Miserable people
It’s really sad that some people need to make life difficult for others, for no other reason than they can.
I keep putting notices up, for my garage sale, on the community notice board, at New World, and someone keeps taking them.
Logic suggests, given its happens 5 times in the last 2 weeks, someone doesn’t like me. I can live with that. But I’m not the only one this affects.
I have friends who are trying to sell their things here, because their place is not suited to doing it. They have no parking and no access. And this is entirely on my property.
So whoever you are (I’m pretty sure I can guess), pull your head in and stop being so anti neighbourly. If you don’t like me, deal with me, directly, or suck it up and move on.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
