    Resident battles relentless Woolworths noise ruining home peace

    Silly buggers both work from home and spent 750 grand on a one bedroom city appartment. Working from home gives you option to live basically anywhere. I live in an area where the same money will buy you a 3 bedroom house, 2 minutes walk from the water, walking distance from doctors, physio...

    Worker defies rude customer and wins internet support: 'I'm done'

    On Thursday I was in Bunnings and as usual, had a chat with the lady on the checkout. It doesn't hurt to treat servers as human beings. I was absolutely stunned to hear that she cops abuse at least 5 times a day. What the hell is the world coming to, when this is one persons experience, when...

    Do influencers outwork doctors? Outrage erupts over shocking new claims about everyday Aussies

    FFS, I reckon even your average 'working girl' (yes I do mean prostitute) works harder than any influencer, pays tax and has an 'honest' job.

    Would you be OK with your parcel being tossed like this?

    I've had some very expensive parcels delivered to the wrong address. It was a holiday home, visits by the owner on a very random schedule. This was not Aus Post, it was Star Trak who claimed no responsibility as they had palmed it off to a third party who they wouldn't/couldn't name. Only got...

    Would you be OK with your parcel being tossed like this?

    My experience with Aus Post deliveries is absolutely 100% positive. The couple who deliver our parcels are perfect. They are delivered to our door, the deliverer sings out 'parcel', hits the doorbell/camera and even calls me by name when delivering.

    Tradies rush to snag $59 tool at Bunnings as demand soars

    I can't wear anything that sits so high in the neckline. Is there another way to support this cause?

    Social media trend sparks unexpected supermarket shortage: 'Are we joking?'

    Not to mention cooking cream. It's getting very hard to source and some supermarket staff have either not heard of it, or have no idea where to find it. Sad when the big supermarkets let you down and you have to finish your shopping at the local IGA. It used to be the other way around.

    ‘I said no’: New AI requests put pressure on Aussie GPs. Here’s why it matters to you.

    AI my arse. Absolutely no need for this. If it's for a doctor to review their notes/consultation, surely a simple (and local) recording would do? It could then be erased at the patient's request.

    China’s unconventional ute draws curiosity as launch looms in Australia

    I wonder how many people (besides the ones I know) are now very cautious about buying Chinese made 'rugged' vehicles? Most here have so far failed to live up to expectations.

    It’s not too late to save using cash—but time is running out!

    So it's going to be impossible to buy your grandies a second hand 'anything' as I do, just to see if they lose interest quickly? I always do this with bigger ticket items before spending a lot more on the new item. And bugger the poor guys who just have to unload some belongings just to feed the...
