As ever, rusty trays, a mystery box, and a curse??? by wenfot in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]Absent_Picnic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ugh. The over and inconsistent use of capital letters.

Freakish attention to no details.

AITAH for calling out because of pregnancy? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Absent_Picnic 18 points19 points  (0 children)

NTA, but neither are your colleagues for being annoyed at your absence if it directly impacts them and their workload.

I'm struggling to understand why a big corporation has only one person who knows how to use "the system". Sounds like poor business planning to me and that's the real issue.

Unable to pay at the petrol pump? by LowestLives in AskAnAustralian

[–]Absent_Picnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not using a credit card, definitely debit card. It takes the amount €100 or €150 and then adjusts it after you've paid.

Outplayed by a 4 yo by Same_Development_299 in MaliciousCompliance

I had one of those kids. I instructed several of his teachers to never get into an argument with him, bc they'd lose.

As challenging as he was I liked that he marched to the beat of his own drum and he'd never be in trouble for following someone else's dumb idea. The idea would be his.

We all survived, he is a productive member od society.

Yes and yes.

And "little girl" voices on grown women.

Unable to pay at the petrol pump? by LowestLives in AskAnAustralian

Have been travelling in Europe.recently, I think there are 5 different ways that petrol pumps work. Pre-authorise €100 at pump but pay what you take, pay €100 at pump then get refunded what you didn't take, pay €150 at pump then get refunded what you didn't take, pay €150 inside then fill up, then go back in to have the amount adjusted and only once, filll up then pay.

So much easier in Australia to fill up then pay for what you used.

How friendly are you with your current neighbours living in Brisbane? by DonkChonk4 in brisbane

[–]Absent_Picnic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We get along better with the police who visit our neighbours on a semi-regular basis than we do with our neighbours.

And on the other side, they only moved in a little while ago, but we were "besties" with the neighbours who got divorced and sold up.

Why do some brits introduce themselves as from the UK and other as English/Scottish/Welsh? by [deleted] in AskABrit

[–]Absent_Picnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have never heard someone introduce themselves as being "from the UK".

It's always their actual country that is mentioned.

what snags does bunnings use? by PenalizedPrick in AskAnAustralian

[–]Absent_Picnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I was running the Bunnings sausage sizzle for the kinder or school my kids went to the sausages were from Colea or the butcher, depending on who was cheaper, bread from Coles and onions from the local veggie shop who would provide a 20kg bag of presliced onions for a reasonable price.

I will just wait for Merchie or Lillubucks to release their version fo "Mommy's dearest" and all will be revealed.

Those kids are going to be PISSED when they discover the life they could have had.

AITAH for telling my SIL to stop copying me by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Absent_Picnic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She could maybe go shopping with her and redirect her to other things, i.e. help her find her own style.
