What has made you Angry Today???????

[oncedisturbed]

Got hit with a 2nd workers comp reduction of benefits notice, twice in 1 week.

Confused and ticked off as hell as I have no idea what the hell is going on and is really starting affect my wife and son.

Just want some friggen normality and work and insurer to play by the rules give us a break.

[Agronaught]

My dad has terminal cancer, and jut a few months after his 80th. No idea how long he's going to last.

Given its movember -- Gents, please get your prostate checked. No excuses and the screening is just a blood test these days, let it go and it will get you.

Sorry to hear about your dad.
I agree, guys get your prostate checked.
Another thing to lookout for is bowel cancer, everybody that has turned 50 should have received a kit to do a feces test, do not ignore it as picking up problems early is best.

Just went and spent a little money I didn't have for a bit of ongoing enjoyment (budgeted for it) and on the way home am now sitting on the side of eastlink with an overheated car with what appears to be a busted radiator and possibly stuffed engine.

Flashbacks to this time last year in exactly the same position.. Is not the patrol again thankfully but it is my daily driver and money I don't need to spend :(

I know exactly how you feel, its total BS they way they treat PPL. Plus this close to xmas too. FH
what has your mouth piece said about this matter, IMO I think they cant do what they are doing to you,
let alone the toll it takes on the missus and family, hang in there and wait till your mouth piece comes up
with a plan. Total BS mate

Never good mate , my thoughts are with you and your family, I'm lucky or un lucky going to the Docs all the time
as I'm forever getting blood tests and yes I have a prostate exam on a regular basis.
But a good reminder never hurt because as blokes we dont "DO TESTS" we should and will

Not sure mate. Have a feeling she's stuffed. Just had some lunch and now gonna head out to have a look

Filling my green bin that I pay for with my neighbors overhanging trees! I never have room to actually use it for myself.

Throw the cuttings on their front grass its their tree after all.
I wouldnt do it your way, talk first if good neighbours though

[Agronaught]

Just tried to go 2 bloody suburbs to get some oil and filters to service the car.

2 hours later I finally arrived home without the oil and filters, traffic is simply that bad. Its that bad now, and the government wants to put another 1.5 million people along paramatta road... Insane!

[growler2058]

Got a new phone today and telstras got some issue swapping sims over so I cant use the bloody thing

[mudski]

Yeah I would but the boss has warned me not too and play nice. I have good neighbors on both sides, it just their choice of tree and placement boggles me. We'll just plant the biggest tree as close to the fence as possible....

[MEGOMONSTER]

Frustrating wives.

[TPC]

I have a big gum tree that is on the fence line so we are not sure whose responsibility it is and it drops leaves and branches more than any other tree i have seen.
I have asked the neighbor if he would like to get rid of it but he doesn't so i have to put up with it, might have to give it a diesel injection.

[relyimah]

I believe in the above cases you are responsible for the maintenance and disposal of anything "your side" of the fence, even if the tree begins in a neighbouring property. Agree that it sucks though...

[Punderhead]

Over all this bull at work. Major arguments between a couple guys who actually work, and fella that does crap work, then those in the office take sides aswell. I have to work with the crap bloke, but I actually work, and agree with the other guys. Puts me in the middle, and I'm sick I getting grilled by everybody, about what the others are doing wrong, grilled by the boss about why stuff takes so long (when I'm doing the work of 2 people cause the bloke u work with just sits on his ass and whinges that I'm doing it wrong) sick of all the crap and just wanna tell them to shove it. Only reason I'm still here is money, and I want to get my trade papers

Similar situation here, the bloke I work with does SFA. I'm on a contract and the rate is pretty good, but I'm tired of being somebody else's keeper.

Yeah. The crap part is he's supposed to be my tradesman, and I'm the apprentice, but There has been numerous times where the boss has confused my work with his, mine being at acceptable standard, his not so. Being the apprentice i seem to get the blame for everything. Just had another argument about a job that was done wrong. Proved to the boss I wasn't there, but I still have to go fix it. Just really annoying me as I have worked the last 2 weeks without a day off, busting my ass, and still getting all this crap.

[mudnut]

Hang in there, mate. At the very least, you have an apprenticeship. The young blokes I talked to this weekend are all struggling to get any work, let alone work for the next couple of years.

I went to download the GU manual and forgot to click no on the do you want box and freaking ASK took over the browser yet again. All good now as I am getting good at getting rid of it.

The last couple of times it happened, I just changed default browser settings, then it disabled Google. This time mudnutette has shown me how to reset pages. It just keeps getting itself in as the default. Annoying as hell.

