Why is it.................?

Why is it that people choose to live or holiday in third world countries because of the low cost, relaxed lifestyle, slower pace and lack of over regulation, then when something goes awry, bleat, whinge and moan that the level of support they expect didn't exist?

There's a reason why things are so cheap, lifestyle is relaxed and there's a lack of regulation.

Learn some discipline and teamwork as well as important life skills, perhaps a pre apprenticeship?

You mean they'd actually have a job..... where they'd need to do actual work, not just have goobermint money thrown at them? Perish the thought!

Its not just the ones who go to third world countries..... suburbanites move out to the semi-bush only to discover that they cant get a decent latte and lose their minds!

Why is it when people park in a shopping centre car park, so many of them, when given the option of parking in the bay in front of them allowing them to drive straight out later, will STILL park in that first bay? its becoming a bit of a sport for me that I'll back into the bay in front of them so they have no option but to reverse out!

Why dont people plan for a rainy day anymore, and instead rely on gofundmes?

…That you can’t use either script or a formatting button to insert real-time date into phone “notes” apps?

Yes, I could go to Excel but it’s then messier/less easy to share quickly.

You need lessons?

Well..... I guess not all of us are born with natural talent!

I'd be embarrassed, have never accepted any form of charity, always believed in paying my own way in life.

It more about confirmation and refinement of existing and possible future endeavours.

Why are dual cab ute drivers so often impatient aggressive road-raging tools?

[Vekgib]

That's one of life's mysteries. Just seems like some kind of red mist descends as they turn the key ( or push the button ).

Yep, so often & in the most inappropriate handling vehicle for erratic behavior!

[Vekgib]

Also in 79 series Cruisers. Not as prolific as the utes though. Good thing I'm more of a fan of the 76 series wagon.

because the beir idea of the "best" vehicle is at best a compromise that doesnt actually do anything really that well?

Ever notice that the mentality of the average 79 driver seems to be so different to the average 76 wagon driver?

Why is it that whenever I see my neighbours home theatre wifi on my available connections list I fight the urge to connect to it and play something really inappropriate?

Why is it that a vehicle's attractiveness is proportional to its unattainability?

Hi Guys,
Why is it that most Australian Politicians are trying to get the general public into buying EV?
when in the Newpaper a few months ago was a list of what cars they drive and most of them 4WDs and Petrol Powered Cars.

1: Their hypocrisy knows no bounds
2: The best leaders do so by example, and none of them would pass muster as any kind of leader.

WHY IS IT (and yes, capitalised for effect because this is really irritating my freckle this afternoon....)

That when people post a WTB advert/notice, they seem to be too bloody dense to actually post 1: their location, and 2: WHAT THEY WANT

ie: Buy swap & sell group on bookface

Also:

Why is it That some people seem to think that just because its old that its worth something? Theres a group on FB for Sidchrome tools and the volume of illegal drugs that have ever existed cannot possibly justify the prices most of the people have on the gear they have.... Yes, vintage Sidchrome tools are great quality compared to current day offerings, but they're still tools, and I'm going to be using them, so I dont really care if its BNIB or lightly used, they WILL get scratched, dinged up & worn, anyone who actually is willing to pay drug money for old tools just because theyre old and look good.... needs to spend that drug money on something a little more effective like an OD of fentanyl.
