The Great Tissue Debate

D, J, T and I were dining at Newtown on Monday night; an over-priced, intimately decorated Thai restaurant.

The food was spicy, to say the least, causing a desperate dash for tissues to control the impending nasal outflow.

It occurred to me that D and T were continuously using the same tissue (!) until every square centimeter was thoroughly used.

Curiosity begs…

D, what are you doing?
Huh?
Don’t you just use a tissue once and then throw it away?
No, it’s a waste…
But, you’ve already used it…
You don’t use the entire tissue when you blow your nose
Yeah, but…

(Repeat from line 3 of conversation)

Vodafone, Australia Post and I

D had asked me to pick up a legal will kit from the Post Office. No worries, I’ve got another overdue phone bill to pay anyway.

Vodafone has been spamming my mobile with SMS ‘reminders’ and ‘courtesy’ calls…

Hello…
Hello this is a courtesy call from Vodafone; your Vodafone account is due for immediate paym…

Hang up…

But nothing twists an arm more than call barring.

Dialing

You have call barring activated on this phone…

Ok. I’ll SMS then…

Sending… Check Operator Services!

D’oh.

So I head down to the Post Shop, greeted by a cheery postal worker.

Good Afternoon. How’s your day?
Not too bad… Just the bill and the will thanks.
Wow! Such a responsible young man…
No, I’m not actually…

(that’s exactly why I’m here)…