After stuffing around designing & welding up brackets to hold the door stops on the garage roller door so I could raise the opening by 100mm to accomodate the height of the TeaVan successfully it has pi**ed me off greatly to find that the fully rolled up door now sits at 2050mm off the floor. What is the height of the TeaVan I hear you ask....... 2050mm. Bugger.
Think I’m going to try lifting the actual door on it’s brackets by 25mm. Local garage door joint advised only undo one u bolt at a time. Am off into town now to get some longer u bolts. Hope I’m not back here later whinging about a roller door that ‘let go’!

Well another day at work another argument. I checked my payslip to find I was $250 short. Went to my boss and said wtf. Told me it's because of his missing battery drill and charger, replacement fee. I only use my own. Major argument over who lost it. I've gone home now. Told him I won't be coming back in till I get paid. Should be interesting as I'm supposed to be working tonight.

take the door up cuppa...use rope or small ratchet straps to hold it rolled....let the u bolts off...the spindle will spin to neutral position....is ok...if you can get a hand to lift it down ..then lift it down...move the brackets up the desired height ..put door back on them and u bolts...leave straps on and rotate door about 2.5 turns to retension..if you have no motor then you have to use a weight on the floor and small rope to handle or something on door to stop it spinning back so you can take the straps off and pull door down....what are you doing about the guides and the lead in ?...I used to instal them...plus check how much of the door is left on the roller before you lift it too far....I have left half a foll on before but that is cutting fine

Every dickhead thinks our street is purely here so they can do burnouts! getting to once a week as of late but now this is the third evening in a row, a different car each time, gets over the speed hump then gives it a boot full and fills our house with smoke. I will be waiting tomorrow night with rocks and a baseball bat in hand. I'm sick to death of this crap!

I know you will hate hearing it but..... Call them, ask them to review the recorded notations from your July conversation. Ask to speak to the supervisor. Elevate the complaint and seek action. You should have no trouble sorting it out with the right person.

If they tell you they can't ask to speak to their supervisor and keep going up the chain until you can find the person with the power to make a decision. Expect to be on the phone for a good hour or more though. Hands free and loud speaker is your friend. Just keep at it, be patient and make sure you get a decision before you hang up.

I have settle quite a few cases with Telstra in my day. Never lost a case yet. Good luck bud

[nissannewby]

Im using their 24/7 chat thing which is proving to to be ok at the moment and I have progressed quite a bit which is good. Im a little more than frustrated with them and being able to type allows me to think a little more and be able to read what I write before I say it lol

[Cuppa]

Thanks Menace. I ended up lifting one end whilst leaving the u bolt on the other end still tightened & then repeating the same on the other end. The brackets I made to hold the higher door stops included new ‘lead ins’. I used a rope tied to a rafter, around the rolled up door & tied outside to the back of the Patrol after realising how easy it would be for the door to roll off the support brackets. (Had a ‘moment’). Still got ⅞ of a roll on the roller when the door is shut. All good now. Have raised the clearance height as much as I can, up by about 100mm which hopefully will be enough, but it’ll be very tight. Might still have to let some air out of the tyres.

[GU CAMPER]

Had the same thing happen to me recently. Had a wifi device cancelled and started a new contract with a new device etc

Then I went travelling for a few months to come back to a pile of bills from telstra and a few letters from recovery agents threatening me

Made a few phone calls which they were useless as. Tried the 24/7 chat with no luck. Just more frustrated. Then finally went into a telstra shop.

The guy in the telstra shop looked it up. Could see exactly where they went wrong. He rang Telstra for me. Told them they were idiots and to take the charge off and give me a credit for the stuff around. It was quite funny listening to him on the phone to them

Took a while but finally worked

Looks like getting out of a franchised base company is proving harder than expected. It was looking good for me to be officially finished as of last week, but it looks like now I have lawyers wanting to ruin me. If it goes the way I'm thinking, emotionally and financially I am f$%ked! Its already taking a toll on my family as they are feeling the bite too. Just trying to keep my head above water right now so I don't drown in this battle which is starting to turn full blown.
I have done everything right by this mob, helped them out on numerous occasions to get them out of the poo from clients, fixed their stuff ups and kept their disgruntled customers happy and to stay on contract and this is the thanks I get!

[megatexture]

I have been advise to not put the name up anywhere on the interwebs sorry. As they will be searching for any more ammunition they can find to make the opening in my behind bigger for them to shove their foot in. Not that they will need it already. Just hoping this will be over and done with quickly. Whichever way the pendulum swings.

