    Watch how this outrageous McDonald's customer gets revenge on a 'rude' server

    Working in retail for years, I’ve seen/heard it all!! Most people are civil & polite but there are many who are “the entitled” & they are the ones who are memorable! As for physical/verbal abuse, you don’t have to be in US to get that, there’s plenty of morons here in OZ who behave in a manner...

    Treasurer Jim Chalmers shares cost-of-living warning amid Middle East turmoil

    Isn’t it typical of politicians to blame everything & everyone for the ‘state of the nation’ other than their bad management! Nobody could ever accuse Labour of knowing how to balance the books! And the comment re the energy costs was a bit rich coming from the side whose Energy Minister is a...

    Did this host abruptly cut off a guest for making an outrageous claim on Sunrise? Find out why!

    All I will say is AFL is per capital the most popular sport in the world! And attendance-wise gets a lot more people attending than any FLN (?) sorry, NFL side. Obviously the supporters must rather watch it on TV (hence the ratings😂) than get off the couch & go & support it!! Whatever floats...

    Haven’t eaten KFC for years & wouldn’t bother with any of these places! My son worked his job at local KFC as his 1st job while @ school & he got to bring home pieces of chicken at end of his shift. Occasional late night snack! All was fine until there was a case of a woman had bitten into her...

    Mum who ditched toilet paper for rags causes massive stir

    No, it’s not uncivilised & disgusting; I did it in a developed nation called Australia! It’s called living in the country on a sheep station with every mod con we could have, except sometimes the Aga stove went out - no hot water until re-heated, Freelite didn’t have wind, had to put huge...

    Mum who ditched toilet paper for rags causes massive stir

    Yes, we had Stinging Nettles at home in country - I remember having to twinkle once when out in paddock w my dad & you looked for nearest bush to maintain your dignity - well that wasn’t maintained for long as I jumped up in pain having squatted on top of a nettle!!!!! They are the worst instant...

    Mum who ditched toilet paper for rags causes massive stir

    Well each to his own, but I couldn’t think of anything more fraught with potential hygiene problems than this practice! So, you’re wiping your derrière with this cloth & then putting that where? while you unzip a wash bag & put it in! And, do you keep

    Beloved soft drink is making a comeback—did you miss it?

    Better than the alcoholic & caffeine laden drinks targeting our young people!! And there’s nothing wrong with a refreshing drink, as long as, like everything - in moderation!? Unless you’re a person who drinks only water, then anything you drink can be labelled “bad” for you, even fruit/veg...

    Making this energy switch could save you $450 yearly

    And yes, that’s great, so they should, but if your usage is high then the price goes way up cos uses more electricity! So it doesn’t end up more viable for a lot of peeps! If Govts were serious about helping, then why did they sell the states grid to China? The State Grid Corp of China owns the...

    Qantas passenger's 'entitled' behaviour sparks fierce debate

    Sometimes it’s up to you to politely make someone aware that they are ‘hogging’ the space - I don’t think we should jump on men because they’re men! There are some VERY entitled women out there don’t worry!! I worked in retail for /5 years the men win hands down for being more polite! Ok not so...

    Poshmark set to leave Australia by next month! Here’s what you need to know before it's too late

    Don’t shop online as a rule - have done for couple of things, but only with Australian companies! Would not touch most overseas based concerns anyway! As an ex-retail worker would rather support jobs here! I know stores have online shopping etc, they have to, to survive but I actually enjoy...

    Making this energy switch could save you $450 yearly

    Isn’t it amazing! Not that long ago as I recall, it was the ‘thing’ that people opted for GAS appliances because electricity was deemed more expensive! We built our home (40yr ago) & it was all electric - mainly because my husbands bestie was an electrician. I didn’t want gas hot plates because...

    ‘A wild joke': Would you pay $580 for this ultra-rare Doritos flavour?

    Not a fan of Doritos what ever flavour. As for paying that amount of money, all I have to say is “a fool & his money are quickly parted!”🤣😂

    Beloved soft drink is making a comeback—did you miss it?

    I remember when I was in boarding school in Adelaide & I stayed with my Auntie & Uncle & my 21 yr old cousin (whom I adored & was going to marry!!!🤣😂) He worked at Halls in Admin & I have tried & loved all the flavours. With the exception of Stonie ginger beer as my auntie made the worlds best...

    Shocking revelation about Australia Post workers—could your parcels be at risk, too?

    Well that is the case with many of these places that hand their business to contractors! For example Woolworths deliveries - my friend has had numerous grocery deliveries that were someone else’s & quite large orders at times! These dipsticks are usually chatting on phone while delivering &...
