That's just shit and I would have fought that one but can see why you didn't.
I had the opposite happen. Was stuck in shit traffic so texted my partner to meet me blah blah it was a dumb thing to do. Cops were hiding behind a wall and walked into traffic and knocked on my window and told me to pull over.
He asked me if i knew why i was pulled over. I said coz i was using my phone (i mean it was blatant). He asked why i was using it. I answered "is there anything i can say that will get me out of a fine?". He said no and instantly didn't like my attitude (they like you to beg + had metal long hair then too and he was about as uptight moustached cop as you could get).
He asked me to wait up against his car while he did something so I did. He walked over and asked me aggressively why i was leaning on his car and to show some respect right in my face. I said you asked me to wait up against your car and i always follow orders sir...so on top of the fine he defected my car for the smallest amount of balding on the tires youve ever seen aha damn my mouth.

The joys of taking things literally. People ask you to do something, you do it to the T so they're happy with your work.... aaaand the opposite happens.

When i was 19 i was on my P plates a and driving my mums car for the day. I got pulled over and got the regular "do you know why I've pulled you over?" I had no idea, i thought i was maybe going to be picked on because my P plate was slightly faded.
He then proceeds to tell me i have an obstructed licence plate, i didn't know how, i get out and take a look... its the fucking tow ball. I was so pissed off, its not my bloody car, i have to cop the points but im not paying the fine. I was told i can drive it home and remove the towball and it would be good.
Get home tell my parents and dad goes mental, so now I'm getting blasted... but not for getting a fine, for not telling the cop where to go.
Turns out in the cars towball is not detachable, not one part came off, it was part of the main body of the car, the ball didn't even screw off! It was exactly how it rolled out of the factory, the number plate was also in the correct position, what the hell was i supposed to do? Plus how many of these commodores were made like this.
Anyway dad funded for it to be taken to court, proved that everything was factory and legal, still copped the fine and the points, stating that new laws had come in since the car was built and that we needed to fix the car for it to be level.
Dad was so annoyed he grinded the towbar off rather than putting dodgy holes in the panelwork. The kicker was mum couldn't get her car insured because of the damage to the cars body from grinding the tow bar...
Some drunk idiot crashed into it about 6 months later

