Things that sh*t me the seventeenth

[phantom13]

This could be sensitive and harsh, but I am in a private group for my housing estate. A lady has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and her husband has started a gofund me to cover their losses while in treatment. Is it normal to ask people to donate and pretty much pay for your loan while treatment occurs, my sister in law was diagnosed last year and never once was it mentioned to start anything like that.

These people have set a 100k goal and are already at $8k after a day. Stalked his profile and he has a $100k landcruiser ute and multiple toys.

Every second news story has a gofund me now.

This is gonna be INCREDIBLY harsh but the ones I truly don’t get are when someone has lost a child and then have a gofund me.

You’ve just lost a dependent. Taking the emotion out of it financially you are better off, why do you need a gofund me at all. I suppose maybe funeral costs but if you’re that adamant on a funeral opposed to donation of organs etc with a wake at a pub or house which will cost you nothing then SURELY family and friends can chip in.

I get (with varying degrees of agreeance) if a family loses a primary breadwinner/illness treatments etc. but I can’t reconcile with needing money when you’ve just saved money.

I’ve got a key rack, decided it was the perfect place to hang all the lanyards from memberships over the years!!!

Throw in the freebies from gyms, random show bag stuffers, Lions school visits, Broncos school visits...

A thousand years in the future archaeologists will be puzzling over this lanyard-based economy that sprang up in the early 21st century.

I couldn't find my car keys last night. I for God knows what reason put them in my work bag.

A place I never put them ever.

I'm blaming reading this thread

Honestly one of the only cleaning products that actually works as advertised.

As far as windshield stickers goes I used to just use a razor blade when you had to replace the rego stickers every year but I guess you would need to be careful if it was tinted. Then you could get the sticky residue off with that stuff if you want.

Getting silent treatment now.

I have never understood how women think that is a punishment.

She needs me to cover a few days when she goes to Vegas in February. She’ll give me some compliment a few days before and then remind me. A few weeks of peace will be nice!

When my brother lost his son, it actually cost them a bomb (funeral costs, loss of income because they couldn’t work for months etc). I can see how people would need a very quick cash injection in such circumstances.

When my gf went thru daily radiotherapy after getting cancer, the best thing people did was arrange for meals for us as we (me) was so time poor as we had to drive daily 50mins each way for treatment at GC hospital. I was still working full time. Looking back i have no idea how i did it.
We were lucky we could drop to one income for the year or so we had to. But some people cant.
I dont have an issue with people asking. No obligation on anyone to contribute afterall.

I recently joined Meal Train for this very reason. A family needed meal support while attending a coronial enquiry for their son.

Sometimes we don’t see the underlying costs in some situations that can impact on family budgets when the unexpected occurs

checked the cameras and saw 2 kids run onto my property, kick the inflatables and run off

Oh, I'm good. Alright. I'll rant about it. Haha.

We have a Monday to Monday schedule. She's off with her boyfriend a few hours away. Doesn't want to leave early to pick them up so assumed I'd be good having them until 12pm or so. I'm going to work and told her I'll drop them at her place at 8am. She went off saying "it's sad that my work isn't flexible but I feel even sadder for the boys being alone for a few hours before Christmas". Lol. How about not seeing they're Dad at Christmas? That's a little sad for them.

She said "I don't want to start a fight but you're not sticking to the separation agreement". Umm. I am. It say's Monday to Monday. Nothing about the time. They're fine. Have been ok for a few hours on their own many times.

She's just had complaints from a neighbour about noise sometimes so doesn't want them at her place. If they were staying alone for a bit at mine she wouldn't care. Getting silent treatment now.

She sounds like a manipulative bitch

The ex at Christmas time. Why be petty??

Because it is a time of strong emotions and memories of happier times, being petty is probably a coping mechanism.

I'm OK this Christmas but last year was fraught. I wasn't petty, but I was caught up in my own misery.

 

[raskolnikov]

Yeah. I'm sure parents who have just lost a child aren't thinking about how much money they're going to save.

If your looking for Sun glasses.

I didn’t say they would. I was simply pointing out that financially they shouldn’t need to start a go fund me.

I also (much like Billy ray ) have absolutely no issue with them asking for it.

One Christmas my mum gave me a key hook so I would know where my keys are. It's hanging up but I've never used it.

I’ve got a key rack, decided it was the perfect place to hang all the lanyards from memberships over the years!!!

I've always loved dragons, and one an overseas holiday my brother bought me a dragon shaped key rack - it currently sits was a decorative piece on a cupboard, but that lanyard mention gives me an idea of how I can use it

 

[Gralin]

Also white goods and tv’s even i have seen

TVs make no sense it's over part of the screen

My fridge and washing machine definitely still have the stickers on them though

Mosquito bites in summer

I must remember to buy a ton of Aeroguard and splash myself with the stuff (inside and out, I live with a few other house mates and those pests always a way in, the Mozzies not my friends lol)

Walked all over the joint only for them to be on the bonce

I'm okay with it in most situations but I don't like it when he has almost 200k worth of things He could sell first. (not the house)

Get rid of the ute buy a small cheaper car. get rid of the jet skis, campervan etc.

In the Adelaide CBD, a few days ago some absolute joker put up posters asking for GoFundMe donations for their small fluffy dog. The story goes that it was attacked by another dog and needs hip surgery, and that will cost about $20,000 to $40,000.

1. Get a grip.
2. Hurry up and put the poor dog out of its misery instead of spending that time typing up a poster and going to the city to put it up.
3. People out there can't afford groceries or are homeless, and you want $40,000 for your ****ing dog?
4. The campaigner will live for another fifteen years at best - is 40 grand really worth it? I've been in that situation before - you have to let go!
5. How do I know this story isn't made up?
6. Is that really what they charge these days for dog trauma surgery? If the poor bugger is that severely injured, keeping it alive is cruel.
