They still have the "rush" at the doors when they open I think, but its not like back in the old days when people got keyed and there was epic violence over $50 TVs.

But yeah whatevs, i stay well away from the major shopping centres and the city post xmas sales.

I remember a woman losing a finger but snaring a $100 tv back in the good ole days

or how badly people are struggling financially




makes a nice change from Ok boomer

Ok boomer is equally as pathetic.

I like ok boomer

I wanted to use it with a relative recently who started off ranting about how boomers were getting attacked and generalised about and I s**t you not ended it with if they didn't sip their lattes and have their smashed avo's they could afford a house instead of blaming me

Bernard Salt is your relative?

Could be I have no interest in my family tree.

I’m not fussed with the ok boomer
Initially all the boomer bashing pissed me off but I’ve since decided to just acknowledge it, embrace it and enjoy it. No *s given

that Westfield Balloon Drop is the funniest s**t I have seen for ages and anyone who got hurt, dare I say it, doesn't get any sympathy from me

What a disgusting reflection on our culture

I finished work at 1.15am on Monday night/Tuesday morning, driving home at that time is normally a quick process... until I got to Rosamond Rd and came across Highpoint ... with their THIRTY-SIX HOUR TRADING FOR XMAS and legit it was like a Saturday morning traffic wise. It was pumping. It's in absolute indictment on everybody who was there (save for the workers who are just doing their job)

zero xmas presents purchased on my end - I don't anticipate on receiving any so zero contribution to the sick, sick consumption mad holiday

 

[Shell]

Yah you should have avoided the HP area at all costs. It's crazy, even on a Sunday normal days.

I went to my mates place in Footscray once, so i kind of had to, a Sat I think, it took me almost a ****ing hour.

 

[radiojake]

Oh I know - i live two streets off Rosamond Rd so normally avoid HP at any cost but at 1am I didn't think it would be necessary

 

[Shell]

I worked there for almost 6 years at the cinema.

Dunno how i did that- i remember at the time it never bothered me. Probably cause my parents drove me most of the time

If people were smart they'd be buying things throughout the year instead of leaving it to the last few days.
I leave things like Chocolates until the last week so that they don't melt in Melbourne's weather!

I do laugh (and cringe) at people that ask if there are any trees/advent calendars/specialty Christmas items..... on Christmas eve..... that were already sold out in November/early December.

I maintained my composure this year and was constantly cheerful, even wishing everyone a merry christmas at the end of a conversation (regardless if in person/over the phone). More out of politeness AND to irritate others.

I just say “Ok mate”

It’s equally dismissive, but without the age discrimination.

I use "mate" in a hostile sense way more than I use it in a friendly way

 

[Shell]

I use mate definitely more in a friendly way. Maybe 75/25

People who line up for hours for boxing day sales. Lining up for 2+ hrs to just get a car park. Get a life

The exit on the Monash was ****ed just saw it on the news. Absolutely bizzare why youd wanna sit in that

 

[Procrastinator35]

apparently, Finn is old Norse for Lapp…as in Laplander....Not Lap-dancer or Zoolander.

Ergo, I'm patiently awaiting the day when young Finn runs Lapps around the opposition, keeps them in the dark & drives a reindeer sleigh through their de-fences.

Its a fair point. My daughter ends each fortnight with zero dollars in the bank regardless of how much money she earns. She has not once ever saved any money. And she complains about not being able to afford anything.

Well, I earn way more than her and have managed to go my entire life without paying $300 for a haircut.

I'd like to know why people care about hot cross buns being sold from Boxing Day. My son loves it. He hates the 6 months they are unavailable.

Nondescript noun for me, my mate can be my dad or the dude who bums a smoke off me in the street.

We went on the tram to the city, it was sardines, horrible. And unbelievably packed in the city, we lasted a few hours though lol.

 

[HairyO]

Ok boomer

Is that because my daughter cant save, or because my son likes hot cross buns?

Also, I suspect you are old. At least, it feels like it seems sad when you say it.

Its more humorous when younger people say it.

I asked my daughter and she said she doesnt know anyone who actually says it, just sharing funny memes.

Can't win sometimes with the older generations, some get criticised for not saving, others like me get criticised for rarely spending on anything.

I guess that's why so many have resorted to "ok boomer"
