been out to the shops.
Snark/general bitchiness
Mad respect to the mum who looked about 10 months pregnant juggling a 4 year old and a toddler in this heart! I struggle with 1 toddler.
To the older couple waiting in line to do a passport: fuck right off. Your both obviously retired you dont have to do it at lunch time. More over the point your not gonna get it this side of 2024 so why leave it till late december? wish aus post had've said "sorry there is an entire queue of people trying to ship christmas presents, kindly piss off till january, or at least not doing peak hours!"
to the lady having a bitch: Yes, lines suck. Yes its annoying that you had to come collect it. No I dont care that its medical weed. We're all stuck here together so shut the f up!
To the mum who named her kid Malibu. WHY? Did you not think how that was gonna sound when they are a 5 year old and not listening to you? "Malllllibuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu". Its almost worse than that raefarty post on the other site a couple of weeks back.
Love chrismas but it brings out the worst in some people I swear.
πππ What is it with some people and medical cannabis? When I was still going to an indie MC pharmacy (they markup by 40% so I go to amcal instead now lol) there was a woman in there losing her fucking miiiiiiind about the availability of her particular flower script. Like, the po-po were called because she was making suuuuch a bloody ruckus. And of course, her car starts to get towed because it's 4pm on Sydney Road on a weekday, and the tow trucks wait in the side streets for the hour to tick over and nab up everyone who doesn't know π so she's losing her fucking mind, the po-po are on the way, and I had to tap her on the shoulder and go "um I think your car's being towed". She put Usain Bolt to shame with how fast she got outside and into the face of the tow truck driver.
But it got her out of the shop, so the five other customers and myself could be served finally π
Sorry for the wall of text, your point number 3 just reminded me of that silly memory π
Also Xmas makes everyone stupid at the shops, plus the hot weather, people's brains have fucking melted lol. I hate it so much.
yikes! Sounds almost like the same person TBH. telling everyone whats in her package. Wanted to be like "Love, no one cares. get out of the damn way!"
Haha yep. Sorry for detailing, I just had forgotten that happened until I read your post lol! She was wild. I've seen her around since, so she's at least local of Merri Bek Council lol
I'm super pro MC but some of the clientele are so stereotypical. The stuff is meant to chill you out.
I've worked with so many pot heads who're utter cunts when they're dry.
I'm related (by marriage) to potheads that are super high strung when not stoned. I know that weed isn't really physically addictive, but the psychological addiction in their case bad. Like bad, bad.
It definitely causes some pretty bad physical withdrawal symptoms if you're an all day every day smoker like I used to be. Sweating, agitation, inability to sleep, feeling very tense physically. It's not pleasant at all.
God yes. They say it isn't addictive, but it certainly is psychologically at least. And when some people go without, the withdrawal assholery is next level
This may actually explain some of the shit I get subjected to here (but not all of it)
That, and meth. It's always meth.
Probably some of it is. Not for all though.
Thereβs definitely substance abuse but could be a lot more going on
Ikr! That's how it works for me, chills me out so flashbacks are less intense and I can sleep at night lol. Means I can study, hang out with mates, engage with some hobbies, without feeling constantly exhausted and beaten.
Then there's some people who are just, such stereotypes. They lack the self awareness to see it too. Maybe they're gaming the system, maybe not, but they're just cunts no matter what.
So funny when a memory like this gets unlocked!! That would have been fun to see - the bolting out the door part, that is!
Hmm that would have been a real dilemma. Donβt tell her about the car and let karma do its thing, or rid yourself of her presence by telling her about it so she leaves the shop. I dunno, I may have just stuck it out and let the car get towed.
The car still got towed, it was pretty much on the truck by the time she got out there lol. They're really quick!

and I bet Malibu was named after the booze, not the place
retirement? are we at the time yet when people can't afford to retire?
Miss Seagoon is already getting annoyed with melbs, already two fake delivery attempts since she's been here
Oh god I didnt even think of that! "Mummy why am I called Malibu?" "Well one night I got loaded off the stuff and your daddy decided to sneak one in at the back of the houseparty before he drove home drunk. And THATS why I named your after booze.
Then why is my sister names Madeira?
Sapphire ... π€
And Margarita
win-win as it's a pizza and a drink
Pensioners taking up valuable time and space are the bane of my existence. Yes we should cherish the elderly, but they should have some awareness.
Malibu is a bad name. That is all.
One of the worst is when you're behind them when doing grocery shopping.
I got stuck at Aldi behind someone and by the time they had paid and sorted their stuff out, aisle next to me had been through an entire rotation or 2 of people at the cashier while were stuck with one elderly person.
Yeah Aldi is not the place to take your time at the register.
At the same time, Aldi is 100% the place that you will encounter unnecessary delays.
A while back at Woolies, going through the self checkout, the cashier was asking (mostly the older customers) if they're paying cash or card, so they can be directed to the correct checkout. One older bloke waved her off and went to a card only one.....but he was paying cash. The of course made it her problem (she was super patient and accommodating) and tried raising a bit of a stink.
I ended up backing her up and telling him (loudly so everyone heard) that she's only trying to help and he should probably listen so he won't be holding up the rest of the shoppers.
He was very sheepish after that, but would not look at me at all π
Yep! Buggers have got betwen 9-12 to get stuff done, and then again 2-5. Not in anyones way, no stress if you make a mistake or something. Like. WHY do it now during lunch time? just dumb.
I also love it when they hit the road at 7:45 am. I'm not saying they have nowhere to be, but maybe make those appointments a tad later if possible.
I join their ranks in fewer than 20 years, hopefully. I'll try to remember this when I have all that time. But I probably won't. π
Its not an issue if your not pottering around. but if your struggling a bit, or if you wanna have a chat to the person its totally fine just please dont hold everyone else up.
Oi I'm not pottering anywhere, yet!
Just looking forward to the days when I can.
Malibu. I bet itβs actually MehLiebooyh. You know, to be special and unique.
Mellibeaux
Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's Mellibeaux.
The oldies are alright but they do like to man handle the meat and discuss its potential in the supermarket. I prefer just to talk to it.
Oooo you look good. Would you like to come home with me? Ok. Toss into trolley.
