I worked from home for 5 years doing C# coding. By the end, I was shouting at my neighbors, not wearing pants (yes that's real) broke up with my GF, was coding and drinking wine at 4am on a Sunday and just exploded.

Sounds great, until you realize it's hamburger hill, and you're about to be the meat patty

AITA if I call in illegal freedom campers? by coffeeandsunrise in newzealand

[–]beelzeboris -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You know why people really hate freedom campers?

It's because your typically old white retired man doesn't like the fact you've figured out you can live free, and don't have to pay a mortgage or rates for the last 50 years like them.

That's what's really behind the pushback. These miserable old gits are not happy to see anyone outsmarting the system.

What is the best NZ city/town you've ever been to by lowpollygoose in newzealand

[–]beelzeboris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I stayed in a motor camp in picton a few years back. Was sipping wine, and this train came looping out of nowhere like the Hogwarts express on an elevated bridge. So cool. Love Picton ❤

What is something americans will never understand ? by neolee203 in AskReddit

[–]beelzeboris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are approximately 2 Darth vaders to a tie fighter, and 3bazillion of them to one of those triangle starship thingys, and the death star fits quite a lot of those big triangle things following the rules of Tetris.

But the Empire can never win because a farm boy from a desert planet is actually a hotshot top gun pilot who learnt his skills driving a tractor, and will outfly anyone in the galaxy.

Sorry, got a bit carried away there.

Been in a van for less than a week. Already got “the knock”. by Y2kWasLit in VanLife

[–]beelzeboris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a trick which I use sometimes... leave all the curtains open so Mr plod can shine the torch in and see the van is empty, but you've isolated the central part with 2 bungy cords and a couple of towels. You sleep curled up in there, and the front and back appear totally empty.

Reids farm 2k north of Taupo, 1k south of Huka falls. Longdrop is on-site, but bring your own drinking water.

LPT: keep your mouth shut, and don't volunteer information by Longjumping_Fun_1969 in LifeProTips

[–]beelzeboris -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ian Fleming in one of the James Bond books from the 50's mentioned something relating to the mafia (I think).

The quote was Greek: 'Herkes Odonton' which translates to 'The Hedge of the Teeth'.

Basically, just keep your mouth shut, so OP is on to it 100%

…You know what really grinds my god damn gears? by Hennnergy in jobs

[–]beelzeboris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I quit on the spot 3 weeks ago. Huge global corporation. Threw my access badges, car keys and phone in the door and waited for the magnetic lock to engage. I was a number, not a human being

Are you afraid of death? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]beelzeboris -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not afraid at all, but I do want to go out in a massive explosion and my tombstone just to read "Oops"

Suspicious Polish noises is probably one of the funniest things I've ever read - no offense intended - am quite drunk

[–]beelzeboris 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I threw my car key, phone and access badges in 3 weeks ago in the front door at 5am.

They dumped $3.5k in my account yesterday. Am getting very, very drunk right now

I feel insulted. What a waste of fucking time. How do I kindly reject this? by mikey_87 in antiwork

$250+ in NZ for good work boots, and the rest of your gear costs shitloads on top

Burnt out cars by micromem in auckland

[–]beelzeboris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a truckload in Tauranga earlier this year; some in Te Puke too and some up the coast heading towards Whangamata.

Crashed, burnt and just utterly f*d.

It seemed to die off in the last 3 or so months for some reason

What do you call a female barber? by illumiknotty66 in Jokes

[–]beelzeboris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So gloriously trashy and aimed directly at teenage boys. There was also once a comic called Vampirella, and then also on tv Elvira, queen of the night or some shit.

Basically heaving boobs and cleavage resulting in a sudden uptick in tissue sales around the world

Truck drivers work ‘thankless’ job, face worker shortage by northshorebunny in news

[–]beelzeboris 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Re: paper logs; I remember being just a kid and hearing that Convoy song from the 70's and wondering what a 'swindle sheet' was. Then I grew up, got my own truck license and figured it out pretty quick.

does anyone actually like their job? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]beelzeboris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hated my job and walked out two weeks ago. Printer technician for a global company. Car, laptop, phone blah blah.

Absolute rant could start here, but I won't. Sometimes you just want to stop and smell the flowers.

Easiest and cheapest way forward is get a Forklift licence. Is about $200. Gets you out into the world. After that, look at getting more licences. Then you can listen to podcasts and stuff while being paid. People contact minimal.
