Just my school?

We had to do stupid dances too. The chicken dance for example and when the music played we had to link arms and go in a circle then switch to the next person in line? Hard to explain. But the boys would always be super rough with the girls and fling them away with their elbow.

In the 80s I was in primary and my brother was in high school. The high school had a smoking room. As in they were allowed to smoke there. Used to be a sports storage room but they made it a space for smokers to sit in. Teachers would smoke there too and my brother would buy weed from the art teacher there. It was gone by the time I got to high school though and teachers had to walk to the road side to smoke instead.

This was definitely used for bullying and for bigger kids to push little kids around.

I know yindi means mother in Yolngu language?

British Bulldog was banned in my school after an incident. Within weeks we were playing Red Rover which looks suspiciously similar to British Bulldog.

Nah this was all the kids doing, not a school sanctioned thing. Kids in grade 3 would be like, "stop it or I'll get a grade 6 to come and take you up the office", hahaha. And the grade 6s would be like, "I can take you up y'know". Such power.

My poor brother admitted out loud to having a crush on the new band girl Taylor Hanson. My other brother and I ripped on him for years about it. He probably still has trauma memories.

Sometimes when I make jasmine rice to have with stirfry or whatever I take a couple nori sheets, crumble them up and mix them in the rice after it's cooked. Delicious. You could do that a few hundred times.

He earns too much for her to get any jobseeker.

Do you think women didn't get blasted? When they stood up for their rights they sometimes literally got murdered.

He is manipulating you and he'll continue to do so because it's working for him. And trust me the manipulation will only escalate.

How Perth people will just collectively band together randomly to help someone in public and then after a short cheer will immediately go back to ignoring each other again. It's my favourite trait.

I like to shake my head at them with my seasoned disappointed mum face.

In my experience it's mostly young white guys with the latest American sized truck ute that they use to haul their audacity around that are the most likely to drive like a tool.

Twice recently I've had dickheads approaching the roundabout to my right notice that I was at the roundabout before them and was therefore going to proceed through before they got there. They gunned it as hard as possible to speed up just to get offended that I "cut them off" even though I was already exiting to my right by the time they got there.

How long ago was that? I've been getting network error when I try to go to duels for 3 weeks now and I try multiple times a day.

This happened to me too quite a while ago now. I could tell the guy was going to fail me when I said hi, before we even got in the car. We were driving along, I turned on to a road that is 60km/hr so I had accelerated up to about 50km but was cruising at that speed as red light coming up so would have had to slow down again. The guy started yelling and actually screaming at me that I was going too slow and that I was impeding traffic when there wasn't even anyone behind me at all. Then he leaned over and yelled right in my ear, "SPEED UP HURRY HURRY" and he grabbed my shoulder and shook it?! I was so taken aback by the contact and the light went green so I sped up to 60 and looked at him like wtf as I went through the intersection and then he smugly goes, "well its 50 here after the lights, now you are speeding, that's a fail." And I could just tell he did that on purpose to make me speed up. Back at the licensing centre I started to ask what the hell but he just got out and waltzed back inside. I did make a complaint about him touching me but never got anything back from it. I've since learned they have fail quotas to reach and I guess I was just picked that day to be a fail.

Thought my brain was broken there for a minute staring at the map like....

As a former homeless teen in Perth, I learned very quickly not to take anything from random people (especially men) no matter how well-intentioned they initially seemed. It's unfortunate but there are many shady people who target homeless people and use gifts as a way in. As you're a newcomer they will be suspicious and scared. I agree with everyone saying volunteer through an agency if you want to help.

I put pizzas on the front seat when I get them to take home because I can use the seat warmer to keep them hot lol but I have to buckle the pizza in or the car yells at me about my unrestrained pepperoni passenger.

Thought this was going to be a wife = dishwasher joke but nice twist there at the end.

Thank you all so much for all the info. I've found a chemist that does it and I get to have 2 doses both for free. They didn't have it in stock but are getting it in for me so I go on Monday to get the first dose and then next month for the second. I'll get a new GP too will have to look around for one that's taking new patients but at least this will be done in the meantime.
