Like it probably wouldn't apply to your friends but it certainly applies to a hell of a lot of other kids

Oohhh look. More exemplary behaviour.

So for the future, if you're trying to convince others you don't lose your composure and resort to personal insults then you'd be well advised to not immediately lose your composure and resort to personal insults.

Your friend who tapped on can appeal to get her credit back for not being able to use the bus.

The one who lost their card, should be thankful not to have a $220 fine on top of being kicked off the bus.

Search it up? Get off the bus simple. If they've a phone to text you they can text someone for a lift. Get over it. There is, nor should there be any recourse.this is life outside of your me me me bubble

Or, just maybe, they could have ensured they had bus fare. Developed brain or not, simple maths should allow "it costs X to get there so I need 2 times X to get home" also call a responsible adult for a lift home or god forbid walk. No, it's on you all, stop crying about it. Grow up

Might be time to log off reddit for a bit and take a breather mate.

OP very clearly has some lessons to learn, but being this hostile to and wound up over the actions of a literal 14 year old isn’t good for you or them.

Well my friends and I have never heard of paying with cash for the bus. If the driver had asked them to, they would have payed with cash but the driver just yelled at them to get off.

You can’t buy a ticket on a bus with cash in South Australia, whether you’re a dickhead or not.

Chill the fuck out lol. Calling an actual 14 year old a “dick head” over reddit for being a bit out of the loop reflects so much worse on you than it does them.

You can’t pay with cash in Victoria

You're very wound-up in every comment in this thread mate.

Time to cool the jets and log off.

They had the amount in cash but they weren’t aware this was even an option as I haven’t seen a single people pay with cash ever. They simply forgot it the card at home as they were rushing to the bus stop. The first bus driver obviously let them on but the second did not. Their phone was dead, and even so, not everyone has the privelage of a having parents who will drive to pick you up or send an Uber. They did end up walking, over an hour, in the dark. I guess it would be somewhat acceptable to reject someone in the middle of the day but it was a bit too late to walk

Yeah probably right mate, just gets on my goat when this kinda stuff is expressed and then the entitlement is doubled down on. To be open I'm on the gold coast and this crap mentality is rampant up here. They just shit me, also it's like the blister on the roof of your mouth from a too hot pizza, can't stop touching it

> would have *paid* with cash

FTFY.

Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*

* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*

Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.

*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

That’s some Crow eating shit right there.

No little tray for the coins?

Ok boomer.

Just fucking with you.

If at 14, being called a dick head hurts instead of being a learning moment, their life is going to be an eternal, uphill slog.

This is categorically bullshit. I don’t buy for a second that they intended to pay at all and certainly not that there was no possible way they could possibly know that they could use legal cash tender to pay for the ride.

Somehow, these friends are familiar with some bizarrely specific policy established after Daniel morcombe got taken (in 2003) but they didn’t know about being able to pay cash for a bus ride.

Buulllllshiiiiiit.

Yep! Coulda gone home before the first bus ride, got the card then gone into town. They're apparently kids so not going anywhere important in relation to time of day. Also, bet there was a Macca's visit or similar in there somewhere. It's all a steaming load of shit. Hope the lot of them learnt something, but I doubt it, OP doesn't sound like they've got much ability in relation to introspection

bro are u fucking dense, i did pay and i also tried to pay with my fucking card for my friend?! it didnt go through even tho theres money on it, i offered to tap on twice, shut the fuck up, get a life, cant belive ur arguing w a 14 yr old rn..

They had to do it,so that the story wouldn't get buried....

I’m sorry, things are so dire we can’t even get housing *when we die?*

Why are politicians buried 12 feet under?

Because deep down, they are good people.

If you insist on being buried, it should be vertically in cardboard. Much more effective use of the space

What’s wrong with cremation?

lol yeah good one

Our tax dollars paid for that headline.

Well spent in my opinion.

Not with ocean views I'm afraid.

Deeper

I've done some digging and found this.

Religious or cultural beliefs: Some religious or cultural traditions may prohibit or discourage cremation based on their beliefs about the afterlife, the sanctity of the body, or other cultural practices. For example, certain religions, such as Orthodox Judaism and Islam, generally do not permit cremation.

Then those religions need to change with the times or people can get buried out in the bush

Yes. I know that burial is done on the assumption that the body will be resurrected upon the return of Jesus. Firstly their is no evidence for the return of Jesus,if he did actually exist. The disciples expected it in their lifetimes. That was two thousand years ago, he is a tad overdue. If his return did happen the vast majority of buried bodies would have mouldered away to nothing but organic matter at best. Burial is based on delusion as is all religion.

Religion itself needs to die IMO. It's corrupting people's minds.

I agree, and all over youtube you see these nutjobs in the comment section spreading religious bs like "Jesus will come and save us" Or "God this and that"

"Jesus" is an abusive lover.

As New South Walian like myself do you have a pet ?

For future reference, i believe we are called New South Whalians. Because we have whales off the coast.

Oh that's funny!

The term is "New South Welshman" as in Wales - United Kingdom

I know , but as Australians we are known for slang etc .

It was my attempt at a grabbing headline .

Note: only one business owner actually interviewed for the report, and isn't expanding the facility that gives him an advantage over the local competition, or would the public council/state government chargers pushed by the other interviewees be in his interests.

*(bugged by the report's logic that "business finds installing EV to be profitable -> so the government should have more public chargers)*

>bull mastiff

Staffie owners: Oh thank god.

