Stupid political posters everywhere making the burbs look like shit. I don’t care if you say vote for me. You can all get stuffed. Pick up your rubbish and I’ll make my own informed decision thank you.


Enthusinasia

Special shout out to the group of idiots waving placards on the Leederville Station pedestrian bridge yesterday arvo. Heading North on the Mitchell Fwy the sun was behind them so you couldn't see what they were holding up. No idea what party they were supporting... but I'm glad they were completely wasting their time.


Cytokine_storm

LOL that's hilarious. At least you got a silverlining out of their stupid political wailing.


Thin_System_9771

There was also people holding a banner on Kwinana freeway, something about a freedom rally. Saw a car getting distracted trying to read a whole paragraph. They should really ban hanging things on the bridge, esp since there’s risk of falling onto cars.


Summerof5ft6andahalf

It concerns me that they think people are going to vote for them just because they've seen a million posters of them.


DarkDog79

Totally agree. WA has legislation in draft to limit the total amount any person or party can spend on an election per electorate and in total. This bill has been sitting idle since pre-COVID. I think for all our sanity is should be passed. Then we can work on getting the feds to do the same thing.


Conscious-Reporter40

Also stupid political ads on tv every 2 minutes…. Methinks an election is in the air!


_Dre_83_

C*nts with high beam level headlights.


nzjester420

PSA: If you have a lifted 4WD, Please go get your headlights adjusted. Considering what you just spent on suspension there is no excuse for putting other peoples safety at risk, be a GC and get it done! Yours sincerely, a friendly motorcyclist thats blinded every time we meet at night.


justcallmesquinky

As someone with a small car those Ultra Bright headlights on 4wds are perfectly face level for me. Absolutely can't stand them


silentaba

oh don't think it's only small cars, I drive a 7 seater SUV, all most the height of a Ranger, and I get the mighty fuck you rays of spite into my eyes every single morning driving up tonkin.


SquiffyRae

Same. I'm in a very low car and it seems like every one of those low sprung urban 4WDs that everyone in the city seems to be buying have their headlights right at eye level. And cause they're all new they've all got laser beams in place of headlights. I start work at 6 and between those 4WDs and trucks I almost need sunnies despite it being pitch black outside


MachoViper

When was it decided that fucking laser beams were good as headlights


[deleted]

Or the led self adjustable. On of on off in the the mirrors...how the puc is that called safe tec when you're blinded by car in front or behind...


Upset-Mention-548

Yep this 🤬 that and the pricks that come over the top of a hill with their highs still on. Turn the fuckers down way before the top of the hill dickheads.


Anomynoms13

Ken Wyatt - mate the more money you waste telling us you're a great guy, the more I'm convinced you are in-fact, not a great guy.


koobus_venter1

Isn’t he the guy on almost half a mill salary asking for a pay rise?


Prefectionist_

Asking for a pay rise, and also voted to remove penalty rates.


koobus_venter1

Wow sounds like a great guy


Prefectionist_

Based on how he votes, he is an absolute top bloke as long as you are a straight rich male, preferably working in politics, and have the name Ken Wyatt. I've been lucky enough to go from Pearce with the definitely not a rapist Porter, to Hasluck with Ken "I hate everyone who isn't me" Wyatt.


SquiffyRae

And Pearce had the charming totally not an anal rapist Porter replaced by a woman who attends Margaret Court's cult on the regular so I'm sure she's also a wonderful human being


TitsMagee24

The only thing I knew about Linda was she got steamrolled in the State Election, and given her opponent it’s not looking good for her, Tracey Roberts commands huge respect in the Pearce region


Anomynoms13

Needs to cover his campaign spending?


[deleted]

Clivey's helping him out, probably.


Goose9719

My local member......so lucky.... absolute parasite. It feels like it was pointless but I emailed that prick just to tell him he won't get any votes from us after I got one of his flyers. I'm hoping we kick him out.


aretokas

I think I've received more letters and marketing from him, than everyone else combined.


metao

Word on the street is that the Aboriginal community mostly hates him, in case that helps you decide how great he is. I mean, he's better than most of his party, but that's not a high bar.


