Mega Thread Things that Shit me part XII - The Twelfth One!

[peternorth]

Not shitting me, but just awkwarding me.

mate tagged me on social media about sponsoring him citing our last catch up where i allegedly said i will part ways with $$$ for his fun run (it goes to a worthy cause none the less).

his friends have asked if they need to wait for me to chip in before they do. he said yes.

shit.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Only 11 days into December and if I hear 'All I Want for Christmas is You' by Maria Carey one more time I am going to murder someone

 

[perthblue]

well, thats what you get for saying you'll sponsor someone's fun run, you get called out publicly.

those things shit me anyway, just give money to charity without the attention seeking running or shaving your head or growing a moustache, you stupid worthless infidels

How much and can you claim you were drunk? People say stupid shit they don't mean all the time when they're pissed. Also why do you have to pony up before everybody else will? That sounds like crap.

Yeah, that sounds weird.

I will happily contribute to things like that but if anyone puts any kind of pressure on me to do anything on social media I just ignore it. Nothing bad has ever happened, nobody ever un-friends me or challenges me about it. I have learned you don't have to respond to everything but I don't make a big deal about it either.

But SOCIAL media !!

 

[Gralin]

Still haven't heard it once this month

 

[theyellowsash]

A massive crash in Melbourne and surprise surprise, it was caused by a truckie running a red light.

The sooner we have autonomous trucks or shift freight to rail the better. you have to be of a certain low intelligence to be a truckie (or you'd do something else) and they are an absolute menace on the roads. Working long hours is no excuse for the absolute reckless and bullying way 95% of truckies drive.

I never said it.

wasnt drunk. Definitely discussed it as it is his niece (i think shes 9) who is suffering from an illness that is without cure.

Yeah, that sounds weird.

GET THEM TO PAY REGO!!!

 

[peternorth]

speaking of which, why when there is an incident or documentary about cyclists/hell ride, most comments relate to RAY REGO.

News flash, paying rego doesnt equate to zero incidents

Only this afternoon I saw a truck effectively ignore an ambulance with lights and sirens. The ambulance saw it coming and stopped and lent on the horn. The truck finally got the message after he was 90 percent around the corner and may as well of been blocking the ambulance given it was going in the same direction.

Saw similar on the weekend - ambulance was coming off the freeway and was going over the island for a clear run when a truck continued through the lights into his path and the ambulance had to wait. The driver was so totally in his own zone and just didn't see everything going on around him or just didn't care

 

[Tbonefreo]

Right

So the ex and I split up about 10 or so weeks ago, and during the early stage of the break up, the electricity bill for the old house came in (or so she says) so she asked me for $100 to cover half the bill. I said sure and gave her the money.

Got an email the other day (changed everything completely into my name) saying the bill was overdue.

The bitch flipping swindled me $100 bucks. Fell for it. Dumbarse me

 

[Big Sauce 21]

I envy your $200 electricity bill.

 

[Tbonefreo]

I envy your $200 electricity bill.

Left over from when we moved out, so not the full quid.
But i get what you're sayin

 

[theyellowsash]

Another truck crash.

 

[Shell]

Yup. And everyone is on their phones taking photos.

 

[Doss]

Yup. And everyone is on their phones taking photos.

People were taking selfies next to the memorials in the days after the carnage on Bourke Street at the start of this year.

Pulling dumb faces and everything.

The temptation to smash their phones was strong.

Still a safer way to drive than tailgating someone at 100 in a truck

Yeah I saw that at the 9/11 Memorial also.

Your point? Still illegal and a ****ing stupid thing to do which could cause yet another crash.

Sorry to hear that mate.

My advice is get everything in writing. Text or email. Everything.

E.g.
Her (talking): Hey can you pay XYZ?
You (talking): Yeah sure, I'll email you.
You (email): Hi, you wanted me to pay xyz correct? Can you please send me the bill/payment details?
Her (email): *shit*
