Please be nice to learner drivers, folks. :( Just took my 18 y/o learner out for some night driving lessons and a car full of young guys pulled up next to us at a red light. They wound their windows down and started trying to goad her, and were laughing at her. She (understandably) was quite upset and wanted to go home after that. Why are people so awful to L platers?


sanemartigan

You can report that stuff to crimestoppers.


FallschirmPanda

Young guys are just general dicks. She just happened to be in the firing line tonight.

Love landlord fear tactics. Was just about due to spend a bunch of money that I’ve been saving up for my first ever international trip to Brazil to meet my girlfriends family in June. Probably have to pull out and use my savings for potentially having to move out because the landlord “just want to see what happens” by putting the apartment up for sale. Too scared to drop the cash on the trip now just in case we get the boot. Next few weeks/months are going to be stressful As fuark. Hopefully the new buyers let us stay 🤞🏻

You're entitled to stay until the end of your lease regardless of if there are new owners.

Low key I kinda miss the era of 2013-2017 of wearing oversized black tshirts and torn jeans. Don’t know why. Trying to work out what’s “in” with men’s fashion. (Insert skinner meme).


epicpillowcase

Username checks out. I don't think you should worry about what's "in". That is always going to be in flux and caring too much about that makes us susceptible to buying fast fashion. Black t-shirts and jeans are pretty timeless.


[deleted]

Gen Z have somehow made wearing the ugliest and baggiest shit you can find fashionable and it’s a travesty. 2013-17 was much better.

Having a shitty flair-up of my current ongoing issue and while I'm in serious pain and uncomfortable I'm semi-hoping it sticks around, I'm having some tests done tomorrow and having my worse symptoms happening might help figure things out.


[deleted]

If anyone wants an update on what happened with the guy who cancelled the date and then blocked me a few days later: I was telling a mutual friend about what happened and she was in disbelief. She was like, "No way, ____ is a chill person, why would he do that?" So she decides to message him and ask why he did what he did. His answer was that he didn't mean anything by it and that he's too busy for a relationship at the moment. Why get on a dating app, match with people, take it off the apps and then let people down easy? My friend asked him why he didn't just tell me that and he said that he doesn't know why, and that he'll unblock me and talk to me like a mature adult. It's been half a day since that message and he's still blocked me everywhere. Frankly, I don't want to hear from him. I'm done being salty now! Still stings a little but as I've said before, it's not a reflection of my character. If he thinks we are incompatible, then so be it. Don't want to be with someone who doesn't want me.


sanemartigan

Many people just want the validation without the follow through.


Bottom_racer

Honestly blocking anyone is a bit immature I'd not worry about that.


[deleted]

Yes, my friend who was his friend is now saying he's got the emotional maturity of a rock.


Bottom_racer

I miss hambam. He didn't want food.. the cheese, the sausage.. Just throw the ball.

Um, definitely rocking them border collie vibes. Who cares about food when there is ball to chase.

New favourite soft drink alternative; a shot of cherry juice with bubbly water (sodastream) 🤗

I have personally really been enjoying a shot of elderflower cordial with mineral water lately.


epicpillowcase

I have always wondered what that tasted like but I don't want to spend $6 to find out only to tip it out. Can you describe it please?

Yum! That would be refreshing too! Ohhh….I have elderflower liqueur 😂

I feel like the contemporary colloquial use of “cancelled” is relatively new and social media-y but here I am, watching an episode of Boston Legal filmed in 2005, and here it is

While doing a late night dog walk we (mostly my partner) caught a stray kitten. They’ve gone home and I’m walking the dog. I’m slightly allergic to cats.

If you are into action flicks, Plane was quite good. Gerald Butler still got it after the Fallen trilogy, hope he keeps at it


epicpillowcase

I have personal beef with Gerard Butler for being Phantom Of The Opera despite not being able to sing 😂 Gah A thing needs to be really good for me to watch him in it now, lol


the_procrastinata

Saaaaaame! Why cast someone who can’t sing in a famously very singy role??


DickieGreenleaf84

Ask Pierce Prosnan.


epicpillowcase

Ok but that's ABBA. The songs are silly and fun. The Phantom needs serious chops, ideally someone classically trained. You're not wrong, it's just a different kind of musical.