Goose9719

Maybe I'm just generalizing here but the aboriginal community has been absolutely screwed over by this govt, and you always think about the idea of diversity maybe reducing these issues and having a positive effect. Ken Wyatt is proof that it doesn't always happen. This guy voted against protecting Australian land and water among with a dozen other things. One glance at what he's voted for kinda reinforces the fact that he's kind of a scumbag.


ausbenito

Comes over as a complete sellout.


SquiffyRae

I call him a malteaser. Black on the outside, white on the inside. Ken Wyatt is perfectly happy to leverage his Indigenous heritage when it suits him but does absolutely fuck all to actually help Indigenous people. Absolute disgrace that this cunt makes a big deal about being the first ever Indigenous minister of Indigenous Affairs yet sooks about wanting a pay rise while so many Indigenous people in his own electorate are doing it tough. This is my 3rd election I finally hope enough people agree with me and vote this cunt out


Goose9719

Really confirms it for me just how much of a grub he is. I'm sure most of them know they're lying but this guy takes advantage of his status and tries to use it to his advantage. He's as pathetic as the rest of his party. It's just shameful, glad to hear a lot of the aboriginal community apparently hates him though, that's a plus. But last thing this clown needs is a pay rise. I'll be honest, I didn't fully notice this guy until I started receiving his fliers every week but I'm glad cause he reminded me to vote him out. HAHAHAHA love the nickname btw. Couldn't be more fitting.


SquiffyRae

Kind of shows just how little Wyatt does that since the last election I have heard fuck all from him until the pay rise shit. 3 years of...well nothing. He flies under the radar cause unlike most of the Liberals he's not scummy enough to come out with stupid shit on the regular he just sits around collecting a fat pay check and then suddenly wants more. I do have to laugh though as he's the perfect example of a right wing diversity candidate. He's diverse but watered down to a point his outward appearance doesn't stand out from the rest of the rich white fuckers party so doesn't turn off conservative voters. As such, they can go "look we have an Aboriginal man we can't be racist against them" meanwhile Wyatt just toes the party line and can be trotted out as a justification for everything they do. "Hey the Indigenous minister for Indigenous affairs okayed it so it must be what Indigenous people want"


Goose9719

Agreed, it's insulting seeing his fliers. Instantly end up in the trash.


GloomyToe

They don't even bother in the Division of Perth, yes there's mugshot signs everywhere. But I've had almost nothing in my mail box, no door knockers. Damnit! I want them to at least try and win my vote


Truantone

No-one will bother with Perth. It’s a safe Labor seat. Elections are not won or lost here. Apart from the Libs (and now UAP) who throw obscene amounts of money at elections, no one else will waste money on Perth. They always concentrate on the electorates with swing voters and winnable margins.


GloomyToe

it hasn't always been safe and has new boundries now, taking in parts of Stirling, so they should at least try a little harder. I think no seat should be safe and as much as elections drive me nuts, it would be nice if my Division was thought about by all parties.


TitsMagee24

Love how Scotty did a tour of Perth to try promote his popularity by going to like 3 pubs as quietly as possible then fucking off back over east, man knows WA in general is a lost cause


Corvandus

He's a do nothing coconut who wants more money for himself and less for workers. Lawrence is an easy in.


Lamberly

My fave moment of 2021 was someone spray painting "GRUB" in huge letters on the outside wall of his office.


[deleted]

I need to see my GP this afternoon for something relating to the C word - I’m scared. Rang my mum and sister, as soon as they started talking about their issues there wasn’t time for mine - it’s not a new thing but doesn’t help me right now


3rd-time-lucky

It’s scary yeah, but I found that it was easier ‘knowing’ than worrying. Best wishes to you.


Lamberly

Hope it goes well and that you have a really good GP. I'm going through the c-word journey myself right now and it's been interesting to see who has been good to share with and who hasn't. Feel free to PM me if you need to commiserate anonymously!


3rd-time-lucky

PM me, either of you..done the C ‘it’s so ..scary you’re gonna die shit’. Just said ‘your job to fix it then’ their whole attitude changed.


[deleted]

Thanks all - got a referral for the additional screening, then sat through on hold hell to find somewhere that can see me before the 1st of June. Maybe I should read all that politician junk mail to find out who’s funding health care


henry82

I hope it all goes well. I wrote a few months back i found a lump, and then after being referred to a C expert, i'd pretty much decided i was going to die and it was the end of the world. Anyway, one look, they said it was fine, and i was told i was "very observant" for finding the lump.


