Grumpy old buggers thread

Have noticed over the years that when you see those signs saying treat staff with respect or no service/police called it is invariably a place that has very low standards of customer care

I regularly have to put up signs, "Any Fighting in/at the Roadhouse & we will CLOSE for the rest of the day."
Works sometimes!

Even if it's a Land Rover?

Especially if it's a Land Rover.

I think this 25yo is going to have a few problems in the next few weeks.

I would have no hesitation in holding him for one of you to educate him.

He will need police protection......

If one kicked his walker from under he couldn't run & catch you.

I am advised that wrapping a couple of half decent Elastic bands around the Wallet makes it almost impossible to extract one's wallet without out it being noticed. To do with it grabbing the clothing as it comes out.
Dunno what one is supposed to do in the event. Shoot the bugger with the walker Mounted F1 SMG perhaps? Either that or very, very quickly find & replace the M26 Grenade Pin & Safety Lever that was attached to the wallet, but one would need to move at the speed of light to save one's aris.



I don't believe I am the only one here that came up with these solutions. Am I?



Maybe I am?

A friend manages and coordinates the local Driver Reviver, as a volunteer. She went down today, to clean, stock and prepare for the upcoming school holidays.
Upon arrival she discovered the padlock unlocked, but the deadlock, undamaged, securing the door. Once inside it was immediately obvious that entry had been gained. The shed had been ransacked, the only thing of value missing was the contents of the Children's Hospital donation tin (no more than $30ish).
The trespass and theft were reported to Queensland Transport, the scheme operator, who asked that it be reported to the police.
Upon attendance at the closest police station, which happens to be the district headquarters, she was given a phone number to report the incident to, they would not take a personal report.

It was obviously an inside job, there are only two sets of keys, of which my friend holds one and the neighboring service station.

One would tend to believe that an "In Person" call would be more substantive than a Phone call. Remarkable decision.

Was Doom City Paul in town on that date?

Unless the servo gave out the Driver Reviver key instead of the one to the toilets, and someone took advantage.
