stinging, must have been that sunscreen.
Maybe don't put the stuff in your eyes?!

About 6 years ago I had to sort out a whole lot of safety data sheets for some products our company offered at the time. We used an external service provider to manage them all, as they also had a manned 24 hour help line (in Australia too!)

As I was the contact for our company, I would get an email update whenever anyone enquired about an MSDS or hazard response for any of our products - good, bad or indifferent.

Once such email noted that a person had put drops of cyanoacrylate adhesive (basically super glue) in his eye, mistaking the bottle for the eye-drops, as he kept both in the fridge.

I bet he never made that mistake again.


BTW - he made a full recovery, after visiting hospital, and having small chunks of glue removed over the following days.

G'day Coles, i noticed Chorizo on special last night at Coles Manuka. I thought to myself, "yew beauty my Fiancé can whip up a frittata, and then i can have some leftovers for work, that will raise moral". You could imagine my excitement when i got home, "babe i got a bargain from Coles and you get to cook dinner tonight".

I grabbed a beer from the fridge and plonked myself on the deck overlooking Lake Burly Griffin, moral was high, the birds were chirping the baby signets were floundering around enjoying the sunshine, and i was having Frittata for dinner.

You could imagine my disappointment when my Fiancé called me into the kitchen. Unfortunately for me they resembled dried up pieces of dog faeces, instead of wet, they should look like wet dog faeces. So now i get to have vegetarian frittata for dinner instead of the meaty chorizo goodness i was so looking forward to.

Thanks for nothing Coles

Everything from Coles and Safeway is junk, "fresh food people" my fat hairy anus.

Their fruit tastes like nothing, its probably been picked green, sprayed with some crap, and been in the fridge since like 1992 or something and thats the good stuff.

The regular stuff comes with extra flavouring, which is green and hairy looking and wins you a free weekend stay at Sunshine's premier accomodation the Sunshine Hospital and you get to sample their fine cusine at no extra cost.

Yep, those on special chorizo's from Coles were a bit underwhelming (tasteless) for sure even though the ones we purchased looked kinda fresh, kransky's work way better for frittata's imo!

SO.....MY NEXT BRIGHT IDEA...

Thinks to myself, I should go to the local tip shop (resource recovery centre) & find something I can buy cheap & flip it to the local 2'nd hand shop.

You know, & make a few bucks.

Gets there, looks around the yard, finds an intact 25cc ROK arborist chainsaw..... it looks near new & IT RUNS!!!!!

I walk back into the building & who's being served at the counter & says g'day to me.....the bloke who owns the second hand shop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FYI, the chainsaw's now for sale on Gumtree Tas. LOL
(see vid link below pics for demo)

Might be a bit late but have a look at the steam store. Save yourself a fortune compared to buying them from a store. Careful, though, there is a reason why the internet is full of GabeN taking your money .gifs

Or the flip side... people who work in an office of 10 or 12 and put exactly 250ml of water in the kettle when they find it empty.....

What about people at work who never reply to email. Infuriates me, especially when you know they are sitting in front of a computer with their inbox open in front of them....

I hear ya!

In my defence, I do fill the jug to the top and boil it to make one cup of tea in the morning. The rest of it gets poured in the sink to wash my breakfast dishes.

Logical and practical.

Cheers!

Then they tell me that that person has emailed them 3 times now, but they just delete the email each time.

WTF? How hard is it to reply and ask for more information or instructions? Or at least let the person know so they're not waiting on a reply that'll never come..

No courtesy.