Are you under contractual obligation

[mudski]

Are you under contractual obligation

This is a grey area Ben. To try to put it in a few words.
I was, and then under another 3 year period but with a "handshake" agreement for me to exit when I want. As the paid period was only for the first three years, not the second. Now I want out, I am going through this.
Its my own fault for doing this handshake agreement I know, as I should have seen the warning signs, but everything was going really good whilst under contract. Then it turned to sh!t afterwards. Getting me to do all their dirty work and stuff ups Which I did and fixed well, and saved their arse on many occasions.
I wont go on about the crap going down at their head office too. But its not rosy there at all too.

This is what happens when you trust someone.
Lessen learned.
Franchises only benefit one person. The owner of the franchise. Franchisee's are only an employee of the company (whom pay to be one)and a franchise owner when it suits them.
I'm just hoping the outcome will be better than I anticipate.

This is going by my experience, I'm not saying other Franchises are the same, but from the people I have spoken to in other Franchises, and in different fields, its all the same but in different ways.

One good thing about all this I will say. It has given me the courage to step outside the box I was living in, prior to all this. I worked in the one place for 18years only because I got comfortable, but got very bored at the same time. It got me out, and willing to have a crack at something on my own. This is working so far. Not the Franchise though unfortunately.

Cheers.

Yeah this is a big lessen learned about that I tell you. I just have to deal with it and try to move on in whatever way this goes. The big annoyance though John. I had a little factory lined up too, not far from home, was cheap to rent as it was via a friend of mine, and was just getting into the finer details of moving into this. Looks Like I ain't now and are stuck at home with stock over flowing everywhere. Haha! Ah well. My train of thought is clearer today, and I'm just trying to look at the bright side. Maybe moving wasn't meant to be yet.

Is that the one for the harmonic balancer? On our yota 4 banger, I used an Impact socket and a breaker bar, with a thick pipe and used the starter to crack the nut. I had to make sure the bar was wedged in tightly and that there was no one around. ( Not recommending that anybody do it this way as it breaks a lot of rules, but an old school mechanic told me how to do it.)

Great show but when are they going to start teaching people the safe and proper way to do things.

I can understand why he did it being way out in woop woop.
It should have been left on the editors floor IMo
not a good look for the boys who seem to have a bit of a following.
Then again when the Meteorite Hunters were on they snatched a 76s work mate tojo with the cast iron towball tongue of a Prado
Sure it did they job but not what we are about. I'd rather stayed bogged I think
Safer options if you use your head IMO

[HuskyInAuz]

Having the same TV commercial come up twice on at the same break and more than three times during a program. I refuse to buy whatever they are slogging and have sent letters to vendors and broadcasters. Given I rarely watch TV, for this reason, so it won't impact me much and so far none of the vendors I do buy from have done the "viewer your so stupid we have to run this commercial many times"

Yeah that's the one. Had to wedge a pinch bar in between the pulley and the body of the car... Managed to get it in the end. Was just really tight!
Cranking sounds like a good idea... But may have caused me more issues haha

how could you do that to a new born, that made me angry,
but happy the cyclists stopped after hearing the cries

[megatexture]

Omg John you have found one thing cyclist are good for !

[mudnut]

Stripped the ride-on mower down and took the parts to a mate that works on them. Looking at a couple of hundred just for some badly designed cast crap that is designed to fail. While I was there another bloke offered his old Rover that has a dying engine (Carby butterfly screw has gone through it) and the alloy deck is on its way out, for the same price.

Decisions, decisions. Persevere with our old Husqvana that is falling apart. (I put a new engine in it last year and it is tearing the mower to pieces).
Buy the Rover, whack the engine in and build a new deck.

Whichever way I go, I have to break the news to Mrs mudsane ... and I can't run very fast either.

Am back in hospital due to not being able to manage the post operative pain. Doctors came round today and had the results of the pathology tests from the lump that was removed :(

It was a low grade malignant tumour of a nerve sheath within the muscle between my ribs. I am booked back in for further surgery on the 8/12 so they can take a larger tissue margin and will then be referred over to the oncologist for further treatment as required. At this stage they are talking about radiation therapy but will find out more over the coming weeks.

I will be fine in the end but it's still a scary process that's ahead :(

Thanks Heaps Guys - appreciate your kind words but yeah, I'm a tough old biatch so I'll be ok in the end ..

