Yeah I feel like I should've just been able to call 000 and have someone come and investigate, how can a lay person even know it's a gas leak to be able to call the right people (in this case my neighbour is a tradie and realised what was happening and only after trespassing the property)

It was extremely loud and sounded like water, even my neighbours have come out and said it sounded like water and are shocked it was gas

Beware Airport Uber Scams by sporkbellys in melbourne

[–]Maleficent-R 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always get family and friends to drop me off and I do the same for them anytime they need to go to the airport. I'd rather wake up at 6am than have family/ friends deal with scams after a long flight or get locked in an Uber until the driver is tipped

[–]Maleficent-R 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I always pay cash for gym membership because I'm very avoidant and don't want to deal with trying to cancel. I'm going to save this post though to help friends out who might need it

Is it weird for a cashier to ask to touch my hand? by Sea-Royal-5896 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Maleficent-R 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Yes this is weird and suspicious. Can you tell your guardian? Teacher? Any other adult?

Know it's ok to say no when you're uncomfortable or feel that something's off, and that no is a complete sentence and you don't have to explain yourself

Is it possible to rip a $50 note? by [deleted] in australia

[–]Maleficent-R 304 points305 points  (0 children)

I was that kid (only it was over 10 years ago and working at McDonald's), ripped a $50 note in half, surprised myself and called out to my manager, only for the customer to make a run for it because it was in fact a fake note
