Why is it.................?

[.:4:.]

Why is it, after the first day of sending my apprentice who doesnt want the van on the train to do lighting checks on his own, he really enjoyed it? He was a bit disjointed when he was expecting a lift to the next site and i put him on the train, but when i rocked up on site to do the work on his list he was happy as larry. He had just put in his headphones and made his list. My manager and i have come up with a pitch to the boss for the boy to have the van on days its needed, and keep his travel allowance. On days he isnt running around the van sits at the office and he is on the train. On days the van is needed he can pick it up in his own time from the office and leave his car and get to site on time. Leave site on time and go get his car. Plus we can use him to do pick ups and drop offs to the other boys, and he is a lot cheaper then anyone else in a work car. That idea floats pretty well with everyone so far.

Why is it that pink and blue can no longer be assigned to children because it 'enforces sexist stereotypes', but pink and blue are used for gender reveal parties?

With greenhorn apprentices is it still allowed to send them to the storeroom or office for a
left handed screwdriver or a verbal agreement form or a tin of striped paint ...

Sending someone off for a long weight was always fun too

Thanks for that. One of my favourite things to do to apprentices that doesnt waste time is, if they ask me to fill their water bottle if i go fill mine i do. I fill mine with cold water, they never specify cold water, so they get the hot tap.

Why is it there are only 2 types of people who work at car parts places? Theres the people who know everything, then theres potatoes. I dealt with the latter today at bursons. Ive been procratinating fitting the exhaust i have for my bf for 4 years. My excuse being dont have flange gaskets. Traced the flange and measured the internal diameter. So a piece of paper to reference. Told the bloke what was needed. He asks for the rego of the car, and cones back with what the factory ones are. Yes the bolt holes lined up to the paper, but it wasnt what i asked for. Its not the factory fart pipe. Ended up with the right gaskets, but it was like i was an alien to him wanting something that wasnt the stock item on the system for that car. Normally you are the model customer if you want non factory stuff and have measurements and all the specifics.

That I rhyme “plant” with “can’t” but not “ant” with “aunt”?

... That when you send you car in for an issue that requires no road testing, you still need to relocate the drivers seat back to your preferred position when you pick it up.. for the ten seconds it takes you to move it from the service driveway to your working area and back, just leave the f****** seat where it is.

How tall are you. I’m 195cm. I move every seat in every car I go in or I can’t drive it. On the flip side I have always had my seat moved on me so that the person can reach the peddles. It’s literally the right thing to do.

185cms which I believe is about average and the ‘kid’ that moved it around the back when I dropped it off was about my height. When I got back in it I could barely reach the steering wheel

Google (never wrong!) says 175.6cms for the average Australian male.

Why is it the media keeps referring to Richard Pusey as "the Porsche driver"? He is also a mortgage broker. He is also a registered nurse. Why is Porsche's name being dragged into this?

Why is it that all these talking footy shows are still airing when there's no footy to talk about?
Watched 2 minutes of talking crap about some players scratched skin and how it affects the whole team and their season or something.

Jobs. It keeps people in jobs.

They're sports journalists, why not talk about how the Aussie Olympic team has been affected by the cancellation etc. 1 hour of a dog chasing its tail is not informative, nor entertaining. And the ratings? If I was paying for prime time advertising, I'd expect to get my moneys worth.

I wouldn't watch any of that crap even if you paid me and the season was unaffected. I watch the game for the game, not to keep these other parasites kept in a job that pays much more than it is worth just trying to improve ratings.

These programs are the reason I had to replace my remote control.

And let's not forget the late night repeats.

Why is it you never seen Greenies help to fight bushfires?

[Tonz]

might hurt their bare footies....
cant tell the difference between real fire and what they are smoking.

WHY IS IT?

When I want to watch the V8 Supercars on TV they have about 15 ads all in a row on TV?

[Tonz]

are you being serious?

superfarts need money to survive, therefore the sell to the highest bidder but the bidder needs $$ also so they sell advertising space.

Why is it impossible to stop the spread of child pornography on the internet but conservative Caucasians of the Christian faith can be silenced very quickly?

Why is it traffic lights have the generic names red and green but the light in the middle is not yellow, but amber?
