- I try out expensive guitars in music shops when i have filthy hands, and I invariably break a string and I chuckle nervously

- I go into pubs and order glasses of milk

- I watch for someone to enter a public toilet and then go in there and shout 'we're cleaning now you have 2 minutes to evacuate the site'

- I sit on public transport dressed as an emo and read 'Better Homes and Gardens' magazine

- I hide eggs underneath peoples' car seat covers

- I order a burger from mcdonalds and purposely minus off every ingredient leaving just the bun and the mayo and then argue about the price

- I ride a bicycle while I am dressed in lycra and I only feel like doing this when the tour down under is in town.
 
Cleaning out the spare room and found active directional sonar unit. (fancy wording just means it sends out a sound wave in a repetitive cycle)

Just spent the last hour using it to randomly set off the neighbours car alarm.

Commissioner Gordon - i found Batman for you

It's not all that fancy, it's supposed to be used for mapping underwater caves bought it years ago when I was helping put together a security system for a R&D mob in Melbourne

They wanted motion sensors, but standard infrared equipment couldn't be used and motion cameras were out of their price range.

The idea was to implement this unit with a receiver that could detect changes in the returning signal, Never did get it to work reliable.

But the cool part is if you dial it up and point it at a window with very very sensitive vibration alarms you can set them off.

What exactly were you retaliating against?

I seriously didn't even know anybody moved their car before paying at the servo. I've never seen it.

The scenario I quoted was a little different to mine. A lady took off from the front pump and this bloke decided to take pump 2 instead of taking the front one. So I went around him and reversed back into pump 1. He got annoyed and expected me to wait in line behind him, despite the front pump being free.
 
It's opposite in rural WA, they are moving towards unmanned stations in these tiny towns.

Reason is that the Feds introduced much stricter regulations on underground fuel tanks, have to get them tested every year etc and it has made it pretty uneconomical to run them. Was chattin to the bird who runs the roadhouse out at Bruce Rock a while ago and she said they made probably $14k-$15k profit a year selling fuel and the testing/certification was going to cost them $12k per year so they decided to stop selling fuel. They still offer food, general store stuff and accommodation but not fuel.

The unmanned ones are run by a bulk fuel company, don't require any staffing costs and can operate 24hrs at no extra cost (which is great if you're like me and get to Upper Goatgooseup at 6pm and the only servo has closed, or its a Sunday, or if you're in Three Springs between 2pm and 5pm) so it's pretty much a win-win situation for most.

That said, I always buy from a proper roadhouse if that option is available, support the little guy.
Yeah we finally got a petrol station in Wandering this year. Unmanned 24/7 fuel and it's often cheaper than the city so can't complain.
 
Yeah Merredin being on the Great Eastern Highway picks up a fair bit of passing traffic, as well as a decent base of locals (population ~2800).

Places like Bruce Rock (pop 500) which have no real through traffic would probably be better off. The roadhouse at Pingrup (pop 270) is on its last legs and I wouldn't be surprised if when the current owners retire/die it gets replaced by an unmanned site.

Wandering (pop 350) just had a new unammed site open after there was no fuel available there for years.
Haha didn't see you mention it before my last post. Trust me it was the biggest day in wandering for a long time. :p
 
When I see motorbikes coming up the middle I turn my car as far in as I can so they can't come up the middle. If I have to wait in Perth traffic then guess what mate.......you are to
