Society & Culture Things That Shit Me( Part 5)

[jacqui9]

Just the cost of living in general.

Went and purchased groceries during my lunch hour. I purchased my fruit and veg at the grocer, milk and some chicken and some nice biscuits just for a bit of a treat at Coles. All came to over $50.00.

On top of that I have $400 worth of uni text books and TAFE fees to fork out for within the next month.

Then of course medication for a heart condition which is not subsidised.

Everything is just so expensive.

Guess I shouldnt bitch though. My family in the UK are paying $2.86 (Australian) per litre for petrol.

yeh thanks dude i know what the watergate scandal is
but what i was saying is the newspapers add -gate now as a suffix;
it doesn't make sense because it was watergate, not water-gate

but anyway back to thread topic, people who say or write 'verse' as in 'when do we verse carlton next?' - i believe it is derived from the word versus, which isn't a verb

Yep, fair call.

The fact that in the space of a week I got incredibly sunburnt, was in a car crash which has done something weird to my neck (as well as writing off my car) and got a black eye through sport. And that next week I have to get my wisdom teeth out to compound it all.

Im sunburnt too. I spend a ****ing week at Apollo bay- rains everyday, then the sun comes out and i turn into a *******, like i havent seen the sun and got lax with the sunscreen. My shoulders and back are sore.


Not involved in a car accident tho! That sucks. And have already had my WT out- its not too bad, dw.

And get aloe vera spray for your sunburn. Helps alot.

I agree that the cost of living is getting ridiculous but you're shooting yourself in the foot buying fruit and vegetables from one of the duopolies.

I buy from the Queen Vic markets and the savings are really quite amazing. It's worth heading in once a week or once a fortnight and just loading up.

 

[Jesse Custer]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but i hate it when people spit on you accidently whilst talking to you. I've got a couple of dudes at work who do it. And especially at a nightclub when the music is loud and to speak to someone you have to lean in so you can hear them and you end up having a shower. I really ****ing hate that.

 

[kidgorgeous]

Channel 7.

Fingers crossed they don't f*** up their Aus Open coverage as much as they normally do.

Already have. Settle in for a day of tennis and the over-excited presenter spouts 'Australia unite!' as there is a lot of Aussies on the box today. Turned over right then.

You should count yourself lucky you can get fruit and veg at the moment. The shelves in my part of the world are fairly lean due to roads closed (flooded) though the big 3 did manage to get a ship up here loaded with essentials. Went to my supermarket yesterday and not a lettuce or green leaf salad item in sight. The fruit was iffy but spuds and stuff like that were not too shabby. I'm lucky I guess that I have a roof over my head and my health so will just grin and bear it. Don't ask me how but the pubs have plenty of booze, must have stocked up for Xmas and New Year.

It's going to get more costly in the next week or so be prepared. Frozen veg and canned fruit maybe the go.

My mouth shits me. I had a palate widener for 2 years, a thing to bring my jaw forward, braces for 3.5 years, all four wisdom teeth removed.
Oh, and now I'm left with a gummy smile due to either a slight alergy to the metal, or because of how I breathe through my mouth because my lips only meet when I consciously think about putting them together.

I went to see a cosmetic surgeon about my gums to get them shapened. He said that I should probably get my jaw done while we're at it because I have an abnormally long length of gum from the top of my teeth to where gum meets lip.


People who were born with perfect teeth really should appreciate how lucky they are

 

[Lazarus]

Never had braces. u mad?

[chirpymagpie]

[TheStinger]

Spending half an hour working on a solution to a printing problem we were having at work and finding a quite ingenious (if I do say so myself) way around the problem and then have the boss come up and ask if I had fixed it and me going into the story of my heroic triumph only for my boss to say...

"Yeah yeah yeah, that's great. Will it print the cart note from the bottom drawer now."

"Yes."

"That's all I need to know." And walked away.

All that brilliance dismissed in a second.

Actually, he is just computer illiterate and has no time for techy talk and the like. But still, a little recognition of my work would've been nice.

People that jay walk at traffic lights and interrupt the traffic in doing so, as well as people that push the walk button, but have every intention of jay walking, stopping the traffic for no reason.

Today while driving with my girlfriend, we came to an intersection. Waiting at the red light, the walk light adjacent to us was green. When it turned red, an old woman proceeded to start to walk across the road. VERY slowly. When the green arrow turned on for us to go, me and my girlfriend being about 4th in line, waited until everyone started to move. When we ended up in the middle of the intersection, some moron stopped to let the old woman keep walking, again, VERY slowly. This left us in the middle of the intersection, when the light went red. So then we had a bunch of cars honking at us, as well as the 2 people in front of us, to move. All because this dumb arse old woman decided to walk.

On a similar note, old people have been pissing me off a lot lately. They just think they can do whatever they want.
The other day I went into a local fish and chip shop to buy a bottle of coke. When I went up to the counter, some old guy who came in just after me who also got a drink, just casually stepped up next to me and made the woman serving come to him. He then proceeded to pay the amount in small coins.

 

[Lazarus]

Agreed- old people are annoying, just die already

Bad curries.

 

[carltonblue]

Bad curries.

Eating curries is so un-australian.

 

[Jesse Custer]

Eating curries is so un-australian.

Not to mention they bloody stink.

 

[La Di Da]

Curries are awesome you jerks.

 

[blues4flag]

Indian curries are great.

 

[dales.girl38]

My dad is Indian, I get curries a lot. He's a good cook so it's not too bad.

Not much bothering me today, except the persistent headaches I'm getting despite drinking heaps of water.

 

[Sir Eddie Menuek]

Weddings.

Its good if their is hot bridesmaids and hotties in general there but old people dancing and gossiping, its the biggest borefest.

 

[Schulzenfest]

When something shat me today and I thought of this thread, and now I can't remember what it was.
