Things that give you the sh1ts

[Lightning McQueen]

When somebody barges into your office and opens up with the line “sorry to interrupt you while you’re eating your lunch” and then just continues on with whatever they came in for!

They usually get a fair dose of sarcasm mixed with wit.

When people used to do this to me, I would say at the end "ok my lunch has just reset, starting my 30 minutes again from now"

I usually point out that they are impeding on my 8 minutes of break from a day that is at least 10 hours in the office and often a couple more once I’m home.

It won’t always be like this but each time I master one skill set I begin learning another.

Another Australia Post success story.
Something I ordered left store in Perth Wed arvo, gets to Adelaide Airport later in the afternoon.
Estimated date of delivery tomorrow (Thurs 28/3).

Check today and its back in WA with an estimated date of delivery Wed 3/4 - Thu 4/4.
WTF?

Eddie Betts' kids racially abused while playing basketball in their own back yard. Would love it if they could identify the car & out the c***

I used them 3 years ago when they financed a new car purchase, nothing but praise with the application process and communication, and again with closing out the loan.

Only been last 12 months they’ve gone to shit.

Possibly not a popular peeve, but here goes …

Firstly, I feel very sorry for anyone who has been scammed. No-one deserves it and it’s a great stain on society.

That said, I can understand to some extent how people are conned into parting with their money the first time, but if the scam involves you giving up large amounts of your money to a third party, multiple times, by your actions, then please don’t blame the financial institution where your funds are deposited for your demise.

In almost every time this occurs, it’s the result of your ill advised actions to provide someone else who you don’t know with either direct access to your funds by breaching the security protocols that protect them, or by authorising multiple payments to that third party.

It’s not a rational thing to have to pay money to receive money, if it’s too good to be true, then invariably, it is.

Yes, it’s tragedy that you have lost a large sum of money, but unfortunately it’s all on you.

100%.

I'm cynical to the point where I had a valid insurance overpayment that I ignored for months, convinced it was a scam. Turns out it wasn't and I got the cash

Can only imagine.
I had to Google when it was built.
1984
I thought it was built earlier than that.

Not everyone is as educated as some, especially old lonely people.

All cross roads (west-east) have slowed down dramatically in recent times. Seems they have changed the light sequencing to favour the artierals (north-south) even more.

I find after trains pass the lights sequencing goes back to north-south and not the sequencing it was up to.
I sat there for 18 mins this morning heading east on cross roads

I know someone who used to work in the traffic control centre, and would constantly troll him about stuff like this.

I’d also set him off by asking why trams couldn’t turn right at King William St/North Tce.

You would be amazed on how many times every day people walk into their banks convinced that sending thousands to strangers will benefit them in some capacity.

Yeah, about a month ago I was heading East and waited a good 15-20 minutes. The train lights stayed on for ages for 2 trains even though one of them took several minutes to get to the intersection then when the boom gates went up they let the North/South traffic go through and about 20 seconds later the train boom gates came down again for another 2 trains that took forever. When they finally passed they let the North/South traffic go again
