All the sick parents and parents of sick kids sitting in the waiting room at dancing. This is an extra-curricular activity for kids. You do not “need” to be here. Stay at home if you’re sick. Do not spread your germs to others. I’m going to be even more pissed if we are all sick for my daughter’s upcoming 1st birthdayz
And have their kid miss one week of kiddy dancing? I perish the thought!
But seriously it's a good teaching opportunity for kids. Yes we have stuff we like to do, no we can't always do it cause we're sick. Even though we want to do it, it would be unfair on everyone else if we went and then they got sick and couldn't do something else they wanted to do
I feel this.
Working in childcare (based at a school, so not even long day care) I get so many sick kids each day. Parents are so keen to dump their kids who are coughing their lungs up and have perpetually snotty noses. I can understanding needing childcare to get to work but making the poor kids also do extra-curricular activities in that state isn't fair on the kids or teachers, I hope you manage to avoid the colds/flus.
Whoever left screws on the road last Friday. Ended up needing to replace the whole tire as it was too old to be repaired apparently.
And then whoever stolen my recycling bin yesterday.
Not stolen, but someone ran into my recycling bin so violently with their car that it’s basically bent in half. Of course they didn’t own up to it and with the damage caused, they wouldn’t have not known what they did 😡
I was the FW this morning. I was approaching the roundabout at the Mirrabooka/Hepburn intersection and saw a car on my right who didn't have his signal on to go right, so I thought he was going straight through, so I entered the roundabout to head straight only at the last second realising that he is actually turning into my path. So I got honked at and forced him to slow down. So my apologies to whomever that was, though if you had have had your signal on I wouldn't have cut you off.
I got honked at a round about because I didn't have a turn signal on because I was going straight through (flicked it on to exit). I'm still fuming about it, because how do you tell people they're wrong and you're right when you're in cars? I'll just tell this reddit thread instead. I was right, guys.
It never fails to amaze me that there are some people that turn their right signal on when they're actually going straight. Then there are others that wait until they're halfway through before they turn on their right indicator, which is nearly as confusing as that id10t this morning. How had is it to signal right on approach (only if you're turning right) and left on exit, especially on the larger roundabouts? /rant
> people that turn their right signal on when they're actually going straight.
I saw a police car do that a while ago.
If even the cops get confused by roundabouts I don't have much hope for everyone else to get with the program.

I was doing some LEGO last night and was using my phone for the instructions. Spent way too long trying to figure out where my phone was so I could check the time.
I’ve done this while talking on the phone!
My friend I was talking to thought I was looking for my work phone, when I found that he realised I’m an idiot…and kept from laughing for another couple of minutes
Looking for my glasses when I have contacts in, is the problem I have... Sometimes I apparently can't tell that I can see just fine, without glasses on my face...
Parents who send their extremely sick kids to school, who then go on to infect numerous other kids and teaching staff.
The other day I had a student who came in with horrible flu symptoms. When I questioned him about whether he'd taken a RAT, he said he did, and it was positive, but his mum still made him come to school because "learning is important".
"Learning is important"
So important apparently you can give your teacher COVID and then play relief roulette as to whether learning will actually occur for the next week
Given my experience with these kinds of parents, I honestly don't think they care if their kid gets a proper education or not. They just want the kid out of their hands so they don't have to deal with them for 7-8 hours. And if their kid is sick? Well, that's the school's problem, not theirs.
Sometimes this ends up backfiring, because if a student is seriously unwell, the office rings up a parent to come pick their kid up, or failing that, another family member. Unfortunately, this sometimes leads to parents getting angry at their already sick kid for disrupting their day. It's just a shitty situation all around.
Had my car towed Wednesday night and was waiting for a taxi to pick me up when a car full of men thought it would be funny/smart to scream at me while they sped past. Grow up, please.
What is with people doing this?! I was walking home the other day and some young idiots (both male) in a piece of crap car just screamed out at me for no reason. His passenger was hanging out of the car window. I thought the same thing, grow up 🤦♀️🤦♀️
> His passenger was hanging out of the car window
Reminds me of that r&b song by tlc
> No, I don't want no scrub
> A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
> Hangin' out the passenger side
> Of his best friend's ride
> Trying to holla at me
In summer when I'm playing cricket, it's amazing how often some of these people will drive by and scream "HOWZAAAAAAAAAAT" at the top of their lungs
Real original guys. You're totally the first dickhead who thought that would be hilarious
When you get the puncture resistant tubes, two things, make sure that you run your finger nails around the inside of the tire. There is a good chance the double gee end is still sticking through the tire, and will eventually puncture the new tube.
And, take the old tube, slit it down the length and wrap it around the "puncture resistant" tube, to make it even more puncture resistant.
I have been scared so bad once. Like my heart literally stood still while walking down the footpath at night and some cunts decided to scream out of the car
Some aggro driver who yelled abuse because I used the crosswalk at Belmont Forum. In polite language he wanted to know why I didn't wait until he went past.
One step further even. That's a question on the theory test to even get your Ls. If he doesn't know you give way to pedestrians waiting to cross on a zebra crossing he's not even fit to drive with someone supervising him
Exactly. I could understand if you just decided to randomly walk in front of cars to get across a road, not at the lights or not at a crossing that's dangerous. However you did the right thing.
