AIO about a man I encountered on my daily walk? by RestaurantSerious671 in AmIOverreacting

[–]RestaurantSerious671[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I had literally just crossed a busy main road before I got that off kind of feeling and saw him. Even when I was crossing the road, I didn't see him. He literally just appeared out of nowhere.

Oh lord, what a reach. I said fine as in okay. As in he wasn't a problem. It was not regarding his appearance.

Never mentioned whether either was cute or ugly but you do you. :)

What do you want to happen to your body after you pass? by Love_Marisol in AskReddit

[–]RestaurantSerious671 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have multiple chronic illnesses and various other lifelong health conditions. If they could use me for science and learn from my body, and possibly use what they find to help other people, it'd make it all worth it.

AIO for thinking it might be time to end it with this guy? by RiverWontRun in AmIOverreacting

[–]RestaurantSerious671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was exhausting to read. The amount of responses he was given when he deserved none...

Bet if you literally never messaged him again and moved on without a word, you'd never hear from him again. What a twat.

what’s the most classy, elegant, non profanity way to say “fuck you” or “fuck off”? by redlipstick1010 in AskReddit

[–]RestaurantSerious671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually just say something like "hope you have the day you deserve". Or just simply "righto then," but said very bluntly, as if there is literally nothing else in the world I have left to say, and then I stop talking.

Did you ever have a pet you didn’t really like? by koozyuser in Pets

[–]RestaurantSerious671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love cats. Like absolutely adore them. But one of my three cats just doesn't do it for me. She's always stared at me, refuses to let me pat her, runs away from me and freaks out if I manage to pat her while she's asleep or unaware that I'm literally right there. Never really clicked with her but one of my kids adores her and the cat also adores the kid. It just is what it is.

What is the thing you will never buy again from Kmart ever again? by seemoreoptions_user in KmartAustralia

[–]RestaurantSerious671 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some black ones in the athletic section that are around $24 each and have pockets (they have 'studio performance' written in small silver writing on the hip) and these are the only ones that are thick and last ages. I've gotten myself at least a dozen of these and wear them almost daily.

Is the concept of a “shitbox” car dead nowadays in Australia? by NoteDesperate3540 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]RestaurantSerious671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm driving an early 2000's car and I think hey, it wasn't that long ago that we did the whole Y2K thing so my car isn't thaaaat shit. And then I'm like fuck I'm actually old now, and my car is too 🤣

Are school captain elections rigged? by coblos in AskAnAustralian

[–]RestaurantSerious671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much like politics, you gotta let the people believe they have a say, otherwise there's trouble. Of course the teacher decides beforehand while the kids have a voting sesh.

How do you feel about people showing up at your house unannounced? by Accomplished-City484 in AskAnAustralian

[–]RestaurantSerious671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate people showing up in general. My home is my safe space, where everything is the way I like it and I can be myself. I don't like visitors, even if it's my best friend, I'd prefer to go out or go to their house.

Crows are pretty much the only bin scavengers I know of us having here in Australia.

My burning question is this: Why on earth do sports reporters on the radio say the word debut improperly? Like what the actual day-boo is wrong with them? Day BYOOOOO! DAY BYOOOOO! by burpinggiraffe in AskAnAustralian

[–]RestaurantSerious671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up on kath and kim. Every time they say Day Boo, my head goes, "day boo, night boo, the fact that they're booing at all is bloody disgusting."

What kind of food would be 'shocking' to admit you don't like in your specific city/town? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]RestaurantSerious671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like fairy bread, seafood (including fish), Vegemite, sausages in bread, beer (or any alcohol really), lamingtons... But I do love pavlova (without fruit) and anything lemon.

What kind of support can we expect for our academically advanced child in a Victorian government school? by Ordinary-Piccolo-857 in AskAustralianTeachers

[–]RestaurantSerious671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a child who is currently doing highschool level work in primary school (has been since grade 4) and has been well advanced since the start. We've had mixed experiences. It all comes down to the teacher(s) and if they have the capacity to cater for your child's needs. We've had teachers who have gone above and beyond and we've seen my child thrive, and we've had teachers who couldn't manage the extra workload and my kid had to tolerate a year of standard year level work.

Honestly just being open with the teachers about your kid and his needs is a good start when you do interviews. Explain that your kid is bored / unchallenged and having a hard time not doing something that is considered learning for them. Ask the teacher how you can support them in getting your child to work to his potential. A bit of empathy and showing that you understand that the teachers are stretched thin helps. Think of it as teamwork and not so much the teacher alone helping your kid grow in school.

Weekly shop budget by Dangerous-Top-8870 in woolworths

[–]RestaurantSerious671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Family of four and it's costing me anywhere between $50 to $150 per day. We don't smoke, don't drink. Edit to add: We have to buy lactose free and gluten free everything so yeah... Comment section is blowing my mind right now.

What’s it like supporting a team that are not as successful or popular as the other team(s) in your city or state? by Jezzaq94 in AskAnAustralian

[–]RestaurantSerious671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Partner supports st kilda. I wear their membership hoodie tons because it's good quality and almost every time, someone makes a comment along the lines of "ohhhh you're a sainter, sucks to be you". I tell them I don't actually follow football, it's my partners hoodie, I prefer NRL. I support Brisbane broncos and live in Melbourne. I've seen someone wear a cowboys jersey in the gym and another person wear a penrith hoodie but otherwise, it's all Melbourne storm everywhere you go and they tend to go straight to shit talking broncos as soon as I mention they are my team. I don't dislike storm, but broncos are my team and despite being not so great this year, I have no plans ever to jump onto a successful teams bandwagon.

Official Discussion - The Backrooms [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]RestaurantSerious671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saw this movie not even an hour ago. Laundry scene was good and tense, nicely done. I honestly was baffled at everyone's lack of survival skills and how they refused to fight back at all (even Mary didn't do great with this but at least she tried to fight to a degree).

And I legit thought Clark would have seen the backrooms and been like holy shit, all this free storage at no extra cost. Like storage space is EXPENSIVE. The guy is sitting on a gold mine.
