First world problems 2018!!

Caught the wrong tram and I missed the train by 1 minute. Next train were 20 mins away...

 

Wow - I grew up in rural NZ and even we had three channels - channel 1 - channel 2 - channel 3
- not very inventive

 

I thought it was a ditch, not a channel.

 

... first world problem - finding dream retirement home, the same day get offered a sensational investing opportunity - can afford both but would be stretching uncomfortably

 

Got a free car here at the moment.

It's 88-year-old Father in Law's 1993 Camry and he is giving it to his grandson (our son).

Cause for celebration? No, hubby wants to make it roadworthy, as you would. - so far it has cost me $300 and it is nowhere near ready to go for a Safety Certificate. Financial-Genius was "fixing' the chip in the windscreen this arvo and now it has a full-length crack instead.

Son has nowhere to park it and no income to pay for rego and insurance. What's the point?

 

Ah - I feel your pain - married to one of those myself

 

As I get older, I improve. Less sh!+, rip & bust with more 'looks like a bought one' now.

 

I just missed the country train so now I'm on an all stations train that's about 10 minutes slower

Spoiler

There is an upside though - it goes all the way to Town Hall and beyond, not just to Central.

 

I thought Parramatta was in the western suburbs though it feels like the bush (yes, I realise you're now working in the big smoke).

 

Hubby puts the cutlery in the dishwasher basket up the opposite to me.

Makes it annoying when emptying as his "wrongly" installed items need to be pulled out separately, and turned around, before being put away.

 

Really not impressed by a random car that's been parked on the grass outside my house, there is plenty of street parking available so why choose to park there?
Maybe this is why a neighbour put up a pole (see between the green bin and the silver car) preventing people driving over the grass outside their place... I might just do the same.

 

Forgive me if I am reading your post incorrectly, but it seems like:-

Some guy just ran his car off the road, just missing my new Audi RS-Uber!

And nearly crashed into a tree in my front yard, but luckily it was some bland econobox!

And when I shouted what he was doing, he said, "A brown dog just ran out right in front of me, and I was right in the middle of sending a Tweet, so I didn't know what to do! And I dropped my cheeseburger!"

And then he ran off!

Hopefully the powers that be will consider what appropriate steps should be taken from there...

 

Could be the story! Note that blue car parked on the street doesn't belong to us either... it belongs to some other random person, I have no idea who. Our own car is getting old... 11.5 years old with some electrical issues and peeling paint. Poor car.

(this is the first world thread so any comment goes)

We also get a huge van parked near the front of our house because people down our side street have a removalist company.... I don't mind it but the partner doesn't. We have heaps of street frontage in front of us. I just don't like that someone chose to park on the grass though. That's where we leave the bins for bins night....

 

Wow! Your bins get taken out for a night. We're too stingy, ours fend for themselves

 

Woolworths service stations still only offer a 4c/litre discount regardless of whether fuel is worth $1.00/litre (when it was introduced a long time ago) or $1.60/litre currently. The discount is almost a nonsense.

 

I recently realised that my working week was way too long, with Wednesday being the longest of the days in the week.

My days got progressively longer from Sunday to Wednesday then shortened again.

I resolved the problem by making each of my days equal so they're now Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Saturday & Sunday.

Weekdays are short and I get a long weekend each week.

Work that one out.