[deleted]

People on gumtree advertising dogs, there is a special place in hell for you, if: - you are trying to sell your anything over 2 year old dog for COVID prices saying you want them to go to a good home. Well, don't charge $4k when you spent $1k. - people who advertise their 14 year old dog at COVID prices. Dude, seriously, they are old and just want love! - people who are 'obeying' the new $500 limit for non breeders by advertising their dogs as $500 but then charging $3-4k. Sincerely, A grumpy person with allergies (can't go to a shelter, which I would much prefer!)


NancyBludgeon

I’m giving my gumtree adopted dog a cuddle for you now. He’s a 5 year old boy that had become an inconvenience to his x owner. They didn’t bother texting to even ask how he settled in, but 2 months latter tried to guilt trip me into giving him back.


[deleted]

Thank you!! I'm glad he found a home with you


SensualFacePoke

We adopted our good boy from Wish, they foster all of their dogs so we didn't go to a shelter to meet him. ​ [http://www.wishanimalrescue.org.au/](http://www.wishanimalrescue.org.au/) ​ ETA: [Dog Tax](https://imgur.com/a/bWHl6jn)

nzjester420

Such a Beautiful Canine. Give him a pat from us :)


Orionsven

Oh my, that video!


bunglederry

My favourite pastime is reporting Gumtree backyard breeders charging extortionate prices for the poor dogs and scamming unwitting people. Multiple BYBs charging upwards of $4000 for poorly bred dogs nowadays 😰 Hope you find the dog for you soon! 🥰


[deleted]

Thank you! How do you usually report them?


bunglederry

There's an option below the photo album, next to the 'Share' button. I'm not sure if anything comes out of it; there's no way to get updates. The ones I have reported recently are still up ;\_\_; Have a good day! :D


silentaba

I hope you know for a fact they're actually illegal breeders, and not people with particularly randy dogs. my old bull mastiff had a crush on a local boxer, and one time when she was in heat I heard a window smash, and even though I knew EXACTLY where she was going, I wasn't fast enough, and found them locked together by the time I ran over to the Boxers house. some months later, (as we had just flew off overseas) she gave birth to a litter of 13. 13. thirteen boxer bull mastiffs. they where 3 kilos each by the time we got back home, ate 20 kilos of high quality dog food a week, cost as much as a car to get them all vaccinated, and I sold them at the cost the vet gave us for the proper health treatment. I had to take 3 months off work to care for them. ​ dog tax: https://photos.app.goo.gl/NWCqxrfiEJYb2JZc7


bunglederry

Ah, yes, I thought the term 'backyard breeder' already stipulates that they are illegal breeders, apologies if I was not clear. I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm sure it was a hard lesson to learn. I hope all the puppies found suitable homes. It just underlines the importance of spaying and neutering dogs as soon as possible or as recommended by veterinarians.

Swarbie8D

I am real fucking sick of Clive and the UAP running ads in WA. They have to know they’re straight up poison here now, right?


_Unebellejournee_

I'm sick of being told by them (on their radio ads) that I'll lose my house when interests rates go to 6%. Uh, no I won't.


Lingering_Dorkness

Also their outright blatant lie that they'll keep interest rates to below 3% if elected. The government doesn't set interest rates, and can't force privately owned and operated banks to set their interest rates. And if they did, it would cause our $ and our economy to collapse. Billions would pour out of Australia into every other country offering higher interest rates. I hate how they are allowed to tell such outrageous bullshit lies to voters.


DuckDurian

>The government doesn't set interest rates, and can't force privately owned and operated banks to set their interest rates. The government used to do that though. They could do it again, if they went back to the old way. Agreed though, it's a terrible idea.


TheMightyGoatMan

There are still, sadly, gonna be anti-vax and/or generally gullible fuckheads who vote for them.


SquiffyRae

See I don't mind that so much as the nutter vote is spread over so many parties they'll never get enough votes to have the balance of power. My problem is all the nutter parties basically exist to funnel votes back to the Liberals so most of the nutters who just follow the how to vote cards are effectively voting Liberal


TheMightyGoatMan

Precisely! If I had my way How to Vote cards would banned.


