Fair enough, but plenty of financially secure people have been ruined as a direct result of those machines too. If big brother can protect my kids by not allowing me to smoke in my car, and protect cyclists from being hurt by sharp objects on bullbars, and protect me by making my car unroadworthy because the seatbelt is a little dirty, and protect drunks by putting up fences on cliffs, and protect politicians by making it illegal to shoot them... then they should also protect the vulnerable who are preyed upon by these machines. Sorry its a touchy subject for me having watched someone close destroy their life. I was just saying they pissed me off - that is the name of the thread Don't want the thread to become another pokies rant so I will stop lol
That the LEDs I put in my dash a couple months ago are now flickering. Same 2 that blew quickly the first week I had the stato dash in. They were fine for a while. Now they have started to flicker.. Argh!
Yer pokie machines p ss me off too. Very anti-social machines that play on people's desperation or greed. Never used to have them at every pub but now they can't seem to live without them. Bloody disgrace! Also p sses me off when some f ker opens their car door and dings my car. How hard is it to get out of your damn car without damaging someone elses?? Should be legal to shoot them in the face.
Depends on the parking spot I sed to drive a Mitsubishi canter some parking spots I could back in and people either side could get out comfortably its just a matter of how wide the parking spot is and how wide the car and driver is
Mobile phones in restaurants . I hate it when you go out to dinner with a bunch of friends and half of them can't seem to put their phones down . I also hate how parents give 5-6 year olds ipads/iPhones saying it a educational tool . It's not its a TOY they play games on them . Would they go to k mart and buy the kid a $700 TOY made of glass ? I also hate how you don't see kids outside playing anymore , when I was a kid the whole street used to be friends , not anymore .my niece jumps straight on her pc as soon as she gets home from school . I've already told my sister off for it .
We used to think the same, but now both my 3 and 5 year olds have iPods, we found that they are a good educational tool. When I was their age, there were no computers or mobile technology, so imagine what will be around when they are 18. Not only are they learning about technology and what it can do, many of the games they play are based around learning numbers and letters, which my kids are now well beyond. They also use them to talk to me and text me while I am at work, they check the weather, learn about time and timing and do a whole heap of others things, so yes, they are educational. FWIW my kids also play outside most of the day, just for a bit of balance to your post lol.
The fact that the new steering rack we put in 18 months ago already has discernible wear in it Parents who think their child is automatically special and as such are entitled to special educational treatment Any car brand that isn't aussie, european or japanese And the BIG ONE..... People who go to movies/cafe/restaurant in a large group and order/pay at counter INDIVIDUALLY......
Woke up, mustve drooled on phone during sleep as phone wasnt working properly. lol Managed to fix the touch screen but power button not working, Taken it half apart but no joy but bypassed it with an app but still.
happens all the time with the car im wrecking, bloody pisses me off. my dog still doesnt eat anything, and i think i found out why, when my mum gets home from taxi driving in the morning she buy's a bacon and egg sandwich from the servo and gives it to the dogs, i told her 'dont buy anymore sandwiches for the dogs' the next morning she get another one for them. its mums fault why they dont eat, the dogs dont eat because they know they are going to get a sandwich in the morning, but she keeps wasting money on sandwiches for them :bang: my dog might be turning vegetarian, i give her some mince but she doesnt eat it and continues looking for food, then i see her walking out the door with a potato..... WTF i put mince out for you, you bloody idiot !
Dirty, filthy grots who don't flush public toilets. Nothing worse than opening the door and finding yellow water or a big stinking horse sized turd sitting in the toilet to greet you.... & visitors who leave skid marks in your own toilet. The dunny brush isn't a decoration, USE it if you skid! I remember seeing a humorous sign in a workshop toilet that said 'could the person with the V8 arse please clean up your skidmarks' lol
We had an Australia Day celebration at ours last year, and my bro came outside and told me the toilet wouldn't flush & that there was **** all over the toilet, dunny roll and piss all festering in the bowl, & it STANK. After cleaning it all up, & ringing the rental place to get someone out to fix it, I went for a walk to the shops with my mates for alcohol. I asked a few mates about the toilet & one of them said it was my bro who broke it. WELL, Turns out it was my mate & he was blaming my bro for it. Like wtf, at least tell me if you broke my toilet, I couldn't have cared less, but to just leave it all in the bowl & blame it on the person who brought it to my attention was a douche move.
Reminds me of this dumb ####ing bitch friends girlfriend who broke my seat pocket by using it as a cup holder for her big #### off slushy. Then tries to tell me it was already like that. Yea, like I wouldn't notice a huge hanging flap in the back.
When your employer ####s up pays. For me to be plus RDO hours instead of minus, I have to work 3 weeks straight instead of my 9 day fornight. Just so I can be back on track. I started at this new place half way through this year, cause im with an agency group. Whatever you call them. Started with 12 hrs RDO, they #### a week up, charge the host for my RDO, then double charged me which got me minus RDO. Im ####ing confused. I worked 2 straight weeks then got an RDO when I started. But yet im minus. WTF! ####ing stupid ####ing ####s need to ####ing figure this ####ing bull **** out.
try having RDO's on a monday. when you have school on the same day =P although atleast they could fix it up. dont want to know how many i've had to get fixed up though. at school though. teachers wont give tests back to review them. why you no show the 1 question answered wrong for such a result. and then people who complain about being there. if you dont like it get out! =P especially seeing its at the important part now.
They wont fix their mistake. I have to have 3 60 hr or more weeks in a row just so I can get back into the right form.. I wonna be under my host employers books
