It Sucks Because...

asagaai · 26-05-2019, 01:54 PM

I have been working 15 days straight, sitting Sunday Afternoon on day 16 in my dreary office drafting argument in a case I HATE/DETEST, and just keep hearing weekender v8s being driven joyfully outside by their owners on a lovely Sunday arvo...…

It sucks for you because...?-humour light misery..."

It sucks because I don't even have a job at the moment but all the eofy sales are here.

Pricks- I feel like when I was a kid and all my mates were outside on zip lines and massive 35 metre rope swings in park across road, and I was stuck inside doing maths and Latin homework.

41 years later and nothing has changed for me....

Days like last Wednesday suck for me. It was a long one and not mentally difficult, but labour intensive. Im not looking for the overtime for reasons i wont get into, other blokes are stinging for the cash. I only get thrown the big jobs like that purely because i have the tools. Im works tool slut. Work banned borrowing personal tools and i agree, nothings worse then lending something and getting it back trashed, broken or just not at all. But still, a socket set (or 2 in my case) isnt just a mechanics tool. Im not a mechanic, but its not unreasonable for an electrician to have one and some ring spanners. But only 1 other bloke who has a socket set got roped into the job also. The kicker being his set only goes to a 19mm. When your set only goes to 19, youre guarenteed to need a 21. Yes i have all sizes up to 24mm and a 30 and 32.

If you did you would most likely not had a diff bush in a state to hold it all together - assuming you have a Ford with the mang juice

We had an huge molten metal explosion at work the other day that nearly took out several employees... very lucky for them a coffee break at the right time.

Youve been missing out mate. Main north rd is a lake of glory right now.

Made it from paralowie to munno para on pretty bald front tyres... Ride the lightning baby!

Two days of migraine fluctuating between bad and worse, not impressed, especially when the squeeze is on to do lots of stuff.

You're still doing the Homework?

**aussiblue** · 27-05-2019, 12:41 AM

Or is it the housework and you are vacuuming? If so, that definitely sucks.

Franco Cozzo · 27-05-2019, 06:19 AM

It sucks because the DNA test I've just completed required spit, rather than other bodily fluids

On the upside, you at least have a V8 for when you DO get a day off!

How does that suck? I have an ex wife, you can have her if you want. I wouldnt recomend her though, she gets expensive.

Citroënbender · 28-05-2019, 05:16 PM

It’s a joke; think it through. ;-)

Franco Cozzo · 30-05-2019, 09:28 PM

It sucks because 98 is $1.87/L at the moment - cost $135 to go to work and back 2.5 times

I found a receipt in my car from this time last year, I paid $1.28/L for 98 in 2017, bring back 2017!

It sucks for me because I clocked off at 5pm today, and don't go back to work for nearly 3 weeks. I don't know which project to give priority to...

Training to ride 100km for a charity bike ride, getting a sailboat seaworthy, getting the sailboat tow vehicle tow-worthy, gardening, painting the kitchen cabinets, plus a couple of minor projects.

It sucks when I see you can buy 98 for $1.87 in Aussie, I just paid
$2.53 in NZ.....

$1.497/litre here (suburban Sydney) for 98 today. Tasmania is often quite a bit dearer.

It sucks because...

it's a vacuum cleaner

Whitey-AMG · 31-05-2019, 02:08 PM

It sucks because you spend a million bucks on the GT to make it invincible and you get the best suspension for any condition handling , the best polishes and waxes and ceramic hoo ha products so the paint is sealed up tighter than a fishes @ss and nothing sticks to it , the best wet (and dry weather grip) tyres money can buy so you dont slip anywhere ..... but then its a wet day so you freak out cos you don't wanna drive in the wet ......

**FTE217** · 31-05-2019, 03:21 PM

haha I know it sucks big time !
Got the trouble with both mine stupid ocd.

MITCHAY · 31-05-2019, 10:05 PM

My main bathroom toilet has had what is called a phantom flush. For those who don't know what that is, basically the outlet leaks into the bowl over a period of time and it refills as if it were flushed.

So today I ripped it apart so I can't ignore that I have to fix it, as I have been really lazy about it. Already know what I need to get.

But it sucks because I have been drinking a few beers and keep walking into the main bathroom as a habit so have to backtrack to the ensuite. First world problems

Had the same bog issue a while back, did a crap job on my atempted fix being replacement seals. Took the easy option and just turned off the valve on the wall. Yeah its not convenient, but i live alone so i can deal with it. Plumbers are expensive.

You can turn the rubber seal over and it may seal for an extended period of time, on the bottom of the cistern.

I've done this many a times , in fact my ensuite toilet has this exact issue right now which need's attending too.

I live alone too but not an option because it is my main bog

I literally had to put a chair in the hallway to remind me it is farked to stop going down there from habit

Nah mate it is farked. Parts of the washer were stuck to the outlet. Only about a $5 fix though (seating washer), just have to go down to Bunnings to pick it up and a few other things

asagaai · 01-06-2019, 09:18 AM

It sucks because my car is booked in for a diff (centre and 2 side bushes) and rear control blade bushes rebuild, together with tailshaft rebuild under Ford Extended Warranty.

I buy a diff bush kit (centre and 2 sides) - Superpro Polylast hybrid- thinking Ford will gladly take the Suprepro cause I have paid for the kit myself, and install under warranty, and I am feeling pretty chuffed thinking Ford warranty will pay the labour for install and I get a better suspension....

Nup- no -rejected- it sucks cause they will only install OEM rubber under the Ford extended warranty....