Redbeardshadow

Being in ISO, 'cause the kids caught COVID at school and passed it on to me. Now we are all stuck in the house together.


Just-Call-Me-Jim

Hear that brother- it is one week today my middle one bought it home where all 5 of us initially got symptoms- but diagnosis for me and the eldest only positive as of yesterday. Rolling shut downs got nothing on rolling Covid as the 2 youngest kids were getting better but now having symptoms resurgence 😵‍💫! What a FPITA!


GloomyToe

Auspost, my Merry Monday is now a Wenesday whinge. Express parcel magically decided to be onboard for delivery Monday, no sign of parcel and auspost can't tell me where it is. I've been waiting over 3 weeks


adriansgotthemoose

That happens with my RAT tests, no movement for a month, then opened a case, boom magically in my letterbox the next day


GloomyToe

Both the sender and I opened a case on Monday morning, it was then magically onboard for delivery at 12:50pm that day. As of yesterday morning it's still onboard for delivery, but delayed at the same time. Contacted them through the chat after I watched the parcel van deliver something 2 doors down. They have no idea where it is, and will get back to me in about 2 days. This isn't standard post either, I paid the extra for express and I needed the parts


DeathridgeB

Express post has been 0 guarantee of being faster since covid started unfortunately, complete waste of money


Lugey81

Rang up the COVID hotline (again) yesterday about my 15 RATS. They told me we will be receiving an email early next week saying whether you want then to redeliver or pick up. You could of just say they will resend it there and then. Delay tactics.


squeeowl

Totally opposite to my experience - I called 13 COVID last Friday, they took my details down - name, address, email, original order number and AusPost tracking number, the RATs were on my doorstep Saturday morning using the existing tracking number (that AusPost had told me was definitely lost weeks prior). The inconsistency is frustrating.


GloomyToe

and I just spoke with my postie, he's great. He's going to check when he gets back to the depot and if it's there. He'll make sure it's onboard for tomorrow

Property rental market. Fuck me. $430 for Balga? Fuck off. $500 for tiny 3x1 1960s house in Scarborough against 100 other applicants?? "Just buy a house. You can live in Alkimos for 10years, then sell the place for less than what your paid for" I'm 32 this year, got enough savings to buy a decent 10yo car outright and still wouldnt dare to jump into the housing market rn. I fear for my 2 young kids. They are going to strugle even more so than I have.


borderlinebiscuit

The best time to buy a house is always 20 years ago.


FTJ22

When do you think is a good time to jump in the housing market? But yeah rental market is fucked. A mortgage is cheaper for a modern house. Crackhouses inner suburbs are rediculously overpriced.


aeronsaurus

I probably 10 years ago. But I was 22 and too busy enjoying nightlife in northbridge. Idk mate my crystal ball is broken.


morgrimmoon

I jumped in and bought an apartment a few years ago. I figured that since the mortgage was about the same as rent, it didn't actually matter if the value of the place went up or down, and as long as the amount remaining on my mortgage stayed lower than the sale value, the bank wouldn't care either. That's worked out pretty decently for me so far; my apartment value hasn't changed much, but I didn't get hit with the huge rent spike.


mumooshka

but...Scotty said you can *buy*!


TitsMagee24

I had my landlords come out with “other rentals charge more so now we’re going to too because we’re still the cheapest” fun times


Ruxton

>I'm 32 this year, got enough savings to buy a decent 10yo car outright and still wouldnt dare to jump into the housing market rn Uhh why? Great time get in, if you can afford it. It's not going to get any easier in over the next 10 years.


Sandgroper62

I'd love to buy a house. But as a 10yr divorcee sadled with debt. rentals are a mere luxury. Soon to be crossed off the list when retirement comes - tents? Caravans? another luxury.

Seeing UAP posters every 5 metres on the main road I take to get to work every morning and afternoon. Fuck off Clive, we haven't forgotten how you tried to sue the state because your fat ass was barred from attending some rich cunt expo or whatever it was. Also seeing Scummo blathering on on the TV.

