Speaking of notices,
our local council used to have a sign on the car park to the effect that only vehicles 6 metres in length were permitted to park, it became such a joke that they eventually removed it.

All the branches of the Commonwealth Bank that I’ve been into lately have signs on the clear plastic screens telling customers to stay behind the screens, the customers are in front of the screens and the tellers are behind the screens in the locked security areas. Someone authorized the printing of thousands of these signs.

Just thought of another one.
We are probably all familiar (at least in NSW)with the road signs that state “Parts of (town) have 50kph streets”.
When originally issued and erected they read “Parts of - - -have 50 km streets”.
Wags were ringing local councils and asking it this referred to length or width.
These were not cheap signs but professional RTA NSW reflective signs.

Thanks for your thoughtful advice Paul. I suggest you follow it, I'll just fire up the 10KVA gen set for a couple of hours in the suggested middle of the outage, to protect our food.

Dear Hasbeen,

How's it going old cock? Good?

So someone makes a minor blue on a letter going out to a few dozen people at the most and you think that is enough for you to "despise them"?

Why such spiteful language? Have you ever stuffed up on your job before?

I think on the main our government workers do a pretty good job in this country and have to put up with far more crap from people like you than they need to.

Most people would just have a quite chuckle but it is somehow a hanging offence.

Take a chill pill old boy.

"I think on the main our government workers do a pretty good job in this country and have to put up with far more crap from people like you than they need to."

I went to pay my rego yesterday, had to wait in a queue for an hour and a half just to get served.
There was only 3 people manning the 12 available counters.
- Almost as bad as Woolies, 20 checkouts and only 2 checkouts and the express lane open.
They have these portable fold out tables there so you can't get too close to the counter, you have to lean and reach over just to put things on the counter.

I said Covid restrictions have now ended, why is all this stuff still here?
Smug answer - "Well we have a lot of people come in here".
(Basically saying the restrictions don't matter and that her heath is more important regardless of the governments restrictions)

If they have so many people (as she herself stated) then why don't they put more staff on?
- Mind you they still have a security guard, a greeter and a person to issue you your queue ticket.
The reason why this country is stuffed is because they hire 6 people to do the job of 3.
- This type of crap seems to be the norm lately, but what do you do?

They say unemployment is around 4%
Take all these stupid woke kids out of their taxpayer funded University holiday for gender studies, as well as all the extra unneeded staff they hire so they can all do half the actual amount of work and the true unemployment rate would probably be closer to 10%

Incompetence has been fully integrated by these lot.