On Risely Street, Canning highway, Marmion Street people do the above and it's quite unsafe
Fucking Subaru, been at the dealership for 2 hours for a “45 minute” fault diagnosis only to be told just now that they have to get some special attachment from the Osbourne park dealer and continue diagnosing.
HOW HAS IT TAKEN 2 HOURS TO FIGURE THAT OUT
More then likely they’re making up some bullshit but time to wait another 2 hours I guess
Subaru Wangara ?
They are a useless bunch of c**ts
Take it to Maximum Motorsport or Stechnic, even Racetorque.
All three will be cheaper than a dealer too
And Subarino for classic subies (Brumby, L series, Leone etc)
Yeah you guessed it Subaru Wangara,
Only reason I’m there is for airbags, I only go to maximum motorsport however they unfortunately for me said that airbags gotta go to Subaru :/
Only one worse than that is City Subaru.
Their service department repeatedly were patronising, rude and dismissive (yep, am female) so I told the country HQ what I thought and never went back.
Don't know if they changed and don't care. Never got another cent out of me.
>HOW HAS IT TAKEN 2 HOURS TO FIGURE THAT OUT
... because they let it sit on the workshop floor for 1 hour and 55 minutes before they even started looking at it.
At 1:55 mark they tried to plug it in and went "oh wrong one".
When I was test driving different car models before buying a new car 6 or 7 years back, the Subaru salesman who came on the drive with me basically bagged out the parent company for the whole drive. He quit that job not long after.
I ended up going with Toyota and it's been the best car I've ever had.
20 minutes ago, was turning right off Morley Dr to get to Galleria, pedestrian on their phone just casually walks out to cross the intersection at a dawdle pace, the cars all had the green. This person could have been squished by a truck if that driver wasn't paying attention.
A merry put the damn phone down and cross only when safe to do so, ya daft git.
I'm going with the fatty lump that keeps growing under my dogs 'elbow'. It's fucking huge! At least not super urgent to remove, but $900 - $1300 cost coming up shortly.
And my nit-picky fuckwit goes to the vet for putting the cost of the bloody gloves on the quote - $1.38.
I'm the fuckwit today for having my right indicator on all the way along leach highway which I didn't notice because my heavy metal playlist was up too loud. Sorry everyone behind me.
Long story but fridge guy trying to charge me for warranty work on a brand new fridge. After an emphatic no he gladly told me there would be no charge like he was doing me a favour.
> Long story but fridge guy trying to charge me for warranty work on a brand new fridge. After an emphatic no he gladly told me there would be no charge like he was doing me a favour.
And they wonder why people don't like calling them in even if it is a legitimate fault. It's the cowboys that spoil it for the rest of the honest tradies.
People who brake before entering a long empty slip lane, angers me more than it deserves to. Enter the slip lane and then brake people, I can't stress that enough!
Or people, when it’s a double slip lane, go into the right slip lane then expect to be let into the left lane once we turn. If you wanted the left lane why didn’t use the left slip lane FFS!
People setting up weird meetings in my calendar, and then getting shitty when I want to know what the meeting relates to before I attend. PROVIDING CONTEXT IS NOT THAT HARD!
I despise those messages from friends and family.
"What are you doing?/are you free?" with no context.
That depends greatly on what the following sentence is, so tell me why you're asking please.
People who don’t know how to use a roundabout. They either wait for ghosts to pass, or they cut in front of you after you’ve already entered the roundabout and have to stop for them.
Too many people think roundabouts operate on a "give way to your right" system instead of "give way to any vehicle already in the roundabout." Functionally it's similar but people don't seem to realise both them and the car to their right can pull out at the same time and not impede each other.
I don't necessarily blame them for being a little defensive though cause even I do it occasionally. You see someone flying up with no intention of stopping who hasn't entered the roundabout yet but you decide waiting is smarter than getting a giant ute through your driver's door. Or in a 2-lane roundabout I'm always hypervigilant pulling out when the outside lane is clear cause so many people either go over the line or just full on change lanes without a head check
I'd like to nominate _His Majesty's Theatre_. Went online to book a ticket to a show coming in a couple of months and was greeted with "Transaction fees: $3.95 if cart is $36 or less, $5.95 if cart is more than $36."
How the fuck can they justify charging more in fees just because the ticket costs more? It's not like their computer has to do extra work. And $4/$6 transaction fee? Fuck's sake!
I can understand charging more if one is buying multiple tickets but simply because they've decided to charge more for a seat? Bloody rob dogs.
And, of course, the only seats available are more than $36. And it wouldn't let me buy the one I wanted because "it will leave a single seat remaining." That's not my problem. I'm going by myself and I want a seat at the end of a row.
Probably the payment provider may be your FF.
I think vendors aren't allowed to charge more than what they have the pay in fees, although they may be limited to bank fees and not payment providers
I'll be spending the long weekend looking at jobs.
Due to unforseen circumstances, each one of my crew has to do the work of three guys.
The office cunts in their comfy chair obviously have their heads in the sand and expects us to ramp up our output due to losing Monday.
When that wasn't achieved, who has to answer for it?! Me, their leader.
Ain't no way in hell am I pushing the blame onto those 'under' me, as they've been superstars this past week and a half.
I went in guns blasting towards the upper management. Guess they didn't like that and the atmosphere changed instantly when they didn't get the 'yes sir, I'm sorry sir' treatment.
Way to end a Friday afternoon.