Who would've ever thought it would be a bull mastiff.

how awful, hope they can recover quickly as best they can. I work with dogs and own dogs- as much as I love them, I know that there's realistically nothing stopping them from snapping one day.

Ironically our dogs with known history of aggression are our most predictable- helps that they're older and mellowing out, plus being rehomed from where they were traumatised to become aggressive helps a lot. Still, there are moments where there are hints of that aggression being buried under the surface- they know, love and trust us unquestioningly, and still they have trauma deeply embedded that can be triggered somewhat at times.

I can't imagine what has happened to those dogs to cause that aggression. It doesn't excuse it- as our dogs have shown, dogs are fully capable of self-control and are fully aware of their behaviour and actions. They are capable of learning and being taught to not attack others viciously. It's awful thinking about how they consciously made the choice to attack. Our guys feel bad if teeth accidentally touch our skin when licking us, even when no one has dreamed of getting them in trouble for it. We want them to learn how to safely show affection like other dogs can. These guys wanted to cause harm and somehow learned/were taught to harm others even when those people clearly expressed being hurt.

I've met and petted a friendly bull mastiff before- they are certainly capable of harm though.

I didn't realise what he was, only that he was sitting perfectly in the vet's waiting area with his owners (on a lead), looking like a huge version of some our dogs, and staring with such sad eyes at his owners, clearly wanting cuddles and pets. He happened to be in front of some things I needed, I studied his body language, waited for him to see and judge me, he seemed perfectly fine and wanted me to pat him, so I walked up to the spot, patted/ruffled him on the head and reached behind him to get what I needed. Belatedly I realised that I forgot to ask his owners for permission, and thought that was why they stared at me and him with shock. The big boy was happy with his cuddles and I apologised for being impulsive and disrespectful to them. They didn't say anything as I hurried away in shame.

Only afterwards did I google to figure out what he was- imagine my surprise at finding out that their breed has a rep! Beautiful dogs, I had mistakenly & foolishly assumed him to be related to pugs, bulldogs etc and have a general dopey character to match. I still stand by that- good examples of owners and dogs exist, but too many idiots think they're tough by owning and training dogs to be dangerous, aggressive dogs.

Most physical harm I have gotten from dogs has solely been from them being too affectionate and well meaning, yet to be successfully trained in how to show humans (and others dogs) how much they love them without causing harm.

Forget training dogs to be scary- a big dog that adores you will love bite/nibble you to bits (or pull hair). People fail dogs, but having said that, a dog that doesn't feel remorse when they know they have caused you harm is a dog that is truly dangerous and unfortunately cannot be trusted to be retrained and given a second chance.

Basically, I just want to get off the grid and be alone for a while.

I’m 56 and physically fit but I’m not looking for demanding manual labour.

My experience has been working mostly in media in corporate environments but I have a rather diverse educational and career background.

If anyone can point me in the right direction in terms of finding work where I can be responsible and alone, please feel free to reply or DM. Thanks.

Type "caretaker" into job websites and [things like this one ](https://au.jooble.org/desc/-6657213574050228585?ckey=island+caretaker&rgn=0&pos=2&elckey=338112002571181882&p=1&sid=-4036974934519243910&jobAge=18&relb=100&brelb=100&bscr=5070.2427&scr=5070.2427&searchTestGroup=1_2_0&iid=-934313156358495794) will come up

Check out NPWS. They have all kinds of caretaker job in incredible and diverse locations. You rattle around managing weeds, keeping paths clear, emptying bins, occasionally helping stuck tourists, that kind of thing.

My hubbys uncle quit work to change careers at 42. He said he wanted to go off grid and take it easy because working as a heavy diesel mechanic was starting to wear him out. Anyways, the lady he was dating, now his wife, always went on about how huge his penis is. So for a joke she sent an intimate photo of him to an all men revue type website. Well! It went viral! Next thing you know he is getting jobs all over the place modelling for things like penis pumps and c rings. So I guess if y’all take that leap of faith and put it out to the universe that you are looking for change, just quitting your job and going for it is often the best way. I’ve heard of that back firing too, my cousin Mary quit her job last November and can’t find another one. So it’s horses for courses. Obviously don’t up and quit if you gotta feed your kids.

My serious and I hope not too invasive a reply is: what led you to want this?

Sometimes I wish I was cut out for a life on the sea, or in the forest, or the mountains, with hard labour close to nature ... I realise I'm probably not though

Have a look at work in rural fire towers. There’s one near me and it’s staffed by 1 person during fire season. I’m in the Northern Rivers.

Have you thought about Park Ranger or something?

Heaps of properties in rural QLD looking for caretakers on local FB pages.

Wow, imagine being a refrigeration mechanic in the Antarctic.

i know someone who did this (30 years ago). It's isolating from the rest of the world, not each other.

Lots of people have mentioned that and the more I think about it the more it appeals to me. Thanks.

Nice. Do you think that app/site is any better than some of the more popular sites like seek?

Thanks, I’ll have a look

Thanks. That’s an … interesting take on a change of career.

>My serious and I hope not too invasive a reply is: what led you to want this?

I‘ve been thinking about living a more isolated life for quite some time. I’d say mainly due to being anxious and feeling like I don’t fit in anywhere over the majority of my life has become exhausting so I thought I might find peace if I followed my instincts instead of trying to be someone I’m not.

Thanks. I will

I have, but most jobs I’ve looked at require me to be a citizen which I’m not yet.
