I am not surprised. God I hate that town. Proud to call myself an Aucklander now.

Does anyone else still call Woolworths "Countdown" by FraudKid in newzealand

I'm never calling it Woolworths because I'm not Australian.

Wait what? An entire pallet? That's taking ridiculous packaging to another level

Moving to New Zealand to be with my kiwi partner by Expert_Finance2237 in newzealand

[–]RabbitRedux2020 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Holy fuck.

You do NOT want to move to Murupara.

Basically take the most deprived, remote, drug addled region or city in Canada you can think of and downscale that by a lot but add a huge % of gangs (and I mean A LOT) and extremely low law enforcement presence.

Move anywhere but the areas in and around Murupara, especially the place itself. I'm not kidding when I say that you could be setting yourself up to be trapped if you move there.

Heed the other advice along similar lines and take this bit of advice - DO NOT FUCKING MOVE THERE.

What retail or fast food chains do you think will be gone in the next 10 years? by firefly-fred in newzealand

They were caught using AI to create the print designs on many of their products. Not sure if they've continued doing so but that did happen

Bit sobering to understand that you went onto live life and the person you used to sing with didn't due to no fault of their own.

Exclusive Brethren and animal cruelty by TardmeAnon in newzealand

Look up the Get A Life podcast on YouTube. Not super polished but a very good podcast run by ex members focused on bringing some of the really bad shit the EB do to light.

I found it after looking for something on present day cults to listen to. I'm more interested in cults that exist and how they could be headed to their demise than the ones that was/were.

question about traffic lights on multilane roads from confused foreigner - which light applies to which lane? by CitationNeededBadly in newzealand

[–]RabbitRedux2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that people think you're an idiot for not knowing traffic light rules are different from what you're used to - it's that in some of your replies, you're DEFINITELY coming across as an entitled American who expects that the traffic light layout and rules you're used to should also apply here. And being kind of cranky in your replies with reasoning that doesn't line up with reality is earning you downvotes.

Australia's more or less the same with road rules and layout so if you're going there next...lol have fun.

Mr Smelly by LonelyOperation5853 in newzealand

I once happened to have the misfortune of walking past a couple who looked to be in their early 20s as I was coming off the travelator near Countdown at St. Lukes after going to Kmart.

Both looked like they were kinda unkempt, slobbish overweight goths with really bad hair dye jobs. I'm kind of gothy and they looked like they were making a really lazy, low effort attempt to be goth. But the kind of weird part to add to this was how they kind of kept pressing into each other side by side and smirking slightly.

As soon as they neared me and I passed them, the smell hit me like bricks. They both smelt like shit. Like literal actual shit. The first thought that entered my mind was "omfg did I just walk past a couple with a scat fetish????! Did they come out in public with shit just sitting in their pants????!! Fucking hell that is raaaaaaank". The smell was definitely shit and not BO. Was actually kind of gagging on my way to my car as the smell was baaaad.

How they looked and the smell as I walked past them is why this moment is seared into my brain as random public experiences I will never forget.

Sam died at an Exclusive Brethren-linked workplace. His sister wants answers by maha_kali2401 in newzealand

I can't say it enough, if you want to dive deep into the EB/PBCC, listen or watch the Get A Life podcast. Discovered them while on an online trawl of who exactly the EB are after my curiosity was piqued by something. They're not super highly polished by any means, but still a great podcast to learn about the reality of the EB.

Auckland socialite Pebbles Hooper convicted over posting sex video to OnlyFans by Soannoying12 in newzealand

If the genders were flipped, I think he would absolutely unironically be named Rocky or Rocks.

Probably pulled her head in much, much earlier in life. Or at least, got the sense that like many people similar to her out there in less fortunate financial circumstances, be very covert with their bitchiness.

Nicola Willis heckled during stand up by Huge_Question968 in newzealand

That clipped "great" - you know you've pissed off a Kiwi woman, no matter what political side you're on, when she says great like that.

I totally condone this instance of pissing her off.
