doest shit me, or fail to understand, or underrate, overate, but i thought id put it here.

my faceybooky is today innundated with friends who are taking selfies downing cans or other alcoholic beverages. according to commenters, its great reward for dry July, well earnt!

commendations for staying off the grog for a month, massive credit to these friends. seems that straight after the event has finished actions revert back. ive learned that such friends really really need alcohol.

Oh no doubt, just don't get why people (he) would do it even if you didn't like someone.

Hates a bit strong though
It's a form of bullying - whether he is aware he even does it or not is another thing altogether. My sister in law does it with me - speaks italian to everyone at the table knowing that I don't understand, even though to that point everyone has spoken English. Even when called on it she says it isn't deliberate, when everyone knows that it isn't the truth - I told her I didn't have a problem with it because she rarely has anything interesting to say anyway

The other day I was talking to some workmates about how I haven't been sick in over a year.

Wake up this morning, whole body aches, sore throat, runny nose. FML, should've known better.

You mozzed yourself.

Also, bikers, again. Was driving on a residential street this afternoon, cars parked on both sides of the street, biker riding straight up the middle. Had to drive the whole way behind him going 15km because this idiot was hogging the road.
How much width between the parked cars? Any less than 5m and its not safe to pass
How late did he make you? Half an hour?

My favourite time of the year has arrived hard rubbish collection week. I will not confirm or deny whether or not I will report anyone sifting through rubbish out the front. That said I'm taking a different tact this year, I'm not putting out the stuff I want gone out the front until the very last moment (aka late tonight).

Why would you report someone?

So? I can't think of a reason you would care. If someone gets use out of your rubbish, what harm is done?
I put it out the front for it to be disposed of, not for some random person to steal it and use it for themselves.

Hey now I just play by the rules set by my local council, I expect other people to do the same.

I admit it's amusing to watch people go through other peoples stuff like greedy vultures - especially when they have no shame and do it in broad daylight.

I've got two small bookshelves that I scored off hard rubbish, I sanded them back, restained them, and they're great. I ain't proud, and I have a lot of books.
I wouldn't have so much of a problem if people ASKED before taking the stuff. Case in point, one year putting bits of a tree out the front I had people knocking on the door asking if they could take the bits of tree log to use as fire wood. I said they certainly could.

We regularly put things we don't want out on the lawn for people to take if they want. If it's still there a day or two later then bring it back in and it becomes hard rubbish or a trip to the tip.

Another reason to show how petty Xtreme is.

It's ******* rubbish? Who cares. You're throwing it out. If someone else wants it, who cares? Better than going to the tip.
Second hand use is much better than extra landfill.

Of all the weird eccentricities he has this is one I just don't get.