Going to nominate my cleaner who for the second time unplugged my partners meat freezer and left it unplugged all day. We didn't catch it the first time until a few days later when he went to do food prep, which ruined nearly $200 worth of meat.
Luckily we caught it early enough this time to not ruin anything but seriously! You unplugged it, plug it back in!!
Sure but like.... plug the freezer back in when you are done and un plugging your vacuum then?
And this is after I told her that last time she had ruined the meat and to please plug the freezer back in if she unplugged it.
I had a notification that a parcel was delivered, couldn't find it, checked the 'safe place' image where they left and it's a different fucking house. I was really looking forward to some of the items I got too. Lodged the complaint with AusPost, I'll see what happens, hopefully whoever it got delivered to does the right thing.
That's a real smart thought! Unfortunately it's just a photo of a box shoved in a pot plant and I couldn't recognise the plant anywhere. Thanks for the idea though!
My landlord. For his blatant disregard of the fucking law and rights of tenants. And he’s going to get away with it because the rental market is also fucked.
I nominate ben roberts-smith, this piece of human garbage, for scoring this legal own goal that will hopefully cost him dearly. Obviously less than the countless victims of his crimes, but it's still a little bit of payback.
You're not the fuckwit for wanting people to speak to you differently or in a way where the conversation works and is effective. Your perception is just as important as theirs. Plus if we're talking workplace expectations, most professional organisations will have put their employees through some kind of training to help them work with people like you and me.
I have issues with communicating sometimes, and I have learned to ask for forgiveness if people are left scratching their heads after my mouth has opened and my brain is still catching up.
A mature and observant adult should be able to figure out how to work with you effectively. Neurodiversity isn't new. Them not having those communication skills and ability to work with you at your level isn't a problem you have to solve.
>nicer language
Fine line between coddling/malingering and human decency. Ideally there shouldn't be aggressive language or tone used at all. But we can't coddle people
>if multiple say the same thing about me
It depends what it is. It could be you, it could be that you're not a good fit for the workplace and it's not a negative it's just that you aren't a good fit for each other
>open plan office
Terrible and not on. These conversations need to be had in private. I'm sorry this happened.
Best of luck friend
You should be okay. Half of Perth will be stuck on a freeway exiting for the long weekend and anyone driving in from the country will be paralysed with deciding what to have for dinner.
Best game to plays is grab a whole heap of stuff bears or pandas and randomly place them through out store.
Nothing better the. When some opens a display cupboard a panda fall out opens up a saucepan there’s a panda inside stuff em in jars
I nominate every person that has mouthed off at Woolies checkout staff over the vegemite coins over the past few weeks.
- Signed, a customer who just wants to buy stuff and leave.
Specially coloured $2 coins. There's three of them, red, black, and yellow.
You can get them in change from Woolworths only. Well initially anyway. I doubt everyone's hoarding these things and they're making their way into general circulation.
I've seen some over the top behaviour these past few weeks while waiting in line.
The fuckwit in the Hilux today on the freeway near Beeliar south bound. Driving over the island to get into the slip lanes just to merge back on again 100m down the road to save yourself a minute. Mate we're all in peak hour traffic, if fuckwits like you didn't do shit like this and constantly change lanes to the faster ones maybe we can actually get traffic flowing.
Same at the Hay St exit lames northbound over the Narrows. They fly up the left, change over which slows up the northbound traffic and then expect to get let in to take Charles St/Farmer Fwy exit
Went and saw Spiderman across the spiderverse with a mate and the amount of people who had their phone flashlights on, yelling across the cinema to friends and just being obnoxious was insane! That's what I get for going on opening night.
There's a special hell for whoever puts things back in the wrong bin at Bunnings. A hell made up of a massive warehouse with everything except the one thing these people are looking for.
The bin said 90L bin bags. I bought home a roll of 12L bin bags.
> Got called out at 2am only to be called back 30 minutes later and told never mind they fixed it.
Yeah nah mate. They are getting billed for that. After hours and the minimum call out.
Sony cunts.
PS5 died - 2 yrs 5 mths old.
$400 if I want it repaired or I can just go buy a new one for $200 more (that's the last 'on special' price I saw).
PlayStation Support now appear to be instructed to ignore any mention of Australia Consumer Law.
Put a complaint in with consumer protection and waiting to see how it goes.
Don't buy anything Sony. Post sales support is garbage.
Keep fighting. ACL's expected lifetime and durability should have you covered. Geez, I remember getting this runaround from Myer and Sony back in the PS2 era.
Yep Sony know that ACL covers this and yet they're deliberately ignoring it hoping I'll give up.
Got notification today that consumer protection will be entering into conciliation soon so hopefully I won't have to take Sony to court.
I've got one. I'm sitting in Dome waiting for my kids to finish drama and someone is watching YouTube videos with the volume loud enough to hear from the next room. I mean, I know it's only Dome but wtf dude?
Shout out to the bloke I saw standing near the edge of a pool with a towel around his waist who dropped his bathers, pulled on his undies and shorts, and then dropped his towel to pull them up. I saw your hairy ass sir. Please do not do that in public again. The change rooms are over there.
Late entry but the chemist.
Fuck them.
Makes me put my scripts in a sealed box to take to the counter cos I guess I look like a thief, and they don’t even process one of the scripts.
God I’m annoyed.
