Things that give you the sh1ts

[Pseudo]

1. People that complain about having to vote.

My suggestion for a new immigration policy - Anyone who doesn't want to vote, not a problem. We'll just do a straight swap for someone from China, Zimbabwe, or North Korea who does. Hell, we've got a good supply of leaky boats ready to make a return journey.

We get to vote = our country's not FUBAR. It ain't rocket science people.

Correction: We have the option to vote = the country is not FUBAR.

I should very much like to exercise my democratic right to stay sitting on my @rse on election day, but I am subject to oppression by totalitarian laws which would deprive me of coin in order to obtain my democratic right to silence.

I'd take the Taliban any day over running the polling booth leaflet gauntlet every 3 years.

Not being able to sleep. I've been trying for about an hour and a half but now I'm up again.

Your bloody election. It's been all over our news for days...first we had the months of tedium that was Obamafest, then our own and now yours...hurry up and get it over with

I do a postal vote every time.
I arranged a silent enrolment with the AEC some years ago, and registered to be sent a postal vote at the same time.

Smokers who drive along and flick their cigarette out the window of the car when they have finished..... Do they think it just magically disappears ???

I knew you'd have something to say Psuedo.

I still don't understand your not wanting to have a say in who governs you, just doesn't make sense to me. Obviously nothing I say is going to change you mind though, so each to their own.

I'm happy to vote GN although I think I may have simliar feelings to Pseudo in some respects.

In all honesty, how much does my life change on a day to day basis regardless of who is voted in?

Not a lot - and that is the whole point, plain and simple. Thanks to our political system we have a stable, moderate, capable government with excellent checks and balances. This might be boring, but it's a good thing.

Not a lot, until you have to sign a workplace agreement.

Spot on. The last agreement someone signed in my family got a payrise and kept all the perks ! All good !!

[Psyber]

I tend to favour voluntary voting on the grounds that those who can't be bothered should rightly be ignored!
[As much as I was once a supporter of, "Don't vote, it only encourages them!"]

Bottom line is I'd much rather be debating workplace agreements than dodging workplace executions.

The youngest having to see an ENT doc to get her tonsils out... and she is only 19 and 1/2 months old...

Just like her big sister who had hers out at 20 and 1/2 months

Angus has been on the public waiting list for nearly three years now to get his tonsils looked at. They block his whole throat. I've just got him on my private health insurance, so maybe we'll be able to get him sorted out now.

The fact that I can't go into my bank, with which I have several accounts, and open a new one.
I must organise an appointment, which of course can't take place at the time I've made in my day to deal with the issue.
Why can't I just do it then and there????
Bloody banks.

Right o, so when they said you couldn't open an account, did you promptly ask if you had to make an appointment to cancel all the accounts you currently have?

Because I would have
