What cheeses me off

You have to be either <expletive> stupid and/or <expletive> rude...

Security scanner line...

• Roll your tray as far to the end as it can go, then pick up your stuff. Don't do it at the outlet and block all the other trays while you get your <expletive> together.
• If you need to, take your tray off the line and to a bench. Now you're not in the way.
• Once you're done with your tray, return it to the end of the conveyor or in the hopper. Don't leave it on the conveyor.

So <expletive> sick of seeing the conveyor outlet crowded with half a dozen trays because conceited inconsiderate <expletive in plural> can't be bothered to push them into the hopper. Way to back the whole line up, dropkick idiots.

Just unprepared, unfamiliar with how it works, not wanting to do the wrong thing, and unaware of their surrounds.

I was sitting on skybus a few weeks ago, a young couple, very early 20s, were already checking off their ‘preparedness’ for the flight… including already having having turned all phones to flight mode!! And this was 5 mins out of Spencer Street, with another 20 mins to go until even reaching the airport. They has a,so weighed their cabin bag (6.5 kilos) but were worried their water bottles would push them over the limit!

They were also heavily concerned that the bus would arrive at the airport 2hrs10mins before their flight (JQ) and they feared they may miss the recommended check-in time of 2 hours.

You see the same thing at the entrance to the cabin bag x-ray… people all line up behind bay 1, instead of lining up behind all the bays. These people don’t want to appear ‘rude’ by pushing in (even though they’re not).

So I can completely understand some folk wouldn’t think to move their tray down… they’re overwhelmed with the process, and don’t want to do anything ‘wrong’. So they just do what everyone else does… which is grab their stuff immediately it comes out, and don’t shuffle down to make room for others!

A benefit in having my wheelchair and being able to take it to the plane door is bypassing the scanner and getting a pat down nd explosives test. Bypassed the long queue of JQ passengers.

WCMO is thinking you've had a win with the insurance premium only to discover the fella you spoke with on the phone buggered it up.

Just as well I did not pay over the phone when requested yesterday. Word of advice to the unwary. Thought it was sorted only to open the email pdf to discover the agreed value reduced by $5k. Called again this morning and had the original quote re-instated and thanked for my many years of custom and offered a $50 premium reduction. Would I like to pay over the phone? No, thanks I'd like to receive the email quote first .

@Denali has a sprinkler system that may assist........

Works like a charm once you dial it in and effective. Had a couple of people hanging outside 84yr mum in laws bedroom at 2am and this went off and Ive never seen a person jump that high or fast before. They never returned

Got my car serviced and they disconnected my dash cam. No idea why.

I nearly got wiped out on the way home and didn't realise until I went to check the footage and not connected. Very p!ssed off.

I believe its common practise, Ive had it happen a couple of times but my current dash cam was installed professionally and the wires cant be seen so I dont see how they can disconnect it

Just pull the power cable out where it joins the camera.
