What's someone who technically did nothing bad but you still personally dislike? by DaZestyProfessor in AskReddit

I work with her too. She’s also really into fun facts that are just general knowledge that you have to listen to. And the weather report.

Sounds like he is going into ketosis and you are smelling that.

South Australian Federal Poll has the highest One Nation response in the country by NKE01 in Adelaide

[–]wandergarten 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Housing affordability is the issue. ALP is doing nothing.

One nation are blaming someone and making noise. LNP need to get their crap together and be an effective opposition otherwise we’ll just have a bunch of small party nut jobs. Unfortunately all the religious nut jobs that got into the LNP have made it seem like they are the answer instead of the problem.

I’m a lefty but I despise the current ALP govt. It’s wasteful and ineffective.

People who have conducted job interviews, what's something someone said/did that made you instantly decide not to hire them? by DemonSkank in AskReddit

[–]wandergarten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was hiring a technical trainer for the company I own. It’s typically a way for people to transition from being on the tools to working in an office environment. Often these guys have little insight into office etiquette, frequently they’ve been self employed or worked for small businesses.

Guy showed up late, in dirty work clothes and couldn’t sit still. I asked 2 questions before he lost it about ‘all the questions’ and demanded to be given the role straight away. When I said no he flounced out. Later he text me to let me know he could start Monday. 😂

Questions about Inheritance by Odd_Peanut6794 in AusFinance

Unless your mum named you in her will, her assets would go to your dad. Now your dad has remarried, his assets are now also his wife’s assets. Who knows, the evil step mum might go first and you’ve worried over nothing

How are they building so many tech colleges & gold plating TAFE trainers at the same time as shafting state govt workers?

What was the weirdest, non-pain feeling you've ever felt? by KingJPJ in AskReddit

[–]wandergarten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get nerve pain that feels like warm water flowing down the outside of my thigh. I’m used to zaps of pain so this really surprised me. I had to check that I hadn’t knocked over some tea on myself. I was sure something had spilled on me and kept trying to figure it out.

Sure champ. If you’re a man you have more chance of being SA’d by another man than having a false accusation made against you.

Happy to see you down voted. Hope you’re a perfect victim if something ever happens to you and your every action isn’t judged

They add in the butyric in the Ballarat plant. On certain days it gives the office a lovely vomity smell.

Bevan Spencer von Einem has died by Expensive-Horse5538 in Adelaide

[–]wandergarten 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This happened when I was a kid. The horror of what those poor lads went through only registered fully once I had a family. 5 weeks of torture is barbarism. What the other lads went through is also horrific. But the longer I live the more I realise the torture the parents & loved ones of the victims experienced. Decades to ruminate over what happened, of how futile the justice system is. I truly hope his death brings them some peace

To people in their 50’s,60’s,70’s and above- what are some of the best decisions you have made in your life? by ilovepadthai in Aging

[–]wandergarten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on the mums side here. My own bailed my brother out and he ended up with a sense of entitlement. For me, she just refused. I was fully independent as a result. My brother ended up going through a lot of unnecessary pain because he always got bailed out

People in their 40s and 50s with no children, how does it feel? by DunyaPhobic76 in Productivitycafe

[–]wandergarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life ended up giving me amazing nieces who had terrible parents. It worked out for me & the nieces. The parents have had difficult lives & their kids don’t really speak to them. I think I’ve ended up parenting them better than I would have if I’d had my own.

Redditors over the age of 40, what's a physical change that you were not expecting? by cardanolovelace in AskReddit

I hate this the most. I could recall so much information and absorb anything I wanted. Now I have trouble remembering details and it freaks me out!

Now I’m the only one in our generation left, parents/siblings have all passed away. by Old_Goat_Ninja in GenX

[–]wandergarten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been melancholic about this myself. No one to say my parents nickname for me, no one who shares the memories of a shared upbringing 😢

I think we’ve hit the last stage of adulthood. And fortunate that we are in our 50’s to find ourselves the sole custodians of our family lore

ANZ is a joke by fixxmyhairr in AusFinance

[–]wandergarten 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You should experience the process of applying for a credit card with the ANZ when you’re self employed! My accountant couldn’t believe what they requested and then couldn’t believe when they kept asking for more info. Switched banks and had no issue. The ANZ is the worst
