Sounds a little immature and vindictive to me. Have you ever been diagnosed with a personality disorder?

Probably OCD. I used to work with someone like that.....

OCD is the guy obsessive about Lining up his cleaning Bottles.

not the guy messing with him when irritated by him

not surprising you are mixed up Frances, considering you don't even know what a Tram Conductor's job is

Someone who is OCD can become irritated and snap back at people if someone interferes with the order they put things in or the way in which they do things. Anyone who deliberately does that to a person with OCD is just a dickhead.

And I don't know why you keep talking about tram conductors when I was talking about ticket inspectors. They are not the same thing. Have you ever used a bus or a tram, or do you just have comprehension problems?

Today I was on my daily 40 minute cardiac health walk when I came upon a good swivel-type computer chair on castors that had a for FREE notice stuck to it.

When I got home I hopped onto my electric bike and powered over to where the chair was sitting on the nature strip.

Put it on the pillion and strapped it down.

Halfway back the damn thing slipped halfway off and I was buggered. I couldn't get it back on because of the camber of the road, and my bike stand is wobbly.

Just when I was about to give up and leave the chair there for someone else, who should come along but a Pacific Islander couple driving a delivery van.

They smiled ~ I smiled ~ and the rest is history.

The fellow got out of his van ~ loaded the chair into the back, and told me to lead the way home.

He even carried it all the way up the driveway for me...

I've had a few uncomplimentary things to say about Pacific Islanders in the Sydney area due to news reports which feature them in the Top Five Ethnic Crime profiles ~ but when they're good ~ they're VERY good.

Second smiley story of the day:

I received a small carton this morning with cat flea and worm treatments ~ (pawsforlife.com.au).

When I emptied the small cardboard box, Gizmo my male cat tried to jam himself into the box. Around and around he went, settling himself lower and lower, but still leaving bits and pieces hanging outside the box.

So up he would get again for another try ... around and around ... only after 10 minutes did he give it up as 'undoable'. Mission Impossible.

Funny you should mention that, Herb.

I lived in Minto (yes, I know) in the mid-1990s, and there was an Islander family living a few doors up from us. Now, this fellow worked as a taxi driver, and whenever we called or hailed a cab, if it was him driving, he would turn the meter off and refuse to accept any money. Down to the Mall or into Parra or wherever, didn't matter. We had a toddler and a newborn at the time and funds were tight even tho I was working, so that was a great bonus to our budget.

They eventually moved as they'd bought their own home, so before they left I went up to his place with a 'thank you' card and a carton of VB for him in appreciation. He was visibly touched by this, and said he'd have done the same for any neighbour, and that's what being neighbours was all about.

I do realise that there are Islanders who are, how shall I say, not so nice. but when they hit the news and everyone's on he 'Islanders = bad' bandwagon, I often think of that neighbour.
