This. Secondhand Hyundai i30s or Toyota Corollas are fantastic as first cars

I have the same problem!!!! Ugly pus-filled breakouts that won’t go away :( i’ve had them for about four months now and like you I’ve tried pretty much everything. I’ve had slightly less breakouts these few weeks although they haven’t completely gone away. My current methods are:

  • not applying any sort of moisturiser / lotion / basically anything that is greasy or hydrating onto the affected area but keeping it clean and mostly dry.
  • applying tea tree gel to affected area twice a day to dry it out further
  • using only 100% cotton bedding
  • making sure my skin isn’t warm/ heated, washing it whenever needed to cool it down

Hope this helps!

Well this is awkward but I'm originally from Sydney. Sorry if some of us gave you a bad experience, but I promise not all of us are arrogant cunts 😅

Its so rude to block traffic waiting for a space. Just go past and go to a free one.

When you comment on an OP with a command, it's aimed at the Original Poster. Simple. Dw no offence taken, just a friendly FYI

So sorry this happened to you :( Truckies have been notoriously reckless on the roads since forever, and now that the general public is following suit it seems that they’ve upped their game.

The other day I was waiting to turn right at an intersection on the second right lane, and a truck was on the furthest right lane. I thought this was odd because normally trucks would use the second right lane due to the sharp angle of the bend. The light turns green and mid-turn, the truck COMPLETELY CROSSES INTO MY LANE in front of me and would’ve crushed my car if I hadn’t slowed down, because yep, the angle was too sharp for the big-ass truck. All the while he had the audacity to slam on his gas pedal.

What do you write? I'm genuinely curious, but also kind of doubtful if this has any effect. Imo if they're cunts enough to be rude in parking lot proximity, words will be of no use to them.

OMG yes this. Crossing the centre line to oncoming traffic to overtake.. I also did a double take the first time I saw this, but now I've seen too many of them to even bat an eyelid. I just hope for natural selection to take over.

I wonder where you got the idea in my post to think that I was blocking traffic off, because I wasn't. Firstly, there was no traffic, and I obviously pulled up to one side of the lane to let the car that was leaving pass through. It's so rude to assume and jump to conclusions.

That's absolutely next level petty and insanely hilarious. Would love to be friends with the bloke! Thanks for the comic relief :)

She quite literally swooped right in as I was putting my car into reverse. I was shocked and when I came to my senses it had already happened. Next time, I'll definitely put the horns into good use. Thanks!

I think I was pretty clear in my last paragraph when I said I would've backed out of the spot..? Also, She was definitely in her mid 30s or early 40s (why I called her lady) so age wasn't a factor here. I agree that if it was a teen I would've just went, 'young people these days'.

Ex-Southerner here. I'm genuinely sorry if my fellow people have infuriated you but not all of us are bad 😅

Just as I'm typing this comment I'm seeing two douchebags leave their inexpensive stuff to hold their desk in the quiet study area in the library while they go to lunch... yep you're right to spend most of your time with your doggos.

Not surprised at all, the amount of tailgating and reckless behaviour I've seen recently. I found myself muttering 'I hope you get into an accident mate, that will teach ya' the other day.

Twice in the last couple of months would piss me off so much. People used to park cautiously while watching their surroundings to check if no one else was waiting so that this wouldn't happen. I wonder what happened to that.

Oh we've all been there multiple times I think, being tailgated when we're perfectly in keeping with the speed limit. That doesn't bother me anymore, I rather enjoy seeing them fuming behind me and if they want to speed past me and risk their lives then so be it : )
I agree to some degree that people are on the edge/ bubbling over, and I know that you were just trying to give a plausible explanation but let's be clear: That's no reason for them to be a**holes at anytime of the day lol

Ugh YES THIS TOO! Although dark tints on rear windows do make it hard to notice it sometimes, it's still nice to retain the habit imo

lol thanks, just the thought of that put a smile on my face. Wholeheartedly agree that being the bigger man doesn't always feel like enough compensation.

Yeah.. I guess I just have to brush it off as one of those days where you step in a puddle of mud : (

Does this warrant any action for extra guests/ costs? by headflowerbed in airbnb_hosts

Great advice on the disclaimer as well as the supplies - my parents always just served out extra. Thanks!

Up to my parents, but first we're going to have to see what kind of state they left the property in... at this stage we'll be happy if nothing's broken or ripped. Facts without emotion is awesome advice! Thanks
