@mariner4life You'd love Canberra where every spastic tailgates in the rain doing 100 because someone might get in front of them.
surprisingly i am a super patient and considerate driver. If you stick your indicator on i will let you in no worries. I live in Cairns, it's not like i'm in the middle of a massive commute, there's time.
fluffybunnies who refuse to let anyone merge in front of them fuck me off no end
i had a woman a week or so ago speed up as i started to merge to ensure she stayed in front, nearly wiping us both out. And she gave me a serve!!!
silly fluffybunny.

Yes. In my experience Canberrans tailgate because you have to be in a rush when every commute is 20-30mins max. Queenslanders on the other hand don't know how to merge. It's like they've never seen a zipper and being behind one car adds an hour to your commute, so fuck you, I 'm not letting you in.

lol we just had all our "lane ends" turned to "zip merge" and people didn't know what to do. slowly working it out, but there are still some who speed up because fuck you that's why
a lane closing ahead because of say, roadworks does my head in, because people change lanes instantly, fucking up two lanes of traffic. If you try to merge late, like you are supposed to, people won't let you in, because fuck you, you can wait.
inconsiderate, stupid, stubborn fluffybunnies.

Good lord I'm just trying to image a Queensland zipmerge, all those overweight drivers trying to do up their bulging open shorts at the same time..

Bullshit weather talk.
On a drizzly, windy day in the Hawkes Bay it is NOT funny or original to keep saying “Aw I see you brought the weather with you” to someone from Wellington.
Not funny but correct.
Not tonight. Cracker of an evening and to be fair the stereotype keeps people away so that’s a good thing
-
@mn5 not to dissimilar to the commentators during the NPC if it is raining in Whangarei, always mention the winterless north!
It isnt the rain that makes it winter fluffybunnies, its lack of sub-zero temps and snow that makes it 'winterless'

Yep, last I checked it still rains in Dec-Feb. I do love me some rain as long as it doesn’t interrupt the cricket
-
@mn5 well right now, the rain can fuck right off!
Even though we have had fuck all last 10 days, my grass is still growing too fast and with my ride on mower pretty well fucked and me having to mow my neighbours lawn while he's stuck in Aus too....

Cutting your neighbours grass while he's away aye? Hope he doesn't read the fern!

@crazy-horse ha, he's 80 and paid me to do it

Agree tbh. This isn't welly weather, it's just good ol wetting rain. Loving it.

People who try to have a conversation, any sort, even a short question to you, when you are TAKING A SHIT.
It doesn't matter what it's about, it can wait. Leave me alone.
Even if it’s about laying a cable?

Perhaps I wasn't clear ... not talking about the dude in the next stall wanting a chat. That's just odd. I'm talking about the
"Daddy ... can I watch some TV"
"Hon, you in there? Do you know where your keys are?"That shit can wait. This shit can't.

Especially if “Hon” was speaking to you 30 seconds before you disappeared into the khazi.
Unnecessary.

Went shopping today and noticed that supermarket trolleys these days never have wonky wheels - which make the things bloody unusable.
Just one more thing you can't get bloody grumpy about. Pisses me off.
