Overrated things in life

[edgie]

So they don't have a home ground anymore? Irony, the last lot of cubs to not have a home folded. Let us hope history repeats and they are no more/bumped over to qld

It was there, it was teetering, it was showing some cheek and gall and putting its GoPro over the edge, it was taking selfies and calling his girlfriend as he held onto it with the same two fingers that he sniffed at a party in Booragoon in summer 2011, but of course it happened: there it goes, pushed right over the edge. Someone's pushed him. He's pushed it too far and now he's killed it!

Four wheel drives overrated? You can't tow a caravan with a Fiesta...

Yeah you're right, except you don't have to tow a caravan when it just sits in the driveway all year

Then that person isn't doing it right, my olds have gone away at least 4 times this year with their caravan.

Caravanning is overrated.

Stick to a hotel or a resort and you won't have to annoy motorists by hogging the road.

Exactly, Caravans overrated. Stay at home and don't travel and live in your dark room with a foil hat sounds better.

 

[edgie]

If I'm going to live a foil hat existence, I'd much rather make myself a moving target.

Caravan or Winnebago?

Ham and pineapple pizza. Don't get it.

TBH, I really don't understand those that wear clothes that are obviously creased, like they've just picked them out of the wash or off the floor, particularly business shirts or on a night out. Just makes someone look like a complete bag of s**t. I mean, how hard is it to iron something, really? I started ironing my own clothes around the same time I started taking showers by myself (as opposed to baths or supervised baths as a little kid) and making my own bed each day, at around 6 years old. Just standard practices to me. No idea how/why people can get to adulthood and still either not do it (out of laziness) or not have a clue how to do it (because someone else has always done it for them). It's like, what were your parents teaching you as a kid?

Yeah but when you're camping, no one expects your clothes to be ******* perfectly folded and ironed - it's such a weird thing to get upset about, considering no one is judging you off your creases on your clothes. @SilentAlarm hasn't done 'real' camping - when you camp properly, you don't have shitfights with friends and stew over it, and don't worry about what your clothes look like.

As for showering, weather and sleep, yeah nah you aren't wrong there, those 3 can turn a nice night into a preview of hell

Camping is a whole different deal. I understand Silent Alarm was talking about that, but I'm talking about regular everyday life.

On a similar note, staying in backpacker hostels on interstate/overseas holidays.

I know it's cheaper than a hotel room, but I don't want to share a low-class room with other people I don't know, and risk having my things touched/stolen, just to save a couple of bucks.

I know it's cheaper than a hotel room, but as if I want to share a room with other people I don't know, and risk having my things touched/stolen, just to save a couple of bucks.

So it's not all bad, then.

We got a caravan once on Lake Alexandrina. Worst holiday ever, four people in an oversized sardine can, how can that possibly ever work? Never happened again. I'd take camping over caravans and I really hate doing that too.

Was at a hostel in Perth (and a quite nice one too at that) about 2009, sharing a room with others, it was that point I realised "I am too old for this s**t".
Cancelled the rest of my booking after a night and moved up the road to a hotel.

I still stay in hostels tho sometimes (Apollo Bay- Eco Beach is lovely) but make sure they're private rooms, never share.

When I was backpacking in Europe and occasionally you'd see some oldies staying in youth hostels (*stereotype warning* they were mostly Germans), and you'd wonder what part of "youth" was confusing them.

 

[Scotland]

Oldies in hostels should GTFO.

I saw a couple of 45-50 somethings at a hostel in Ljubljana once. They were complaining about towels and whatnot. The sort of stuff you'd let fly at a cheap motel. FFS, it's a hostel.

What do you guys think the max age limit is suitable for hostels? I'm thinking around 30-35...

 

[peternorth]

What do you guys think the max age limit is suitable for hostels? I'm thinking around 30-35...

raises a similar question. what age should one stop wearing footy jumpers to games or outings?

 

[craigos]

You haven't lived until you've stayed in a "hostel" where you're more concerned with losing your life as opposed to losing your wallet.

On the flip side, fancy hotels are overrated.

33?

About the mark I reckon.

 

[Shell]

Aw I love my footy jumper wont stop wearing it

 

[Scotland]

You can wear a footy jumper to the footy at any age.

People of all ages wear them to the footy, I don't think it's something that you should necessarily grow out of. It's great seeing a stadium packed with the colours, and seeing people in their team's gear at pubs before/after the match.
