Why is it that hydration is suddenly such a big deal?
The amount of people carrying around drink bottles is getting ridiculous. I just don't get it. |

First time going to Melbourne and ordering coffee, they asked me, do I want it cappuccino style or latte style ?? Never heard of this one in $ydney.
Blast Quarries.... Victoria, you want spalls or ballast. NSW you want offcuts or rear dump. QLD you want one or two man size. Cut Quarries..... Victoria, you want how many sqm. NSW you want how many tonnes. QLD you want how many lineal metres. and it goes on between states... Sharp sand, river sand, packing sand, course sand.

Why is it................that an Apple iPhone works perfectly right up until the contract is up and the phone paid off, then overnight the problems surface.
Every iPhone I have owned has been fine up until its paid off, then immediately something goes wrong with battery and/or the charging of the battery. On the latest, the thing won't accept or detect a charging cable, which also means I can't transfer images for my content. Now there is a way around this by using a wireless charger, but that doesn't solve the data transfer thing. I ended up buying the magnetic wireless charger to get me through until the new phone I ordered arrives later this week. I'm just pis.sed off that its always the same pattern, and an otherwise working product is basically trashed. And yes, I rewarded Apple by buying another one of their high-quality products. ![]()

Me niether, just recently replaced a 2015 Samsung (now the dash recorder in the Kenworth) with a Nokia Android.

Why is it so many people suffer from arachnophobia? If the spiders want to get married I say let them!

Promotional emails, that link you to a regular or sales catalogue (and therefore track your interests). You might check the prices on a couple of items genuinely in your sights, but buy nothing. Again, all of this will have been logged by the site.
Then you get a follow-up email telling you to have another look at their wares… But no one-off discount offers or other incentives, just a repeat badgering. If it wasn’t good enough the first time, what makes them think it’s going to appeal later? |

Why is it I purchased an Australian flag which is usually a once off purchase and now I keep receiving advertisements from flag sellers?

Why is it I can keep spraying the same single fly in our kitchen with Mortein, next morning, there his on the bench. Zap him again, flies of like a drunken sailor, get home from the gym, still in the kitchen on fruit in the bowl.
Honestly, I'd be better off throwing the can at him, bloody useless. I'm sure they've evolved to be immune, it's not the first time, half a can on one fly.

I buy the cheapest homebrand flyspray and it works just fine. They only need a tiny drop of the mist. Dead in about 20 minutes. |

rolled up newspaper or giant rubber bands keep the grandkids happy for ages.
spider senario.....comming up to major interesction 8:45am, warm summers morning, 3 lanes, Iam in middle one, right hand just going red. I flick my sunvisor down, massive huntsman greets me, instinct says destroy it. 1 mighty flick and spider sails out my drivers window, we are moving forward, mighty scream from car that was beside me, I presume said spider cotinued his journey in a different vehicle with a very distrought passenger.
