I really have to share this, mainly to let off steam because not only was yesterday the worst day I have had emotionally since I've been here but I had to deal with 3 complete morons.

I decided to go to Whitfords to get a few things, parked in the sail car park (loads of spaces btw) only as I walked away from my car a woman was shouting after me.

Woman: You've parked in my space
Me: But there are lots of spaces, there's one next to me
Woman: But I always park there
Me: Well I didn't know that and I didn't see you waiting or signalling to go into the space
Woman: I've just got here, I always shop at this time and I always have that space
Me: Well I'm not moving, I'm in a hurry, as I said there are lots of spaces and one next to me
Woman: But it's my lucky space and now I won't be able to go shopping

At this point I didn't walk away I ran from the nutter.

Go into Big W as I needed a plastic storage box for paperwork. Luckily I found loads of boxes (50 odd) all neatly stacked for $7.48 each. At cashiers find there is no code sticker on box. She calls for someone. the 5 women chatting at the Customer Service Desk ignore her until one yelled out for assistance from another girl. Other girl comes storming over - row ensues between 5 women and other girl. Meanwhile huge queue is forming. Other girl then storms over to me and cashier and shouts out "They come in a set of 4".

Me: Oh I didn't realise as they are all separate on the shelf.
Girl: No they aren't.
Me: I'll show you and then you can see for yourself
Girl: (Huffing and Puffing) ttttttttttt

Duly showed her the boxes.

Girl: Well you've pulled off all the cardboard.
Me: What do you mean
Girl: The boxes were all in 4's and had cardboard round each set and you've pulled them off.

By now I'm seriously thinking I am in a parallel universe where only numpties live. Told the girl she should get some lessons in Customer Service (feeling brave) and walked out.

This is the best. Get home to find an express post letter.

27th November

Dear Mrs xxxxxx

You recently applied for a position as a receptionist but were unsuccessful. However, as we have been unable to fill the vacancy we have revisited failed applicants and wish to invite you for an interview at 9am today.

Please confirm your attendance.

OK. how the hell can I go for an interview at 9am on the same day the letter is written when the post doesn't arrive till after midday the next day.

So I ring them and end up speaking to a temp.

Me: I received a letter today with yesterday's date offfering me an interview at 9am yesterday. Have you got the dates right.
Temp: Oh Mrs xxxx. You didn't get the job
Me: Yes I realise that because I didn't go to the interview because you sent the letter too late.
Temp: Yes a letter is in the post telling you you weren't successful.
Me: Do you understand what I'm saying. (I then go on to explain about dates bla bla)
Temp: But you didn't come for the interview
This goes on for another minute or so, she still doesn't get it. Suddenly another person comes on the phone asking what the problem is. I explain again.
Other person: But you didn't attend the interview.

By now I'm ready to scream obscenities at her but didn't.

I explain again.

Other Person: Oh I understand now. You should have phoned us to say the letter didn't arrive on time.

I HANG UP:curse::curse:

What is it with this place - Bloody numpties everywhere. I obviously attract them.

So now you've all had a laugh please tell me it's not just me

Oh dear, what a day you had!

I can totally understand what you are saying though as we had some similar experiences in Perth ourselves!

Well thank god for that. Thought it was just me.

I'm going to hibernate at home today (well housework and crap like that LOL)in the hope my life will resemble some sort of normality just for a few hours at least.

The customer is always wrong.

there's numpties everywhere, i'm sure they're sent to try us
thanks for sharing it with us, it's good to be able to look back and laugh

its just you












what a day you had

Bladdy hell what a shit day eh!!!

I have days like that all the time, i just give up in the end. I even laugh at myself, because i chose to come to Numpty land

I did laugh in the end because if I hadn't I'd have slit my wrists. Things seem to come in 3s with me. My life has been going along quite normally and peacefully since the car/police incident.

It has to be the isolation here that fries the brain because when we went to QLD on holiday people were completely different (normal and sane - relatively speaking) or maybe I just didn't meet any numpties.

Anyway Nu-Shooz I thought you chose to live in stinky minge land (or was it sticky) Whatever it was my daughter was looking over my shoulder and saw stinky minge and asked me if it was rude errrrm

LOL, it was brought to my attention that the ladies of Perth wear no knickers. And with the hot weather they get sweaty, stinky minges So yes, i live in stinky minge land....no it's not rude as it a fact...isn't it?

Anyway i changed it as i am now on the move!

can you please elborate on what a Minge is?

is it just ladies that wear NO knickers that have one of these, am gonny ask the missus if she has one

Oh YUK

Is it a fact though - how do people know? do they look? or is the women with no knickers who told you

ask your missus, but don't forget to duck

Of course you know what a minge is you just want me to say what it actually is....some are hairy, some are bald.

Have you a black eye yet?

Trust me there are numpties over here too. I tangle with them whenever I go to the post office
"Its legal ID"
"No its not, its a foreign passport"
"British passports ARE legal ID"
"Don't be so stupid, I need your driving licence."
"I don't drive"
"Don't be so stupid, everyone drives,a dn everyone has a licence."


Takes me three days now to build up the courage to go to the post office, its the same fight every time.

Last week I had
"I need ID with your address on for this parcel"
"OK, I'll have to come back as I don't have anything on me"
"Do you have a credit card?"
"Yes, but it doesn't have my address on"
"Never mind, it has your name, thats the same thing"



In the cafe at work last week I ordered a sandwich, they make them up for you on request. I asked for butter on the bread. She put a lump in the middle of one slice. I asked if she could please spread it, and on both slices of bread.
"Why?"
"Cos thats the way I would like my sandwich made, please"
"Do you think we are here just to make things the way you want them?"

Even more So you see its not just local to Perth, you must have been lucky when you came to Qld

Oh well I deserved some luck after the crap I put up with when I first arrived here

Now what is it with this ID and Post Offices. Luckily I drive so don't have that problem. I never had to show ID in the UK or has that changed now? Just wondering.

Hmm butter sandwhich yum yum

I nipped to the bakers a couple of hours ago to get some rolls for lunch.

Two wholemeal rolls please
How do want them sliced
Umm I don't they are rolls
Yes but medium or thick

I was seriously tempted to say 'are you talking about yourself' but didn't because the bakery lady is actually lovely. I can only think the sun has got to her. She was very embarrassed when she realised that she was not holding a loaf but a roll
