What annoys you?

That was good and delivered quickly.

Breaking my little toe. It farking hurts to walk, and it ships me.

Careful when you’re walking. It’s freight with danger.

Only if he hasn’t reached haul age yet.

Fair dinkum you guys. I can barely container my laughter.

doing puns in here might be naugtical idea.

We’ll just have to sea what happens.

Buoy oh buoy this thread is sinking fast.

Someone needs to give things a little tug to help navigate it in the right direction.

I think we probably need to steerage back on course and return to the original premise of this thread at it’s berth.

I used to enjoy watching the news, it was something i picked up off my old man, where dinner was always promptly at 6:00 and we sat down and ate while viewing/talking about things. It was short, sharp to the point and generally interesting even when they had the odd light hearted story and it was precision personified virtually working in order from local, international to sport, weather.

That all went out the window some time ago, but even more so when the nightly news stretched to an hour long.

Now it’s constant previews of what’s coming up in sport/weather, special interest stories which are really just paid ads and my personal fave viral video sensations. I mean they are not even trying and it ■■■■■ me no end.

Brian Naylor would be turning over in his grave you bastards. Take a good ■■■■■■■ hard look at yourselves. I can just feel the brain cells dying, if I want reality TV i will go out of my way to find it. Just give me the news with no BS.

Newsreader: Something something happened somewhere and here’s the details. Now here’s such and such on scene.
On scene: Says same thing with footage of them standing outside.
Newsreader: Thanks now to such and such live for the latest.
On scene 2: Same images again, same story said again, no real update to what was already said.

Repeat.

And now, here’s an idiot in a helicopter, telling us how the freeway is farkin stacked like it always farkin is during peak hour.

Breaking my little toe. It farking hurts to walk, and it ships me.

Broke my little toe 26 days ago,though it wasn’t until 11 days after the event that it was confirmed as broken - Mine is still a little sore, though I walk OK - Doctor says 6 to 8 weeks for recovery - Also suggested it would be better if I broke any of the first three toes, because you are unable to walk and therefore usually a quicker recovery time.

It’s now just full of they stuff you said plus stupid puns that even the people on Blitz would cringe at.

Can I ask how you two broke your little toe?

They were playing a really rough game of “this little piggy” with each other?!

Can I ask how you two broke your little toe?

I feel like a goose. All the things I have done in my life and I had never broken a bone. Cracked ribs was all I’d managed. Then I break my farking toe slamming it hard into the tiny little leg thing (more of a block) on the back of the couch. A week and a half now and still nasty bruising on the foot. It’s ■■■■■■■ me off now. Just inconvenient.

■■■■ I hate Telstra.
I love them. Get to blame them for near on everything at work and the clients just go "ah righto" and stop arguing.

Once I rang them pretending to be my dad. I made no effort to change my voice, but the guy still believed I was “John” born in 1948 :smiley:


Had to call up our internet provider a couple of months ago. Won’t say who they are but their initials are TPG. Backstory was that my girlfriend (who is the account holder) was overseas, but the credit card details on the account (my card) had to be changed to update the expiry date and I couldn’t remember the password.

Went the honest route on the first call. Here’s the backstory, just want to update the card details and get on with the rest of my life. Nope, can’t do it, you’re not the account holder, sorry.

Hung up, called again. This time introduced myself as [girlfriend’s definitely not gender-ambiguous name] and provided the correct address, DOB and secret question. Lots of lengthy pauses as the agent fights the urge to call bullsht as loud as possible, but clearly can’t as I’ve jumped through the correct hoops without touching the edges. Details updated, account paid, happy days.

Slightly off tangent here but similar theme. I was visiting friends in SA once. We were all 16 and 17 piled into a P plater car which was a real novelty for a Victorian at the time. Decided to drive through for beer which was also pretty exciting.

Driver says to the guy serving “I’d like a
carton of beer please.”

Guy says with a confused expression “what kind of beer?”

“Um… drought?”

He gave us a box of west end despite that AND the Plates.

Is that a typo/misspelling, or did you literally use the word "drought"?

Banged it against the bedhead - First broken bone in my life.