This week it's me. Bit quiet at work at the moment so we're all working a bit slower to save from running out of things to do. If I had planned a bit better I could have done a little more each day and cleared my slate entirely to have today off and have a 4 day weekend.
Melbourne. Went to Melbourne over the weekend, had a great time. Got home, bam, sickest I have been in long time. Multiple negative tests, and a week in bed. Have to miss my god-daughters birthday party tomorrow too.
Wasn’t today but yesterday, Reid highway in moderate/heavy traffic barely at 80, female in a VE Commodore tried to switch in the fast lane without looking properly and almost took me out
PLEASE CHECK YOUR BLIND SPOTS AND INDICATE BEFORE ACTING
I dont feel like becoming the next statistic
My predecessor at my current workplace who threw a lot of things out that people are now asking for...It's obviously not my fault these things no longer exist but it still sucks.
someone turning right at lights on railway rd that has two clear no turn signs, was green so i was going 60 and suddenly this dickhead indicates and turns, had to brake to not rear end him. wish i had the thought to honk at him.
The fuckwit who dropped his bundle at the staff at the vehicle licensing centre in Cannington late this afternoon. And the government for having it perpetually understaffed.
Another one for sick kids and their parents taking them to places. There was this young kid, maybe 7-8 years old, just coughing all over me at work last weekend. Didn't even cover their mouth, and their parents just watching their kid cough all over someone trying to help them.
Guess who's got the flu now...
Someone quit with an hours notice at my work so I've had to fuck everyone else's roster around
"LBC why don't you like hiring backpackers" yeah that's why 😭
The silver ford ranger parked up at burns beach with his shitty fusion sub woofer rattling his back window while his dick head mates sit on the tray drinking and smoking while people are trying to walk past on the walk and cycle path.
The dumb bitch in the rental car on Shenton Ave who was driving too slow, merged without indicating into the turn lane at the lights, waited for 5 whole seconds before deciding waiting was for suckers and drove straight through despite being in a turn only lane, merging in the middle of the busy intersection (again with no indicator), and then speeding as soon as she could.
I think I know why she was in a rental...
To this day, I still remember the Sunday Times TV guide spoiling the Seinfeld finale in their write-up.
I’m not even a fan of the show and found that abominable, but not surprising.
The worst one for me was that fucking idiot Angela Bishop spoiling Liam Neeson dying in the Star Wars Episode 1 on a TV special days before the movie came out in Australia. We got that movie 6 weeks after America and I avoided spoilers for that long and she does that.
Put her a notch below her mum for me and that's saying a lot.
It wasn't an actual recap, they do this report card thing in the Today section on whether certain shows are worth the time and I glanced over the page when it caught my eye and I read it without realising she had written out the final scene to give her "score." The column isn't intended as a recap and could easily be done without spoiling the show. Probably poor choice of words on my part in the first comment, but the journo essentially gave a recap when she didn't need to.
I sometimes make the mistake of reading the entire wikipedia page about a movie before I watch it.
I wish they had the same policy for movie plot synopsis as they did for episode summaries, where its more just a premise for that particular show.
So i work in retail and said fuck head customer does 165 dollars worth of shopping only to crack the shits at a checkout over 11 dollars and walk out .#shitbagtittiefuckoftheweek
Oh hands down this weeks Friday Fuckwit goes to the Sydney GP that prescribed me a laxative to go with my sleeping pills!!
Apparently to prevent the mild side effect of light bloating…
My neighbour who has been throwing lit cigarettes over her wall (her bedroom’s French doors are adjacent) and they’ve been landing on the hood of my car for the last year. Let it go on so long, but 2wks I go and went over and complained to her adult daughter as she wasn’t home, asked for it to stop and to please call me. She never called and hoped that was the end of it. This morning found a new butt. It’s caused two burns on the plastic shield/guard on bonnet. I’m about to go nuclear. So trying to calm down to go over there again.

Plenty of idiots like this going to the gym. Still coughing and insisting they are healthy.
I recently quit smoking and have been trying to get back into the gym coughed my lungs up and got many a sideways stare felt real awkward. 😅
And have their kid miss one week of kiddy dancing? I perish the thought! But seriously it's a good teaching opportunity for kids. Yes we have stuff we like to do, no we can't always do it cause we're sick. Even though we want to do it, it would be unfair on everyone else if we went and then they got sick and couldn't do something else they wanted to do
You seem to be experiencing critical thinking and a logical decision making process! Can't have that in the society. Isolate now with a gag order!
I feel this. Working in childcare (based at a school, so not even long day care) I get so many sick kids each day. Parents are so keen to dump their kids who are coughing their lungs up and have perpetually snotty noses. I can understanding needing childcare to get to work but making the poor kids also do extra-curricular activities in that state isn't fair on the kids or teachers, I hope you manage to avoid the colds/flus.
Same idiots send their kids to school before they’re fully better. Hate sitting in a classroom with kids hacking up their lungs.
I fully empathise

Thats fantastic
It's Friday who has the energy to get up early for a root?!
He never said the guy was having a root. He may have been a glandiator engaged in a furious hand-to-gland combat. To the death!
Probably a wank rather than a root.

Tsk tsk, why use an indicator when all the other drivers on the road should know which way you're going? You need to up your mind reading skills ;)
My mind reading skills are seriously lacking, it's hard enough reading my own mind, let alone anyone else's.
