I will get married some day =)

I'll always dream of the day I get married. I'll have flowers in my hair thats for sure a hair corsage of snapdragons and orchids please. 

 I'll have lace on the bodice of my dress, fountains of tulle on the bottom and cross stitches you tie up, like those in the picture above. And lots of flowers, everywhere :) Oh it feels great to dream.  

Fined

So I finally changed the layout of my blog. I wanted to have a skin but I couldn't figure out how to put it on properly so I just used the blogger settings and reshuffled. I lost a few pictures I took today so I'm angry and would like to punch something. But instead I'll tell you something else.

I read Jeff's post on stereotypes, and yeah a lot of them are very true. Say, I was going to Burwood shopping centre yesterday and parked outside the centre. Now it's supposed to be front to kerb parking but we didn't know that (cos who reads the damn signs when theyre parking?) and parked the wrong way. We put half an hour in the parking meter and saw the ranger guy who gives out tickets to people.

My dad asked him how much it was etc as he didnt know how much it costed per hour (LOL those machines are hard to read), and he pointed out our car. The ranger was like 'oh yeah yeah okay half an hour whatever..', saw our car and walked away. After shopping we came back to find a parking ticket and the offence was 'front to kerb parking'. Now, we parked the car at about 4.55 and found that the ticket was issued at 5pm which means that the ass of a ranger saw our car and didnt bother telling us about parking the wrong way and fined us straight away.

Rangers have a stereotype of being complete asses. Truth is, they are! The ranger didn't bother to tell us about parking the wrong way instead fined us $88 on the spot. Freaking ass that guy. I was pretty much in hysterics when I heard and I wanted to hunt him down LOL. My dad drove around the block to 'get him' but he was probably hiding in the bushes. Ready to pounce on the next victim.

I know of a story that was in the newspapers a few years back but it stuck with me because I felt very angry about it. A man had just come out of the hospital and underwent surgery on his leg. He had a cut all the way from his groin to his calf and was on crutches. After he came out of hospital he went to his doctor to get a form to receive one of those disabled stickers that you stick on the window of your car so you can park in disabled parking. On the way to the RTA (or whatever you call it) to get one of these stickers, he stopped by the chemist to get medication and parked in a disabled area.

After he parked, bought his medication and returned to his car, a ranger confronted him and issued him on the spot with a fine for parking in the disabled area when he didnt have the sticker on his window. He explained his situation and said that he was on the way to getting the sticker, showing the elegibility letter from the doctor. Clearly, he was disabled and the disabled parking was there so he had enough room to get out of his car on crutches. The ranger still gave him the fine for not having the sticker.

In the end (if my memory serves correct), the fine was dismissed. I just don't understand how the ranger had no compassion or any level of humanity to issue this guy with the fine. He was clearly disabled and was eligible for the sticker and the ranger even saw him hobble back to his car on crutches before confronting him.

Them rangers are ready to pounce. Read the damn parking signs even though they pretty much blend into nothing. Man I do not like parking rangers. They'd make a fortune out of Eastwood.

Common Courtesy Part II

Actually, I changed my mind, I'm back LOL.
Okay now for the rant on elevator courtesy.
When you're in a lift and it stops at your level and the lift is frigging jam packed with people, wait for the next one. No body appreciates being fully squished due to your impatience- you know people step on other peoples toes trying to make room for you and what's worse is the awkward positions your standing in. Maybe you're too close to the scary dude behind you or like facing a person front on and you have no where to stare without being suggestive LMAO. And if the person is your height you try to look past their face cos staring into their eyes would be a horrifying and intimidating experience. And its quite hard not trying to crack up. Also, I think some ladies' handbags are too big HAHA. Or they carry like weapons in them, because they press against you and it starts to hurt. Talk about women bashers. Okay maybe I'm starting to exaggerate but I find elevator rides most awkward. I guess you can stare at your phone. But the chances of receiving a message within 10 seconds is kind of slim. And you don't want taller people to read texts or look at you epicly lose in a game of temple run right? Alrighty I'm off on a tangent now. Anyway, if you miss your stop/floor thingy because you're facing the wrong way, don't press the open door buttons when its already shut. Just wait for it to come down again because people have places to be.