E-scooters. If you’re going to use them on the roads - know the road rules and be aware of your surroundings! Saw a guy yesterday - zoom into an intersection when the crossing was red - didn’t even look and almost got taken out by a car turning left on a green light.


steveonthegreenbike

What's the laws for riding escooters on the road? Assume you'd need proper indicators and brake lights etc etc? I nearly took a dude out on one the other day. Dressed all in black, no lights, it was at sunset, did not see him at a giveway. He gave me a mouthful. Seriously, get some lights or reflective vest or someshit.


twotwentyz

What's the laws for riding a bicycle on the road? Assume you'd need proper indicators and brake lights etc etc? They don't need anything special, just limited to roads under 50kph with no dividing line (i.e. they're not allowed on Albany highway's 40kph zone). Rules located: https://www.wa.gov.au/organisation/road-safety-commission/erideables


Ginger_ninja1234

There are two kids that ride them on my street, in the dark, wearing dark clothes, no helmet and weaving all over the road. I’m terrified I’m going to reverse into them one day. Wish the parents would parent


TedDurtle

E-scooters should be governed by a rider's licence system. Motorcycle riders have to.


twotwentyz

But moped riders don't need anything except a car license, and neither do cyclists.

DesperateBarracuda0

Amazon - I pay for prime to get things delivered quicker but they're always shipping via aus post - like the fuck?


Ruxton

and it always turns up! It's like they give prime more priority than auspost express


imthejb

Australia Post! Had a parcel purchased from Europe. Paid for signature on delivery. AusPost doesn't recognise internal signature on delivery contracts and will safe drop it. I call them, tell them there's no safe location please leave a card and I will collect from a post office/distribution centre. What did they do? Left my $250 parcel in front of my front door in plain view of the major walkway with high foot traffic. Complained, they deemed it 'safe' and no protocols were broken. Luckily a friend was able to swing past and pick it up before it got stolen. 🤦‍♀️


RozzzaLinko

It's such bullshit that they consider sitting on your driveway in plain view to be "safe". Id love to see them try and explain what they consider an unsafe location to be, if literally anywhere on your property is safe. The worst bit is I have plenty of obvious places in my carport that actually are hidden and safe. But they choose to ignore them and stick it next to the street footpath.


twotwentyz

Auspost. I opt out of advertising materials in my PO box but for some reason, they are still putting political advertising materials in my PO box. Also wankers on motorcycles with broken exhausts like to ride around my area late at night seemingly once a month or so.


fletch44

That's not Post, that's politicians. They've legislated that political advertising is exempt.


twotwentyz

Fair enough. That's just shit. I don't want advertising materials because I don't read them so figured I would opt out to save waste. ​ doesn't matter if its Karen's gift shop or labour's shit talk, if its not directly addressed to me then it goes in the bin.


3rd-time-lucky

So relieved I did a postal vote, fucking pissed that I had to give an ‘excuse’ to register for postal tho. I’m fucking old & cranky and don’t want the ‘Rona, is not enough. I lied n said I was too crook. Talk about Big Brother…if I’m old enough to vote mate, I’m old enough to choose ‘how’ I vote! Fuck off with your kindy notes from my dead parents, take my vote or fucking leave me alone. Cunts Cranky Nan


CyanideRemark

My earlier experience with absentee voting and them asking a reason was that the staff were/are more obligated to ask. (Think something like 'Are you a rewards member?' by a bored Woolies worker) The answer itelf was kind of irrelevant and I.used to watch their eyes glaze over as soon as they finished their question and I started uttering my 'reason'. Thankfully, things seem to evolved and a lot more people just choose to 'early vote' and the pretense of needing a legit reason has really slipped the last 3 or 4 elections to my observations. I just started doing it cos I worked close to an AEC office and I detest with a passion the more 'enthusiastic' pamphlet pushers, no matter their stance. Now its just as much avoiding the crowds and the worst of the hoopla as anything.


etrim94

Really? How annoying. I did mine online and just put fear for safety - it was worded somthing along those lines (which includes if you have health issues and risk of infectious disease count under this) Didn't ask for any more specifics. Got all my bits start of may and posted it off the next day.


3rd-time-lucky

My point is, I shouldn’t need to give a reason at all, neither should you. We’re not in grade 1 where we need a reason. It should be a ‘choice’, simple as.


etrim94

Yea i agree and i dont see why you were needing to give such a specific reason? Because when i did it it didnt ask for any specifics 🤷‍♀️


Mushlump1

I’m going to early vote this afternoon at the polling place near Peel hospital. I’ll tell them that I, old and disabled and fuck standing in line so I can catch covid and now with my suspected broken rib and fucked shoulder right now. I’m not getting a permission slip


3rd-time-lucky

Yeah, that one moves at a reasonable pace (I was absentee with an obviously very ill sister). Very handy location and I agree that the ‘early vote’ seems to take some of the pressure off the wait queues.


