Geez! I hate that!

[DFB FGXR6]

Considering I have more Victa's in my care than an actual dealer would carry in stock, I decided I wanted a sign to hang on my garage wall. This is how my order showed up........................











I guess it looks more shabby chic now?

The way it was creased was very deliberate, like it was sent like that, or someone in Australia Post though such an action was appropriate despite the package wrapped with "FRAGILE" tape.

The vendor is making me a new one, but just wish people (Aust Post) would be honest when they screw up. I'm probably too naive for my own good.

Had to take a group of OSHC kids to the cinemas on the Parade at Norwood today, only place you can stop 2 75 seat coaches anywhere near the location is in the metro bus zone.
Pulled up, hazard lights on, kids get off, sticker licker pops out of nowhere and books us both. We explain the situation, not interested.
Rang our office, nowhere else to stop so have to do it again at pickup time, old mate again appears from nowhere and pings us again.
$160 per ticket x4 for being there a total of 5 minutes.

What ****es me off is Councils allow these types of businesses that cater to large groups in their entertainment hubs and then fail to provide safe access for groups of that size to be dropped off and picked up.

The irony is, that earlier in the day I was doing rail replacement shuttles due to industrial strikes and were asked to stop for passengers at bus stops for the same Government thats just booked me for....stopping at a bus stop.

For starters, state government and local council are two different entities, just think you had an overzealous parking inspector on the day, the bus company can appeal the tickets if they wish to.
As an employee I would not bother about the tickets unless there were other alternatives to your parking needs.

Cheers

Not sure where I mentioned State government but anyway, the bus sstops approved for me to stop at would be the same as the one I was booked at so they all fall under the same governance yet it was ok at 1 but not another and thats hypocricy.

They all fall under the Australian Road Rules Act s183(1) which doesn't provide exceptions for being hired by private rail companies.
They're turning a blind eye to us using those stops because it suits their agenda of providing the least inconvenience to constituents during an industrial relations disruption.

lol, depends on with your attitude to the job and customer, I had a parcel recently posted to me which stated it can be dropped off without signature, my wife watched the postie on security cam stop at letterbox, walked over to corner of my garden near door and placed discreetly, which I thought fair enough since it was too big for the letterbox, but was astounded me was the fact he made no attempt to ring doorbell or knock on door.
Previous posties have always done this procedure, why the change?

It may cost a couple of dollars extra but get the vendor to wrap 2 pieces of 6mm MDF around it.

mdf is too heavy and useless, try chipboard.. at least if it gets wet it won't fall to pieces straight away.

Fairly sure that I’ve been called heavy and useless, but I’ve not been bent over double in a mailbox.

As to what I hate… Stump grinder vs water supply :

Off to the scrap three-quarter copper stash. Looking good…

The possibilities are eye-watering. I’ll let you try it out and report back.

By the time my wife got the alert on her phone and viewing the video after the event, the postie was long gone.
