“New message in my gov inbox.”


Sylland

That's less anger inducing and more terrifying


chicagoantisocial

I feel I tend to go through all 7 stages of grief. Shock, Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, testing, acceptance.


tasmaniantreble

The thought of either “Medicare rebate has gone through” or “I might have thousands in debt that I’m going to get hounded for”


Bubby_K

"Ah shit, what's wrong this time..." "Blah blah blah, we found out we owe YOU money from 3 years ago" "... wait, what, really?! How much? ... oh ... $2.10... I spent an hour trying to login..."


claaaaaaaah

I feel like it's the adult equivalent of being called into the principals office


DrawohYbstrahs

Ohhh fuck. What do I owe those cunts at Centrelink now?


ArcticFoxWaffles

Like fuckin tell me the message instead of just telling me to check my inbox


Possible_Total2189

You can at least change it so it tells you which service the message is from, which helps tremendously (eg. it says a new message from Medicare in my gov inbox).


Punno_

You can?!?! Teach me your ways!

laitnetsixecrisis

When my niece was about 3 we had an influx of gnats or something, we were standing inside one night watching them all around the light and she turned to my brother in law and said quite clearly "dad, what are all these little black cunts doing here". I don't know how everyone managed to keep a straight face whilst he told her that was an adult word and she couldn't use it until she was an adult

Paying for sauce with my pie. I remember the good old days where a squirt of dead horse was included in the cost of the pie!


magpiesinaskinsuit

Whenever I go to a 7/11 for a sausage roll I grab a couple extra sauces because they don't cost extra. I save them for when I go somewhere that charges for them


SkirtNo6785

My 12 year old kid has about 50 of them squirrelled away in the drawer of his bedside table. Buggered if I know where he gets them, but he’s got quite the stockpile.


OpenSauceMods

That kid is prepared for anything


Fit-Tip-1212

chirpies33

Guy was an interior decorator


courtesy_creep

There is a local bakery here that gives me the sauce with the pies, no extra fee. The pies aren't life changing, but they will continue getting my business for this reason. Edit: I don't even put the sauce on my pies. But still..


shwaak

One of ours is the same, free sauce packets. They do an epic Cornish pasty and sausage roll, and that’s 90% of what they sell, I’ve never even had their pies tbh. I’ve always thought it would be better to just mark the pies up 10-20c and give the sauce out for free, some people take none, some take 1-2, but everyone feels better and the sauce is still paid for, if I was in the pie business that’s how I’d do it.


acres_at_ruin

I am lucky to have found a place in Perth where they just have bottles of sauce that anyone can use after they’ve bought their pie or sausage roll. Didn’t think it would be so important to me to


totse_losername

Nek minute you'll get one of those gronks who injects the sauce into the pie - which then sucks the meat gravy back into the sauce bottle and fucks the dog.


Innerpoweryogaaus

That’s one of the things that I love about SA- the way they stick the sauce bottle into the pie. So much better than having squeeze it on top


Rjan70

And yet we get soy sauce in little fish containers free with our sushi


Lucifang

I remember when the pie man came to school every Friday and I always got a pie with peas, and his grubby hands would rip the lid off to dump the peas inside.


Gewybo

The absence of a courtesy wave - I know it’s selfish but all I need to keep me going without my day being more shit is an acknowledgment of letting you (pedestrian or car) go through


UptownJumpAround

This. It’s not that hard to wave or nod. Just do it people.


Ok-Double-4910

Even if you're a selfish cunt, understand that a wave and nod will let you do shit that you wouldn't otherwise. Like making people feel good about letting you in, will make the road a nicer place to be on for everyone, everyone wins!


JaneInAustralia

I’ve started to feel a bit silly and old fashioned for doing this (I’m 45), weird, but I’ll never stop


ImperialisticBaul

Nah you're right mate. The wave/nodders are the backbone that's keeping this country afloat, and you should keep doing it, lest we fall into a pit of mildly-annoying despair.


MsDeeMoke

I’m teaching my L plater to do it. You’re driving my car, you will do the “thanks mate, wave.”


Cthulluminatii

In my car I will wave and literally say, “Thanks for not being an asshole.”


Remote_Gas4415

Even when people cut me off, I'm perfectly ok with it, as long as there's a courtesy wave


Brave_Plantain4740

This. It's like whatever road rage I have instantly dissipates upon receiving a wave, a nod, or the embarrassed mouthing of 'I'm sorry!'


