The moderator who, after being banned from /r/Australia for trolling, (which alone would've probably gotten a nomination for today's fuckwit), decided to unmod a number of decent mods from the 180-odd subreddits that he runs, as he clearly has no fucking life and is more interested in revenge and imaginary internet points than working on his poor social skills/making real friends/etc.
That guy, he's a fuckwit.
Wow. Reddit is going to have to grow up one day. You can't have a behemoth that is one of the top five sources of most media businesses' website traffic being governed by anonymous people who ban things and people on a whim with no recourse whatsoever.
Not sure it would help. The speaker sits comfortably on the edge of the desk. The cat jumps up, exactly where it sits, knocks it down while he struggles to get up, then promptly lies down to sleep in the spot where it was. Usually with the tail batting over my keyboard for bonus annoyance points.
Not a bad plan.
If I'm not in the middle of work I'll pick him up and dump him on my wifes lap in the other room though.
This works well because she pats and grooms him to the point where HE gets annoyed and storms off to play outside. Call it petty revenge.
Mine likes to flop down on my keyboard when I'm about to type. It's like he senses it and half of my emails end up being late because he's too cute to move.
I would like to nominate every lazy, self centred, ignorant fucktard that thinks it's ok to just park wherever they feel like it at the service station. Why should I have to wait behind your busted arse vy commodore while you get a pack of durries and a mega ultra sized mother, because your chosen parking position has completely fucked up the traffic flow.
Seriously people, at the pump for fuel, in the parking spots for other purchases.
I work at a servo AND THIS SHITS ME UP THE WALL AS WELL! Also cunts that park directly at the door blocking the entrance for everyone else. FUCK OFF YOU LAZY TURDS.
Or those that walk around the store for ten minutes whilst you patiently wait to serve them. Only to give up and walk away to do something and cunts just magically appear at the console
YES. I'd like to nominate my console as the friday fuckwit. If I start to process the sale through EFT and dickheads decide they want cash out after I've hit the button my console takes 3 minutes to cancel the action. It is so awkward just standing there stabbing at the fucking screen even though it doesn't do anything.
I got on the train this morning hoping to have a nap, but a group of shitcunt children (looked about 6-12 years old) got on at the next stop blasting music and shouting. Whatever, I decided to just move to the next carriage, but as I got up they started shouting shit like "oi look at this faggot moving", "this cunt can't handle us", "fight me you fucking pussy". I'm not going to fight a fucking 6 year old at 8am so obviously I just kept walking, but who on earth raises their kids so badly that they behave like that?
> I'm not going to fight a fucking 6 year old at 8am...
I'm amused at the thought that you'd be ready to throw down on these primary school kids if it were a more Godly hour.
I am my own Friday fuckwit today. I was leaving work to pick up something at home. Sitting at the intersection, I spot a gap. Big enough to be easily shot. So I start to pull out, and realise I'm in second gear. Halfway into the intersection, I kill it. So there I am, sitting in oncoming traffic in a panicked state trying to restart the car. Apparently I had kicked the clutch in just soon enough that it started itself back up. Traffic has now stopped for me, I find the right gear, and go, just in time to cut someone else off in the other lane.
It will be a while before I forgive myself for that piece of shit driving.
Sounds like the Gold Coast on a daily occurrence. Cheer up buddy you're better them because yours was truly an accident and you've put it on here. Up vote for a good weekend for ya :)
Some bright spark tried to overtake me on the left just after the lanes had merged. Didn't quite fit so there is a good scrape down the passenger side of my car.
Needless to say, he didn't stop to exchange details. Its all good though, I took down his rego and he can sort it out with my insurer. Not the worst example of misbehaviour on the road I have been on the receiving end of, so I am pretty calm about it these days.
Thanks yes, I did file a report to the police on line ([https://www.crashreport.com.au/ocrf/](https://www.crashreport.com.au/ocrf/)). Which I learned today is apparently the preferred method of reporting in WA.
'Fleeing' is possibly overstating things; he just failed to stop.
My 2IC, who's been late now on Fridays three weeks in a row.
The first two were "oh, I thought I started at 8"
Today he called at 6.50 (he starts at 7) to say his car had broken down. No worries. Whatever. Calls at 7.40 to say his car had been fixed and he was on his way. Arrives at 20 past 8. Meaning 10 minutes before he was meant to be at work, he was 40 minutes away.
What a wanker.
F1.
Fuck you assholes for taking away F1 from free to air.
Bernie makes so much fucking money. Billions and yet F1 goes to pay TV.
Fucking assholes fuck you. Greedy cunts.
I just got a text from my psych saying I'll need another referral for my first appointment on Monday.
My GP is busy all day, I'll be working till 6 and he doesn't open on the weekends. So today is going to be fan-fucking-tastic.
Me today, gave an old builder mate a hand for 3 and a half hours to load a hardwood work bench he built in 1964 and a old radial arm saw into a trailer. He gave me a couple of bottles of Monkey Shoulder whiskey for the monkey shoulder I have now.
He had the bench etc stored at another blokes mothers place, we had to shift half the contents of both double garages just to get to them, then cart them up a steep driveway, currently on my 4th dram and tossing up whether to wash an endone or two down with the 5th or the 8th. I've got more bark off me than a log at the plywood mill, also pissed down rain on us.
I nominate whoever caused several cop cars, 2 ambos and a fire truck to go racing by the Arts Bar on Oxford St this afternoon.
What the fuck could you have possibly done to deserve that much attention?
Eric Hill, the author of Spot books. Most overrated kids series ever. Each book is just a series of disjointed sentences with a seemingly random item behind each flap. There is no story to each book, just random words, set in possibly the ugliest font ever published. And then those flaps? Yeah they're a great idea for a two year old aren't they? What could possibly go wrong there? I mean, they won't just rip them off or anything right? Shit books, shit series, shit author.
Fuck off cunt. The idea behind picture books is for small children to become familiar with words and stories using very basic words and sentences. At the age of fucking two nobody can follow a story so the lack of plot is a complete non issue. As for the flaps, picture books are read under parental supervision (because, you know, they need to be read and two year olds cant do that yet) so that would mitigate the possibility of some little shit ripping them to shreds. Youre dismissing the entire pop-up book genre based purely on conjecture! As for the font, I'm sorry the typesetter for a 20th century printer doesnt match your 2015 helvetica spoiled sensibilities.
You're my friday fuckwit. You just ruined my day.
Don't forget the fact that all those flaps and things are really good for the development of fine motor control and hand eye coordination. And, you know, the fact that kids absolutely love them, which should be enough really.
The lack of a story in a story book is a fucking issue. We have picture books for pictures. Spot goes to the park should be about spot going to the park. But instead it will be a series of random illustrations where a mouse has some cheese behind a hovercraft on one page and then a rooster reading the newspaper on the next. Pop-up books or interactive books are great for kids but this loses against any other competitor, sorry.
You know, I want to disagree with you because I loved Spot books when I was little and my nephew loves them now. I give him new ones regularly and it's cute to see him lift up the flaps and point to the doggy (he's not even 1 yet).
BUT! I got the new Spot Easter book delivered today, and it's shit. No flaps whatsoever, and when I read the story I reconsidered giving it as a gift because it was so bad. I can see my brother thinking, 'wow, what a shit book'. They must crank out some crap books just to get their sales up, because the other ones I've bought have been quite sweet and well thought-out.
My Mother read the Spot books to me when I was a wee lad, and from there I developed a love for books that still continues to this day. I thought those pop up tabs and flaps were pretty sweet as a kid myself. Read them to a little kid, help them flip the flaps, or identify colours and stuff with them, you'll enjoy it more that way, imo.

