What cheeses me off

[RB001]

Or when half the info is there but then the site is linked to another one which is either paywalled or a bit dodgy!

Or you buy a cookbook which reads like a printed blog, i.e. what @Pushka has experienced - on paper!

When you just want a quick recipe online and the author goes into their life story before giving the actual amounts and methods.

This CMO but - on the pages I peruse - there's often a 'jump to recipe' link that bypasses the life stories, endless photos of each step, so-called secrets on buying ingredients etc.

And there’s a chrome extension that sorts this out for you, too. It loads the recipe straight, not the blab

Dress codes are the new laundry brawls discussion. Women get lucky in this discussion.

Just lodge a TIO complaint, only takes 5 mins... if you get refunded before it gets looked at great, if you are still not refunded, the TIO/dodo complaints team will do it...

Plus the TIO charges Dodo a fee

It would appear just threaten them and they'll refund.

I lost my Thai sim card on the flight into Australia last trip when I was changing sim cards. Had about 70 baht so no great loss but I can recover the number as it's registered to me.

Fast forward to today. Just arrived BKK and want to buy a 50 baht AIS Sim. Impossible unless I pay 399 baht for 8 days which is the lowest package they sell.

No limit reccurring 5G internet is ~138 baht for 7 days. Nice little rort going on there.

Now need to buy Sim package outside airport. When I'm in Chiang Mai in a few days I'll try to get my old number back.

I wasn't complaining or even commenting on the dress code itself. It is the "grammar" or lack of specifics that is being called into question.

(I'm currently packing for my world cruise. Definitely the fancy evening dress (not long gown), glam evening set, two coughtail dresses, and pleated satin jade palazzo pants with a matching tinsel fabric top. The latter is for the "Kool and the Cats" performance. As disco as I have in my wardrobe!)

and we want lots of photos (please)

WCMO is parents who are too cheap to pay for seat selection and too lazy to link bookings and check in at T-24 online so can sit together for free. Then expect people who have selected their seats 11 months in advance and checked in at T-24 to give up forward seats so they can sit with their kids for free.

Had my preferred whY seat 6C and a shadow (was still there 10mins before boarding), moved at boarding to 13C. Another WP (6A) also moved without consultation and very unhappy.

No thanks I deliberately did not want row 4 or an exit row (12, 13), as I don't like putting handbag in overhead bin out of sight for thieves to steal my valuables; and not having my handbag within reach increases the risk of me leaving items (phone, glasses, tablet etc) behind due to having to put in seat pocket.

It's only ok to change a confirmed seat if booked seat is broken or you are upgrading me.

QF used to ask for volunteers in lounge to swap and i have done so if equivalent or better seat offered, but no such announcements were made. QF should not assume a WP would prefer an exit row as they obviously could have selected that for free at T-24 if they wanted it given multiple were available.

IMO lazy/cheap people shouldn't be allowed to displace those with status and should be put together at the back not in prime seats.

And before someone says how do I know they don't have high status, they were in boarding group 3 and had only 2 BPs yet two adults with 2 under 2s that they didn't buy seats for, now gifted with 4 seats (6 A, B, C, D) and of course the 18 month old is already screaming.

IMO if you dont pay for your kid to have a seat you should have to suffer having them on your lap.

It's especially galling as it is not a full flight so they could have easily sat together at the back, by moving forward some SGs or PSs.

Lucky for me a P1 coming from a INT flight was going to miss connection so agent managed to move me to their seat 5A but I'm not a fan of window seat as less room, thankfully it's only a 4.5 hour flight so zero need to get up.

Not a fan of a window seat....... but you were originally in your preferred Y seat of 6A?

Original and preferred seat was 6C, it's a very bumpy flight flying through a storm and I must have hit the wrong key, have corrected.

I only choose window seats in J where there is also direct aisle access.

****heads who don’t know the road rules CMO.

Not me driving, but standing in front of the SYD area hotel waiting for the shuttle bus and saw two consecutive incidents, both involving aforementioned ‘Richards’ who don’t know or understand basic road rules.

1. A set of 4-way traffic lights turn green and there is a car turning right. There is also a pedestrian crossing in the main direction of the lights, so with a green ‘walk’ light. Car has to cross pedestrians path so by rules has to give way. Doesn’t and only stops on the pedestrians path forcing pedestrian to also suddenly stop to avoid being run over. Pedestrian fortunately stopped or they would likely have been hit.

2. About one minute later: car in left lane planning to turn left. Lights go green, but car does the right thing and waits for pedestrians to cross in front of them. Motorbike (large Harley type thing) behind them is onto the horn and then yelling because the car is doing the right thing…

Seen that a fair bit, best one was when the car waiting suddenly lit up like a Christmas tree and the driver got out to have a word to the honker and issue them an inappropriate use of horn ticket, a quick way to spend $349 in NSW

And those who leave their towball in place, permanently, even though they rarely or never use it.

I wish my wife was that dirty.

Though in Bangkok all drivers do those things every time. A pedestrian crossing is just for decoration even if controlled by lights.

The HCMC rules seem most interesting.

1. Traffic lights- look out for a policeman before you ignore them
2. Number of wheels rules!

• No wheels, no rights
• 4 wheels overrule 2 wheels etc, etc

3. If possible, don't hit anyone because they might be a member of a gang who will come after your family

Back in the day this was referred to as “luxury car driver privilege”. Similar to urban mums driving their 4wd trucks clogging up the street and up the curb for school pickup.

They know. They don't care.
WCMO. The frequent occurrence these days of people who know better but don't give a carp. I blame 2020.

We have a permanent tow bar in place. Can't imagine taking it off and putting it back on. We use it for the boat.
