Wgmg:  driving the speed limit in the 60 zone and getting beeped doing the correct  speed

WGMG: When you go into a retail store and an enployee basically chases you to ask "hey hows your day been?/how are you?" Etc etc... i hate it.

  I tend to not buy from places that have workers that annoy me, i expect them to be ready to help when i ask, not when I've walked in and haven't look at anything. 

WAGMG: When your in a store and there is never anyone to help you when you need it.

We dont want to do it... but if managment sees us not doing it we get told off. We all argue that its stupid but we cant do much.

Also when there is no staff dont take it out on us. Its just as hard on us as is it is on you. The other day because i was the only one rostered on i didnt get a break untill 2.15 i started at 7am.

Ive never taken it out on anyone, the main offenders are sports stores and surf shops. 
I walked into strapper surf shop in geelong. It's a bit larger than your average retail surf shop... 12 people i could see that were visibly employees... being the bored hangalong husband. I got asked no less than 6 times how my day was... but never asked if they could help me... i don't want a friend... i want some motherf@#&ing pants.

Totally understand if places are busy when i need help but If you want to know what I've been doing this weekend but don't have the time to get me a bigger pair of shoes... ill go somewhere else. 

Id like to know what idiot thought it would be good to hassle people the second they walk in the door, surely you would let people look for a minute and then approach (preferably when their body language says they arent finding what they want) rather than harassing them right in the doorway. It makes no sense. 

I agree man. Again ive argued this to be extremely stupid i usually give people a few mins to look around unless they come up to me. Though like i said our manager and higher ups give us a scolding out the back if we dont do it. We all legit feel dumb asking people especially when you have about multiple people in the same area.

WGMG:

Microsoft. Whether it's:

- Their pathetic customer support

- Their pointlessly strict security measures if you can't remember your password (How the fuck am I meant to remember at least two people I've emailed recently or what the emails were titled- especially if it's an account I don't use much?)

On top of the fact my password curiously seems to change the moment I try to access my outlook account from my iPad as opposed to my laptop?

I'm well and truly done with them. There was a reason my old password was: Fuckoutlook with numbers at the end and I've been freshly reminded of it.

Fuck Microsoft and they can join HP as another company I hope metaphorically gets its' heart ripped out and lowered into the fiery pit of bankruptcy, 'Temple of Doom' style. Either that or they get bought out by a company with better customer service who actually has a clue...

Apple is worse.

If you forget your iCloud shit you're fucked.

Turns a $600+ iPad into a stubby coaster.

I don't have an iCloud account, but thanks for the warning.

Yeah, it's handy if you wanna protect your device and find it when lost/stolen, but phwoar ever forget the password and you're up shit creek.

Apple support will flat out not reset a password for ANYONE (if you can't remember secret question details etc).

It's compounded too by the fact that when they give you a hint of the email address used they literally just give you the first letter and nothing else.

Often things are the way they are for a reason.
A bit of a long read but this is the sort of thing that can happen when the security questions are too lax

WGMG: Spent tonight's derby reeking of spew and alcohol because some dickhead threw up all the beer he'd just consumed all over me on the way from the train station.

WGMG: I need $2250 to build the PC I want.

Should I just spend that on a car and give myself a chance to get laid instead?

Wow, the worst. I feel for ya pal. 

WGMG: spilt burning hot coffee all over me yesterday, still burns. 

Did that getting into a car once, never again do I balance coffees in front of me near the wheel, straight to the centre console, then get in the car.

You only get burnt once!

:lol: I had no excuse, was on a beanbag in my loungeroom :lol:

Aaaaaand due to laziness I decided it was easier to throw the beanbag out than wash it :lol:

LOL.

Well emptying/filling a beanbag is like soul destroying as well.

Totally understand.

Just finished a short trip with a disorganised, erratic, hypocritical narcissist. The signs were always there but the prolonged time definitely confirmed it. A German of Middle Eastern heritage which influences a lot of loyalties and opinions.

You make one simply positive observation such as 'oh that's a nice house' a you'll be given a 20min history and property analysis of the whole UK. Then tonnes of unsolicited advice on finance, career and business from a guy who selectively stayed unemployed for 5 years. Constantly being told he knows it all because he did some reading all while being told London is an international city every 5 minutes.

I'll admit I did have a fault on the first night by impatiently snapping while he insisted on eating at midnight after a full day of trekking and a few beers. Just the timing and then the typical 40 min duration to eat at a seedy McDonald's after a long day got me. We made up and things were fine fued wise and didn't but bring up our quarrel  but 3 days of having to listen to so much garbage and experience erratic behaviour really did my head in.

This is a bloke who also wanders off in a crowded station to grab a coffee without saying something, questioning my decision not to let him use expensive roaming from my phone free of charge  to contact his kids to ask about gifts and having to go to a second restaurant because he's not full and having to sit and hour sipping water while I hear my siblings and myself must have failed somewhere and that's why we left the UK after our gap year. Gap has a pretty clear definition of temporary here.

I really think it's time to wind this down and stay scarce.

WGMG: Extra time is dead.

Used to be a fun place, now there's a half a dozen posts a day if that. 

This. People being allowed to shitpost and no bans being handed to trolls have ruined the place over time.

Mods?

What mods?

ever since the merger with insidesport?

Also the singular threads for tennis, afl, nrl being put as separate subforums, whereas a single thread was good enough here?

Yeah, the new layout sucks tbh

Wgmg: when people ignore you then annoy yout when  they have  nothing  to do at work. 

WGMG:

How difficult it is to watch the EPL live in 2017 if:

a) You are NOT an Optus subscriber
b) You don't live close to a major city centre with a bar open that has Optus
c) You own a Mac

Surely- SURELY there must be a live-streaming site that isn't teeming with pop-up ads that block the screen every 5 seconds, when the action doesn't freeze for 10 seconds at a time. SURELY there's a better way to watch the game than following the play by play via Fox Sports live update? Surely....

adblock + /r/soccerstreams is your friend

WGMG: old retired people who do shit outside of business hours. FFS stop making big queues at the mechanics & banks when the productive people have 0.5-1 hours to actually accomplish it and how about you do your shit during the hours that you actually have available. I swear when I retire one day I'm not leaving the house before 9 and after 3, just in respect to the productive society members.

Haha I love this.

What shits me the most is soccer mums at shopping centres on the weekend. Like FFS some of us have like 1 day a week to accomplish stuff. We don't want to be behind you walking like a snail with your 6 howling kids through Kmart :laugh:

WGMG: Toe injuries. Kicked the wall with my follow through for a shot in indoor soccer and somehow broke the middle toe. I don't think I really even use it when I walk/run, all but the big toe and second toe seem pretty much paralysed when I try to bend them individually, but now I can barely do either because of the pain.

WGMG: Trying to landscape our backyard. Im not very good at this type of stuff but weve got a stupid colourbond fence and the neighbours builders cut their site vertically right on the fenceline meaning anytime i touch anything along the fenceline more and more of our yard falls into theirs.

They appear to have finished landscaping their yard and the kicker is our builders built our soil against the fence so I've got about 400mm of soil to take away from the fence. 

Really shitty cause i just want to get grass on the backyard for the dog. 

WGMG: Ankle's still stiff and a bit dodgy cos I'm a lazy fuck who can't be arsed doing stretches thrice a day
