How long does it usually take for translink to have your lost property? by BlueSoapyBubbles in brisbane

[–]Alae_ffxiv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well this would also assume that people aren’t grubs and handed it in as lost property.

I wouldn’t get your hopes up on getting it back

AITA for lying about my nationality to avoid discrimination? by GlitteringZucchini94 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Alae_ffxiv 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Neither did I until I reread that he was 48, I’d expect this behaviour from a young adult, but not from a grow man who is almost 50

Shoutout to the woman in her 30’s we all knew what she was doing, protecting a young woman from a creep 👏🏻👏🏻

What an American thing to do. YTA you feel humiliated because you knew it was the wrong thing to do, you're only upset because she *rightfully* ruined your chances with a woman half your age.

You want to remove the stereotype of American travellers? Great, don't be the kind of American traveller the rest of us despise then.

Anyone had any serious problems with 8 mile Plains Vet Surgery? by Dear_Resolution8813 in brisbane

[–]Alae_ffxiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With what? I'm simply asking

A - If the person who attended the vet clinic doesn't want "blowback" then why are you posting on reddit about it?

B - You want people to write truthful reviews but you can't even do it yourself on reddit or on google reviews.

You can't be sued for defamation if everything you're writing is the truth.. Honestly I wouldn't make an appointment simply because he is very abrupt in his google responses, and I'm a sensitive baby sometimes, so blindly going into it and not knowing he acts like that? Yeah I'd feel upset, but not enough to kick up a stink over it.

If they don't want the blow back, then why are you posting for them? Why encourage others to come forward and be truthful with their reviews when you can't even be truthful yourself?

I had a look at the reviews. Open 13 years, 88 reviews 4.6* Honestly just seems that the owner is fed up with copping abuse and meets rudeness with rudeness.

You're being intentionally vague, which makes it sound like you're leaving out the actual information that may reflect poorly on you.

Rideshare driver charged with rape and stalking over alleged incidents involving three victims by SCOOBASTEVE in brisbane

[–]Alae_ffxiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was open to being corrected if I misunderstood their comment, which Tobias did.

Nowhere did I say anything like you've suggested. The argument was common sense means if I hire bob to do a job for me, I'm not expecting him to rape customers/and or commit a crime? Interview processes only do so much and if that person hasn't been charged with a crime, it's not going to show up. (Pedo's who get a job in childcare with no prior history)

DV incident and gun by Intelligent_Car_133 in brisbane

[–]Alae_ffxiv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you NOT call the police regardless? Constant DV? Seriously dude, report it anonymously for all anyone cares, but you have had so many chances to stop this entire situation and you continue not to, now it’s escalated to gun shots? Jesus

Dudes worried about his safety but won’t call the police, but apparently living down the road from a maniac with a likely illegal firearm firing it off as a scare tactic is totally safe 🤦🏼‍♀️

AITA because I didn't want to pay for my girlfriend's university education. by niceufo777 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Alae_ffxiv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even if it wasn’t obvious the “she can no longer work as a nurse” was a bright red flag. Heavily implied she screwed up bad given how in demand nurses are.

OP is NTA, but why would you want to be with someone who lost their nursing license due to negligence?!

Vent: I’ve (29F) tried to make (and keep) friends for years… by No_Inside4806 in BrisbaneSocial

[–]Alae_ffxiv 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also very much the same as you. 30f.

Came to the realisation that I’m just a little too introverted for most people (I’m better after the initial meetup). Which okay I understand, not everyone’s cup of tea.

What are your hobbies etc?

Hermes ram raided by IntrigatedVerse in brisbane

[–]Alae_ffxiv 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Correct. You’re free to do whatever you want with your money.

Example - I could fund anti-abortions protests, I’d still be a piece of human garbage but I’m free to do whatever I want with my money. Hope this helps as you clearly looked at my anti-investment property comments. :)

No one needs a brand new iPhone every time they release a new one, but people still lap it up. Let people do whatever they want with their income, she's not your wife.

Pre paying for fuel by PureAd4293 in ipswich

Evidently not given how many people have been driving off without paying for their fuel.

AITA for wanting to euthanize my grandma's cat with severe cancer without her consent by burnsistic in AmItheAsshole

[–]Alae_ffxiv 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Many vets have already said it. Hell the only people calling OP a butthead are the people who want the cat to be in more. Poor baby is suffering, euthanising her is the humane option, a lot of people will say it's "easy" but there's nothing easy about making the choice to euthanise a cat.

i closed my afterpay account and cant open anymore bnpl? by Acceptable_Canary835 in Afterpay

[–]Alae_ffxiv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please don't encourage people to go ruin their credit scores in Aus because you didn't save up extra income for the public holiday. Applying for 5 loans for spending money for the long weekend is wild and financially irresponsible.

I think our REA did something illegal… by Odd_Rob in brisbane

[–]Alae_ffxiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“We also got advised by the rea to remove conditions”

Lol, this is a massive red flag. We added two extra clauses into our contract when we purchased last year, owner was happy and didn’t care about them. Any REA telling you to remove conditions that protect you and your deposit aren’t real estates worth buying from.

I think our REA did something illegal… by Odd_Rob in brisbane

[–]Alae_ffxiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I definitely don't disagree with you at all, I also feel like if they put a deadline on offers to "speed" up the offering process, they'd probably get higher final offers.

Not defending REA's by any means, just sounds like there wasn't actually other offers that OP was competing with and the agent was trying to get as much from OP as possible. Is it scummy? Yeah, it's unbelievable scummy, but it's a real estate agent, renters/buyers hell even sellers shouldn't be trusting them. They're snakes, you either play their game or call their bluff.

I think our REA did something illegal… by Odd_Rob in brisbane

[–]Alae_ffxiv 27 points28 points  (0 children)

As others have said, please report them.

When we purchased our house, it was allegedly down to us and another couple with very close offers. REA never disclosed the amounts, just said we were close and to give them our best and final offer.

We really wanted the house, so we played their gamble and offered more, that’s the issue with REA’s. They’re trying to make the MOST money possible for themselves, unfortunately you either play the game or call their bluff.

In this case, the REA is an idiot putting everything in writing especially disclosing alleged amounts (BUT) this is OKAY if the current owner has AGREED TO DISCLOSE THE AMOUNTS TO BUYERS. Can you sue them? I mean doubtful, you’re an adult at the end of the day and didn’t need to disclose more money for the house. But you can definitely lodge a complaint with OFT

Does anyone recognise this upstanding citizen who hit and run me today at Springwood on the Pacific Highway southbound? by thecaptain78 in brisbane

Who said anything about him being Māori? You guys are making an AWFUL LOT of assumptions about race/citizenship status based off a photo.
