hidden charges annoy me!
why can't websites be upfront about ALL charges when you are looking to book accommodation
found a lovely looking hideaway and website tells me $330 for 3 nights
made a query about the property and availability for dates and get given a price of $684 ... $354 difference
cleaning charge $100 - ok will wear that one but they did call it 'optional' and we can clean up after ourselves!
but still ... where is the other $284?
they are already asking for the $500 refundable bond on the property as well ... so ummmm kinda not having the same happy feels about the place now ...
feel a change of plans coming on ...

and another thing
would people just stop turning a corner off a main road and coming to a total stop in the middle of the road despite there being cars behind them (ALSO turning off main busy road with traffic building up behind them because they've been forced to stop just right at corner!!!) to allow someone to get out of the car?
and if the passenger absolutely MUST get out can they do so quickly and not stuff around getting things out of the back seat or the boot ...
and DON'T GIVE ME A JAUNTY LITTLE WAVE when you're done - because I'm more concerned someone is going to collect the rear end of my car as they sweep around the corner to find us stopped RIGHT BLOODY THERE!!!
inconsiderate @(#$(@*#)@()$*$*#(##*#(@@(_)%(&*&^#@#$*)&#@)*@!!!!
no I didn't toot them ... I didn't gesture at them ... nor yell at them ... but I did give them the crimmy death stare!!!!

Total lack of situational awareness on their part. I hate that and have had that happen to me too. Makes you wonder how self important they must feel to block traffic like that and not even be aware of how much they are pissing off the other drivers.

I've had a situation like that and I slammed my horn on, because I could see cars slamming on their brakes behind me.
I've used my horn like 3 times since having my licence and that was one of them.

Now now, people are entitled to their opinions....usually based on a 20 year old study....which was found 1 year later to be botched....which the guy behind was charged for fraud with....

I fully support and encourage vaccinate although I believe in autonomy so don't totally like the forced component. However I myself was not vaccinated as a baby and it's almost embarrassing. It's funny too because my step dad is a doctor, I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when my mum told him that piece of trivia.

Yeah, I don't like the forced thing either mainly because I don't like telling people what to do.

LOL! Omg that's love right there.
I don't mind as long as the decision is an informed one, I know studies can be painful to read but that really is the best way to educate yourself about things.

Hahaha yep, totally!
And yes I agree with your second paragraph 100%. I feel like the majority of anti vaxxers have arrived at that stance through some vague or abstract means, especially when they can't explain their reason in a simple but concrete way. I have one friend who is conscientious objector but she will explain very coherently and concisely why she is and references actual real science and I actually have no problem with her because she has made an informed decision and is far from a loon about it. Sadly she is in the minority though. There should be a test of some kind where you have to prove you are making an informed choice for your child or something.
a pox on the cockatoo (or possum I guess) that has ravaged the beautiful orchid we had hanging on our back verandah ... flowers and stakes chomped and strewn over the back stairs - what a mess! Its not like it actually ate the flowers either - just broke it all and dropped it on the ground
was 3 long spikes with multiple beautiful flowers - now pruned back to one spike and a stump with two flowers ... stake just broken in two ... two clumps of flowers and lots of individual flowers just tossed aside for nothing!
of a whole string of hanging baskets why pick only that one - the others have geraniums in them - and I don't like geraniums that much!!!
we don't feed them - we don't encourage them - why'd they pick on MY ORCHID!!!

...today I worked out in the front garden and got done what I wanted to get done so I came inside to have a shower... having had said shower I then came into my computer room for some computer time... I decided to have a quick glance at what I did to see what it looked like from inside the house... there was a small bit of blustery wind outside...
...as I was looking at my work that I had done the wind was blowing an empty plastic shopping bag on the other side of the road all the way down our street from about 3 houses back... I repeat... on the other side of the road... as I was watching the plastic bag wafting around in the gust of wind it suddenly veered towards my garden...
...I'm sitting there looking out of the window saying to myself... "don't come over here so that I have to grab it and put it in the bin... just don't!"... they always end up in my garden and I always have to do the work to put it in the bin... (it's an ongoing thing... they never end up in other peoples gardens... just mine!)... so guess what happens?... it blows over into my garden and snags itself onto an exposed branch on a bush that has been trimmed a couple of days before...
...I just said... "bloody typical!... it ALWAYS happens to me!... why does it always happen to me?"... I thought to myself... stuffit!... I'm not getting up out of my computer chair... I'm not going to the front door... I'm not going to walk all the way over to there... I'm not going to put it in the garbage bin!"...
...I turned my back on it and started to busy myself on the computer... I looked out there 5 minutes later... (it was still flapping around and still attached to that branch)... I looked again a few minutes later... (the damn thing was still flapping)... again... (still flapping)... I lasted a full 20 minutes!... then I cracked and said... "fuckit! fuckit! fuckit!"... I got up... stomped to the front door with the shits... opened the screen door and slammed it behind me... I walked halfway up the driveway swearing my head off and another gust of wind blew it loose and it wafted off down the street on it's way to wherever!!!!!...
...that little bastard waited for me to crack and then freed itself!... I bloody well know that it did!... that rotten little mongrel!... jeez I hate when inanimate objects beat me!... (have a rum Sticky!... settle petal!)... I dunno... sometimes things are put on this planet just to piss me off sometimes... I'm certain of it!... cheers.
