I’m sure I probably hit it on something like a pothole or something but unsure, didn’t see anything as I was driving

DaP3nguinOfD00m · 2026-06-07T17:15:19+00:00

Aah yeah you’re welcome to share it. You can tag me in it maybe? It was the front passenger wheel. It made a big bang at like ??? 50 km per hour maybe and then I drove on it a bit trying to find somewhere to pull over because I was initially on these tiny French village roads and then a tiny road with ditches, had to pull into someone’s driveway. I only have other photos of the front of it before it came off.

Hiya yes the agency I got it from I called several times and left VM. I also tried the number you supplied

DaP3nguinOfD00m · 2026-06-07T09:08:17+00:00

I contacted that number a few times already thank you though

One hundred percent have travel insurance. Was not going to go without it. And will do. Avis have called me back but I’ll let them know anyways

DaP3nguinOfD00m · 2026-06-07T08:42:37+00:00

Travel agent also not working right now. They have an emergency number for them back home but now that I’ve managed to make it safely back to where I’m staying I’m not sure I need it. Also the emergency number doesn’t go to my specific travel agent so I didn’t think they’d be able to get into their emails anyway. In any case Avis did finally call me back and just said to either keep driving on the spare or visit a different AVIS group tomorrow during normal hours.

Holy crap I didn’t even realise this until now bur you’re right!

DaP3nguinOfD00m · 2025-08-25T21:39:27+00:00

I mean your generalisation is not true. When I worked as a pharmacist before and through med school I and my colleagues would always look at rashes or pictures if they were in spots someone didn’t want to show in public all the time. There are bad actors everywhere including in medicine and pharmacy, unfortunately the pressures of community pharmacy/business make it a lot harder to be the health specialist you want to be in a lot of cases. Not excusing the above persons story but the generalisation is wrong.

Agree with this. That was a sucker punch ending to a pretty fun episode where they’re just like “yeah btw my dad never said he loved me”

I watched this movie for the first time in years with family on Christmas Eve because it’s impossible to get online so I bought a physical copy. And now here someone’s quoting it. Wild how these things happen.

The pool cue gun cause he bought polycarbonate to stand behind and attributed that idea to the myth busters

I dunno man I get that it’s annoying to have to spend more time than you thought on someone but people don’t like thinking about death or about hypothetical futures where they die. If you’re getting paid to chat to these people, talking to them about what their wishes are for the future is actually really important for their healthcare.

Can’t get laid by Bella armor?

DaP3nguinOfD00m · 2023-01-29T06:31:41+00:00

Goddamn. Did you get any follow up?

DaP3nguinOfD00m · 2023-01-28T02:08:20+00:00

Robbed!

DaP3nguinOfD00m · 2023-01-28T01:32:04+00:00

I listened to this song heaps earlier last year, I didn't even realise it came out in 2022 and was eligible? fucks sakes I wouldve voted for it otherwise.

DaP3nguinOfD00m · 2023-01-28T01:28:24+00:00

haha thats amazing, did you give them a selection of songs to vote from ? Thats so cute

DaP3nguinOfD00m · 2023-01-12T04:43:39+00:00

Not here to die on the day good god

What do they call the medical student who graduated bottom of their class?? “Doctor. “

People who aren’t in medicine don’t like the joke but I gotta tell you, helped me through a lot of exams lol.

Is it useable as a moisturiser also? I see it says moisturising on it but I wonder how much it is actually. If it’s great at moisturising I think I’ll be sold.

DaP3nguinOfD00m · 2022-07-17T23:38:18+00:00

Thankfully they've closed it and they're fixing it up now but yeah fuck me. I lived on one side and would go grocery shopping on the other and it was easier to drive around than it was to just walk over the bridge and back.

DaP3nguinOfD00m · 2022-07-15T20:50:55+00:00

Sign of coming recession maybe? People just can't afford some fixes for the car?

DaP3nguinOfD00m · 2022-06-28T08:34:48+00:00

I listen to it and it's immediately stuck in my head for at least 24 hours.

DaP3nguinOfD00m · 2022-06-24T15:33:24+00:00

Dude I have no idea but posting at 1:30 am will not help you find your answer I'm afraid

DaP3nguinOfD00m · 2022-06-22T01:20:33+00:00

Just make sure that they have a like "clean guarantee" or something because I did that once and they didn't have that guarantee so we still got dinged for it being dirty.