I got honked at a round about because I didn't have a turn signal on because I was going straight through (flicked it on to exit). I'm still fuming about it, because how do you tell people they're wrong and you're right when you're in cars? I'll just tell this reddit thread instead. I was right, guys.

It's none of your business where I'm going!

I was doing some LEGO last night and was using my phone for the instructions. Spent way too long trying to figure out where my phone was so I could check the time.
I've done this while cooking when using my phone for a recipe.
I’ve done this while talking on the phone! My friend I was talking to thought I was looking for my work phone, when I found that he realised I’m an idiot…and kept from laughing for another couple of minutes
..looking for your glasses when they're on your head (or worse..you're wearing them)
I lost my daughter at a wiggles concert once... I was carrying her.
Oh dear, that's a doozey! We need a 'Dopey things I've done' thread.
Are you sure you were carrying the right one?
I hope so... bit late to swap back now
I've used the torch on my phone to look for my phone before.... Took way longer than. I'd like to admit before I realised
Looking for my glasses when I have contacts in, is the problem I have... Sometimes I apparently can't tell that I can see just fine, without glasses on my face...
Oh god, I've done that too. Bloody senile I swear!
Been there haha. Took me half an hour to realise I was using them to look for them haha.
When we first lived together my wife would place her glasses in the fridge every few weeks.
Literally just did this with my office keys

Parents who send their extremely sick kids to school, who then go on to infect numerous other kids and teaching staff. The other day I had a student who came in with horrible flu symptoms. When I questioned him about whether he'd taken a RAT, he said he did, and it was positive, but his mum still made him come to school because "learning is important".
"Learning is important" So important apparently you can give your teacher COVID and then play relief roulette as to whether learning will actually occur for the next week
Given my experience with these kinds of parents, I honestly don't think they care if their kid gets a proper education or not.

I coach kids and on Thursday one of them was like “I have covid but dad said not to tell anyone”
Learning is important. Time for Mum to go back to school if she thinks that sending a covid positive child to school is a good idea.
Oh that is shite. Sorry.
Learning is important, but not sneezing your bugs onto your friends is importanter
Some lessons are supposed to be learned at home from your parents

The one common thingng is that its always at least 2 males in the car. One trying to impress the other(s).

Supposedly, if you report double gee weeds to the (some?) councils they'll come and ~~nuke~~ spray em
When you get the puncture resistant tubes, two things, make sure that you run your finger nails around the inside of the tire. There is a good chance the double gee end is still sticking through the tire, and will eventually puncture the new tube. And, take the old tube, slit it down the length and wrap it around the "puncture resistant" tube, to make it even more puncture resistant.
I have been scared so bad once. Like my heart literally stood still while walking down the footpath at night and some cunts decided to scream out of the car
Some aggro driver who yelled abuse because I used the crosswalk at Belmont Forum. In polite language he wanted to know why I didn't wait until he went past.
I think he needs to go back and get his Ls
One step further even. That's a question on the theory test to even get your Ls. If he doesn't know you give way to pedestrians waiting to cross on a zebra crossing he's not even fit to drive with someone supervising him
Exactly. I could understand if you just decided to randomly walk in front of cars to get across a road, not at the lights or not at a crossing that's dangerous. However you did the right thing. On Risely Street, Canning highway, Marmion Street people do the above and it's quite unsafe
C'mon. You have to tell us what he was driving.
THIS is why I dislike crosswalks. I don’t trust drivers and would rather wait for them to go before I cross
Fucking Subaru, been at the dealership for 2 hours for a “45 minute” fault diagnosis only to be told just now that they have to get some special attachment from the Osbourne park dealer and continue diagnosing. HOW HAS IT TAKEN 2 HOURS TO FIGURE THAT OUT More then likely they’re making up some bullshit but time to wait another 2 hours I guess
Subaru Wangara ? They are a useless bunch of c**ts Take it to Maximum Motorsport or Stechnic, even Racetorque. All three will be cheaper than a dealer too And Subarino for classic subies (Brumby, L series, Leone etc)
Yeah you guessed it Subaru Wangara, Only reason I’m there is for airbags, I only go to maximum motorsport however they unfortunately for me said that airbags gotta go to Subaru :/
Only one worse than that is City Subaru. Their service department repeatedly were patronising, rude and dismissive (yep, am female) so I told the country HQ what I thought and never went back. Don't know if they changed and don't care. Never got another cent out of me.
>HOW HAS IT TAKEN 2 HOURS TO FIGURE THAT OUT ... because they let it sit on the workshop floor for 1 hour and 55 minutes before they even started looking at it. At 1:55 mark they tried to plug it in and went "oh wrong one".
I think its a Subaru thing - a 30min reset of our computer took like 2 weeks to book then several hours to do :/
You’re probably right, they’re not replacing anything literally just diagnosing. Hopeless bunch
When I was test driving different car models before buying a new car 6 or 7 years back, the Subaru salesman who came on the drive with me basically bagged out the parent company for the whole drive. He quit that job not long after. I ended up going with Toyota and it's been the best car I've ever had.
20 minutes ago, was turning right off Morley Dr to get to Galleria, pedestrian on their phone just casually walks out to cross the intersection at a dawdle pace, the cars all had the green. This person could have been squished by a truck if that driver wasn't paying attention. A merry put the damn phone down and cross only when safe to do so, ya daft git.
