Yeah, the bay run is exactly the same… I ride it and am very conscious of those walking/running (mainy cause my wife runs it and always complains about the cyclists) but I’ve seen some people, fully lycred up using it like a tour de france time trial and missing kids and dogs by millimeters as they ride the apex of the bends.
Settle down you bell ends…
tempted to just stand there with a stick…
Back spasms.
Sydney Airport can fuck right off. So I land back in Sydney this morning after a month away. On my travels I have lost my pen. Handed a customs declaration to fill out along with everyone else. There is a big table with declaration forms in many different languages except there isn’t any fucking pens to fill out the stupid forms. I tell a lie, there is the inside of 1 pen, so the ink holder thing with a ball point on the end. So literally half a pen for plane loads of international tourists to fill out these ridiculous forms. People are literally lining up to use a broken pen.
So every time an employee goes past which admittedly isn’t very often I ask are there any more pens? Same answer, No people keep nicking them. Eventually its my turn to use this busted pen and by this stage I was pissed off. I didn’t even fill the form properly, just put a few random squiggles here and there, about as good as can be expected anyway. I hand it to the uniform guy expecting him to laugh or at least tell me to do it properly, but nah he just says all good mate and I walk through, he didn’t even check.
What would foreign visitors be thinking for their first impression after landing in Sydney, For context, 1 of the countries I visited was Cambodia, a third world country by most measurements. I was able to submit the same form electronically there, they even had free Wifi for people without a local SIM card.
I hope the new Sydney airport totally destroys these fucking incompetent clowns
They’re supposed to be ditching the form for an electronic one so that’s good news. Hopefully it will be better implemented than it is in Japan because they have an online system and it causes absolute chaos.
Supposed to get a delivery today. Just got a message that there was an unsuccessful attempt at 10:37. At this time I was sitting on my computer, 3 metres from an open front door with the gate to the front porch in view. Top stuff.
While I’m whinging about deliveries - the enshitification of parcel tracking really grinds my gears. It got so amazing there for a while and has been gradually going down hill for ages. When I looked up the time frame yesterday one section said “delivery today”, the next said “delivery tomorrow”, then a third said "delivery Thursday.
As Litti would say - Faaaaaaaaark yjooooooou.
Last year I had a “confirmation” of a delivery that was clearly not my front door. Given it had critical medical supplies in there, it was really not helpful. It did, however, come back to me. No idea how, but it took an extra few weeks.
I hurt my ankle today at work. So decided to get take away delivered for dinner. It just came. Guy called Deepchandra. He watched me struggle, limping from my door to the street, sitting on his bike holding out the bag like it was a price to get to in a challenge.
I even had to stop halfway and lean on my car because of the pain. He kept watching with a stern face. I finally get to him, he hands me the bag and looks at me and looks angry because i took so long.
Then i go to thank him for the delivery and he turns away and ignores any communication.
I’ve certainly had much better nicer humans to interact with in this same situation.
Do i give him 5 stars for delivering my delivery, or 1 for being a complete twat?
1, easy. Fuck that guy.
I always seem to think if i downvote them, they downvote me.
I do appreciate the work they have done to bring me my food, but…
Is that guy the PCC of Uber Eats?
Yeah fuck that cunt.
Not sure where i should have posted this. Given we’re sucking herbs from apples pics, i thought why not here.
Not me in the pic obviously, stole it from FB.
Sky Blue is sky blue…
Farken phone scammers. Got a random voicemail from my super fund saying that they want to chat about an email they sent about retirement planning and left a phone number.
Rang the actual super fund, no one from there rand me so locked my account down with 2 step verification, something I have been putting off for a while.
Someone managed to get into my ATO account despite 2 factor authentication… Not sure how that even works because I definitely didn’t get an sms
Someone tried mine and locked it out, including my digital Medicare card!
SIM swapping
Cabs.
Was in town last night and was leaving to go home in that horrific storm. Was 7.30 so assume it was mid shift
Managed to flag a cab, who, with the doors locked lowered the window to ask “where to mate?”
Just open the fucking door
And people wonder why uber is thriving
Did that to the Mrs last night and wanted to $60 to get to crows nest. Cunts.