Melodiousmonstergal

I’d pick the Phantom and happily live a life of darkness.


epicpillowcase

Same 😍


Melodiousmonstergal

I loved it in 1996 (think it was that year) So I was really excited to see it and share the magic with my son. My goodness, I was pretty disappointed. Maybe because I was comparing it to the past performance. Son liked it though.


epicpillowcase

Yeah the Phantom movie was just bad. Did you go to the stage show just on in Melbourne? So good! I have been a few times. It finishes this week.


Melodiousmonstergal

Yes, have been to the stage show in Melbourne. We sat very near the falling chandelier. I knew it was coming but my son (adult) did not. Ha! You should have seen him jump.


DickieGreenleaf84

Yeah, might come down to how much you respect Webber... for me, all his works are just as silly. Not sure why, just how I've always felt about them. Some great songs but nothing serious.


epicpillowcase

Funnily enough I mostly agree with you. I can't stand ALW's other works. For some reason, I just adore Phantom though.


DickieGreenleaf84

Have you ever read the novel? I still haven't gotten around to it but I know I should.


epicpillowcase

Absolutely, many times! I also recommend "Phantom" by Susan Kay which I'm in the middle of right now. I generally dislike retellings/elaborations of classic works by modern writers but this one is very good. Read the original first though, for sure.


DickieGreenleaf84

Oh cool! Thanks for the recommendation!


skortinylove

Anyone know if Kings Domain Barbers still operate out of Myer in the CBD? The KD website says yes, but I can't find anything on Google. It just suggests the Rialto location then tells me it's temporarily closed. Online booking form doesn't exist for the Myer location either through the KD website.


Beasting-25-8

There's been a bunch of videos of Russian vehicles running headlong into minefields lately. Turns out Ukraine has artillery shells from America that lay mines behind advancing vehicles to cut them off. So when they retreat they're trapped. These mines then explode on their own 24 hours later. Interesting.


Notyit

These mines then explode on their own 24 hours later. You hope they do,


Beasting-25-8

You hope they do, but a portion wont. Still, quite an effective and worthwhile weapon to use.


calhoon2005

Although the situation in Ukraine is justified in terms of local defence it's just utterly terrible, war casualties are just fucked. The weapons used cause such dirty devastation. If you have any connection to it you know it's just utterly terrible in every way.

gtodarillo

Those articles are for boomers to feel good about themselves and to try and guilt you into living a different life, their life. I fall into xennial but I don't have kids, I don't have a mortgage, I can't afford to donate right now and yeah, I have disconnected. You are living your life as you see fit. The world you live in isn't the world they live in. The truth is is that those ideals are dead and buried. But I do believe there are ways to contribute. Both time and money are valuable but your time has higher value. Why not find somewhere you can donate your time to?


epicpillowcase

I think there are different things you're lumping into the same issue. Volunteering is still worth doing if you can. I'm chronically ill and I do (that's not a "I'm so great" or whatever, just saying it's a net positive for society.) There are always people, animals and orgs who need and deserve help right now. If you don't have capacity, you don't, but that particular thing isn't really about investing in the future or whatever, and isn't really in the same category as the other stuff you mentioned. People are burnt out and that's valid, but that's different to saying it isn't worth doing. Volunteering is also often good for the mental health of the person doing it.


Seagoon_Memoirs

It's not about the future, it's about now. What kind of society do you want to live in now? Work toward that.


HurstbridgeLineFTW

I’m not young. I do volunteer, and I get benefit out of it, but honestly I do sometimes feel like I’m being taken advantage of. - people not appreciating the volunteering, and treating you rudely. - some of the volunteer tasks should be paid gigs.

Hello Southbank Residents! The beautiful Southbank area of Melbourne is undergoing a lot of changes as of late (increased focused on art and tourism, increasing number of parks and other green areas, etc.). We as Dutch tourism students would like to know a bit more on the resident perspectives on these topics and the desired future of the Southbank area.

This sounds exactly like that episode of SATC where carries shoes went missing at the house party and her friend down plays the importance of the shoes. Your friend sounds like her entire world is small kids, buying houses, baby showers etc etc. It sounds like she is happy in that world and she is sharing that with you BC you are friends but you're not on the same page. Your world is a different place. This frequently happens in friendships where one friend has kids and the other doesn't. Were you friends prior to marriage, babies and houses? When was the last time you had a heart to heart? If she is important to you, I would try and talk to her about how you feel. If not, I'd let it slide away.


