melbaboutown@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 2y

I'm sorry mate. I've had cooked people repeatedly try to get into mine before and it is an awful hypervigilant feeling.

Time to Home Alone it? Whatever makes you feel better. Perhaps with luck a pile of pots and pans in front of the entry point will alert neighbours/break the intruder's neck.

Someone came into the office today with a fairly nasty cough.

They were asked to go work from home about 15 minutes later.

They started protesting 'But I'm already here and it took me an hour to get to work!!'

The absolute fucking brainless audacity of this moron....

Mittens_meow@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 2y

At least someone told them to go home. Been in a workplace where the boss didnโ€™t care. Everyone kept getting sick from this guy who would refuse to stay home when sick.

Patted this seemingly friendly boi while visiting a friend (stray/neighbourhood cats are common in this country), he was enthusiastically rubbing himself all over me and enjoyed being picked up by my friend, but once I scritched his cheek he loved it for 2.5 seconds and then flipped a switch and gave my hand a very deep chomp that literally struck a nerve ๐Ÿฅฒ went to a GP just to be sure and got some oral and topical antibiotics.

I have been having shit luck with cats here this time which is sad.

So last night's attempted home invasion has brought me to bringing a golf club to bed. I have chosen a 5 iron.

But seriously worrying about this shit was not on my 2023 bingo card.

So I'm now in the process of working out how much paranoia is healthy. Like do you set up a little random timer for a light(s), a camera would be pointless after the fact. The motion sensor out the front works but wasn't a deterrent.

Rationally, statistically it's not common. Seeing it first hand is making me irrational.

baconmash@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 2y

I had an attempted break in a few years ago during the day. They ran when they saw me appeared at the window. Never returned. If the attempted home invasion was more of a thief nature rather than a robbery nature Iโ€™d say youโ€™ll be fine.

melbaboutown@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 2y

Cameras can sometimes be a deterrant, and the ones you can see through an app on your phone can quickly reassure you that a sound was just a possum. Or can let you know if there's anyone sus outside, giving you the jump to get out the back door and/or call the cops.

Give yourself a break. You've been through a shaking experience and don't need to beat yourself up about your reactions

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 2y

What you need to do is set up some speakers and a German shepherd/ rottweiller sound track on your phone. You hear a noise, you press play.

I'm so tired of trying to be positive all the time. There's now actually a genuinely shitty attitude bleeding through because I can't seem to be treated respectfully or catch a break.

It's been a bad day.

Went for a night cruise to get better acquainted with the car. I had concerns that the subwoofer wasn't doing much but once I jiggled with some settings and found the right music the bass came to life big time. She rumble. Also, I'm not sure what dark magic controls the headlights but it was able to use auto high beams while behind a car without high beaming the car. Technology is rad. OH and speaking of.. adaptive cruise control in this thing allows going all the way to a full stop which is nuts. I was using adaptive in the USA and when that got below I think 28 miles per hour it just turned cruise control off.

Happy bull is happy with car.

My neighbour is out trimming their tree on the fenceline. Which is a good thing, but a bit confronting as he is on a ladder and can see directly into my lounge room. I will have to try not to do anything too embarrasing for a while.

Wrong answer! Time to put a large sheet of paper over the window with rude slogans written on it in lipstick. Or similar.

SituationCake@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Sometimes I feel old because words donโ€™t have the same meaning they used to. Cute used to mean adorable like a kitten. But now people will call a glamorous dress cute, or a sunset, or almost anything at all that looks vaguely nice. But now what I donโ€™t know, is what is the new word for cute?

A sunset is not cute I will not adapt to that.
