I hate texting Apple phone users because you don't know when they've read the message or not.

What's something that makes you slightly angry?

Then let it go and enjoy your weekend.

Using the terms "unalive" and "grape" to refer to suicide and rape, respectively. I get it, the social media platforms demonetise creators for using the actual terms, it just shits me up the wall.

It's fuckin regarded.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago

Bad time to have a new iPhone hey lol

I just got a work call an hour after I clocked off. Everyone in the company knows I clocked off. Then instead of “cheers mate” it’s “why didn’t you see this earlier”

BECAUSE I FUCKING CLOCKED OFF YOU CUNT.

sorry.

Blue pens annoy me. Pens should be be black. Purple and green are also acceptable ink colours. But blue is wishy-washy.

Unexpectedly blue pens make me slightly angry.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 8 months ago

I love blue pens. Dark blue pens say "look at my lovely writing people". Lighter blue says "I'm barely touching the page. I don't give a fuck. I don't like writing".

Blue stands out on forms/documents done up in black ink and is easier to read and harder to fake. Black pen writing can be hard to read on such forms and is easy to fake. Purple is for wankers, green is just ... just .... not done! And don't get me started on red ink.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago

blue black ink is very nice, as is green black, sepia, and Emperor or Chinese red

Bic 4pen replacement inserts should be cheaper.

People that play loud music on the bus. Hey broccoli head, it's fucking Drake FFS it's not that good either musically, lyrically or anythingly. Klangphonics make better music with lawnmowers, pressure washers and random whitegoods. Get some headphones you twit.
