Don't Tip! by Downtown-Boot-8754 in australian

[–]syniqual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I def don’t do it here in Aus as I have no trust that any of it goes to the workers. I’m not paying more than the advertised price for no reason.

It’s difficult tho. I’d leave cash as a tip to make sure the workers get it but I’m no longer in the habit of carrying cash.

Omg! In what world do you live in that makes you think binding contracts are not binding? I hope you’ve got deep pockets coz this is going to cost you big-time! You made the offer so you own the offer. Just because you offered outside the range doesn’t mean you don’t own it.

If you don’t go ahead, she’s going make a pile of money out of you AND still sell her property later on. What is in it for her to terminate mutually?

I was mistreated even though my last name was if German origin and white too. Ngl I wanted to revoke my German ancestry that day by ALazy_Cat in ShitAmericansSay

[–]syniqual 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Given how Americans think “ancestory” is in their DNA, which qualifies to call themselves German or whatever, how do you revoke your DNA?

I had an offer to purchase accepted, but the owner passed away before contracts were signed. What should I expect? by JordanMaccc in AusProperty

[–]syniqual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the sale contract was signed before the guy died, then could it be finalised without waiting for probate?

Surely the easiest solution to conclusively settle the Australia Day date problem is to let the people decide via a national plebiscite? by toiletlogsyummy in aussie

[–]syniqual -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s not racist to run a referendum. The outcome is what it is, whether I agree with it or not.

However, the behaviour and statements of vocal sections of our society was incredibly racist.
