I always have treats out in a bowl by the front door but not one has been taken in the last 5 years. Then I discovered there's a neighbourhood WhatsApp group dedicated to complaining about me.
- Your name is dogmeat.
- You put treats "out in a bowl by the front door."
- Which raises the ire of a neighbourhood WhatsApp group...
nope, nope, just can't see any connection....

I’m down with Halloween, love seeing the young kids dress up and wander the streets
Not so down with the greedy fucken teenagers who raid the loot taking handfuls at a time. They need to be lynched
There was a great vibe on our village out on the coast, but it has died off due to fluffybunny teens from Whangarei driving out and being shit heads like that
' I need some for my little brother' etc. I told them to fuck off, but not everyone is going to do that to a mob of huge teenage boys

I feel like we need some elaboration here

That is very in the spirit if this thread. Top work.

Shopping with daughter and her mum for Jr's birthday.
There's a rotating cohort of Grumpies plonked on the couches/seats in the shopping centre concourse, obviously while the women folk shop, or at least don't shop. Pretty constant at 5 as blokes arrive and leave.
Found this amusing.

Ok, I real pissed off. Trying to reclaim costs from travel insurance on our trip, with Mrs breaking leg etc. Anyway after going through every detail off out life (even who we got health and Contents insurance with). I got all receipts etc from travel agent, including what we had got back from airlines etc, and seemed to have tp put everything in.
And the absolute pisser on top, in medical report I attached a letter from Orthepedic Surgeon etc, it also says you will need a downloadable certificate of ours filled out by your usual local doctor in Australia..
Yeah? I live in NZ and name of company is Kiwi Travel Insurance!!! -

To be honest mate. I actually never used to take out travel insurance. Had done a fair bit of travelling, but about 5 years back was going to Italy and as renting a car I thought I would take out travel insurance just in case as they covered the excess etc.
Well I slipped on some ice, snapped ankle, and had to get operated on before travelling home. Obviously went private (bill was $25000 Aus), and then had to fly home business class (another $8000), so have got into habit of buying it now.
Travel agent told me I had plaenty of time etc, but actually bought it when I paid for tickets ,just in case. And so just in case happened. -
I was always skeptical about travel insurance but took it out for a big trip in the US many years ago. Ended up having some dental issues and needed to get someone to look at it. Nothing major but pretty pricey.
Rang up the company (1cover) and it couldn't have been easier. Spoke to a human, sorted all the paperwork very quickly, money in the account soonafter. So I've always gone with them based off one good experience.
I reckon insurance is one of those things that a good experience hooks you for life with that company, but a bad one will see you never use them anywhere again.
