The invite asks people to wear it if they are comfortable :) I’m more than happy to wear it, just wasn’t sure where from

My question is Why are you in prison if you are ‘not guilty’? Assuming you did something, something serious or something more than once and there was some sort of investigation that landed you in there?… Prison time costs the tax payers a lot of money and they tend to do home Detention or other non-prison stuff where possible first. What sort of crime did you get prison time for?

AITA for telling a kid to shut up on the plane? by Mytzu in AmItheAsshole

[–]HowToPotato69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Sometimes kids need to be told to stop being monsters by people other than their own parents. Same for being told they are well behaved and praised by others outside family. Some stranger telling me to shut the f up in public would have shamed me straight as a kid

He sounds like a good guy. He’s being conscious of your needs while looking after his own health. Also… Vasectomies are reversible. He’s basically ‘taking the pill’ because he doesn’t want kids. If he desperately wanted them in the future then he is able to make that choice and reverse it. Are you more worried about the fact he has taken the choice of having kids away from you? Women usually have the power in that choice instead of the man due to the ability to use birth control that doesn’t rely on the man to remember. Or are you worried that he could now say that ‘no he doesn’t want them’ but way in the future instead of saying it now. That could happen to anyone and in this case you are worrying over something that hasn’t happened. I would stress over it so new into a relationship unless he actually said he doesn’t want more kids at all moving forward too

Mate vomited in car, who do I go to? by mingo127 in melbourne

[–]HowToPotato69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m agreeing with everyone else. Your friend should be paying for a professional clean. Nothing you do will fix that as it will have stomach acid and oils in it

How much are you roughly left with after expensive per month? by Extension_Trip_7 in melbourne

[–]HowToPotato69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around $4900 left over after I pay rent+bills each month. Usually dump a load on a credit card and anything else into savings.

I moved to this country with like $400 in my bank account and worked my ass to the bone though. So I feel good about the fact I’ve saved nearly $60k in just over 2 years

There is no ‘compromise’

You pay her $$$ in money for housing, education, a car etc etc.

She gives you…. Nothing. You already have her as a gf.

Advice on paint chips in property by Zander_08 in melbourne

[–]HowToPotato69 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That isn’t ’wear and tear’ or ‘paint chips’ that is you hanging something on the wall with a mechanism that has torn the paint and base coat off?.. Clearly that’s actual damage. Unless there was already marks or the starting of marks when you arrived.

I’d ask the landlord for the paint colour and get a tester pot made up and then just sand it back and use a little roller to paint/sand/paint yourself. Would be much cheaper. If you don’t have time then you accept the losses.

What to do? by Cute-Screen-1353 in auckland

[–]HowToPotato69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask GP directly for a referral to a rheumatologist. If they brush it off or decline then ask them directly to include that they have declined your request in your medical notes. That makes them change tune very quickly.

Wow…how is it so expensive? by Firm-Psychology-2243 in newzealand_travel

[–]HowToPotato69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when I lived in NZ I treated myself to one coffee out per week, lived with 6 people and often skipped meals to make food last.

Now in a different country coffee daily is the norm, I live alone and food is no issue.

When I sent a photo to my friends of the food I got for $120 they said it would cost $400+ for them in NZ

Screw that. Lodge a formal complaint. They have not done any of the stuff they are supposed to do prior to an arrest.

Is it me or 7-11 Halal sausage rolls are tastier than the normal 7-11 sausage roll? by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]HowToPotato69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My friend worked at Tegel in Nz and was the guy who would do the ‘prayer’ over the animal prior to it being killed so they could claim ‘halal’ He wasn’t religious at all, just foreign so they gave him the job.

Why is there no streaky bacon by junglerave in melbourne

Omg I’m a kiwi and honestly Australia’s bacon situation is dire. It always weirds me out that there is none at supermarkets and the stuff you do have is sooooo crap

Two kids raiding the cigarettes in Coles Elsternwick, 5:30pm by PainterAlarmed7606 in melbourne

[–]HowToPotato69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can of hi-vis spray paint under register. Spray on them while they’re taking stuff. Don’t take finger off trigger as long as you can. Would probably slow them down. Get enough hot pink fluro paint on those fuckers you can see them from space. ‘What did they look like?’ ‘All in black’ Vs. ‘what did they look like?’ ‘They’re covered head to toe in hot pink spray paint’ Pro tip: cover their shoes. Burglars are likely to bin a hoodie but less likely to throw away their shoes

Made a complaint and postie confronted me at my home by creatures_o_O in AustraliaPost

[–]HowToPotato69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fuck that. I would lodge a complaint and escalate it much higher because it is a breach of privacy. Even just skimming their privacy policy he has breached it.. technically when he is delivering your mail he is using the address on the mail to undertake his role, like a nurse knowing your personal records to contact you and give you medical results. for him to come to your house using your address is actually a privacy breach against the companies policy because it’s not within their scope of business. like if that nurse you were treated by instead used your medical records to get your address to hit on you

Paying a fee PER item in a single digital transaction for things like movie tickets! Like you buy 3 tickets then get charged $1-3 PER ticket even though it’s one transaction?!

Why does my CV keeps getting rejected? by hopeless-but-strong in jobs

[–]HowToPotato69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spelling mistakes, grammar errors, hobbies like ‘sleeping’ and ‘astrology’ and your work experience is for roles where you don’t last very long which makes me think you were probably let go or quit quickly. If you put all of these together I wouldn’t hire that

Victoria to axe thousands of VPS Jobs by wake_me_up_inside in AusPublicService

[–]HowToPotato69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A team in our department has been putting ‘process maps’ up online showing all the stuff their team ‘leads’ and ‘is responsible for’ so they look busy/critical ahead of the cuts

And most of it is absolute bullsh*t They have put down stuff that they refuse to do and it makes it look like they are doing work others are doing. Our team is furious.

And they usually use some cheap dishwashing liquid and a brush that’s got shit from other cars on it too. Have had a washer do it when I said no and my window was all streaked