Just had my ex husband bring my son up to the hospital so I could tell him in person .. THAT wasn't fun having to explain it all to a 12yr old whilst my ex was sitting 2ft away!! GRRRRR

Told the girls earlier today and they're taking it all pretty good considering. I refuse to lay down and give up plus was VERY lucky it's been diagnosed so early and is actually a rare form of cancer (trust me to be special) so odds are very good.

Off for more morphine now so Nite nite ...

Been in today to. Urology for the results of the latest CT scan of my Kidneys. 6-7mm stone in the right kidney. Happy that they have decided its big enough to act though. Last one was 6mm and they asked me to pass the bastard ! I did on the last day of the Simpson trip!!

The good news is though I am a candidate for Sonic Boom therapy or whatever the Latin name is ;). Booked in for December 11 for a general and. Blast. No cuts. No stent.

Winner! Down side.... I could loose a kidney!

[oncedisturbed]

Saw independent Ortho spec today, basically back is shagged. He has made a verbal recommendation to defer anything for 12 months pending longterm recovery, "if" I recover back to this pre-injury level. If I don't make any positive progress after 12 months then I have to look at surgery with disc fusion and possible disc replacement and something else but I forget what else was possibly needed as well, think it was nerve blocks.

Flies in the face of the ridiculous insurance specs report that there is nothing wrong and that the painkillers and eczema are causing problems in my back.

Hopefully lawyers can sort this crap out.

Don't really understand why they would wait 12 months though

My prior employer stuffed up their tax filing for last financial year so badly it doesn't match the (correct) group certificates they issued.

End result is I'm still waiting on my return months later, and the last pay wasnt even for a full week as I changed jobs a couple of days into the financial year.

Bought a new antenna mast and can't get the old one out. So much for the 10 minute Sat morning job. Grrrr :blowup:

If it makes you feel any better, I was doing my brother a favour and swapped my tyres onto his car so he could see how it went with 33s and in the process I've found that one of my front wheel bearings is stuffed.

Good in a way but now stuck doing wheel bearings on the only day I had nothing planned...

[4bye4]

Sorry to hear that,but it doesn't make me feel better, Still p'd off lol. I guess the only good thing is that you didn't have the bearing fail on the track somewhere.

[relyimah]

Haha I can imagine. Yeah much better to find out in the driveway than on a track.

Just finished the problem one. Will do the other side for good measure next weekend.

[Ben-e-boy]

Not exactly angry, but came home from work after a big day and weekend expecting to chill out and watch muscle car, extreme 4x4 and horsepower tv and it isn't on. 1st world problem

Lol my other housemate has my patrol. sent him a message saying there had better be a full jar of coffee when I get home or else. I had to drink Nescafé 64 when I got to work.... Blegh!

That is more than enough reason for eviction

Problem is I need him to pay 1/3 of the rent, otherwise I would be strongly considering it.....

[cyrilraymond]

Had a great week off, did a 2" lift on the new truck. First day back at work today and the biatch of a boss is already giving me a hard time. Great job, hate the boss. Just got an email to call her again tomorrow. Apparently 12hr day is not long enough. Any one got a job going?

I think the misses just rolled me hard!!!

She rang today to say she's going Christmas shopping with her mum and come home right after work.

Get home at 5, seeya babe...by the way Lachy had an arvo sleep and is wide awake.

Little turd burglar is 100% charged and not sleeping, Mia must have been given sugar as she is hyperactive and Leah's phone is conveniently off...

A bloke drives for thousands of kilometres on his holidays a few months ago and its not until now the the price of fuel drops.

One of my biggest frustrations is sitting behind someone at a round about or intersection who doesn't have spatial awareness. they see a car entering the roundabout on the other side, or if its an intersection a car 300m down the road so they wait, and wait and eventually after hundreds of cars have passed they themselves get impatient and make a move just in front of someone, freaks the bejesus out of me cos I am normally in a hurry when I am behind one of these. and it happens very often

In Plaster after a Hairline Fracture in left Ankle. This is from the Bearii fishing trip and no I was not Drunk.
Slipped on the Murray River Mud after a Thunderstorm.

That's a bugger Bob, how long do you have the cast for?

[Winnie]

Bloody hell Bob that's no good mate. How long will you be on crutches for?
I was on crutches for 8 weeks when I broke my leg and it was an absolute nightmare!

[Bob]

They are having an each way bet and doing a Cat Scan in two weeks to verify it is a Fracture and if it is 6 Bloody Weeks

[MudRunnerTD]

Bugger Bob! thats no good mate

Not good news mate, maybe take some footy boots or crampons next time there will be no slipping in them !

