you can give your opinion, I can give mine. I will be willing to admit in 12 months time I am wrong but very concerned for the next 3-6 months.

The people who requested the transport of the pallet of kegs, didn't want to pay for 2 pallet spaces, so double stacked the kegs. Not a problem usually, as the other pallets of goods provide it additional support (blocking). As this was the last job of the day, it needed to go to Victoria, so I had to lug it around most of the day, and drop it back to the depot so it could be loaded onto a truck bound for Victoria. The people driving in front of me approaching an empty roundabout decided at the last minute to brake suddenly for no apparent reason, forcing me to either make an insurance claim... or do my best to avoid a rear ender (which I did)... at the time expense of re-stacking the pallet. Oh, let me add that the driver probably spoken really good chinglish. The pic you see is what it looked like when unloaded from my truck. Just a hassle. So.. all good in the hood as they say. Cheers, One Man

I hate that the rule for turning into the lane nearest you when entering a multi-lane road was removed. Every time I have someone enter the multi-lane road I'm on as I approach the road they are entering from, I get worried they may not have seen me and will enter my lane. Or, they enter into my lane and force me to change lanes or slow down for them.
In particular, I'm talking about 100km/h highways.

I hate when developers shut down lanes or complete roads at all times of the day so they can have delivery vehicles, cranes, concrete trucks etc access the worksite to ensure that another ugly multimillion dollar pile of dog boxes gets built to line their pockets.
The most annoying thing is that all of the signs refer to "Roadworks" and the roads aren't being worked on. Councils should be forcing them to only get road and lane closures at night with the least impact on road users. I have no issues with road and lane closures for actual road works Surely there's a better way.

I can relate to this, part of my early working career when in Vic public transport, I use to attend train accidents, it did my head in after 11 years seeing the same thing, time after time, I do, really feel sorry for the emergency workers of all fields attending these accidents, you never forget the horrors & nightmares as to what you experience.

Started to fit new door levers to my house replacing the doorknobs since my wife suffers arthritis to her hands, the general door handles are 70mm from the edge, no problems the new levers are adjustable, except for the privacy levers, 60mm fixed. This means two new doors to be fitted, geeze I hate that!

You can’t get new locks with different backset?
Are they mortise type locks or the 22mm edge bore type? |

Was a pretty simple fix, I just made a piece that slipped inside the old lock hole and glued it in, then filled the handle holes with some pine I cut with the hole saw glued in place, sanded it and wood putty, you would never know |

Run Auto Parts.
They’ve recently paired with a third-party platform to process online sales, only it doesn’t give you a guest checkout option. No way was I handing over nine-tenths of my identity and financial details to an entity I honestly was unfamiliar with, who were going to “securely store” my data. Run Auto Parts can say goodbye to $225 in sales this morning, and my ongoing business. |

It sucks when big corporations do this - you reminded me of Marty here complaining when his favourite chinotto went off the market. And I haven’t forgiven Golden Circle for icing their sliced pickled cucumber, it was next level - Eskal pickles just aren’t the same.

EUPHGEMISM's. are creeping into our vocabulary. In my opinion one of most vague is Bathrooms. Rest room was bad enough. In the bathroom, when does one use, the basin, the bathtub or can the shower recess be used for everything ?
At Elliott on the Stuart Highway the dunnies at the hotel were categorised Ewes and Rams, which was which, work it out. (unintentionally leading into the story of the accountant who suffered from constipation. He used a pencil to work it out.) |

when cranking around some downhill corners in the truck when the accelerator pedals jams at WOT... scarey.
Hit the key real quick wondering like WTAF just happened. Being a fly by wire truck, I figured it was having a brain fart.. as they can do... but NO, turns out it was a whole lot simpler. I broke my barrel ratchet strap bar a while back and had the broken bit beside my seat.. it somehow, in all the excitement of fangin an empty truck through the hills, the broken bit of rod found it's way here: Scarey, but I saved it. Cheers, One Man

Bumped the tailgate of my tray into an outward-leaning melaleuca bough this afternoon, annoyingly close to one corner - so it tore the metal.

Body corp managers, they are useless. All I need is an invoice to chase shit up myself even though they should be doing it and they can't even give me that!

My mum sent me a text this evening. Haven't spoken to her for a little bit but thats just what it is.
So i called her as opposed to texting back, i thought that was the appropriate thing to do. She was doing what i do, big manning the subject. I was getting a bit upset about it. She had a heart attack. She is recovering well, but still. I only have 1 mum. Anyone know where i can get industrial rolls of bubble wrap for wholesale prices? |

What was a dud address? The eBay URL you were connecting to? If so, change your password immediately.

If you follow the screen dumps in order, that's how it happened.. Please verify yourself. Ticked the box. Clicked the images that matched. Ticked that box. And the final screen saying Oop's that's not a match. I destroyed the window and opened a fresh window (browser session) and no dramas.. It was just: a 'Geez I hate that' moment.. No password theft goin on there man. Cheers, One Man
