Society & Culture Things you do/did that you probably think no one else does

Its f’ed isn’t it? You really do need to pick your battles though, happy wife a d happy life and all of that

One of the only times I put my foot down was the wedding, was like 2k for the photos, which is ok I guess. But they wanted an extra 3k to film the ceremony and reception!

I said fu** that and my cousin filmed it all on a mini video camera for nothing and we’ve never watched it anyway.

We paid $4k for our wedding video and I am so glad we did, was well worth it.

How many times have you watched it?

 

[Cruyff14]

How many times have you watched it?

The whole thing, twice.

The 4 minute clip at least 40-50 times

 

[Hawk Dork]

I havent even looked at all the photos from my first round the world trip.
I now rarely photograph anything when I travel

 

[Quivorir]

Don't even know where our photos are. Probably on a long lost USB stick.

How about a new wife and a traditional mailbox?

big letterbox is cheaper

when we used to be able to go overseas, i often think at tourist and non tourist spots alike that the person say behind the counter at a cafe, restaurant, shop etc are just regular folk. but because you're in say USA, Disneyland, you're in a fantasy realm where you're seeing a different persona. And therefore wonder what they are like when they clock off. Do they go home and logon to a forum like this? Are they Disney by day innocent and sweet, then when night falls they are a terror in the sack?

I know a guy who went OS on honeymoon, got sent a link to his wedding video, forgot to turn off roaming charges, watched it and got back home to a $10k bill.

It's like my students when they see me outside of school. The look of surprise on their face that I actually have a life outside of the classroom.

I can be neurotic about putting on my shoes. When I was a kid my Grandad went to put his on and dropped dead in front of me, I've always have that in the back of mind every time I put mine on.

Sneak peek at Goughs feet

 

[Reynolds Number]

Seeing an Imran Khan lookalike.

And thinking he doesn't care about the rights of Muslims in certain places.

Because I see him drinking beer everytime I see him.

I have a McGovern/Eagleton button on my beanie and if asked about I say that if Trump is trying to turn overturn the last election, I still have issues with 1972.

Not sure why you have a Jeremy and Nathan button combo

George called out to Garcia for support during the 1972 campaign who said only if he would legalise weed. After the call he put his phone under the pillow and wouldn't answer it for the rest of the weekend because he was freaked out the prospective POTUS actually knew who he was.

My letterbox, post and numbers cost about $40. And like $15 of that was the numbers.

My house had one when I moved in.

The number of people who email files to themselves to save them in their email system...

I did this last night transferring a few files from one pc to another. I couldn't be bothered finding a usb drive to just do the switcheroo

[the_interloper]

I watched three hours of that protest live, there were two thoughts which I think are ironic (I'm not quite sure what that means ha ha)

- The protestors were destroying the front of the building they paid to build and throwing shit at the blokes whose wages they pay
- They wouldn't have been working nat times during the protest due to the rain!

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah kinda ironic that tradies are going to have to fix that building.

Are you legally obliged to pay ridiculous bills like that? That's not a bill, that's extortion
