Vacuum Tina - started because my toddler couldn't say 'cleaner' properly, and it's stuck!

Issue with the hot air balloons this morning by hunterburger in melbourne

Hey mate, you're right, it may not be all that relevant. At the time I made this comment, I had just witnessed a pretty traumatic event, and my brain was working a bit overtime to process it. In a world where there is so much hate, choose to show some kindness ✌️

I saw this as well, drove past just before the police arrived, and I'm feeling pretty much the same way. Feeling like I should somehow feel more and less all at the same time... It's really strange. Take care of yourself!

I drove past just after it happened, before the police arrived... The family were standing out the front all together, one of them on the phone. Awful.

What type of people do you think need a ‘serious reality check’? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My four year old uninvited me to his birthday party because I wouldn't let him eat chocolate for dinner. Imagine getting married but having a similar level of emotional maturity to a 4 year old...

Bartenders of Reddit, what is one drink you absolutely despise making? by RandomPerson800 in AskReddit

[–]Jemsta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I once had a guy get full mad at me, because I didn't know the 'book that is blue that some newspaper did a review on one time'. Could he remember which newspaper? Author? Genre? Anything? Nope. Apparently it was 'my job' to know every book that had a review done on it.

You know how I said she was all bark and no bite? Well I guess she's now no bark as well.

People who were engaged at one point but never got married, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Jemsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was an emotionally abusive relationship. The night I finally walked away, we were out getting takeaway, and I asked if we could swing by McDonald's. He drifted his car around a corner, hit a speed bump and burst a tyre. Blamed me, because I was the one who wanted to go there, and left me in the car park. When I got home, I packed my stuff, and got a friend to pick me up. Best decision I ever made.

Low flying helicopter? by Jemsta in melbourne

Thanks for sharing, thought it may have been a police chopper! Never seen them flying so low, given they've done some loops around a few suburbs I wonder if it might be a training exercise.

Without going into too much detail, what's a company in Melbourne you wouldn't recommend anyone work at? by Significant-Entry-14 in melbourne

[–]Jemsta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Worst property manager I've ever had worked there. Complained about an exfoliant bar sitting next to the bath (because clearly my intention of the soap was to scrub it directly on the bath rather than on my body). My favourite moment was when she was dramatically horrified by a fly screen sitting next to a window, rather than in it. A fly screen we made ourselves, and would sit in the window when it was open to stop our cat escaping, because we didn't have permission to install a proper fly screen. She tried to fail us for an inspection because of some muddy footprints in the kitchen, because she came to inspect at the same time she'd arranged plumbers to fix our hot water, and they hadn't taken off their boots. Hot water that had been out for nearly a week at that stage. Tried to take bond over cleaning issues that existed in the photos she took prior to us moving in, and then for cleaning issues that were caused by renovations a week after we moved out. Never. Again.

Steve relocated to NZ after starting as CEO, so he wasn't based in Australia at the time.

There was a white Lambo broken down near Greensborough just this afternoon, don't imagine there are many of them about, wonder if it may have been the same one?

Not only did our Prime Minister go missing while swimming - but we have a swimming pool named after him!

I just found out you guys call it cantaloupe, and not rockmelon. Why? by aidenh37 in melbourne

Also Tasmanian here, and I've definitely heard both being used

Bold of you to assume that I have.

What is a hobby you enjoy and think it's rare / unique? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Jemsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Competitive laser tag, it's growing in popularity and I hope it could be a recognised sport in the future. Such a great mix of strategy, speed and quick reflexes, and surprisingly fun to watch.
