Maybe but I believe in karma and karma is a b**ch. I think people who go through life not caring about the needs of others ("stuff you Jack as long as I'm alright") will eventually get theirs.

A few people have made comments regarding private property. Just FYI, drivers who assume that they can get away with this sort of behaviour because it is on private property might be in for a rude shock. If there are parking issues, any owner of private property can approach their local...

I've always considered it a boring day if I haven't learned anything new. Thankfully those days are very rare.

Asshole is British and dates back to the 1880's. Meaning a "contemptible person" is from mid-1930s. Earlier the word was a Northern English and Scottish dialectal variant of ash-hole, a "receptacle for ashes beneath a grate." Wright's "English Dialect Dictionary" (1898) lists many examples...

I'm flabbergasted at the number of people taking this seriously - it's a joke, for crying out loud. It didn't really happen. This is not about real people. Save your outrage for things that really matter.

"The driver had the audacity to spread their vehicle and trailer across not one, not two, but four whole parking spaces!" What, only four spaces? What an amateur! Some guy with a similar ute and trailer managed to take up SIX spots in our local shopping centre this morning. Admittedly, none...

That's against the rules of the Disability permit - if caught or dobbed in, your friend would have lost her permit so she is wise to have nipped it in the bud.

One time I went to the supermarket and the carpark was virtually full. The only parking spot available was partially taken up by another car whose wheels were over the white line. It was stinking hot, over the old century mark, and this spot was a shady one. Not to be deterred, I parked there...

I've done that at the hospital where I worked (before retirement) using the same picture.

If only it was this easy all the time...

I would have been tempted to park in one of those bays (whichever had the most space) and parked as close to him/her as possible. P.S. Quoting the City of Perth by-laws is irrelevant because Balcatta is in the City of Stirling. Bylaws, and fines, can vary from city to city.

Unfortunately not everyone has a positive experience. Because of that, I was determined to be the best mother-in-law that I could be. I was as supportive as possible, I never interfered, I held my tongue (a lot), and I limited my visits because they were running a business (24/7) so their...

When it comes to charging fees to access your own money, there is something else to be aware of. It used to be that if you paid for something with a credit card, some merchants would apply a surcharge, but not if you used EFTPOS. This has gradually become a case of some merchants adding a...

LOL - I thought I was the only one that noticed BMW drivers are the worst! A relative of mine is a parking inspector and he said that BMW drivers are also the worst for illegal parking and not purchasing a ticket in a ticket-parking area. Apologies to the BMW drivers reading this who are doing...

I doubt that "they", whoever they are, have done anything as a deliberate policy. The change in spelling is likely due to widespread use of the internet and social media phenomena where we can access so many websites, many of which are American in origin. The spelling of words with a Z...

I was in the emergency room at the hospital and in the next bed was a 94-year-old gentleman. They were trying to assess him by asking him those questions (what day is it, who is the prime minister etc) and he answered every question with "What the heck do I care? I'm 94 you know". And it was...

Yes, as a general rule of thumb, if you are not expecting it, it is probably bogus. The problem is when you are expecting something and the scam coincides with that. For example, recently I had spoken over the phone with my insurance company regarding an issue. They were to forward some...

I always check the sender's email address very carefully - not only the wording but also the font. An email address may look legitimate at first glance because the address appears to be the same, but look carefully at the font, especially the letter "a" which can be a dead giveaway that the...

I don't think politicians are "trying" to sound American - I think it's just laziness of speech.
