I'd handshake the man if I was allowed...

Post by Aliqua » 04 Jun 2020, 6:16 pm

Was at the LFD the other day and some 'lady' comes in (with more scabs on her than I child with chickenpox) and says, "I need some f* ammo". The salesman said "what kind?". Her reply, "Any. I dont f* care!". He said, "do you have a license?". She said, "this is the fourth f* shop I've been in today and they have all asked me the same f* thing! Why?" He politely asked her to leave and didnt once lose his cool or professionalism... as shes leaving she steals a sticker from the clearance table...

How often do these loonies come into these shops? It was the most shocking thing I've seen in recent times...

I haven't seen anything that crazy but I've seen 2 or 3 young blokes walk in and ask to see a 'sniper'. So cringeworthy.

Not quite on the same line,,,,, but still disgusting,,,

Years ago I was in a welding/engineering supplies shop to get some stuff.
Also standing at the counter was a bloke that ran a small trailer manufacturing business.
This fella ( lets just say his name was "Alf" ) was well known in the area and was pretty rugged and crass.

But this particular day he really out did himself.

The door opened, and another customer (a well dressed and refined woman) whom I found out later, had been sent in to town by her husband
to purchase some welding electrodes.
She was standing directly behind "Alf" and was waiting to be served, when without any warning "Alf" let rip with a huge and loud fart.

He didn't bother to apologize in any way shape or form.

A few seconds pass by,,,,,,,,,, and then to my horror he said in a loud voice,, "Holy f@ck,,,,, that stinks"
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.

You lads appear to have lead sheltered lives. If you want to see some colourful behaviour spend a few mornings in an inner city Centrelink office. Or a Saturday night in a big metropolitan hospital accident and emergency reception. A small businessman cracking one off will seem like the height of social refinement in comparison to what you will witness in those two settings.

Lol bruiser...im with you there...very sheltered indeed...

I used to work in the Adelaide cbd in a retail shop, right in party/dining central & only one block from the Grand Prix when we had it...& id say i have seen it all...even a guy walking down the street with his bloody donngah pokin out of his fly...
He had a big smug smile & was very happy with himself... :lol: :lol:
Ive even seen a guy floggin himself in his car at all the foot traffic... :shock:

The other thing to do is go into a police station close to party central at 3am on a Sunday morning... :shock:

Ive often registered new firearms at a cop shop next to a magistrates court...some of the characters that ive seen in there for bail applications, drug & assault charges, & just general disfunctional living is always good entertainment...
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...

You're all lightweights, there isn't enough pixels and memory to divulge the never ending pandemonium and hellishly repetitive nightmare that my sister has unleashed on my family, extended family and all of her hemorrhoidial clinger ons and cronies, the gun thefts, the drug runs, the random drug dealers arriving, a never ending parade of drug f***ed randoms, hence me moving back to the farm and evicting her. But let me tell you, from theft to drug trafficking, prostituting, assaults, attempted murder, and f*** knows how many court appearances, yet her and my cousin still get treated like the victims by the police, it's sickening

The thing that this highlights for me is how unaware of the restrictions on firearms and ammunition the average person in Australia is.

Ok not gun related.

Was in Melb CBD last year, walking along a busy street at night. Bunch of young women dressed to the hilt. We all come to a stop at the traffic lights. Suddenly one of the young women cocks her leg and pisses on the traffic light post.

Yep got nothing to say, except there was a toilet in the middle of the road... one of those exeloo metal ones.

So this was yesterday at my local primary school - the gent driving had a 3/4/5 year old strapped in...
For those that can’t make it out - it’s a bench seat bolted into the back of a Ute - with a baby seat strapped to that. At least the kid was wearing sunnies I spose...

Not meaning to belittle your post Tassie,,,,,,,,, but at least (whoever) made an effort.
Unlike the d!ckhead that passed me last Christmas day, going up a blind hill with two toddlers/kids standing upright on the back seat. :thumbsdown: :crazy:

No issue DJ - in fact, I applaud this gent to a degree, he’s not allowed to put kids in the front by law and came up with ingenious way to move his kids!!!

I’ve also lived in Logan QLD for...err about 12 months - it was a hoot (Eg debacle) and one night I had to call cops advising them of a street gunfight...I’ve posted this previously, but the cops (knowing the area) called me back 30 mins later and asked if the shooting had stopped...

Many years ago walking along Glebe point road in Sydney a bloke screaming at all along the road like he was right off his head big bloke bout 6,3-6,4 just mental as .When he was opposite us you could see the SH.T all up his back and it was rank as like it had gone up from his pants must have been walking for a bit yelling at people The cops turned up and nabbed him just as he got to us I did not see where they put him we kept walking but i felt sorry for the cops for first time ever all I could think of at the time was keep moving nothing to see here but the smell was something you dont forget

Appears to be a Ford Bronco with the soft top removed. They had a rear seat and he's broken no laws providing the seats are anchored according to ADR requirements. Kids are probably loving it :)

I used to be a police officer... I've seen plenty haha! But this shocked me in my newly found sheltered life :) plus I just wanted to start a thread for funny non-fictitious stories :)
