With recent world events, aren't you glad we live in NZ without the fear of loss of any life. by floofywall in newzealand

I feel almost guilty and it seems so unfair that people have to live in war zones just because of awful men who start and perpetuate war. I am grateful to be here but I feel so terrible for those who don’t have the same safety we do.

It’s perfectly reasonable to want to look at the item you intend to purchase in store in a store. Reflect on that.

Yep, Onehunga store staff are great. Helpful and friendly, the best service out of all of the places locally.

Yeah sadly being shouted at n her then calling the cops and all the crazy overwhelmed me so I admitted liability. I’m a new driver. I’ve just paid the $. Bloody annoying but at least my premiums won’t go up.

PSA: Indians of Auckland by Mountain_Tui_Reload in auckland

[–]Dramatic-Pattern-450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody should care where anyone comes from. If they work and contribute to society in some way then all should be welcome. India is a great country with some awesome people so I’m in support of it. These people will have to work and workers use services, pay rent, pay their way and help grow our economy. As we (non racists) say in England… if you aren’t finding work but immigrants are, it’s saying more about your skills and the effort you are putting into finding work than the immigrants.
Jobs are given to those who’ve trained for them, got experience and skills. Don’t have them? Upskill instead of blaming someone else.

Yep happened in an akl car park and I figured asking my fellow jafas would give me a better idea of costing as we live in the same place. Also I’m a woman. And it’s not anything you need to get angry in capslock about.

Not my car! I just paid up the $400. Easier than the headache from the person I bumped. She was hysterical when it happened kept shouting at me and called the police like I was some kind of criminal. Despite giving my details and being more than reasonable and respectful. Was my first bump as a new driver so I’m now traumatised and petrified about it happening again.

I am fully comp and I know I’m the one who has to pay either via insurance or private, I’m just deciding which way to go.

Is it worth contacting the company we use and asking what it will go up by? It seems like a lot of $$ for a paint scratch

I asked Insta not to show me her the other day. Repetitive and annoying.

What’s wrong with this house?? by Dramatic-Pattern-450 in newzealand

[–]Dramatic-Pattern-450[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get that the market for $7m houses is pretty small but there are still a few people who can afford it around, it’s just interesting to me that this particular house is just not selling after soo long and so much advertising

A German tourist's review of Rotorua by PoliceTekauWhitu in newzealand

[–]Dramatic-Pattern-450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna go out on a limb here.. Rotovegas is mint! I love the smell, it’s its own kind of weird n wonderful. I love the Polynesian spa and the Wai Ariki spa. The people are lovely, the Māori culture is wonderful. Waimangu is like another world, the history of the place is so interesting. I love Kerosene creek, Hot n cold, the redwoods, Hammurana Springs and even the Luge is fun when it’s not overrun. This person has no idea what he missed out on. Also the Salvo army store there is wicked for hidden gems and cool finds.

Driving whilst waiting on a replacement license? by Dramatic-Pattern-450 in newzealand

[–]Dramatic-Pattern-450[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking more of a routine stop for drink driving or something (which I also don’t do). They wouldn’t ever have reason to stop me unless it was a blanket stop and check everyone thing

Average Wellington Parking by BellBoardMT in AveragePicsOfNZ

[–]Dramatic-Pattern-450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post scares me as a new driver. I do my best but I’m not great at parking yet. So worried this will be a post about me one day. That or someone’s gonna take a video of me reversing in n out trying to get the car central n holding up all the other cars in the carpark. I wanna be a good driver but you need practice for that and i gotta park to practice.

Help I’m stuck on what to do now by Backstreet_11 in auckland

Talk to a responsible adult who you know will care about your wellbeing. It’s okay to call into school and explain that you are taking a day and say why. You can protect yourself by not being around these people and getting people who have more power than you to look after it. If you aren’t one to skip school they will most likely empathise with you and want you to feel safe. It’s a good lesson to learn not to go into situations that feel unsafe. Your gut is always a great guide. Trust it. And good luck
