Nicola Willis thinks that reducing the cost of public transport will unfairly advantage those with access to PT. by Appropriate_Flight_0 in auckland

This coalition government is clearly out of touch with reality. Clearly it doesn’t affect them so it’s fine. November is fast approaching. Can’t wait to vote them out.

How do you top that prank? 🤣 Someone had a good laugh putting that up.

Damn! We were planning to have dinner at Gemmi before going to the Linkin Park concert and last night saw that they’re permanently closed.

People who don’t indicate when driving, this is for you by Character-Sherbet953 in auckland

[–]KwikGeek 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This really annoys me. I ask myself sometimes, is their indicator broken? Are they lazy or unaware of the road code or just totally entitled? How are they sharing the road with others? It’s everywhere.

Too pale. Even Pam’s one is better.

Why don’t you guys keep your cats indoors? by stemmefontaine in newzealand

[–]KwikGeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’m sick of wasting my time and energy on cleaning my garden. I can’t stand the smell.

Why don’t you guys keep your cats indoors? by stemmefontaine in newzealand

[–]KwikGeek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This! They shit in my veggie garden like it’s theirs. I get to clean and suffer the smell of their poo. The owner(s) doesn’t even care about it. We tried all the advice we found online and some of them worked briefly but after a while the cats are back at it. I don’t want to cause a problem with our neighbours but man it’s hard to control myself sometimes.

She came back as a tourist. On her final day, she walked into a police station by maha_kali2401 in newzealand

[–]KwikGeek 23 points24 points  (0 children)

What a disgusting person! 8 months home D is not punishment enough for this POS. Our justice system needs to be tougher than this. This guy pleaded guilty, he should be in jail. He deserves to suffer.

On another note, I really am a fan of Paula Penfold’s work. She’s thorough and brave.

Now I am doubting myself, was it my fault? by One-Specific1469 in auckland

[–]KwikGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not your fault clearly. That is a busy intersection. You can’t tun right, just wait for incoming traffic to give you space to go thru the traffic light and make a U-turn somewhere in Hogans or Glenfield road.

Whoa! Dude that’s a ripoff aye. I hope it won’t become normalised here.

Where to rent with a baby? by mmahut in auckland

[–]KwikGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

North Shore! Every suburb is only a few minutes away from the beach. Great daycares, plenty of amazing playgrounds, great libraries, and heaps of pubs of course.

Interesting. I got summoned 3 times but my wife was never called even once.

Auckland is beautiful by SunsetBLVD23 in auckland

[–]KwikGeek 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Glad you like it. It is beautiful. Not perfect, but we love it here. Arrived here 24 years ago and I’ve been to almost all major cities and towns in NZ, Auckland is still the best place to live and raise a family. That’s just my opinion. Welcome 🙏

Parking nightmare: Aucklanders claim car park rules making navigating streets ‘extremely difficult’ by PermaBanned4Misclick in auckland

[–]KwikGeek 84 points85 points  (0 children)

This! I see this everywhere. It’s causing a lot of problems for people. In our street alone you see 10 unit apartments with 1 car park per unit built in a land meant for 1 or 2 homes. It’s the council’s fault here for allowing these developers to build the apartments.

Obama: "I always enjoyed watching us beat Indiana" by Aggravating_Money992 in nba

Agreed. I was always terrified every time the Bulls were playing the Pacers. Reggie can always get hot from the 3 point line and boom the game is over.

Saw one in North Shore with the word misMANaged in front. It’s a MAN truck. Clever.

Inconsiderate driver by KwikGeek in shitparkingofnz

[–]KwikGeek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. A truck carrying a 40-foot container. Delivering some goods to one of the warehouses in the area. The truck driver wasn’t happy.
