I need to know....

[dedja]

Why do dumb people exist?

Was driving behind a car yesterday, the rear left wheel was wobbling badly, looked like it was only a matter of time before it decided to disengage itself from its host, so I thought I’d do the right thing and let the driver know when we were both stopped at a T-junction.

The dude in the car says thanks, but shrugs his shoulders and drives off, I reckon I followed it for another couple of kms.

1. How the faark did he not feel the back end wobbling like jelly on a plate?
2. After being told that the wheel is about to fall off, doesn’t even bother to pull over and have a look?

Next instalment of this series …

Yesterday, the car in front of had something sticking out of the front left side, they were in the right lane so I moved into the left and went side by side to see what was going on. The plastic fender guard was hanging on for dear life by barely a screw, with the rest of it now perpendicular to the car hanging out by about a foot. To top it off, the tyre had ground down about half of the bottom of it as it wedged into the wheel well.

Look over to the driver, a middle aged woman oblivious to the car cannibalising itself.

**** me, I have to put up the likes of dedja, Trader, Pyne & Rulebook hanging around Norwood, now this????

Don't lump me in with that lot. I haven't been on The Parade since 2016.

Yep, good point, most people forget about the gst on fuel.

Yesterday I filled up for the first time after the price has gone bonkers, $1.01 per litre more than last time, and then it went up another 10c a few hours later.

The missus, on the other hand, drives a diesel …

Diesel $3.09 today, was as low as $1.79 only a few weeks back.
Australia relies on everything being transported so going to see some massive price rises soon

I just paid $2.99 for diesel at Melrose Park South Road.
Ol’ mate in his V8 Land Cruiser next to me was filling up when I pulled in and was still filling up after I had paid and was driving off.
Probably filing up both tanks

Yeah, before it gets expensive.

If Cadbury made cars they’d just reduce the size of the tank so no one would notice the cost increase to fill up.

Diesel currently $3.16 at most servos in north-eastern suburbs

I drive for a living, thankfully I get a daily fuel levy which is adjusted weekly depending on the price at the bowser. I feel sorry for those poor bastards driving around who don’t get assistance & get paid shit money for ad hoc work.

I was so broke after filling up I had to get a small iced coffee instead
What’s the world come too

Is the ATO going to increase the cents per km we can claim at tax time?

With the price of fuel, why doesn’t the government cut the excise to reduce the price.

The amount of extra excise/tax they would be making ATM would be insane

Helps to pay for all the government spending I guess

Because it would impact inflation even more than it is currently.

That reminds me, 3 weeks ago having a nice breakfast on the Broadway, sitting outside, and rulebook is trying to sell him fkning book to all and sundry. His lead in question is "Do you like sport"..... I said I hated it

I’d like to think there will be a significant wager on the outcome of the Saturday night fixture …. Kangas vs Bombers.