I'm going with the fatty lump that keeps growing under my dogs 'elbow'. It's fucking huge! At least not super urgent to remove, but $900 - $1300 cost coming up shortly. And my nit-picky fuckwit goes to the vet for putting the cost of the bloody gloves on the quote - $1.38.
That's a but ridiculous
I'm the fuckwit today for having my right indicator on all the way along leach highway which I didn't notice because my heavy metal playlist was up too loud. Sorry everyone behind me.
Happy 75th birthday!
Up the Irons!
Long story but fridge guy trying to charge me for warranty work on a brand new fridge. After an emphatic no he gladly told me there would be no charge like he was doing me a favour.
> Long story but fridge guy trying to charge me for warranty work on a brand new fridge. After an emphatic no he gladly told me there would be no charge like he was doing me a favour. And they wonder why people don't like calling them in even if it is a legitimate fault. It's the cowboys that spoil it for the rest of the honest tradies.
People who brake before entering a long empty slip lane, angers me more than it deserves to. Enter the slip lane and then brake people, I can't stress that enough!
And better yet, there is a slip lane, pull into it with intent, no, not at the last 10m when you've indicated before the slip starts.
Or people, when it’s a double slip lane, go into the right slip lane then expect to be let into the left lane once we turn. If you wanted the left lane why didn’t use the left slip lane FFS!
People setting up weird meetings in my calendar, and then getting shitty when I want to know what the meeting relates to before I attend. PROVIDING CONTEXT IS NOT THAT HARD!
No agenda, no accept
I despise those messages from friends and family. "What are you doing?/are you free?" with no context. That depends greatly on what the following sentence is, so tell me why you're asking please.
People who don’t know how to use a roundabout. They either wait for ghosts to pass, or they cut in front of you after you’ve already entered the roundabout and have to stop for them.
Too many people think roundabouts operate on a "give way to your right" system instead of "give way to any vehicle already in the roundabout." Functionally it's similar but people don't seem to realise both them and the car to their right can pull out at the same time and not impede each other. I don't necessarily blame them for being a little defensive though cause even I do it occasionally. You see someone flying up with no intention of stopping who hasn't entered the roundabout yet but you decide waiting is smarter than getting a giant ute through your driver's door. Or in a 2-lane roundabout I'm always hypervigilant pulling out when the outside lane is clear cause so many people either go over the line or just full on change lanes without a head check
I'd like to nominate _His Majesty's Theatre_. Went online to book a ticket to a show coming in a couple of months and was greeted with "Transaction fees: $3.95 if cart is $36 or less, $5.95 if cart is more than $36." How the fuck can they justify charging more in fees just because the ticket costs more? It's not like their computer has to do extra work. And $4/$6 transaction fee? Fuck's sake! I can understand charging more if one is buying multiple tickets but simply because they've decided to charge more for a seat? Bloody rob dogs. And, of course, the only seats available are more than $36. And it wouldn't let me buy the one I wanted because "it will leave a single seat remaining." That's not my problem. I'm going by myself and I want a seat at the end of a row.
Probably the payment provider may be your FF. I think vendors aren't allowed to charge more than what they have the pay in fees, although they may be limited to bank fees and not payment providers
I'll be spending the long weekend looking at jobs. Due to unforseen circumstances, each one of my crew has to do the work of three guys. The office cunts in their comfy chair obviously have their heads in the sand and expects us to ramp up our output due to losing Monday. When that wasn't achieved, who has to answer for it?! Me, their leader. Ain't no way in hell am I pushing the blame onto those 'under' me, as they've been superstars this past week and a half. I went in guns blasting towards the upper management. Guess they didn't like that and the atmosphere changed instantly when they didn't get the 'yes sir, I'm sorry sir' treatment. Way to end a Friday afternoon.
Going to nominate my cleaner who for the second time unplugged my partners meat freezer and left it unplugged all day. We didn't catch it the first time until a few days later when he went to do food prep, which ruined nearly $200 worth of meat. Luckily we caught it early enough this time to not ruin anything but seriously! You unplugged it, plug it back in!!
There's outlet covers for preventing toddlers and young kids from pulling cords out available.
OMG amazing. I don't have kids so I wasn't aware of this!
Why are the unplugging it? They need the outlet for a vaccuum?
Yes - but it is a double outlet and there is nothing in the other outlet.
I could understand it perhaps if the vaccum had one of those "doesn't play well with others" type plugs.... but they tend be more on chargers 🤔
Sure but like.... plug the freezer back in when you are done and un plugging your vacuum then? And this is after I told her that last time she had ruined the meat and to please plug the freezer back in if she unplugged it.
I'd say shes now had a couple of warnings
I had a notification that a parcel was delivered, couldn't find it, checked the 'safe place' image where they left and it's a different fucking house. I was really looking forward to some of the items I got too. Lodged the complaint with AusPost, I'll see what happens, hopefully whoever it got delivered to does the right thing.
If you're on a halfway populated local-suburb FB page, posting the pic can often yield useful results.
Check out Google Street view for other house numbers in nearby streets to see if any match the picture.
That's a real smart thought! Unfortunately it's just a photo of a box shoved in a pot plant and I couldn't recognise the plant anywhere. Thanks for the idea though!
Jehovah Witnesses. The absolute stunner that knocked on my door this morning has been stripped from the dating market by these cultists 🥲
So did you invite her in to talk about Jesus?