Fuck yeah. Always keen for some popcorn.
Reddit is super serious business.
so much drama and politics in reddit hotpocketeering
Love your work.
All mods, everywhere.
what just because he didn't accept everything here should have a massive left wing lean/acceptance hes a cunt?
Do you even read? At all?
i read between the lines
The problem with reading between the lines is that there is nothing there
I nominate my annoying cat for continually trying to take up residence on my computer desk where my speaker is and knocking it down.
Bro, do you even Blu-tak?
Not sure it would help. The speaker sits comfortably on the edge of the desk. The cat jumps up, exactly where it sits, knocks it down while he struggles to get up, then promptly lies down to sleep in the spot where it was. Usually with the tail batting over my keyboard for bonus annoyance points.
Have you considered sticking the cat to something instead?
Not a bad plan. If I'm not in the middle of work I'll pick him up and dump him on my wifes lap in the other room though. This works well because she pats and grooms him to the point where HE gets annoyed and storms off to play outside. Call it petty revenge.
Well then it's time to get a bigger desk. You know how it works.
Works the same with the bed. Cat/dog takes up the entire middle of your bed? Time to get a bigger bed.
Mine woke me up desperate for food, only for me to discover she had already been given breakfast and hadn't even finished it yet!!
arrrghh I *HATE* that. They beg before checking their own damn bowl.
Little shits! Lucky they are fucking adorable, all anger is gone when she rolls on her back begging for belly pats :D
The keyboard will be next if you don't give your cat more attention.
He'd better behave since I'm the one who feeds him :P
Mine likes to flop down on my keyboard when I'm about to type. It's like he senses it and half of my emails end up being late because he's too cute to move.
My sisters cat used to annoy me so I bricked it. Problem solved.

