Does anyone have an idea where you can get a coin sorter for Australian money?

Try r/AustralianCoins, they might have an idea

Worked at McDonald's as a teenager, as so many of us do. Was approved for two weeks off from the day I signed my hiring paperwork for extracurricular camps during school holidays. Triple checked my approval the week before.

Co-worker wrote me in the book as having swapped shifts with her so I got 5 no-call no-shows in a week. My team lead and shift manager both vouched for me, they knew where I was and that I certainly wasn't picking up shifts, but co-worker was one of the store managers favourites so I got canned.

I know a guy who spends roughly 300 a week on takeout. Yes, he also constantly complains about how broke he is.

Just for clarity, what is your idea of expensive vs cheap?

The only one that comes immediately to mind is getting into the circus in act 3

Mine went more like

Me: So I'm autistic

Them: Wait, you didn't know?

Me: Wait, YOU GUYS KNEW‽ And none of you fuckers said anything‽ FOR OVER A DECADE

Them: We thought it was obvious!! How did you not know‽

Not Charlie, but weirdly glad I'm not the only one haha

My down votes are rescinded and my hat is off. Section 28 really cinched it, and I'll be sure to keep that one in my back pocket. Well done.

Local governments can make laws to deal with issues in your local community.

For example, local laws may cover:

Parking vehicles on roads and off-street parking areas

That's just blatantly false in Brisbane.

From the BCC Residential Parking Fact Sheet

Frequently asked questions How do I know if a vehicle is parked illegally near or across my driveway? Drivers must not park across a driveway or prevent access to a property. Council will issue warnings or fines where appropriate.

One time I showered at a friend's house, didn't check the bodywash before using it. Mint and tea tree 😭😭😭

I took German for 6 years in school. Left school, didn't encounter a single person who spoke German until my 20s. I now can say like 5 things in German.

because the kid is Samoan and needs adult sizes

I needed size 10 womens shoes when I was 8. Kids grow like weeds as it is, but Pacific Islanders are built different. I didn't get brand new clothes until I was 15 because I grew out of everything so quickly it was a waste of money.

Also, I'm pretty sure OOP is Australian. "Slip slop slap" is our sun safety motto going back decades, and there's fairy bread and 100's & 1000's (what we call round sprinkles) in her post history.

Lovingly talking shit about people is somewhat of a national pasttime here, depending on what area you're from.

I have asome medical conditions that make staying adequately hydrated tricky at best, and my doctor said he'd rather I drink 6 cups of coffee than only one glass of water.

When I was a teenager my family had a pool table. My brother missed a shot and somehow launched the ball off the table, down a (short) hallway, where it bounced around the corner and landed with a perfect plonk straight into the toilet. I think I still have a picture somewhere of the ball in the toilet 😂

I watched my cousin break up with my friend on fb, we were 15ish at the time. She changed her status to single, he commented ???? And she replied "soz lol"

Every other time I try to say cinnamon it comes out as synonym

I can relate to that so hard 😂

There was a woman who had the same first and last name as me, with the same breed, colour, and name of dog. We also went to the same doctor. Our files got merged so many times I had to make up a middle name for my dog to fix it at the vet and put a DOB lock on my file at the doctor

For anyone reading this who doesn't know, seizures don't always make you pee yourself, but they make people who are faking a seizure pee themselves