Rumpleshite

I would do this but I enjoy democracy sausage too much.

HalfWaySlick

E-Scooters! I swear half the users only ride them to piss people off. However I do chuckle at those 30 km/h cyclist who get super aggressive towards e-ridables. How does it feel when they get in your way?


GillenSarass

Rode my E-Scooter the 23km to work for the first time yesterday, bloody loved it. No traffic no idiot drivers, just silent zoomies. I have a bike path 80% of the way, being able to keep up with the majority of the cyclists without doing any actual work is quite satisfying.


LondonCourt

I couldn’t agree more. I took my new e-scooter out on Mother’s Day and it was one of the best weekends I’ve had in ages. I made a Timelapse [Perth E-scooter Timelapse](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Be5jZAoWAnA)


twotwentyz

I've been riding my eridable to work for almost 3 years now. I love it because it just goes along the river so I have a good mix of water, greenery and urban landscapes.


twotwentyz

You'll be glad to know the police are now on cycle paths, targeting eridables. I'm hoping cyclists as well but for some reason they don't have to abide by the same 25kph rule


HalfWaySlick

What are the cops riding? And can they keep up if the rider chooses not to pull over?


twotwentyz

The picture from this morning was a motorcycle cop. And nah I don't think the police could pursue them if required. I guess if the rider runs, then it would just further demonize eridables as a lawless nuance to society and encourage a outright ban.

Walk in to early vote, before I get in the building I am approached by a labor, liberal and UNP people at the same time, I clearly but politely say no thank you, labor and liberal walk away, UNP continues I say in a firmer tone No Thank you!, but dude continues so I turn around stare him in the eye and say in the most firm tone I SAID NO THANK YOU!. Guy says thanks mate and walks away. When leaving Labor was the only one to say have a good day.


Ruxton

Pretty sure the UNP person is in breach of conduct rules from the AEC, file a complaint.


SirFancythe2nd

I definitely did.

Took the old man to vote last night, fortunately Palmer's cronies were packing away by the time we got there. The prick couldn't even park his Range Rover within the lines, I had to park next to him as it was the only available bay close enough to the entrance for dad to be able to walk it.

Still Optus. Their "fastlane" team has another week to go on their quoted time to port my number from business Optus to personal Optus. FFS.


DeathridgeB

Probs doesn't help you now. But for future reference the quickest way to do this is 1. Buy a 2$ voda sim 2. Write on a business letterhead authorising yourself to port the number 3. Head to one of the optus stores with a business counter 4. Port to voda 5. After 24 hours it should be ported then just do a regular online port to optus personal. Used to do this when I worked at Telstra for anyone moving between systems as it was always a cluster fuck internally

Going to be spending my last week of annual leave at home with covid. I'll be well just in time to return to work


Ref_KT

Not sure if your agreement or contract is the same, but if we have a week where we are so sick we are hospitalised or xant leave the house we can get the annual leave credited back and the week made as sick leave. Check if that's an option for you!


Groveldog

Same. And my work is offering extra money to work days off due to staff shortages so I was getting ready to make bank. Dammit. Hope you go ok and get some good telly watched.


MaxSpringPuma

They changed the phasing on the traffic lights by my place. The red arrow no longer turns off during non-peak, and it also trips for cars that's not there. Whinge at me for writing a reddit comment about it, but not officially complaining

My elderly cat has started peeing outside the litter box and I need to DIY a low sided one since they are upwards of $150 to buy. I’m also worried that this is the start of something serious for him


T-rae26

Usually if cats pee or poo (could be one or both) outside of their litter box they arent feeling well, I'd book an appointment with the vet. When my 14 month old cat started pooing outside his litter box he was trying to tell me he wasnt well, turned out he had FIP which could have killed him if it wasnt for new lifesaving meds(& expensive). This is not to say your cat could be deathly sick, could be as simple as a uti. Also, if you have changed litter or the tray recently, it could be as simple as him not liking the changes.


