So...thought I'd head down to Geelong and collect my brother from the hospital and drive him back.

A complete stuff up.
I caught the 8:50 train from Watergardens and then realised I would miss intercepting the Geelong train at Footscray by 10 minutes. First mistake.

Then as we're getting closer to Footscray I think "Hmmm, going to have to wait 50 minutes. May as well go to Southern Cross and get a decent coffee"

The train took an eon to go through the loop etc and when it got to SC I only had 15 minutes to go find a decent coffee, buy a train ticket, and find the platform.
So I thought "stuff that, I'll just stay on this train, get off at Footscray, and see what's there"

*next stop....kensington "WTF"
So I hastily open the train app on my phone to work out what is going on.
I get off at Newmarket and run to the other platform in the hope there is a North Melb train coming quickly.

5 minutes "Might get lucky I thought"

So I get off at Nth Melb and start looking for the platform whilst checking the app.
So I find the correct platform and watch as the Geelong train goes straight past me. FFS

So I caught the next train to werribee thinking I'll just get off there and wait for the next Geelong train.
For some reason I decided to check the app again.
The next Geelong train doesn't stop at Werribee! Faarrkk.

Luckily, I found this information 30 seconds before we got to the Footscray station.

So I've just had a lovely walk around pleasant Footscray.
Man, that area has gone backwards (didn't think it was possible). The scummiest bunch of cretins you'll ever see. They've got no problem with standing on the street at 10:30am drinking UDL.

So, if I'd caught my very first train 10 minutes earlier I would have been in Geelong at 10am. And now I'll be getting there at midday. Another wasted day!

Hope yours is better.

****ing f-aggot (excuse my swearing) dented my car.

Drivers side mirror will have to be replaced.

And its one of my neighbours too- I live in a dead end street.

Any suggestions about what to put in the letter I'm about to write is appreciated. I'm thinking of starting it.. Dear a-sshole...

Any use in going thru insurance?

Got comprehensive and havent made a claim at all.

Bout time those **** ****ers actually shelled out for something for me..
Might be very wrong since I've never had to use my insurance but you might wanna check a few things out.

Doesn't using your insurance start having impact on excess and crap like that?

If it doesn't cost too much probably best to just pay out of your own pocket. Depends on the dollars involved.

Said a lot without really helping there.