+x+x+x+x+xThe end result of emotional blackmail like this are things like our ridiculous seat-belt laws and the MDT's- both of which (in their current state) are clearly just thinly-veiled excuses to issue more fines and give law enforcement a licence to further invade a civilians' right to privacy.
Sorry but can you explain what you have against seat belts? (Or have I misread this.) I imagine his answer is it's nanny state bullshit and that people who are stupid enough to die deserve to die and they are just doing it so they can fine you $$ anyway (when you are too stupid to put your seatbelt on) Not quite... For instance you might know that as it stands, if you have a passenger in your car and they are found without their seatbelt on, not only do they receive a fine and loss of points but you also receives a fine and loss of points- and unless you have a dash cam or seat-belt chime for the rear seat of your car that can prove otherwise, you're fucked. Let me give you an example: During my 2 years moonlighting as an Uber driver, I picked up a bunch of young blokes one night in Broadbeach. They hopped in and once they were seated, I looked behind me to check they were fully in and sitting down, ready to go, like I always did. I asked if they were buckled in and we were ready to go, and they said they were. In the darkness I could see their belts tight across their lap and I'd heard the clicking of their seat-belts. Fair enough. So off we went... Now, this was the night club strip of the Gold Coast late on a Saturday night. My car was full, the roads were typically busy with traffic and I had the radio on- in between making conversation with my front seat passenger, checking my speed, keeping an eye on the stop-start traffic on the Gold Coast Highway and checking for idiots making a dash across the road. Basically, what any safe driver would do, right? We turn up a one-way street in Surfers when a cop van flashes its' lights behind us. I pull over, cops walk up and reckon I didn't use my indicator as I made the turn (I'm suspicious of this because I ALWAYS use my indicator- there are enough dickheads that don't, as is). Then he points out two blokes in the back seat who don't have their belts on. Fines and loss of points for these idiots in the back... and fine/ loss of points for me. I pointed out the absurdity of this to the cop there who rattled off the road rules, I'm not a taxi driver so if I crashed and the passengers died I'd be fucked etc etc textbook cop talk. Just another officer fresh on shift and eager to make a haul for his employers in an area that's a gold mine for law enforcement... I took the matter to court (because being a commercial driver, I needed every drivers' point I had). The actual court appearance was unbelievable. The arresting officer said as my car had turned up the street, one of the guys in the back had leaned right forward in his seat and that's when they'd flicked the warning lights on. Then when I took the stand, the Police prosecutor ran through all these ridiculous scenarios, looking for any line of reason, no matter how far detached from reality, to justify them upholding the charges against me. Essentially, because I stopped short of tugging each one of those pricks' belts when they got in to make absolutely sure they were buckled in- and because I had other things to be doing during the 10 minute trip (check my speed, watch the traffic in both lanes ahead of me, check my rear-vision mirror for cars behind me, watch for pedestrians, make friendly conversation with a paying rider etc) it was apparently still not good enough. Supposedly I should also have been checking every seat belt in the car every minute to make sure these morons in the back hadn't decided, at some point, to go "Hey, let's unclip our seat-belts- that'll make this trip better!" The Police prosecutor and the judge seemingly found it difficult to believe that a) I could have known they were all buckled in at the start, and b) I hadn't known this idiot in the back was leaning forward in the 10 seconds before the cops flashed their lights at me... So I fought the law, and the law won. They did so using all kinds of laughable arguments that never apply in the real world, just to maintain their case against me. I felt no malice towards the Police prosecutor or the arresting officer. But fuck me if it isn't a statement on how idiotic and over-regulated this country is, when I can be charged and fined because a bunch of guys old enough to vote, old enough to serve our country, old enough to drink and old enough to hit the clubs made the conscious decision to put their own lives at risk. It'd be different if these guys were young children- but it's basically like if somebody at a party smoked ice and I was charged for not stopping them. My grievance isn't with the cops- like any other job, there are fuckwits and there are decent ones. But I have a big problem with the system itself and how clearly it's been set up as a revenue raising scam, thinly disguised as giving a shit about the welfare of John and Jane Citizen. Unfortunately, too many people don't give a shit because beer footy cricket pokies renovation shows what about fuckin' Don Burke aye best country in the world straya caaaarnt at least we aren't like those muricans shooting each other every week aye- now pass me a beer caaarnt....
Well in this instance I do sympathise with you. I had my own run in with the police when I was pinged for going through a red light camera even though in the red light camera photos you could clearly see there was a green arrow and I had my blinker on. (The red light at the intersection was for continuing straight. A left turn was still permitted.) My crime? Leaving from the wrong lane. (There were 2 lanes heading straight, one swinging left. When I realised I was in the middle lane and needed to be in the left I put my blinker on and turned left crossing the white line perpendicular to the road with half a car, the other half being in the left lane). This was due, according to me, to the lack of arrows or signage on the approach to the intersection whereby the offence occurred. In addition the 'straight' lanes swept around to quite a hard right to continue straight (I exited left more or less straight ahead). I decided to contest it with photographic evidence of the intersection in hand and examples of better/normal intersection lane markings and signage. (This is not a great explanation I realise but rest assured the police prosecutor told me that complaints about this particular intersection had reached minister level on more than one occasion.) So here’s a tip don't waste your time contesting it. I took the day off work, went there, waited for hours, got called up before you front the judge (you meet the prosecutor and a police officer), tell them you want to plead not guilty and then they say to you 'well you need to come back on such and such a day' because they won't deal with it on that day. So then you need to take another day off and if it all goes wrong and they still find you guilty you need to pay the original fine plus court costs. Such a bunch of bullshit they put you through. No doubt to put others from doing the same. So I pleaded guilty, copped the original fine, a court imposed fee or some bullshit and a ‘victim’ levy. That’s when realised the whole thing is rigged against the average punter having a crack. Pay your money and shut up is what they want and apply no common sense. This makes me angry. I feel for you bro.

