Things that give you the sh1ts

people who buys something for 60c and they give you a $50 note

I rarely carry change, as we tend to chuck it in a jar at home for things like Pizza.
I try to pay with smaller notes because I know finding change is tricky for shop-keepers, but reasonably often I have nothing smaller on me than a $50.
Then I offer the shop-keeper the choice of the $50 or the Visa card as there isn't much choice....

You're not related to the British Royal Family are you Psyber. I heard they never carry anything less than 50 bucks

Agreed fully, I make a point of carrying change so I can get in and out of the fast lane as quick as possible out of consideration for the people behind me, in smaller shops people appreciate you giving the right money too.
The amount of times peole get a card out to buy a bloody iced coffee or similar is amazing, they should all be shot!

I always scoop a handful of coins out of my change jar before leaving the house. That typically turns into a coffee at Adelaide train station while I'm waiting for my connection.

I empathise fully with the "wallet full of $50 notes" complaint; blame the ATMs. These days when I withdraw $ from an ATM I withdraw an amount which requires a few $20 notes to make it up, e.g. $180 = 2 fittys and 4 lobsters.

Spot on. I do the same. Always grab the right coins for the Budget lady at the Bay (hey Psuedo ), and usually have the coinage for a Hotdog !

Nothing worse then breaking a $50 for a minimal costing item...

[Footy Chick]

worse than that? Being 5c short... always happens to me!

I hate when I put in a really good post waiting for a bite and..........nothing. Then someone else comes on and changes the subject and my post gets lost in the system.

I keep trying to remember to do that but the jar is in the kitchen/rear family room about 25 metres from the front door, and so I often don't think of it until I've already driven off. I keep some coin in each car for meters, but I use that so rarely I don't remember to grab that either.

It is similar to defusing a bomb... a social service.

People who have their wedding during the AFL Grand Final. Bloody rugby wankers.

That has always amazed me, i suppose some people are just not interested in it...

Saying that, we are expecting child no.3 and guess when its due...AFL Grand Final day !!! Not very well planned at all...

Thats just a recipe for disaster Felch because you know that anydate within 7 days of it is going to end up being GF day at some stage in the future.. Push for October!

But thats no good either - SANFL Grand Final and Bathurst 1000 become factors then too !

And any earlier, SAAFL finals become an issue ! I'm doomed...

Both families are rugby lovers. Had a huuuge fight with the missus about it, still not resolved. I'm hoping I can skip the ceremony which is at 3.30pm and just go to the reception at 6. Win/win situation, piss up with mates watching the GF and then piss up with her afterwards all on someone elses money

All sounds reasonable to me, but good luck convincing the missus !

Done!! WOOT!!

Either I am very persuasive or she is an awesome lady. Now I just have to get there in one piece and without my suit covered in beer

[Felch]

Good work, i wonder if my missus will be as understanding when i tell her i can't be at the birth because i have a Grand Final bbq to attend...

Sounds reasonable to me - birth is "women's business" as far as I am concerned.

But I do have my redeeming features - I talk to women rather than treat them as objects!

I've always gone for brains and good movement in women, and, only secondarily, a nice hour-glass shape without being exaggerated anywhere.
All the women in my life have been into athletics, in one way or another, or dance, and not boring to talk to.
