You obviously decided that "to be" is the answer.

Bloke in his early 40's was just walking down the street carrying an 18-inch speaker like it's a briefcase that was connected to his phone. Blaring out metal music as loud as it could go. When he was across the road and about 50 metres from my window it was louder than the music I had playing whilst working.... When he was 100 to 150 metres down the road I could still here it. I didn't mind the music (don't mind metal but plenty of others don't), but the volume... How does anyone older than a teenager thinks that's all hunky dory?

Saw a bloke going by this description (looked like the speaker was somehow installed inside a backpack/small trolley case) on the Adelaide tram on Australia Day. Was blasting the Triple M Aussie countdown at full volume.

Why did not natural selection or God, as is your is, not see the platypus have propellers?

Think how much better the world would be with flying platypuses.

And sharks don't have legs, imagine those campaigners hunting you on land as well as the water.

Why I just cant reach out and touch Trivago girl.

Why people don't get that people do different things and so on.

My mates have organised a dinner for Friday night in Prahran - the other side of the city. I work in the city so it could be worse.

They were considering doing it on Thursday, and I said if it's on Thursday I won't go. They were shocked by this and asked me why and I said, I don't really go out during the week.

Don't get what the big deal is. I go to bed around 9/9.30 cos I am up before 6.

Not going out for a meal because it's a weeknight is pretty unusual.

Sure, if someone wanted to get on the turps on a Wednesday or something I'd be apprehensive, but if friends were organising a dinner and I said 'nah can't go, it's a school night and I need to go to bed' I expect they would give me shit.

 

[perthblue]

yeah that is pretty weird Cruffy, a dinner is a dinner, not an all night bender

Maybe it is. We dont know the friends.

I don’t think it’s weird, personal preference.

Important question here though did you say “I can’t make it, but you guys go” or did you say “I can’t make it on a Thursday because I’m unique and go to bed early, therefore you should make it Friday to suit me”?

Cause one is acceptable, the other is not.

 

[Off The Couch]

I don’t think it’s that weird - lot of people I know don’t do stuff during the week. My daughter starts work at 6am and you’d have to have finished eating and be home by 7 for her to want to go anywhere.

 

[PoppedCorn]

What's the fascination with the trivago girl?


Also on speakers and idiots
Young turd comes home across the road, bucket of Shit car, speakers worth more than the tyres, mummy working away for the weekend feels the need to go out the driveway and back up the street 4 times revving the absolute crap out of it, flying down the local roads and home again....then stop in the driveway in neutral foot flat on the gas again.
So now everyone knows where you live you dumb **** lol

Rule number one when u get a licence out in the country, don't drive like a knob near your own house

 

[HairyO]

Apart from her being incredibly hot?

 

[Procrastinator35]

And incredibly annoying, repetitive & monotonous.

It's a Thursday night on the opposite side of the city (Prahran) to where I live (Essendon).

Yeah and my friends have trouble accepting that people can be different.

I said, wouldn't come if it was Thurs, do Friday, I don't go out during the week.

Pretty sure I get up earlier than all of them - about 5.30.

Yeah, not sure what the big deal is.

Usually in bed by 9/9.30 and rarely not asleep by 10.

People who think they know more about parenting than a 55 year old who has nurtured more than 4 kids over a 30 year span necause of what they have watched on TV and read on the internet.

To be fair, I've seen parents who've 'nurtured' plenty of kids that don't have a ****ing clue.
