Hiro Protagonist Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 WGMG - Parking at work is a pain at the best of times, we're near the end of a cul-de-sac in an industrial estate and half the street is No Parking to allow the trucks to reverse into the workshops/factories and that is a WGMG story and a half by itself). Now we're not exactly a small company, and we haven't got the biggest carpark in the word (about 200 spots for 400+ employees, with no real public transport solution nearby), so a lot of us are forced to park on the street - which due to the No Parking signs, means that some of us are halfway down the road to the highway. So to make matters worse today, old-mate decides that it's a good day to bring his off-road camping trailer and 4WD in to work. Now, an intelligent person would park in the street, but since extra bits have been roped off due to a big drill rig expecting to leave today pushing us further back down the street., he figured that the extra 100m walk would be too much, and no-one would see his nice trailer from the office (it's pretty ordinary actually), so he proceeds to park ACROSS 4 WHOLE CAR SPOTS in the main carpark. And there I was thinking the Queen St S2000 parked half a dozen spots further down was owned by the biggest douche in the company....obviously not. Quote
rian Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 WGMG - 5 cent coins, when you don't want them, you have heaps and when you need one, there are none around, haha FFS breaking a $20 note, why can't things be like $4.50 for a burger, not $4.75 That's real talk, why do we even have 5cent coins? I usually throw mine out. I've almost completely stopped bothering with actual money, I pretty much pay for everything with eftpos. If they don't have eftpos I just go somewhere else, bugger getting money out at the atm when it cost $2.50 every time. Quote

If they don't have eftpos I just go somewhere else, bugger getting money out at the atm when it cost $2.50 every time. I'm the opposite... I get cash out once a week, or even every two weeks, and pay for everything in actual cold hard folding stuff. I find its more tangible and 'real' so I'm less inclined to spend money on crap :) Eft is too easy... Swipe card, push button, money disappears... Edited October 14, 2011 by 7shades Quote
ke70dave Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Eft is too easy... Swipe card, push button, money disappears... you are right there.... i tend to do half way in between. i budget how much I'm gonna spend for the week, and transfer all of the other money out into the savings account. then if i happen to need more, transfer some back.

carbonboy Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 I find its more tangible and 'real' so I'm less inclined to spend money on crap :) It's also a lot easier to bargain a lower price with people when they see a wad of the folding stuff, a keycard doesn't quite have the same effect. :) Quote
7shades Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 It's also a lot easier to bargain a lower price with people when they see a wad of the folding stuff, a keycard doesn't quite have the same effect. :) I'm like that when I buy cars (ask Teddy :P) I know how much its worth and how much I'm willing to pay, the seller's price is irrelevant... So I make one offer and one offer only, with the cash in hand, close enough so they can smell it. They don't like it, I walk away... aaaand usually get a phone call a couple of hours later accepting my offer :P Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 ^^ hahaaha close enough they can smell it... Money smells like ass... Sweet ass Quote
towe001 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 That's real talk, why do we even have 5cent coins? I usually throw mine out. Don't throw it out, i'll take it off your hands I'm the opposite... I get cash out once a week, or even every two weeks, and pay for everything in actual cold hard folding stuff. I find its more tangible and 'real' so I'm less inclined to spend money on crap :) Eft is too easy... Swipe card, push button, money disappears... I've now like that, forced on me i guess. And to be honest finding it better. Quote