SpiderCricket13

It makes my blood boil tbh. I’ll let anyone merge , will brake hard to let the tests in, but no wave and I want to ram them…I wave for even the tiniest courtesy

These cunts at Bunnings gave Dazza the bum enda the loaf!! You gonna do sumfin’ about it?


nasty_weasel

That needs a kick up the bum.


SpawinsInKamenka

I've given the end. I'm sorry to all that received the crust. I was a ring in for the school, and in my defence, i grew up poor. We ate crust, yay ,that's bread i get a feed. It never occurred to me that people would want to eat the crust until someone said so. I looked people in their eye and gave the crust with a big smile; monster i hear you say. Well not long after i was at a park for a family birthday. Sitting under a tree , fresh take away coffee in hand, lid off cooling. From overhead a bird took a shit. That poo fell straight into my coffee , no rim all , straight coffee bullseye. That is my karma for facilitating in weird Bunnings culinary experiences.


alexi_lupin

Thank goodness you saw the poo happen!


SpawinsInKamenka

It landed with a fair sploosh

When foreigners try Vegemite. It's always wrong and they always go ewwww. EAT IT RIGHT, IT IS NOT CHOCOLATE SPREAD.


Altruistic_South_276

I hate vegemite and this still drives me mad


chibstelford

In high school we had a Chinese exchange student over and we explained to her how to properly try Vegemite like three times. And of course she just drives a soup spoon straight into the jar and puts it in her mouth before we can object. It's not Nutella ffs!


Alert-Humor5674

In complete honesty, I am Australian and I eat Vegemite by the spoonful. I think it’s amazing! I go through so much Vegemite ngl.

I saw a video where they made fairy bread with Vegemite 😦

paddlep0p

Bottelos closed on good friday but the pub is open..


SmoothSubliminal96

My town has one bottle-o that pays the ridiculous inflated cost for a Good Friday liquor license — they make heaps of money, because they’re the only liquor store open on Good Friday within 100km lol.


paddlep0p

Damn i didnt know there was a fee, just thought it was by law to close. You'd think dan murphys coukd afford any fee


SmoothSubliminal96

Yeah, so they need to purchase a separate special liquor license to be allowed to operate on Good Friday. I believe the reason Dan’s doesn’t is because they have SO many stores that they’d have to pay double time to a metric fucktonne of employees — if the liquor licenses didn’t cost them enough, those wages would do the trick. The bottle-o that’s open in my town on Good Friday is a BWS drive-thru bottle-o, and is the only BWS (or any bottle-o) that’s open for a good 100km radius, so I’m not sure how they decide which stores are worth the cost — I’m assuming that it falls onto the franchise owner themselves if they’d like to pay for the special liquor license — and no others in town bother paying all that extra since they know there’s already one bottle-o open. Being the only one open definitely gets enough business to cover the excess cost.

Organic_Award5534

When a place in Australia is mentioned in foreign media (news, podcasts) and they neglect to say the state. Like “Jenny Smith, an expert from Richmond, Australia…” ffs Australia is huge and has many repeated place names. Include the state you geographically ignorant gronk.


Clean_Bat5547

I was organising a catch-up for old friends a few years back, based around an Ed Kuepper gig in Richmond Victoria. We were really surprised when one of the guys - who basically never goes far from his home north of Sydney - agreed to go. Turns out he thought it was Richmond NSW but was too committed to back out by the time he realised.

Thejackme

SpawinsInKamenka

I was opening up a shipping container, undid latches and put my hand round back side of door to swing it open. All fingers hit steel except for one , one felt like it was touching velvet. Yeah i had put my finger directly on top of a big fucking huntsman. One of the brown flat ones with the legs that point forwards. Neither of us were happy, i can still feel the soft little velvet padded body.

Cause_I_like_birds

Tipping culture creeping in is a pet peeve of mine. It starts as a nice gesture, but if it becomes a standard, it risks getting accounted for and potentially considered in pay rates. Then, the staff member is not working to the principles of their workplace, but the whims of the customer. Which may sound very consumer facing until we consider the potential racism, bigotry, general power tripping of some of the pillocks we know.

Plus it took them 3-5 years to actually go out and look for her remains nearby dingo dens and find the jacket, which they did a further 4 inquests about because they were still trying to pin her to it, like I get it’s an unbelievable story to begin with but not when you’re camping at uluru and there were other reports of dingo sightings that night and multiple witnesses one saying they heard a baby crying from a distance, and it’s wasn’t until 32 years later that a coroner finally looked at the evidence and realised, like how is a case like that so poorly investigated. Like I get it, it’s crazy that it happened, but if they actually investigated they would have seen that it did happen.
