I reserve my most vitriolic ire for the upstanding citizens who deposit their shit bags over the wall into our garden.....

Love the ones who train their dogs to shit and piss on my lawn.

At least in the La Condesa area of CDMX, everyone seemed to have a beautiful dog, and I didn’t see a single dog turd. I didn’t even smell human piss in that town until the last day we were there. Maybe the barrios are different but it was good to see such a beautiful city with people giving a shit (so to speak).

@Giles That is diabolical, surely it's the same person? I don't understand why ANYONE would do that
I'd love to confront them

I’ve been with a mobile / internet company since 2010 and each year the costs keep going up ( my fault I know)
This year they are putting each mobile plan and Internet up by $5 a month which on its own isn’t a lot but x by 3 and over the year etc
Called them up and even with loyalty for that long no deal to be made yet if I was a new customer I could save half of the total bill each monthI’ve just shopped around and signed up 2 mobiles and internet for under $100 a month
I’m to blame as I do it every year with car/ house insurance etc but this year the mobile thing just gave me the shits

@Brian optus and telstra are both as bad as each other. ever since I moved away and wanted to retain my number, that the smaller "telcos" (I'm using aldimobile) start to sound more attractive. and also made me realise there's no point being loyal to any of the big 2/3

@Giles that sucks. direct or not going at all now? I hope this clears before sept
-
@louisbosco Vodafone for me and they have been useless I call them and can’t even hear what they are saying as they keep cutting out and it’s not my signal causing it I can assure you
Ended up going with iinet (again) for internet and then 1 mobile on tangerine as they do the Apple Watch add on for the wife and then iinet for mine
Save a grand a year basically -
Direct to Japan is ridiculously expensive atm
Currently concerned about diving in Indonesia. Due to fly via Doha on 18th, and there are no direct flights.......
And I am due to fish in Oman in April, not sure that will happen either

@Brian yeah vodaFAIL is pretty much non exsistent in rural areas. even city limits. have to say Telstra are decent out in the bush but they're ridiculous in pricing. damn iinet is a name I have not heard in awhile. good to see they're going well for you
-
@Giles I can imagine. haven't had a look at prices but there's news that SQ and all that are increasing prices cause they fly a different route and demand is basically soaring..
you could fly to Indonesia via singapore you know. just putting it out there..
not sure the fishes will be very much alive in April if things continue...

Some lady across from my office who gives me shit all the time laid on the horn at me this morning because I happened to be standing near the apron to her parking lot while I was on a call. It would have slowed her down by about one second, if that.
Honestly, what a shitty way to start the morning. Just laying on the horn for no reason other than wanting to be a jerk.
I am not religious and I am not even sure I would say I am spiritual, but I do try to give people grace. The whole do unto others as you would have them do to you thing actually matters to me. It just makes me shake my head how miserable some people must be to start their day acting like that.