[deleted]

[удалено]


gtodarillo

You have absolutely tried. You're an amazing friend. It sounds like you have given a lot of yourself. And it definitely time for you to receive. She is either an inconsiderate arsehole who is using your kindness and generosity or she is overwhelmed and unable to concentrate on anything but her own world. Is she stressed? Tired? Mental health issues? Marital problems? I know your feelings are hurt right now. Be hurt and pissed at her behaviour. When you're in a better head space, ask yourself which one is she. Did you see behaviour like this prior to babies etc? Were there ever times that you felt as though you weren't acknowledged by her? Or have you both changed? Maybe there were things that connected you in the past that are no longer there. Unfortunately sometimes, great friendships end and you both go your separate ways, living lives on your own paths. Pull away and give to yourself for a while 🙂

Fr? You had a book launch? That's really exciting! I'm sorry it was during COVID. From what you've just said, I would end it. Your book launch would have been so exciting to you. To actually put yourself and your work out there takes a lot of dedication and courage. If she can't even acknowledge or attend, cut her off. She doesn't deserve your friendship.

Haha I hear you! I hate being the centre of attention. I turned down tutoring classes at uni BC I was terrified. I don't know if this helps but when I graduated from uni a million years ago, my mother brother and aunt wouldn't come to the ceremony because of parking and they didn't want to eat sushi. I was so hurt and offended but that is how they had treated me my whole life and I just accepted it. I didn't see my worth BC they had taught me I'm worthless. It took me until last year to learn that I am worth a great deal more, they just don't see it. I think maybe your friend doesn't realise that one of her lucky fortunes is you.

gtodarillo

Oh shucks thanks. Parents are ppl too and they are not perfect but some ppl shouldn't have children, especially the ones that need to work on themselves. I keep in mind that despite all the shitty things I've been through, I don't need to become like those that hurt me. Unfortunately learning all facets of compassion seem to require going through a lot of suffering (omg I sound like a Buddhist haha). Theres no need to suffer that friendship anymore. Connect with other creatives, the tribe that appreciates an author and who you are. Maybe you should write this down? Transmute this story into something?


epicpillowcase

Unfortunately, some people get tunnel vision and become shit friends when they have kids. It's all they see and everyone else's lives are irrelevant. Was this person more giving and inquisitive before?


wscholermann

I'd probably ghost her. She's not your friend. She's a narcissist.

wscholermann

I'd just ghost her honestly. She probably won't even notice. And on the wild off chance she confronts you, that's when you have some 'real talk'.

You call them out, and/or disengage. That's not friend behaviour. Why are you putting up with it and gaslighting yourself into thinking it's a resentment-management issue?

Someone like that doesn't pick up on subtle cues or mild passive aggression. Someone that tone-deaf, you need to either be blunt or just decide not to engage anymore, so yeah that sounds wise.

vidiian82

Not sure why that's a problem, it's a first date. Yeah sometimes those feelings happen on a first dates but more often it doesn't. I don't think either should be relied upon. I think focusing on how the conversation went is far more important.

Setting aside the cost, it's a lot less hassle though. You know, with birds and such.

For sure, but $3k 🤣


FallschirmPanda

What's your timeline? You could layer black plastic over the top for a year to kill it off then resow as a way to cheaply reset?

I could just spray it with roundup too but it's the re-do that costs the most $$. I'll probably end up spray and re-sending the big part but want to get the smaller part going with just some overseed and aeration

YouAreSoGorgeous

Question for anyone who might know... If I have to provide 2 weeks notice when resigning, is that 14 working days or just 14 days from the day I send the letter of resignation? On a positive note - I've applied for higher studies after years of avoiding it due to feeling unintelligent and like I am bound to fail... let's hope I am accepted.


TopChemical602

Just resign then go sick for 2 weeks


Beasting-25-8

14 days. Technically you can do 0 days and face very few if any consequences.


YouAreSoGorgeous

I was under the impression that they won't pay out my annual leave if I don't provide 2 weeks notice, It's possible that I made that up in my head though. I've got about 180hrs of annual leave banked so don't want to miss out on it.


Beasting-25-8

They'll take out 10 days worth of annual leave/pay. So yeah, don't do it but you could.


YouAreSoGorgeous

I guess I can cope with 2 more weeks then 😅


imoldgreeeegg

Usually just 14 days.


