Grumpy Old Man

@chimoaus I live in the land of queuing, you'd be astonished how many times the person at the front is standing there fucken gormless when it's their turn. Then they get to the counter and dig around for their wallet for 5 minutes...oh what a surprise I have to pay.

Have we done queues yet? Any queue, all queues. Fuck queues.
Speaking of queues, when I first moved to Australia, I found it odd that the person at the counter would always say "next please". I'm thinking do Australians not know how the fuck a queue works, I can clearly see when it is my turn, I don't need to be told.
Its the same with the checkout chick/dude who scans your last item the says "will that be all"?
Oh, actually, now that you mention it, maybe I'll duck back to isle 7 and grab another 6 pack of bog paper.
They're asking if you want cigarettes which are hidden storage, so that's not so bad. Or cash back

@Victor-Meldrew that's the one. Did a urine test as well just for fun.
For a general test I had to supply samples of semen, urine and pooh. “Fuck it” says Mrs Cato, “just send them a pair of your pants”.
-
@Catogrande at least she didn't say a pair of hers.
Btw kiwi forum means pants are longs...
-
Drivers who accelerate to overtake a lorry and then slow right down as they go past said lorry meaning you can't pass.
What the fuck are they doing? Counting the wheel nuts?

I've been caught there before. Standing at a check in queue in Oz, and the person in front left ... so moved forward, and the person at the counter looked at me and said "did I call you forwards? Back you go".
Glad she enjoyed her little power trip on her minimum wage job.

Move to Norway. Those fuckers don't queue for anything. It's a freaking free for all.

Or he HK barge right through then claim to have not seen the queue ... always a fave time to watch an expat lose it as it happens for the 450th time that day.

Fuck queue too

Rats. Clearing stuff in the barn and one of the little bastards ran at me.
Hate the fuckers.

@Victor-Meldrew we had some living in our ceiling over winter.
I put our security cam up there and caught them eating the poison...
Havent see any new activity up there, hopefully they are gone, be too hot at moment I expect anyway.
-
We had that a few years back too. Our then cat - lethal little bastard - sorted them out one evening.
-
@Victor-Meldrew yeah not sure I want to put my cats into the roof with Pink Batts...which surely cant be good for rats living in them either?
I set traps and baits, found 2 dead ones up there and other dead ones on our section, and no longer finding droppings in my shed either.

We barely have to feed our cat:
Not actually him (but identical). Rats, mice, and rabbits are too scared to come anywhere near our place with him around. So he goes and finds them and kindly brings them in to show off. Known as Mark Dennis (as in Dark Menace).
Rats are sorted -now I could start on fucking wasps...
-
not really a grumpy old man thing, more a worry thing...
Driving about you see kids waiting for buses head bent over staring at thier phones with earbuds in thier ears listening to music (usually too loud if my kids are anything to go by)
We are gonna have a generational issue at some point with neck issues, hearing and sight issues at younger ages.
Constantly telling my kids ot have a break, hold the iPad/Phone up higher so thier head is up, turn the music down, have a break (this bit is grumpy old man stuff)

@Snowy I got my replacement for dogmeat during 2015 RWC. Richie McClaw (black and white) known as Mac. He's a useless fat (9kg) bastard but he has kept the rats pretty much at bay. Fucker likes to eat them in the bedroom while I'm asleep [crunch - crunch]
I had a massive wasp nest get into my bedroom wall cavity a couple of years back. Exterminators were going to rip the (heart kauri) weatherboards off. I sealed the walls and roof lining up and starved them to death. Noise was very impressive. Little bastards weren't happy. They started crawling out through air-con - so I sealed that up as well. Got them in the end. I'm allergic so was quite a priority.

Current cats are good hunters but our previous cat - a ginger queen - was something else. Squirrels, pigeons, stray dogs...
The stray Tom we were warned to keep her away from when we moved in, lasted exactly 3 nights before he decided discretion was better than a ripped nose