WGMG: People who use the fact it's current year (or. It's 2017 guizzze) as a factor in moral arguments. The only time you should use current year arguments is in public policy such as transport and tech debates. Not moral. Everyone have their own beliefs. Fuck off with trying to force others to adhere to yours.

It's all very narcissistic It's a big reason why I don't debate/argue with people. The fact there's not even the slightest hint at a moral middle ground is too frustrating

The other people pointless debating are those who (so conveniently) assume that anybody who disagrees with their precious opinions only does so because they're either uneducated or lacking in human decency. Like I said, how convenient for them that they always have the "right" opinions and just so happen to occupy the "right" bubble of thought...

If you disagree with the spastics who use these types of arguments you had better be sure you've checked your straight white male privilege haha.

Funny you say that, just this afternoon on Fb a girl I knew from back in the day posted a status going: 'Privilege is when you think something is not a problem because it's not a problem for you personally'. I was SO tempted to post, as first comment, something like 'Exactly! Like people who think that being a straight white male is a life on 'easy' mode and that they don't get discriminated against in any way'. What DID happen was, a friend of mine (who also happens to be an ex-housemate of hers) said 'So when you bought that awful cushion, and it offended me greatly but you thought it wasn't a problem because it wasn't a problem to you personally...Was that cushion privilege? #RealTalk'

I attend social events with a lot of men in theirs 50's and 60's being a mason. I used to have a pretty naïve point of view on old people who I thought were 'set in their ways'. Once you talk to people of that generation, its quite obvious that although they grew up in a more conservative time, tolerance of a lot of minority groups started with them.

WGMG: In the wake of the SSM vote you'd expect a few companies to get on the bandwagon- it makes perfect business sense and the rainbow colour scheme is a marketers' dream. But WGMG is the sheer volume of useful idiots lapping it up. You see them on these companies' Fb pages going 'OMG where do I get (insert product)' or 'Good on you guys for supporting equality, I'll be buying plenty of (insert product) #loveislove'. It fills me with disdain that people are gullible enough to fall for this shit and not see it for the blatant "How do you do, fellow kids?" stunt that it is. If I was a little more cynical I'd produce some shoddy merchandise with the rainbow flag and 'LOVE IS LOVE' written on it, sell it as a massively inflated price and make a killing... People like this are the reason our mainstream political parties have gone to shit and shows like 'Gogglebox' get produced. The males of the species are the ones who can't work out why they always crave KFC when watching the NRL on TV. The females of the species are the girls who the Day of the Dead tattoo, perfect haircut guys from Marconi's gym are banging on the regular...

At least your English is getting better. But you missed the 'like' in that sentence eg "At least I don't act like I do". Duolingo is great for bettering your verbal and written skills- check out the 'Languages' thread for other tips on learning our complex language. Now if you don't mind, it's a beautiful day outside and I'm off to the beach...

What grinds my gears? Every time "phobia" is spewed out , more often than not it happens when there is a weak or no argument for a point of view, and instead of mustering the energy and courage to debate, the phobia card is dished up to stifle debate and demonize anyone who thinks differently. Thankfully the tide is turning as people slowly realise how little power name calling has anymore and see exactly what political correctness is: an authoritarian Marxist construct . The emperor is dancing in the street but we are laughing at his raw nakedness. The fear is dissolving as people rise up to reclaim free thought and speech

WGMG: Australia Post. Was wondering why we hadn't had mail or any packages for 3 weeks. Turns out they had been redirecting our mail to our old address, some massive stuff up, this time last year we had a redirection from our old place to the current one whilst we were changing all our details with billers etc, somehow its reinstated 12 months later but switched addresses around so mail coming to our current address was going to our old address. Had been fighting with them for weeks in regards to packages not arriving and saying they will be redelivered then never showing up but they were confirming the correct address. Guys in our old place messaged to say they had our mail picked it up and it had the yellow sticker. Luckily we pay bills in advance but bloody licence and car rego is due!

I seem to have borrowed “How to fuck up your life in 3 easy steps” from the library and followed it to a tee this year.
God, I’ve made some awful decisions in 2017. I was in such a better place 12 months ago.
This place has been a sanctuary for me, being able to focus on football, zone out and read everyone’s comments to escape the world and momentarily forget some of the pain.