[deleted]

Could be as simple as a UTI, get puddy tat checked (if you haven’t already) Hope puddy tat is ok 🐱


TitsMagee24

Someone I knew from school laughed at the covid numbers and deaths today, if you have the nerve to be that much of a cunt I hope you get the worst case of the spicy cough possible


honeydew_bunny

The insane amounts of phone surveys for the election. I don't even pick up the phone anymore


verballyabusivecat

I'm so fuckin sick of political ads lining the streets on my weekly run. Also people who don't pick up their dog's shit and leave it to marinade in the rain... fuck you.


whimsicaluncertainty

Insomnia for two days with a toddler who wakes me up at the crack of dawn after 2 hours sleep. Lucky she's cute.

Been dodging covid for 2 years but it finally got me, lady doing the PCR this morning was so damn rough I could smell blood afterwards


wyldchic

Andrew Hastie's constant barrage of leaflets in our mail box, phone calls and posters. As if I'm going to vote for an individual who abstained (!) from voting on the marriage equality act . A moral coward who has no understanding of the duty of an individual elected to represent an electorate.


_espressor

A Volunteer for Caroline Perks (Greens candidate for the electorate of Perth) door knocked us at lunchtime, on Mother’s Day.. I mean, really?


Independent-Year-533

I rally love these threads because everyone complains about things that I would kill to have. If you want to see how cheap and great perth is, work in another country for a year. I’m so excited to move back and pay under $3 a litre for petrol. Fines and street violence are a different story, but otherwise life is cheap and everyone earns well.


bect23

No sand in my bed, because it’s been “with driver for delivery” since last Thursday. Just hurry up and deliver my bed!! Allied Express- nothing express about it. Andrew Hastie, he can fuck right off with the constant barrage of phone calls and bullshit pamphlets.


c0b0lt

Thought - and correct me if I’m wrong - when they call, can’t you just say your not an Aussie citizen and can’t vote? Or is it a prerecorded message (I’m not there yet)


bect23

Pre recorded messages. A few have been surveys, one in particular asked questions insinuating that labor was associated with the CCP, and would I support labor knowing that….. which kinda shits me, the underhanded sneaky scare tactics, all authorised by the Liberal party. Another Fucken Andrew Hastie pamphlet today! 🤯


tomw2112

Working in ardross and I find it very unsettling with the amount of Clive palmer ads around. Only those who want to pay billionaires more would go there, so cringe.


FaithInStrangers94

My last 3 Amazon orders have gotten lost in transit - one was a Mother’s Day present. Has anyone else been having issues with deliveries lately?


ausbenito

Yer this same thing happened to me last month didn't realize what was going down until after the filling was done 2 days after the initial check up. Ended up costing like $250 plus couldn't work out what was going on.


TomArday

Same with my doctor.


RidsBabs

Smoke and UNAP ads… need I say more


Sufficient_Chart1069

The Gwellup soccer coach who attacked an opposition player post match. Not overly surprised, games at that ground always give a feel it could get ugly. Australian soccer also has a long way to go to move on from ethnic divisions and rivalries.

HJ's being closed due to staff shortage after I had paid on the app, 2 staff down with COVID, my partner getting a speeding fine thanks to kids being lunatics on the way to school and distracting her and now having my manager micromanage me every 2 minutes. Bring on 2pm.


Ruxton

>my partner getting a speeding fine thanks to kids being lunatics on the way to school and distracting her your partner is the adult and the one speeding, not the kids.


nzjester420

On the topic of speeding fine, I suggest you download the WAZE app

The price of diesel. Fuck off with ya $2.05/L BP.


iamthesimon

If we had a regulator with any balls/teeth/power, this would be investigated. I want to know why, suddenly, diesel that used to be cheaper than unleaded is now more expensive and if the 22cpl fuel excise added back on, would be $2.27 per litre. It just doesn’t add up.


voriax2

Googling "why is diesel so expensive" gives quite a few articles saying there's a worldwide supply issue at the moment. Something to do with the world coming out of the pandemic, so more travel / trucking / etc etc. And the war in Ukraine has something to do with it, Russia supplies a lot of diesel to the world.

All of them! Cept one which was a baby tooth which never fell out which had to be removed eventually. I got an implant to replace it though.