Hmm I think I'm done for the night. Heehee bye for now

Common Courtesy

So I think that some things are just decent and quite frankly, polite.

1) When you give someone your phone number, make sure it is the right number. Did you know that it not only benefits you, but it also benefits the person who you gave the number to AS WELL AS the person they will END up calling and harassing? Oh never thought of that did you? It's as simple as having readable handwriting you know making sure your 4's don't end up as 9's or 0's ending up at 6's or 7's looking like 1's or even 2's and vice versa. If you're giving a number on someone's mobile phone, just double check it- don't need good handwriting for that :) You ask, why am I saying this? Well I've been getting numerous phone calls at 2.30AM and some at 6 AM (not that I pick up because my phone is off/on silent) but it is slightly scary and annoying to know that people have been trying to contact you and you're left wondering if its that urgent or if you want to call back because you don't recognise the caller. See, I got phone calls from 2 separate numbers today, early in the morning so again I didn't pick up. One of those callers rings in the afternoon after 3 missed calls during the day on top of the 2 at 2.30 AM and so I do pick up. 

Me: Hello?

Caller: Hello? (already this is kinda dodgy to me) Foreign accent, don't recognise voice. 

Me: Yeah..?

Caller: Who is this?

Me: Umm..why?

The caller then mumbles something which I cant work out (this is really annoying)

Me: Sorry?

Caller hangs up. Then the phone rings again and I pick up. 

Me: Hello?

Caller: Who is this? (at this point I start to lose it)

Me: NO! You're the one who called me, so who the heck are YOU? 

The caller mumbles something again which I dont get. 

Me: Obviously I don't know you and you don't know me and you're actually annoying so stop calling me it's harassment. 

Then the caller hangs up. YAY. OK really, it was probably a wrong number but what other way is there to tell someone to stop calling I mean they can't even speak english. Just, give people the correct number. 

2) (In this case, picture yourself facing a train ticket machine).

Has it ever happened to you, that you arrive at the train station 1 minute before the train it due to depart and you're lining up at the ticket machine and someone in front of you takes a very long time to buy their ticket? It sure does annoy me. From your point of view it appears that they don't know the alphabet very well so they can't find the station name, or have trouble utilising the strength of their fingers to press the buttons, or they have this intense need to dispose of all their tiny coins, so they slowly put in 10 cent coins for a $3.20 ticket. To those peeps, man, did it ever, ever occur to you that we patient souls have places to be and people to meet? People miss their trains because of you but no, you don't care, just as long as YOU get on that frigging long awaited locomotive and choo choo off while everyone else has to catch the all-stops. While I know the ticket machine is a handy way to get rid of small change, do do it when there is no line behind you. Also, may I say that it doesn't accept 5 cent coins :) 

You can say to us patient souls, just come earlier-be at least 10minutes early for the train. Hmm yes its quite selfish again dont you think? The rest of the people in line have to lose 10 minutes of their day to cater for you small change disposers. Say theres 6 people in line. If you can't work out the alphabet, I hope you can do the math. Thats 1 hour of time people are losing all for your stupid 10 cent coins. Do us a favour wont you? Walk 3 metres to your left and ask the ticket officer to get you the ticket. There's even a whole tray to put your coins on! But wait, theres even more. You can even use your annoying little 5 cent pieces! Genius, if you ask me. See, public transport caters for everyone of different needs. It's great! 

Also, if you take your change very slowly, maybe step aside so others can press their station and ticket type while you collect- it's more efficient. And btw, you were born with quite a few fingers and a hand so don't take out your coins one piece at a time, trying taking at least 2 coins. It's just common sense and courtesy. 

I'll save the rant on elevators for later. 

Goodbye folks :)

Holey Moley Do you remember...
