    'The car was a piece of s***': Argument ensues over five-digit repair job

    My car repairer would always give me a call, explain the problem and a quote before doing anything. It seems like this incident wasn't handled in a mature manner by either party.

    Garbo collectors are onto you: This bin day mistake can cost you $1,674!

    Sadly, too many people just can't be bothered to do the right thing.

    Shocking reason why Prince William hired Diana's divorce lawyer

    Are we expected to believe that this earlier comment of yours is a fact and not an opinion?: "The monarchy is nothing but a useless and tenuous connection between the government and religion in the United Kingdom, which themselves are useless."

    You won’t believe why a woman tried to open a plane door at 33,000 feet

    I have always understood, and would fully expect that it was impossible to open one of those doors while in flight. What I don't understand is why they needed to return to Denpasar rather than continue to Australia.

    Aussies share a 'big worry hanging on our heads' as cost of living continues to rise

    Sorry, but the Greens are a total waste of space. They have no idea about how to manage economics, healthcare, power generation, climate change or anything else they rabbit on about.

    Computer Scam.

    I think I've clicked on that photo, and others on FB. Lots of alarming bells and whistles ring out and an alarming pop up says your device has been infected by a dangerous virus. The pop up says to call Microsoft(?) on the given phone number in order to get it removed. The phone number is that...

    Some say it’s overdue, others say it’s unnecessary: Where do you stand on this bathroom debate?

    For goodness sake, just pick one, then walk into one of the cubicles and close the door if you're concerned about other people observing how you're doing what you're there for. As a binary(?) man, I've done my thing at a urinals in ski resorts in Europe while female attendants mop the floor...

    Former prime minister sparks fiery debate with TV host: 'We believe in free speech'

    I think the residents of Darwin in February 1942 might have a different opinion. Also, the incursions on Newcastle and Sydney 3 or 4 months later . . . . .

    ‘What’s this world coming to?’: Outrage as brazen thief targets family home

    The lady was home at the time of the delivery. Surely the delivery driver could afford to wait a minute or two to ring the door bell hand over the parcel, especially for $170 of groceries. It's possible the lady can claim a mis-delivery from Woolworths and demand a replacement.

    This parking behaviour has sparked outrage–could it be happening near you?

    Really? I can't find any reference to this in the Road User Handbook, NSW.

    This parking behaviour has sparked outrage–could it be happening near you?

    I hope they checked that the disability permit was actually his. So many people 'borrow' somebody else's permit then use it for their own advantage.

    ‘Lip-service won’t fix the air we breathe’: Frustration grows over pollution fears

    I can't see that the air quality would be any worse than idling along in heavy traffic on a major road in almost any big city. People rarely complain about the air quality in those situations, they just join the fray.

    Smart or deceiving? Look at this cafe's trick to 'lure' customers in!

    I am surprised the authorities allow these signs which seem to be proliferating. It is an amusing attraction for the premises but could be a distraction for drivers as they read it and spend valuable seconds understanding it.

    'What the h*** is that?': Drivers share their confusion over bustling city's road signs!

    If somebody from Melbourne is confused, it must be really confusing. :LOL:
