Mega Thread Things that Shit me the Thirteenth

[Over The Post]

Seems like food you'd have in your lunchbox when your 14 years old.

If only. I had jam and cheese. Cheese and jam. Peanut butter sometimes. And when we ran out of jam, I had cheese. When we ran out of cheese I had jam.

There was a German kid at school, recently arrived from darkest Europe, who had these wonderful salad sandwiches on thick dark bread, filled with beetroot and tomato and cucumber and pickles and meats. He hated them and gladly swapped for cheese and jam, a luxury combo not heard of in Germany.

Strange but true: I went to school with him in outback Queensland for about five months before moving. 43 years later he pops up on a Vietnamese facebook page, we'd hired motorbikes from the same guy in Hanoi a couple of months apart.

Why do I get the impression that you went to school with Augustus Gloop?

 

[Over The Post]

Wrong impression. He was tall, solid, blue-eyed blonde. Thirty years earlier he'd have been selected for Aryan breeding stock.

When did pets become kids anyway?

I've had 3 dogs in my lifetime and I was never a "Dad" to any, nor was a mum/sister/partner "Mum" to one.

Dog looks at me like he wants my food, because he's a dog. Someone else: "awww dad he wants some". Errr what? I'm his owner, master or best friend. Those are the choices for human/dog relationship. I like dogs more than kids too.

Surely its just a women without kids sort of situation?

Nope, it's just a moron situation

I feel bad that I haven't had as much time to spend with my dogs since having an actual kid. They are members of the family with feelings too.

I see this a lot. It usually begins with a couple who don't have kids yet. They post pictures and video's about their dogs and basically treat them as kids. Then 4 years down the track they finally have a kid and its as if the dog doesn't exist anymore - disappeared, gone, no more dog posts.

I have a mate and they cant have kids. They recently got a dog and post everything about it, the dog even has its own instagram account and pictures have quotes from the dog as if he writing it. Fills a whole I guess but to me no need to treat a dog as though its your kid or a human etc.

For some people, a pet is the one thing between them and suicide.

But that doesn't fit in with the judgmental and dismissive vibe. Carry on.

Anyone seen the new Pet Cemetery movie?

I treat my greyhound like a baby, and I don't care what anyone says about it.

Those mini-trailers that every second film seems have at the start of its full length trailer these days.

Apparently it's got something to do with mobile advertising, but I don't care - they're stupid and ****ing annoying.

I'm entered in a two day CrossFit competition on the weekend. It's a mixed pairs competition and I only entered because my partner talked me into it. Paid the competition fee and arranged the accommodation. Now she's pulled out. Grrr.

I have to catch a bus to work tomorrow.
Only a 15 hour trip FML.

Hungry Jacks coupons with 15-20 deals are gone, kaput, the only 4 deals you can now get are by using their app and either showing the barcode in store or else ordering by phone.

Sorry corporate droids, you're meant to make it easy for customers to buy, not make customers jump through hoops to make it easier to mine data from them. You can FRO, it's pizza for tea now.

So she's found a substitute. Not as good as she is so I've given up hope of placing but at least I still get to participate.

'The first rule of Crossfit - tell everyone you are doing crossfit'

Tell her you're heading off to do it and go on a 2 day bender.

So she's arranged for you to be out of the picture for the weekend and has hooked up a mate to keep an eye on you. Hmm.

Rasko is either losing his kidneys or partaking in an orgy imo

Just to be clear. She was only my partner for the competition. Not my life partner. I don't swing that way.

Pets are amazing.

Give me a dog over a human any day of the week.

But the fact remains, my dog is not my child. People who say 'I'm his/her daddy/mummy' are cringeworthy.

Dog is probably dreaming about sniffing other dogs asses, licking its own boner, chasing the postman