I'm amazed they can tell if its fractured from scanning your poo !?

[threedogs]

not good mate is Lorraines car a manual???

[Agronaught]

Angry is probably too strong a word.

Disappointment.

I had arranged for a weekend off, it's been a shit of a year and I need a weekend alone, me and my swag, deep in the bush to simply enjoy the piece and quiet. To enjoy being in the bush for the first time since our teen decided to become a bigger pain in the arse.

This is actually a coping mechanism for me. Keep it simple, no fuss, absolutely nothing that isn't needed.

My wife has now arranged for relatives to have all the kids and is coming. Now I love my wife and have been trying to spend a weekend alone for months, it didn't have to be this bloody weekend. Now I'm having to pack a ton of shit I don't need and take the bloody camper and then I'm going to have to clean and pack everything away.

I'm sure it sounds ungrateful, but I need some bloody time away from everybody!

Rant over.

The Nissan Maxima is Automatic.

I tell you what driving the Patrol Home (Manual) was not the most pleasant drive I have had.

Learning to use the Crutches is a Pain in the Arse

Not ungrateful at all buddy. Everyone needs their time alone and it's a little bit of a shame your wife doesn't realise your call out for this.

Am sure she is probably trying to help and do what she thinks you need though.

[threedogs]

@ Bob what style crutches do you have , the forearm ones or under the armpit??
IMO the forearm ones are much better, less painfull

@ Argonaught I dont think you are ungrateful at all, lets face it we all could do with some alone time now and then
to just friggen get away from all the shite that may be going on, you could have a weekend away with the Missus some other time.
You know what they say though happy wife happy life so maybe share this weekend with her just M2Cw

The wife needs a break as well. We have a teen who was suicidal earlier this year, over the past 12 months we've gone through a heck of a roller coaster and fortunately a combination of antidepressants and other medications, counseling and change of school have come a long way to resolving some of those issues. Unfortunately we also have some long term mental health issues to deal with as well. Managing a mental illness is hard work for everybody, its extremely hard work when your the parent.


My break will have to be the australia day get together ;)

Cheers

Was having a great chat with jonez911 when all of a sudden my back went and that was that.
Ben gave me a hand as its painful as all get out when it happens, still sore now 1/2 hr later.
Tooks some meds and resting, that has made me angry, every friggen day it will "go" at least once.

I feel for you mate, I really do.

I was crawling under the patrol doing things no fat man should ever consider doing when my upper back went out on the weekend, an hour at the bone cracker did wonders. I couldn't imagine living with that daily over an extended period.

Another blue with the misses this morning, as usual about the teenage step-daughter. Unfortunately I'm thinking of throwing in the towel after 10 years together.

Hope there is a good way forward for you. Wish there was a way to just "fix" these things. Hopefully some time and talking can give you some breathing space. Sounds like that weekend of thinking time would be good if you could somehow.

Let me see, what makes me angry is people like this w--ker, not everyone is the expert at navigating this site like you, and not everyone is here for a free manual, I'd much prefer to buy one than listen to peckerheads like you. Stop painting everyone with the same brush your using. :mad:

I'll just say this and that is there are other ways in which you can handle the situation and they do not involve being abusive... just prove him wrong and not turn this place into a slag fest.

I to never joined for a manual and when I first joined got paid out but chose to respond in a way that made him look the fool without being abusive.

Cheers enjoy your stay if thats why you are here?

Who are you?? Take a chill pill mate and don't start bagging out other members!! Its been done many times before so you have to see a point from the long term members who come and try and give back as much as they take so take a step back and look at the bigger picture

[nissannewby]

I didn't realise it was a directed post? This is the angry thread after all.

Go and buy a manual then mate and all your problems will be solved.

Listen guy's if ive offended anyone I apologize, for some reason that post got right up my nose, this thread is called what makes you angry and it did and if you found what I said was abusive then as I said I apologize, I was unaware that was the norm on the forum, it wont happen again,

No problem mate its easy to get things screwed out of shape on the internet... TPC is a senior member who is like many of us frustrated at people that come on here and post a heap of useless crap then piss off..

We do take pride in not being the sort of place that abuses others... yes we get tetchy at times but this is normal..

Please by all means hang around and you will find we are a good bunch.. cheers.

[4bye4]

It's allowed to get up your nose if your genuine. But you went a bit overboard calling the person who posted that names, he didn't direct his frustration at anyone particular. We get heaps of people everyday who post in threads that are years old just to get the manuals.

Like bloodyaussie said you could have been a lot smarter with your words and your point would have been more clear.
