What cheeses me off

Wife is housekeeper at motel.

Last week one of the rooms had poo flung all over the walls. What sort of disgusting filth behaves this way? L

There’s a certain type of person who thinks if they pay for something they can do what they like and damn anyone else. Obviously including flinging faeces all over the wall.
 
… that Mariah Carey song we keep hearing this time of year… I break out in a rash just thinking about it..
I've been so devoid of Christmas cheer this year that I haven't touched any of my Christmas jumpers and have only been to 1 Christmas market, which was only a byproduct of catching up with a friend!
 
We aren't big on presents for Christmas now that the gkids are 18 & 16 but we do a Kris Kringle/Secret Santa for our family at Christmas lunch.
Just wrapping the presents now and have run out of sticky tape 🤦‍♀️
 
I think dentists have fantastic sense of humour.

I have 2 broken teeth that are not fully broken and need to be removed. Cost is $394 per tooth and with laughing gas bill comes to around $1200. Medibank doesn't cover much. Now another tooth has broken next to one of the other broken ones.

Please send me a treatment plan. And I received an email with a cost of $3800 to remove 3 teeth, 9 fillings and laughing gas.

I struggled to justify $1200 and if they think email would change my mind they are kidding.

We called some dentists in Thailand mainly dental hospital in Chiang Mai. Tooth extraction is between $50 and complex $150. Fillings are $30-$50 and laughing gas is $50 to maxinum $100.

I can have a holiday in Thailand and get my teeth done for the price they want here. Ridiculous.

Agree.

I have been going for any dental work in Thailand for years.

My last annual check-up involved a 360 degree-3D scan, teeth cleaning, and a tiny gum-line filling.

795 baht.

And that’s at a top dental clinic in Bangkok.

My father’s crown and bridge work in Collins Street… AUD16000. Same dental clinic in Bangkok $3200. The crowns and bridge fitted so well on the first visit they cancelled the follow up leaving my folks at a loose end for a week!
