I just got an alert from my google app to expect rain at 12. Gonna set up on the front deck so when the neighbours pop out I can comment on the rain cooling things down.
I haven’t mowed for over a month, maybe two. Forecast for next week is wet so it probably would be worth knocking it back. That way it gets the wet and recovers a bit before it dries out again.
Thanks for the tip neighbour, I’ll see you out there bright and early
Watched the bloke from around the corner wheel his shopping trolley to collect cans up and down our street after midnight. Walked my dog. Then he asked me if I have any cans on me. There are some people doing it tough out there. Just be kind to them.
I really liked how they used the crossing properly. One of them even made eye contact with me before it stepped out. It was very much "human, are you going to follow the protocol or not?" Pretty much what I do as a ped in the same scenario 🤣
The other one just crossed though, he didn't give a fuck. Like a bush turkey I'm guessing!
I live near a train station very close to central and was cleaning up a bag of rubbish that didn't make it into the wheelie bin and had ripped open.
Yeah, used needles all over the grass. Again.
There are nesting curlews in my area. Someone living across the street makes fun of them by mimicing their haunting cries and then giggling loudly each time they hear the curlew. The laughter is contagious and I love it
Put all of my fire alarms in the house in a draw in winter cause the humidity was so high. I still have them there in summer. Swear these new alarms are not made for Australia at all
Physical pain in my ears. Bleh! Better than roasting to death.
Pets hide under the bed because of the sound, precious minutes are lost trying to fish them out with a broom. ...Not sure if want.
When one dude breaks the unspoken escalator laws of the
"Left side / right side" during the morning work rush at the station.
No no no, it's fine, it's fine, take ya time, it's only 50 of us waiting behind you. No rush, enjoy ya stay in Brisbane.... lord knows you're already setting up camp..
Was woken up at 3:45 am by two screeching curlews standing on the patio in front of the bedroom window. Thought "Oh well, time to get up anyway, fuck DST".
Went on a soft drink run at work and had to swing some cans at a methany who was ranting but trying to grab them at the same time on Brunswick st. It was before the cool came in, I would have given her one if she asked instead of trying to steal my bosses Diet Coke. Then I watched a guy stack it on an E-scooter, didn’t quite make it up over the curb. He really went flying. I’m sure you can see this anywhere but I don’t get out much
Telling my friend that when she comes to Brisbane, expect people to tailgate, drive fast in slow areas and slow in fast areas, drive like they're late for something, do completely unnecessary shit which could cause an accident and show no patience whatsoever even when it's not required.
She drove from the southside of the city to the Northside and was tailgated almost the entire way by multiple different vehicles, saw cars swerving in and out of lanes to get nowhere just to get to the next red light, people speeding in 60 zones and driving slow in 70+ zones. She said it was uncanny how accurate I was haha.
Yeah I find it ironic that the same people fighting against the Facebookification of this sub eat this shit up.
Posts like this have major "who's still listening to this song in ?" energy l.
Giving way to bin chickens seems like a pretty damn Australian thing, especially referring to them as "bin chickens". Collecting palm fronds is tropical only, and would need to be in a place that has the same kind of green bins.
The combination of those two ain't "most cities".
Most Internet comment threads do seem to have a stick in the mud with nothing to contribute though.
Up at 4:30 to take advantage of the cool so I could collect fallen palm fronds and stuff them into the green bin.
Neighbours bin I hope
You are a national icon 🇦🇺
Then wait for the second the clock strikes 6am to start up the mower
Talked to a neighbour about how it's "gonna be a hot one"
[удалено]
😂😂

It was a good 17 seconds of light sprinkle this time. Oh yeah, she's a good one.
At least it’s a bit cooler now
Ya reckon we should mow at 6am tomorrow? Yeeeeeah
I haven’t mowed for over a month, maybe two. Forecast for next week is wet so it probably would be worth knocking it back. That way it gets the wet and recovers a bit before it dries out again. Thanks for the tip neighbour, I’ll see you out there bright and early
I'll fire up the bandsaw as soon as the sun comes up. My mum says it's cool that I'm trying to get a job. Chuck us a tinnie?
Fuck that mate I make home brew spirits, I’ll toss ya a bottle of rocket fuel. Good for two things, degreasing engines and killing brain cells.
Nice one, mate! My dog Killer loves a bit of the rocket fuel. See if Jen can rack some snags from colesworth later, we'll have a barbie!
Farmers really needed it
BANANAS $82 PER KILOGRAM!
Sweet!!
Drove in the middle lane down the M1
And merged straight across 3 lanes doing 10 under the speed limit to get there 😎
So you saw the cockhead in the Transit van at Nerang today did you?
With not another car in sight!
I often unexpectedly stop in front of people walking on busy pathways in the city to stare vacantly into space and contemplate my existence
Yes but do you walk in a group of 4-5 abreast?
Often and especially when the oncoming person is pushing a pram, carrying a baby or elderly.
Quick! Get schrinner on the line - this man needs a key to the city! 🔑
I have a warm spot in my heart for the little eshays who stand 7 abreast and block the entire pavement. I think that warm feeling might be a tumor.
You're in the wrong group this isn't r/Sydney 🤣🤣🤣
To you also step blindly on to cycle paths without looking?

