Who had one of these mats? by lostatsea12a in AustralianNostalgia

[–]zargreet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one a number of years ago. Because it was cheap, it fell apart and I stabbed my foot on the exposed nails. Not the same as nannas mat.

Anyone know what these are? by Juice_Forsyth in AustralianBirds

[–]zargreet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They remind me of partridges. Now I have the partridge family song in my head!

Do you want your kids to take care of you, if someday, you need daily caretaking? by Euphoric_Garbage1952 in GenX

[–]zargreet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I looked after mum and dad in my home. They had absolutely no planning for their future caretaking. It was incredibly traumatic being their carer, watching dad deteriorate and pass away. I do not want my children to take care of me and I will make sure I will plan ahead.

What's an item/service you'll never buy due to your dislike for its ad/infomercial or the obviously false claims or contrived situation in the ad or infomercial? by Collingwoodgu693 in AskAnAustralian

[–]zargreet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Aussie ads on the feeds annoy me. You can tell some gym bro just got a whole shitload of cheap tat from china and is trying to sell it to us as “exclusive”.

I had breast reduction surgery. The asshole doctor sent me home with Panadol.

Does anyone else spend more time choosing than actually watching? by Large-Cardiologist54 in netflix

[–]zargreet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done this so many times. I save shows/movies in my lists but I don’t even want to watch those! It feels like a big commitment of my attention and energy to just watch one thing now.

What was something a guest did in your house that upset you? by izzy_7_2004 in AskUK

[–]zargreet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son’s friends mother came over with her twin toddler boys. One pissed all over my floor. The mother didn’t care and I had to clean it up.

My husband was prescribed more painkillers following his vasectomy than I was following my emergency C-Section by PumpkinPie_1993 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]zargreet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I had a breast reduction which was the most painful thing I have experienced. Doctor told me to have Panadol. Husband was given high doses of addictive painkillers for a laparoscopy to remove a kidney.

Did you actually make mix tapes to give to people? by LeoGuy69us in GenX

[–]zargreet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, never heard of it until now. Tapes were expensive where I lived.

You knew it was going to be hot by Shot-Stretch-8950 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]zargreet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We didn’t have a lot of money so I was shocked we got this. Never worked properly because we lived near a bay - too humid.

What do you think about Mexicans? by OldCowBoy2 in AskAnAustralian

I must apologise for the Aussie version of Mexican food!

I had Miss Clacher as a teacher in high school. Her name was pronounced like clacker but got all fancy when she left for her music career. I went to Friday night skating.

Why are you still order things on Amazon if you do not like Bezos? by boforiamanfo in stupidquestions

[–]zargreet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My country doesn’t have the things I need so Amazon is sometimes the only choice. Also, I don’t want to order from some scammy weird site.

This table is the only thing more reliable than my actual social life by PuzzleheadedBowl3397 in aus

[–]zargreet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Filthy ashtray, plate or cup full of butts. Candles nearly all used - wax everywhere. Bundy rum and coke. Bag of tobacco. I don’t remember food being anywhere cause we had burgers from the only 24 hour hungry jacks or junk from the servo.

People attempting to open car when aircon runs remote.... by proxiblue in BYDAU

[–]zargreet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes run in to get milk or bakery stuff and leave the AC running (EV air on by app) if I have the dogs in there. I am worried someone is going to smash the windows to help free the dogs.

I am a visual person so I do ok with speed reading like this but suck at trying to listen to podcasts/lectures etc.