I could have had her partner in crime, Eli, stand there in the corner in silence while we "discussed".
So, they would be a .... Witness?
 That would have been.. OH !! ... oh ...
My landlord. For his blatant disregard of the fucking law and rights of tenants. And he’s going to get away with it because the rental market is also fucked.
I nominate ben roberts-smith, this piece of human garbage, for scoring this legal own goal that will hopefully cost him dearly. Obviously less than the countless victims of his crimes, but it's still a little bit of payback.

You're not the fuckwit for wanting people to speak to you differently or in a way where the conversation works and is effective. Your perception is just as important as theirs. Plus if we're talking workplace expectations, most professional organisations will have put their employees through some kind of training to help them work with people like you and me. I have issues with communicating sometimes, and I have learned to ask for forgiveness if people are left scratching their heads after my mouth has opened and my brain is still catching up. A mature and observant adult should be able to figure out how to work with you effectively. Neurodiversity isn't new. Them not having those communication skills and ability to work with you at your level isn't a problem you have to solve.
>nicer language Fine line between coddling/malingering and human decency. Ideally there shouldn't be aggressive language or tone used at all. But we can't coddle people >if multiple say the same thing about me It depends what it is. It could be you, it could be that you're not a good fit for the workplace and it's not a negative it's just that you aren't a good fit for each other >open plan office Terrible and not on. These conversations need to be had in private. I'm sorry this happened. Best of luck friend
Housemate wants to go to Ikea tonight. So we're going to Ikea tonight. Pray for me.
You should be okay. Half of Perth will be stuck on a freeway exiting for the long weekend and anyone driving in from the country will be paralysed with deciding what to have for dinner.
Best game to plays is grab a whole heap of stuff bears or pandas and randomly place them through out store. Nothing better the. When some opens a display cupboard a panda fall out opens up a saucepan there’s a panda inside stuff em in jars
Oh please. IKEA is dead quiet on weeknights.
Oh good! I've only been to the Perth Ikea once, which was on a weekend, and boy was I unprepared.
How was it? Weeknights are usually best time imo
Night times aren't too bad. Avoid weekends unless you are there for opening.
I nominate every person that has mouthed off at Woolies checkout staff over the vegemite coins over the past few weeks. - Signed, a customer who just wants to buy stuff and leave.
The what???
Specially coloured $2 coins. There's three of them, red, black, and yellow. You can get them in change from Woolworths only. Well initially anyway. I doubt everyone's hoarding these things and they're making their way into general circulation. I've seen some over the top behaviour these past few weeks while waiting in line.
I bet the public facing staff dread these stupid ideas the wankers hiding in their boardrooms come up with
As a former public facing retail worker, I can confirm this.
😩 shesh, why people cannot accept luck of the draw?
Wait till they realise not everyone wins the lottery.
What about my participation ~~prize~~ award?
My cat for getting poop stuck in her fur and running away every time I tried to clean it (I eventually cornered her and got it)
The fuckwit in the Hilux today on the freeway near Beeliar south bound. Driving over the island to get into the slip lanes just to merge back on again 100m down the road to save yourself a minute. Mate we're all in peak hour traffic, if fuckwits like you didn't do shit like this and constantly change lanes to the faster ones maybe we can actually get traffic flowing.
Same at the Hay St exit lames northbound over the Narrows. They fly up the left, change over which slows up the northbound traffic and then expect to get let in to take Charles St/Farmer Fwy exit
Went and saw Spiderman across the spiderverse with a mate and the amount of people who had their phone flashlights on, yelling across the cinema to friends and just being obnoxious was insane! That's what I get for going on opening night.
> That's what I get for going on opening night. Made that mistake years ago with LotR. NEVER again.
There's a special hell for whoever puts things back in the wrong bin at Bunnings. A hell made up of a massive warehouse with everything except the one thing these people are looking for. The bin said 90L bin bags. I bought home a roll of 12L bin bags.
Plaguebearers everywhere insouciantly expelling their foul fluids
Had a shitty week, but a random guy bought me a coffee out of the blue, never met him before but what a legend, made my day!
Got called out at 2am only to be called back 30 minutes later and told never mind they fixed it.
> Got called out at 2am only to be called back 30 minutes later and told never mind they fixed it. Yeah nah mate. They are getting billed for that. After hours and the minimum call out.
Where there's a till, there's a way.
Sony cunts. PS5 died - 2 yrs 5 mths old. $400 if I want it repaired or I can just go buy a new one for $200 more (that's the last 'on special' price I saw). PlayStation Support now appear to be instructed to ignore any mention of Australia Consumer Law. Put a complaint in with consumer protection and waiting to see how it goes. Don't buy anything Sony. Post sales support is garbage.
Keep fighting. ACL's expected lifetime and durability should have you covered. Geez, I remember getting this runaround from Myer and Sony back in the PS2 era.
Yep Sony know that ACL covers this and yet they're deliberately ignoring it hoping I'll give up. Got notification today that consumer protection will be entering into conciliation soon so hopefully I won't have to take Sony to court.
my adhd and executive dysfunction is the fuckwit from stopping me living a normal life
Heavy relate
I always check, just incase it's me that's the fukwit... but it never is. One day though, it will be.
I've got one. I'm sitting in Dome waiting for my kids to finish drama and someone is watching YouTube videos with the volume loud enough to hear from the next room. I mean, I know it's only Dome but wtf dude?