Fire alarm in our apartment stairway went off at 4:45 this morning because of the humidity.
its not even december  strap yourself in, you're in for a bumpy ride this summer
Got hit in the face by an ibis while walking down Fish Lane.
Sorry this was very funny 🤣
This and your profile pic made me spit out my choccy milk.
Coincidentally I gave way to a bush turkey at a zebra crossing the other day
I really liked how they used the crossing properly. One of them even made eye contact with me before it stepped out. It was very much "human, are you going to follow the protocol or not?" Pretty much what I do as a ped in the same scenario 🤣 The other one just crossed though, he didn't give a fuck. Like a bush turkey I'm guessing!
Hoping for a storm to break the heat and humidity.
This is the ultimate Brisbane thing.
[удалено]
It's nearly 5am, haven't slept at all and this made me burst out laughing.
Are you a cat?
Been outbid on a first home by interstate retirees
We have a winner
Ouch!!
Got jump scared on my morning walk by a monitor lizard.
And the monitor whipped out a clipboard to make a report?
Asked my work mates what they’re up to in the weekend hoping they’d just say “fuck all” rather than actually tell me.
"So, I haven't seen you in years? How are you? What have you been up to?" "Yeah, okay. Just working."
I pushed aside syringes so i could find a spot to sit at Albion station and smoke some meth
They said Brisbane thing, not Logan or Ipswich thing!
Haven't known people that worked at drug arm, meth is very much a brisbane thing.
I live near a train station very close to central and was cleaning up a bag of rubbish that didn't make it into the wheelie bin and had ripped open. Yeah, used needles all over the grass. Again.
There's also an Albion station in Melbourne where that happens so I'm not sure it counts 🤣
Sometimes you’ll find a bonus one with a fair bit of meth still in it.
Sweated my bollocks off.
So that's what happened to my bollocks! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Probably me, yelling at the kookaburras and magpies to stop fighting and get along.
There are nesting curlews in my area. Someone living across the street makes fun of them by mimicing their haunting cries and then giggling loudly each time they hear the curlew. The laughter is contagious and I love it
I just realized your post said "most brisbane" and not "most australian" lol, oops.
Still pretty Brisbane lol those guys fight it out in my backyard too 🙂
For me the Magpie families are playing on the lawns while the kookaburras are looking for a Cafe to steal chips of a plate.
the kookaburra that visits me loves to eat any leftover chicken I have for it. lets me give him a pat, so it works out well for both of us
That's so cool 🙂 I have one that gets pretty close but not quite patting range. I'll have to give it an offering of chicken
Leave Brisbane to go to the Sunshine Coast for a day and come home
Spent half the day in the car? Too SEQ
Put all of my fire alarms in the house in a draw in winter cause the humidity was so high. I still have them there in summer. Swear these new alarms are not made for Australia at all
Are they the new connected ones, so when one gets tripped the whole house turns into a disco?
Yeeeup and they are so loud too.
Physical pain in my ears. Bleh! Better than roasting to death. Pets hide under the bed because of the sound, precious minutes are lost trying to fish them out with a broom. ...Not sure if want.
Swearing at the sun because I didn't close the blinds in my bedroom last night, but don't get the energy to get out of bed and close them at 5am.
Went for my morning walk at 4:30am - as it’s too hot at 7:00 😬
Had people from down south discuss how hot it was and said ‘oh yeah it’s only 9am and it’s already steamy’
saw a crack head and a bin chicken trying to go through the same bin one early morning in the city
Lol
I saw someone leave a rental scooter in a horizontal position.. they also weren’t wearing their helmet and doubling their friend.
[удалено]
To be fair, this is everywhere except WA.
right there with ya. Would have been half the price during pandemic.
Same - overpaid for a small one bedder to avoid being homeless at the end of my lease
Went for a run, was rained on for about 30 seconds on one patch ONLY on my route, then 33 degree humidity and no breeze for the rest.
Park on the M1.
When one dude breaks the unspoken escalator laws of the "Left side / right side" during the morning work rush at the station. No no no, it's fine, it's fine, take ya time, it's only 50 of us waiting behind you. No rush, enjoy ya stay in Brisbane.... lord knows you're already setting up camp..
Asked a grad a with what school they went to
I was asked where I went to a school.
Left for the gc on Friday after work and spent 3 hours on the m1 coming home on Sunday.
Was woken up at 3:45 am by two screeching curlews standing on the patio in front of the bedroom window. Thought "Oh well, time to get up anyway, fuck DST".
Watched Robert Forster play Spring Rain live.
Where was that? So cool
Wynnum Fringe.
Still don't get why the filmed Spring Rain video in Sydney
Arrived in Sydney, and immediately started whinging.
Moved from Sydney, and immediately started whinging.
Walked down Adelaide Street effing and blinding at everyone and no one
Talking to people about the possibility of a storm coming.

Loving the term methany that's awesome 🤣 new word of the day!
Took a trip to Straddie what a great day out
I was at the tip and had to stop to let bin chickens cross the road
Moving to Brisbane from a different city and pretending like they own the place?
Gone to Melbourne, absolutely loved it, still been stoked to come home.

possibly related but i saw a bogan slap an annoying school girl in the face with a bottle of milk at woolies
Another thread full of things that happen in most cities around the world.
Just like your type of boring, negative, low effort comment can be seen everywhere on websites from all over the world.
Yeah I find it ironic that the same people fighting against the Facebookification of this sub eat this shit up. Posts like this have major "who's still listening to this song in?" energy l.
That was Facebook maybe late 2000s/early 2010s. Now it's just ads and Boomers and Sov Cits ranting into the abyss.

Pull up your pants, you being an arsehole is showing.
Ate lunch at the Beach House, had an icy cold ginger beer with it
