gtarman Posted November 17, 2013 ^ oh man, that's always heart-breaking. People who don't garden don't realize the kind of attachment you have to these things that you raise and nurture and put so much effort into. And then for some bird or some drunken housemate or some giant hailstone to destroy it in the blink of an eye is always a bit jarring. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndianDreaming Posted November 17, 2013 So true... I've saved them from the brink of death so many times... these are the first cactus seeds I ever sowed so they're very special to me! I have 3 left - so I guess it just makes those 3 more special. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gtarman Posted November 25, 2013 That's okay, I thought it was sweet of you to say actually, and not condescending...I'm just a bit of a downer atm otherwise I probably would have made some indication as such Don't cha hate it when: you feel so inescapably trapped in life that you have a panic attack.

AnthromorphicGerbil Posted December 4, 2013 Don't cha hate it when you drive out to the farm to grab some free horse manure for the garden from the kind people giving it away and as you're getting something out of the boot of the car you absent mindedly set the keys down then shut the boot only to discover that in the meantime your little dog inside the car has stepped on the auto door lock button and you're screwed!!! So you stand there trying to coax the little dog over from one side of the car to the other in the hopes that it will step on the lock button again - to no avail. THEN you realize you didn't bring your mobile phone. FRAK! But you do love it when a cute girl working around the farm who is clearly amused by my actions and efforts offers you her mobile phone to call the RAA and they come out and after some hassles get the boot open!!

paradox Posted December 4, 2013 DCHIW you get booked for jaywalking! i mean really? i'd be angry & somewhat offended by the audacity of such a blatant first world joke if it wasn't so pathetically amusing.. i will almost never wait at pedestrian lights unless it's clearly the most practical course of action. i find it insulting to my basic human intelligence to stand there like a tool,waiting for a machine to tell you what to do when theres no danger what so ever to stop you walking across the road. it's those moments when i see someone standing at a crossing with not a car for miles, waiting for the light to go green that i get that irrepressible twinge of deep disappointment for what my own species has become. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtarman Posted December 4, 2013 ^ YES. I feel your pain. One time in Melbourne I went to jaywalk and a cop stopped me and made me wait a whole 'nother set of lights for "being disrespectful". He said if I didn't wait he'd book me. It's pretty stupid hey. DCHIW some random bird breaks into your propagation area and savages a tray of cacti seedlings that you've doted on for months...and to add insult to injury it didn't even seem to eat anything, it just wanted to trash stuff. It also knocked over my sweet potato cuttings that were striking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bogfrog Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) That sucks Paradox! Yick yuck eww fuck. I just found out something pretty horrible. *shivers* Don't cha hate it when you hear very disturbing information about someone you know! Just found out someone who is very well known NZ outdoor party scene is a registered rapist, which combined with my own experiences and observations of his predatory behaviour, pretty much confirms the countless stories of him taking advantage of wasted girls. Please remember to keep your friends safe this summer! It's not all love, sunshine and happiness, every subculture attracts a wide spectrum of personalities.

Micromegas Posted December 6, 2013 Don't you hate it when... you think the fuel tank that powers your generators which powers your house and work H.Q is 1000L but is actually 800L and that extra day you thought you had to refuel the tank is actually a day too late. Don't you hate it when... all your power goes off in your house and office in the middle of the cricket in the middle of the day when it's 40 degrees and when you had the distinct thought earlier that "it would be good to fill the tank up today". Don't you hate it when... the fuel bowser that pumps from the bulk storage tanks to fill the tank that fuels the generators only operates if the power is on! Don't you hate it when... you have to siphon fuel from your car's supplementary tank to fill the tank that fuels the generators that powers the bowser that fills the tank that fuels the generators that provide power to your house, and it's stinking bloody hot and by now the cricket is over cause you're 2 1/2 hours behind Adelaide time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazonian Posted December 9, 2013 Don't cha hate it when...you get your work lingo mixed up with your cactus lingo. On the roster at work, sometimes you get marked as TBC, which means that shift is 'to be confirmed' , so when my fellow workers ask if i am working on such and such a day, i tell them i have a TBM ....... instead of a TBC, they just look at me. Other terminology i got mixed up when i first started at this job was 'DND' , which means 'do not disturb', so when i heard my co workers say "that room has a DND" , i thought there was a drunk and disorderly person in the motel room?! lol. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtarman Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Don't cha hate it when your housemates are always just there? You know what I mean? Like they're constantly clogging up the joint with their presence, getting in the way, getting in your grill etc. Like, they can't just clean the bathroom. Noooo. That would be far too simple and wouldn't take enough time. Instead they have to occupy the bathroom and all adjacent rooms to varying degrees for 3 bloody hours while they rearrange everything and install a new shelf. And then at the end of it the bathroom's not even that bloody clean..*facepalm* Or how it takes them and their partner (who doesn't even live here) 2.5 hours of occupying all the space in the (large) kitchen to make and eat dinner. FFS. I can make dinner in about 15-20 minutes using a small amount of bench space and one burner on the stove. And maybe 5 of those minutes will be me actually standing in the kitchen. I think the problem is half that I live with anti-utilitarian simpletons who flounder about life getting in everybody's way, and half that I generally despise a lack of ample and un-intruded personal space. My personal space bubble is much larger than most people's bubble. I know that I have to tolerate intrusions otherwise I probably wouldn't leave my room (occasionally I don't). But it still irks me having to put off using the kitchen or the bathroom or what have you because of people who are always just there.

gtarman Posted December 14, 2013 Don't cha hate it when those scumbag flyer-people ignore the "NO JUNK MAIL" sign on letterboxes? I just found out that 8 billion catalogues (not counting other junk mail) are sent out in Australia each and every year. And only 20% of that ever gets read. That means that 6.4 billion catalogues are being produced and going straight to landfill or ending up as litter. Apparently those 8 billion catalogues produced annually have the same carbon footprint as 2.8 million cars. Not to think of all the trees they're killing and the resources they're wasting. It's an absolute disgrace. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
