This is what coffee is for

The fire alarm seems to go off at work when I’m in the middle of something really important.

Work deadlines. Getting sick in derby week (also impacting said work deadlines). Dealing with fucking idiots on a daily basis. People who don’t understand what a page limit is.

I am a 50/50 for Saturday which fucken blows.

Pressure washed part of our shared driveway infront of my house on the weekend and didnt realise the runoff was sitting in a corner infront of our neigbours house. Ilhe knocked on my door this morning and i apologized and told him id clean it up first thing when i get home. On my way home, my wife called me to tell me he was doing it himself

The uber im in still has the protective plastic over the centre screen. You can see the bubbles behind it. This is going to be a long drive

You have to peel it. Is the driver some kind of monster?

You know who the monster is?

The savage that peels it when you’re leaving it on to see how long it will last!

Answer: Up until some savage peels it.

I get sick once a year, and I just happen to cop it two days before Anzac Day.

Left hand side you earned them, right hand side someone else did.

I have no problem with that.
Kids, Grandkids, Great Grandkids etc. wearing the medals and marching in remembrance of immediate family members is fine by me.

Don’t wear them on the left hand side though.

If only there was a song to remind you what side you wear your medals…

Interesting. I must admit I have never heard of this rule before.

Movie theatre etiquette

Saw civil war yesterday, and there’s a bit at the start that is completely silent and a pretty big part of the movie. The cunt behind me is digging through his popcorn like he’s digging for gold in the bottom of the bucket.

Hope you choked, cunt

I’m a big popcorn face stuffer, but im always so self-conscious about how noisy it is. I’ll be wrist deep in a bucket but then the scene will change into something silent and I freeze in fear. Dont wanna be that guy.

I (silently) applaud you.

My popcorn is normally empty by the end of the trailers

“A quiet place” caused me anxiety for a week. Not cos of the movie, but because I bought a large popcorn for a movie that is 90% silence.

Those “City Convenience” type shops littered around the CBD. What a bunch of thieving crooks they are. The prices they charge are astronomical. I can’t imagine many locals shop there but they would be ripping off tourists blindly

It’s not just the CBD. There’s a chain called Woolworths and another one called I think Coles that both rob people blind all over the city.