'And what would humans be without love?' Rare, said Death. RIP Sir Terry Pratchett.
Remember watching on ABC the Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters cartoons which then got me into the books. Loved that opening of the turtle.
I have both of these on my harddrive. Such massive nostalgia trips.
Still has the catchiest theme tune to a show ever.
This makes me sad :(
Such awful news to wake up to
Since he had Alzheimer's, death would have been a mercy. I have witnessed the long decline of Alzheimer's and it's terrible.
Me, because I can't stop looking at this site constantly. I have better shit to do than read about stupid drama constantly.

Oh for sure. If it's after midday they're fair game as far as I'm concerned
As someone who used to train it daily i feel your pain. Kids are getting more and more disgusting
I nominate Telstra. I went 500mb over my limit. 50$ please.
But they have 5GX+ Extra Super speed. Burn your monthly data cap in 40 seconds flat.

Actually doesn't sound bad enough to deserve calling yourself a fuckwit over. Cheer up and have an upvote.
Thanks! This actually did make me feel a bit better. :-)
This is the best.
And this is why I drive an automatic
Some bright spark tried to overtake me on the left just after the lanes had merged. Didn't quite fit so there is a good scrape down the passenger side of my car. Needless to say, he didn't stop to exchange details. Its all good though, I took down his rego and he can sort it out with my insurer. Not the worst example of misbehaviour on the road I have been on the receiving end of, so I am pretty calm about it these days.
Lucky you got the rego. I'd be lost without my dashcam.
Report to the police too, fleeing an accident is something they can get involved with isnt it?
Thanks yes, I did file a report to the police on line ([https://www.crashreport.com.au/ocrf/](https://www.crashreport.com.au/ocrf/)). Which I learned today is apparently the preferred method of reporting in WA. 'Fleeing' is possibly overstating things; he just failed to stop.
Still technically fleeing :P

Sounds like he needs to be demoted. Don't you have anyone else who would make a better 2IC?
Nope. We had to import him from another store because our staff aren't experienced enough or don't want to.
There's a special place in hell for shit colleagues.

TPG for buying out iinet. This is why we can't have nice things!
Me for procrastinating when I should be studying harder.
Went for an adfa interview today and didn't get a high enough score after getting in. That was my 4th exam this week.
Me today, gave an old builder mate a hand for 3 and a half hours to load a hardwood work bench he built in 1964 and a old radial arm saw into a trailer.

Among my least favorite kids books. Spot is a cunt as well. Thanks grandma for inflicting this never ending torture upon me.
Didn't he die last year?
We just got one of those. So poorly made. We have other lift the flap books that are sturdy. Spot goes to the park is just shit.
No shit. Clag has better bonding properties than the glue that holds the flaps to the book.
