After 15 mins , despite spotting something I quite like, I leave the shop having purchased nothing because I FUCKING HATE BEING HARANGUED BY SHOP ASSISTANTS. Dealing with people? Learn body language & more importantly verbal clues such as “I don’t need any help thanks” Could I have been clearer?

Several items offered, I decline “no thanks. I don’t need any help. I’m just looking” More items, & “what’s your name?” Feeling somehow forced, I tell her, now every sentence begins with my name. Every item I’m shown I now say “no thanks that’s not a style I like, I’m really happy just browsing.”

I’ve never enjoyed clothes shopping but today found myself in the city so thought I’d have a brief look around. Overly friendly shop assistant “hi how are you? What are you looking for today?” Me “I’m just browsing thanks, I don’t need any help” That should have been enough. But, no! Clearly not.

The staff at your local medical Centre have no control over the fees you are charged, There is no point in arguing with the receptionist, nurse, or doctor, about this. Your fees are subsidised, but not fully. Feel free to write to the manager or the owners- but please leave the rest of us alone.

Jeesus NZ First’s Health policy is a load of BS. Half of it sounds like MAGA rubbish: reviewing nutritional guidelines, IV vitamin C & better access to (unregulated) supplements?… and then statements such as this: “Find better ways to acknowledge nurses”. Yeah, what the fuck does that even mean?

Not a proofreader in sight. And sadly, this is exactly the type of crap I’ve come to expect from Stuff. I mean, the entire article is about John Farnham and yet nobody along the way noticed the picture says a different name?
A picture of John Farnham in an article about John Farnham, the picture says “legendary Australian singer Andy Farnham”

I do get hyphenated surnames, (both parents’ names) I’m not a fan of hyphenated first names tbh- inevitably the child ends up being called just one of those names, usually the first. Just met a kid who’s got two names hyphenated, followed by two names hyphenated, followed by hyphenated surname😩

Pleased to see lots of parents booking their small children in for free flu vaccinations, and they should always be free in my opinion-for everyone at any age, because money should never be the reason that people can’t protect themselves and their children.

One of the doors literally blew off my garden shed in the weekend’s high winds. The rain can get in not just through the cracks in the roof but through one of the doors as well. My son said “would be a really good time to get that guy around to have a look at it, mum” yeah haven’t made that call yet

I really really need some work done around my house. I’ve had the phone numbers of two recommended handy-people for the past two years. Little by little my garden shed is falling apart, and my roof is leaking more & more, as I procrastinate calling these people to come and quote to fix them for me😩

When I was a teenager, I would literally spend hours on the phone talking to my friends. On the one landline phone in the house. But for the last 20 years or so, I’ve hated talking on the phone. I would literally never ring anybody for a chat (I do video call my brother, but that’s different)

Your regular reminder that, if your appointment with your doctor/nurse is at a certain time, please arrive at, or preferably a few mins before, that time. And yes, sometimes you will be kept waiting because we’re running late, but if we’re running on time & you’re late, then WE’RE NOW running late!

I am as far away from our waiting room as physically possible in this building, & have my door closed. I can hear every word that a patient is saying on their phone. Why do people think this is appropriate behaviour? Literally NOBODY wants to listen to your personal conversation, mate!

And while going to the gym daily isn’t necessarily a bad thing, in this case it speaks of somewhat obsessive behaviour to me, especially when eating a scone at brunch is usually accompanied by the words “I’ll need to do an extra 30 minutes tomorrow.”

I feel ashamed of myself that I didn’t say that to her, because, I should add, that this is the daughter who had serious eating/food issues throughout her teenage years and has overcome them and appears to be living a healthy, balanced life now (while her retired-early mother goes to the gym daily)😑

Friend has returned from a family holiday, was showing me photos & commented apologetically/embarrassed that her (30+) daughter has gained lots of weight. I said “She looks lovely & looks like you’re all having a wonderful time.” Wanted to say “NEVER discuss your daughter‘s body with her or anyone”

I said I thought the lockdown saved many lives and were a really good thing, & he said they should’ve “just locked down the old people and let everyone else get with their lives” at which point I pointed out that actually, if it had happen now, he would be classed as “one of those old people”😑🙄