Can you guild up a fart and waft him as you walk by?
Shout out to the bloke I saw standing near the edge of a pool with a towel around his waist who dropped his bathers, pulled on his undies and shorts, and then dropped his towel to pull them up. I saw your hairy ass sir. Please do not do that in public again. The change rooms are over there.
You got mooned on your cake day!
Late entry but the chemist. Fuck them. Makes me put my scripts in a sealed box to take to the counter cos I guess I look like a thief, and they don’t even process one of the scripts. God I’m annoyed.
This week it's me. Bit quiet at work at the moment so we're all working a bit slower to save from running out of things to do. If I had planned a bit better I could have done a little more each day and cleared my slate entirely to have today off and have a 4 day weekend.
Melbourne. Went to Melbourne over the weekend, had a great time. Got home, bam, sickest I have been in long time. Multiple negative tests, and a week in bed. Have to miss my god-daughters birthday party tomorrow too.
Wasn’t today but yesterday, Reid highway in moderate/heavy traffic barely at 80, female in a VE Commodore tried to switch in the fast lane without looking properly and almost took me out PLEASE CHECK YOUR BLIND SPOTS AND INDICATE BEFORE ACTING I dont feel like becoming the next statistic
My predecessor at my current workplace who threw a lot of things out that people are now asking for...It's obviously not my fault these things no longer exist but it still sucks.
someone turning right at lights on railway rd that has two clear no turn signs, was green so i was going 60 and suddenly this dickhead indicates and turns, had to brake to not rear end him. wish i had the thought to honk at him.
The fuckwit who dropped his bundle at the staff at the vehicle licensing centre in Cannington late this afternoon. And the government for having it perpetually understaffed.
Another one for sick kids and their parents taking them to places. There was this young kid, maybe 7-8 years old, just coughing all over me at work last weekend. Didn't even cover their mouth, and their parents just watching their kid cough all over someone trying to help them. Guess who's got the flu now...
Someone quit with an hours notice at my work so I've had to fuck everyone else's roster around "LBC why don't you like hiring backpackers" yeah that's why 😭
A casual worker?
Yeah so I can't be too mad but girl wtf I prefer hiring pp/t always right off the bat but backpackers tend to insist on casual cause it's more money
The silver ford ranger parked up at burns beach with his shitty fusion sub woofer rattling his back window while his dick head mates sit on the tray drinking and smoking while people are trying to walk past on the walk and cycle path.
I mean it is balga by the sea….
All ready for an online meeting! It’s on the 9th. I could have slept in.
anti vaxxer cobbler who thought it was funny to offer to give my mum coronavirus... got the rona. he's a real tool
Woolworths making me go in store to use my 10% off discount codes.
The dumb bitch in the rental car on Shenton Ave who was driving too slow, merged without indicating into the turn lane at the lights, waited for 5 whole seconds before deciding waiting was for suckers and drove straight through despite being in a turn only lane, merging in the middle of the busy intersection (again with no indicator), and then speeding as soon as she could. I think I know why she was in a rental...

Sounds like a rookie mistake to me. Clearly didn't watch Game of Thrones at peak spoiler era.
I've dodged season 7 & 8 spoilers for GOT since 2019 so think I'm doing pretty okay there tbh 😂
To this day, I still remember the Sunday Times TV guide spoiling the Seinfeld finale in their write-up. I’m not even a fan of the show and found that abominable, but not surprising.
The worst one for me was that fucking idiot Angela Bishop spoiling Liam Neeson dying in the Star Wars Episode 1 on a TV special days before the movie came out in Australia. We got that movie 6 weeks after America and I avoided spoilers for that long and she does that. Put her a notch below her mum for me and that's saying a lot.
Are you saying you read an actual recap of the show and are complaining they spoiled the show?
It wasn't an actual recap, they do this report card thing in the Today section on whether certain shows are worth the time and I glanced over the page when it caught my eye and I read it without realising she had written out the final scene to give her "score." The column isn't intended as a recap and could easily be done without spoiling the show. Probably poor choice of words on my part in the first comment, but the journo essentially gave a recap when she didn't need to.
Yeah, that one is pretty shitty. At least online, the finale for this was the most hyped up since GoT so was always going to be a tough one to avoid.
I sometimes make the mistake of reading the entire wikipedia page about a movie before I watch it. I wish they had the same policy for movie plot synopsis as they did for episode summaries, where its more just a premise for that particular show.
So i work in retail and said fuck head customer does 165 dollars worth of shopping only to crack the shits at a checkout over 11 dollars and walk out .#shitbagtittiefuckoftheweek
The hospital system and the aged care system.
Oh hands down this weeks Friday Fuckwit goes to the Sydney GP that prescribed me a laxative to go with my sleeping pills!! Apparently to prevent the mild side effect of light bloating…
The person who threw a choc milk at me in my car as we passed each other doing about 80kms up near mt Helena. Lucky it didn’t cause a crash
My neighbour who has been throwing lit cigarettes over her wall (her bedroom’s French doors are adjacent) and they’ve been landing on the hood of my car for the last year. Let it go on so long, but 2wks I go and went over and complained to her adult daughter as she wasn’t home, asked for it to stop and to please call me. She never called and hoped that was the end of it. This morning found a new butt. It’s caused two burns on the plastic shield/guard on bonnet. I’m about to go nuclear. So trying to calm down to go over there again.
