Mega Thread What really grinds my gears.

I hate how far recycling has gone. Our council recently sent out a notice that contaminated packaging won't be accepted - meaning stuff with food still on it. So now my wife makes us dishwasher all plastics before we throw them out. Why.

The waste of water and electricity seems to out way the clean rubbish for me.

Then it ends up in landfill.

Yep, really annoying. Especially considering how much we all pay in rates. I guess my ****ing rates are going towards more yellow and black shit for the town hall and refusing to acknowledge Australia Day, and ****ing suspending me in Year 12.

I hate the council.
City of Casey just spent a fortune building a monument to how much they get in rates ( New council buildings ). It seriously dominates the landscape when you drive past. The old one probably wasn't luxurious enough.

I have documented evidence that the people on the council are campaigners.

The flogs have been going to the government to get the rates hiked more than inflation.
Going down pound rd towards Narre Warren it looks like a UFO has landed.
The mayor is a dead set flog to boot.

Had to stop in Bayswater for fuel yesterday. Makes Ringwood look like Toorak.

Where the **** do these people come from? Why are they allowed to vote? I assume there are enclaves of them in the greater Geelong area. FMD.

Yes they claim that they need more because of the growth.
Flogs.
Every time they mow down an old house to cram in a dozen "townhouses" they get a massive influx of rates.
Every townhouse has to have "A" parking spot of course. This is called town planning.

If there is not enough infrastructure for all this development MAKE THE FREAKIN DEVELOPERS PAY!!!.
If freaking fountain gate wants to get bigger MAKE THEM PAY FOR BETTER ROAD SYSTEMS AROUND IT !!!

Hi growth means you get more rates every year from all the noobs. Why do you need to put mine up as well. I don't even have a bloody footpath.

They say they don't need to raise the rates becasue of the Taj Mahal they built. Well maybe thats why you don't have the money for the other stuff you want you campaigners. ( i love how i can call them that , and its literal ).
When they have bloody elections its like trying to decide whether to vote for Kang or Kodos.

YOU GRIND MY GEARS CITY OF CASEY!!!!!!

I don't, it was just for a bullshit reason, and seeing our Vice Prin now as my Mayor really grinds my gears.

You can bet the old council offices will be knocked down and sold to Westfield.
You can tell which side of the fence theyre on. The were about the only council to support east west link despite stuff all people from our area would use it.

All too true I'm afraid.
We sadly have our share of disgusting beer swilling plebs. They are constantly polluting the serenity of the area by pumping out heavy metal from their petrol guzzlers.

I don't understand why deathevocation didn't feel at home.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Someone who has kept their old 1960's V8 has probably contributed less to environmental warming than someone who is on their third Prius.
It grinds my gears that people don't realise making stuff and chucking it away is bad for the environment.
How many Iphones have been chucked away, yet every card carrying greens member would have one.

I just presume that as a 48% he and his pug are more accustomed to pausing their oBike ride at a Chapel st cafe to refuel with a naughty double shot soy moccha latte.

Did you know he moonlights as Half Cat.

True story.

Will run that bet again for Easter Monday 2018. One month avatar. Might get me more involved in here.

Along with all the paper after the now regular 'accidental fire'

His FAT has actually funded the terrorists.

It grins my gears that this crap is on a "News" website.
http://www.news.com.au/travel/trave...l/news-story/6d19e3243ecfbab22ec44114d973b84e

Don't let the name fool you, that's not a news website.

Why are 14 year olds walking around for lollies?

When I was 14, we were walking around drinking and smoking.

Today's youf are ******.

Munchies?

Speaking of, today's boys are little bitches. When I was that age I'd never dob on my mates, I'd always get out for sport and I thought tattoos were badass. My class today all snitch on each other, want to go to the library instead of the oval and think tattoos are gross. I weep for a generation of little princessy campaigners and the girls who don't have better options.

So is the less sport with this generation actually a thing? Anecdotally it seems to be the case, but it's hard to tell for sure. If so, it's no wonder obesity is rife when kids spend their free time drinking f***ing mother and watching some other campaigner play a video game on twitch.

Have you seen that ****en drone on the Princes bridge who is all silver in a space suit doing super loud digital beats? **** me I want to shank that campaigner

Leave the Spaceman alone!

I get shitted off at idiots trying to find hi tech solutions to moronic truck drivers taking out their bridge in south Melbourne.
You put 2 steel posts in the ground and a girder across an inch lower than the bridge.
Then when they hit it you kick them in the ass a lot and don't let them drive trucks again.

Montague Street again?

Agree with this though, if you haven't figured out that you can't make it under that bridge, then you're not qualified to drive a f***ing truck.

Yeah, phones and shit means boys don't need sport to socialise. Way less casual/social sport than my day.

It's like those dipshits that get their car flooded over in that one dippy bridge underpass in Melbourne... That one on York St South Melbourne near the market that dips under the tram bridge. Every ****en time it flash floods that dip goes 5ft underwater in a second and there's always some dumb campaigner that tries his luck to drive through it.

The news photographers must just set off for that spot at the first hint of heavy rain

Apart from a day in st kinda I have seen ONE o-bike in use.

I’ve seen dozens left in the same place for weeks.

In all the discussion about them recently, no one mentions they never get used

Their target market is Hawforn supporters but they made a massive mistake when they put seats on the bikes.

You grind my gears.

Also the bikes are a good size for your average Singaporean not here. Pathetic market research is it a tax dodge or what?


Ps we all drive Audi’s now

Went and did a few laps of Albert Park Lake and saw 3 in use. Used by the fish as artificial reefs

To qualify to drive a truck you just have to be able to breathe through your mouth.

Truck drivers grind my gears. **** those campaigners.

 

[Dinsdale]

HR, bunch of campaigners. I was on-call over xmas/ny, now HR say they wont pay me the on-call allowance as I was on leave - seriously considering throwing the on-call phone in the dunny.