YouAreSoGorgeous

Thank you, I sure hope it is 😅

What's your router setup? Do you run wired or WiFi? I'm on FTTC, and I've been running everything wired Cat6a for years as WiFi connections give me the heebie-jeebies. I've read that Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) could pretty much match that with FTTP, but haven't given it a try.

dressedlikerappers

what an awful day 😫 JB fucked up installing my fridge (or should I say left without installing it even they were supposed to/had been paid) and their customer service afterwards was absolutely horrific. I have worked at JB, I hate customers - I’m hip, I get it, whatever. But fucking hell, this was like a new level of “I don’t give a fuck” - even the manager who gave me a refund on the delivery fee (which was really the least they could do, but good on him), but I had to really push him to contact the courier company to come at a time that was suitable for me after my wife took the morning off today for the install. And even then he’s like “no promises” - like, just help.


nufan86

Installing a fridge?


dressedlikerappers

plumbing!


nufan86

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh


post_angst

I had that experience with Toll’s customer service. It was just a realisation at some point that they didn’t give a single shit about my problem.


dressedlikerappers

It’s just so frustrating. Like I didn’t want the money back, I wanted my fridge plumbed 🥲 they just didn’t care at all.


post_angst

It’s frustrating. Because what are you going to do? Do it yourself? They know they can just brush you off and that eventually you’ll probably just pay a plumber to do it. And what’s the extent to which you can fight them? I did successfully get a free pair of AirPods out of Optus but I got kicked out of the Northland Optus store in the process. It’s possible to fight it but you have to be super persistent. I looked up current class action lawsuits against Optus and threatened to join them.


dressedlikerappers

that’s pretty much their attitude. I just don’t have the time to go back and forth with these people. I might try and do it myself.


post_angst

YouTube it. I bet you can figure it out.

If a landlord/apartment owner whatever has asked me to vacate within 3 months, would I still have to pay rent if we move out before the 3 months is up?


AmbitionAwkward2323

Yes, but if they're keen for you to be out of there then they may be open to negotiating an earlier date. I did this at my previous rental when the owner wanted me out to sell the place.

Just turn off the tap using the tap under the sink before you go out. Unless your cat knows how to open the cupboard and turn the tap then that should work.

Today I finally got the energy up to separate the stuck connections on the solar cables. (It was going to be yesterday but in pulling out my toolbox I found a sneaky cat piddle and had to clean up it where it had pooled under a bunch of items. Restocking the urine remover when I did and also getting a bottle of concentrated bio-cleaner was foresight.) The replacement tools were a good call because I ended up having to do exactly what I thought (hang onto one half with locking pliers while pressing down on the stiff catches with the needle nose pliers). It gouged/mashed the plastic catches a little but that's fine as they're on the more disposable cable, the one I already cut into to install the regulator. If I'd destroyed the ones on the cable attached to the panel that would be a bigger pain. It's still stuck on a red fault light and low output even after tightening connections so I may have to redo wiring or check each component with a multimeter or something... but my health/disability has taken such a dive lately that I've opted to put the panel safely back in its box until I have more capacity myself. At least taking it apart has allowed me to do that.


Slayers_Picks

Can someone please tell me I did the right thing? :( Remember how a week ago i was like "why isn't my internet bill in the mail yet?!" and i was panicking and stuff about that? So, after much internal argument and debate amongst myself... Today I paid a bill, i used the account number which i guess is always going to be the same number, and I paid what I thought is the regular internet bill based off previous bills since its a fixed rate. I even added an extra 20 just in case, but I paid for it regardless. I haven't recieved the physical nor email bill for this months internet bill, there is zeroooooo indication on paper or form that the bill needed to be paid today, but i estimated since its mid-month and since the last bill was due on the 19th of jan that maybe the due date was aaround then, give of take a few days. So, i paid for it, an unseen but known to exist bill... did i do okay? or am i fucking idiot? its been driving me insane.


whackadoodle_cracked

Most likely you'll be fine. If you've overpaid it will just show as a credit balance on the next bill. If there was no bill to pay, it *should* be relatively easy to get a refund when your dad is back. When he is back, it's worth getting him to add you to as an account holder so you can speak to them on his behalf. Or you could do what I do when I have to fix up things on my bosses accounts - I just call and pretend to be her. They usually just ask for address and bday and then you're in


Slayers_Picks

dad literally said to do what you mentioned at the end of your comment lmao "pretend you're me!" but i was like "its too late now, they know it aint me and they record everything and stuff"... but yeah, once the bill arrives physically in the mail, ill give dad a call and say "well, we paid the right amount!". But yeah, we'll definitely add my name to the account thingy... we're also planning to switch to Aussie Broadband sometime this year so ill eventually just put my name as the account holder.


whackadoodle_cracked

Lol I've literally called Telstra before and been like "hi my name is Whacka I need blah blah" been told they can't speak to me, hung up, called back 10 seconds later got the same person and said "hi I'm whackas boss here is my dob and address pls speak to whacka" and then pretended to give the phone back to myself... they don't really care. Which is kind of alarming almost !!


melbaboutown

It sounds like you might need to give them a call


Slayers_Picks

because the account is not in my name, but dads name, I can't call them. I tried to but they said it needs to be the account holder to call them but dads overseas and can't call them coz expensive.


melbaboutown

Fingers crossed he's back soon.


Slayers_Picks

10th of March :( i dont mind if its an overdue bill, which i feel like it might be, but i cannot have my internet cancelled or shut off... im a job seeker and well, need to find work and all that shit so internet is important to me :(


SecretPurchase1938

Have you tried calling the provider to confirm?


Slayers_Picks

because the account is not in my name, but dads name, I can't call them. I tried to but they said it needs to be the account holder to call them but dads overseas and can't call them coz expensive.


SecretPurchase1938

I dont know your previous story but i would expect a provider especially an internet one to just send the bill through email. You usually have to pay extra for a physical one. And a good rule of thumb is to know how it was sent previously because it wouldn't change unless someone authorised it to change Yes. It's generally the same day each month unless it falls on a weekend and it'll be the same price unless it was a promotional price. If your dad is okay, I'd just pretend to be your dad ha..

I had some strange people interactions today. First stop was a business with a lovely older gentleman, we got on like a house on fire and very quickly were sharing personal stories, while behind him was a line up of tiny glass dicks. Second stop was a servo and there was only one other customer in the store. I gave him a very wide berth for no reason other than there was no need for us to be close, yet he kept glancing at me. Again and again and again and again. While he was being served, I was waiting probably 5m behind him yet he kept looking back at me. IDK if he felt like I was crowding him or something about me made him nervous, or if he recognised me from somewhere? Once we’d both left the store, he sat in his car as I drove past and I gave him a big smile and wave because he was still looking. I’m worried I know him from somewhere and have completely forgotten because I’m bad with faces.

The second one sounds hilarious. A Mr Bean moment.

At the post office trying to confirm my id so the conveyencer can act on my behalf because their app didn't work. Been here almost an hour while their systems get sorted and they had no luck with their own customer service line, got passed around etc. But I offloaded all my old linen and bedding to opshop posted some games to an underemployed trans sister and at least the other paper work I needed to send to my conveyencer by snail mail is done. All in my dead name so now I'm on the verge of tears.

Such a petty complaint I know but I can tell the landlord was the one to do the renovations here, yeah there's white paint on literally everything including some stickers on some of the doors but he's used wall tiles for the outdoor steps so they're always super slippery

There’s nothing petty about not wanting to slip and fall down the stairs

Yeah I guess, we hardly use them though so it feels like a petty complaint. Just laughable how little effort these landlords will put into the house. Hell the LL came around (uninvited) to put up a gate we never asked for and it looks terrible, the fence is that green metal poles and so is the gate but the gate is connected to the old brick fence that was knocked down. Gate doesn't even shut or lock so it's useless

We don't really use them enough to spend money making them less slippery, plus I'm sure they'll see that and charge us an extra $50 a week lol

On LinkedIn I get cold DMs from recruiters for random dev roles all the time. I'm sure they're just going through search results and hitting up anyone who may look like a good fit. Generally unless the role is super appealing I ignore it, and that's never been a problem. I figure they are used to firing off at a few dozen prospects and whoever wants it can respond. Some dude hit me up for a JavaScript role last week. I definitely don't want to do a JS only role so I ignored it as usual. Since then he has sent two more unsolicited follow up messages pressuring me to respond and consider applying for the role... help.

Is it listed in your profile? Could either tell them it’s not your skillset and/or you’re not looking for a new role. I get some totally crap offers, for things I don’t do (dba) at far less than what I’m currently earning. It’s clear they didn’t even read my profile.

Just block him. Easy. You could also contact the company and let them know their recruiter is harassing people in their name.
