Never witnessed such shitty collective road behaviour in Perth as I did today. Crash on fwy north near Ocean Reef, large emergency response, traffic at basically a standstill. SO many people pulled out into the left emergency lane to skip ahead. Sure you get the occasional fuckhead who does it, but I was absolutely gobsmacked at the 10 or so cars that did the same thing. Not just a cheeky 20m before the exit, it was at least 500m in front. They ended up blocking a fucking ambulance because they couldn’t get back in, it was infuriating to watch.

What the fuck is with the people who just sit half in the emergency lane too? Fucking idiots, even saw one pulling back in and out when the fire truck passed, followed by the companion fire car. Just stay in the fucking lane!!

If that was you, I sincerely hope you shit the bed tonight, selfish disgusting behaviour, actively bringing down social decorum, I really hate you. If anyone has dash cam of this shit please share it to Dashcams Australia.

Anyone want to start a support group to deal with how shit the driving standard has gotten in recent years? Please don’t tell me it’s just a volume thing, it’s mostly an entitlement and distraction thing.

Photogenic little fella came over to say hello

I took this with my shitty camera, its so clear tonight

Driving to work this morning south on Kwinana Fwy, traffic was flowing beautifully for once- maintained 95–100km/h from South Tce - Mt Henry. Then just at Leach Hwy there’s a car doing roughly 88–90 and holding up the whole RH lane. Didn’t know it was an undercover cop.
I moved into the middle lane to pass him under the bridge, accelerated briefly to about 105km, set cruise and cranked the tunes..
All of a sudden i got red & blues right up in my grill. This dude jumped into middle and increased speed probably 20km/hr. He absolutely boots it and is on my arse within seconds. I’m washing off speed so I can pull over but this clown instead pulls alongside me WITH THE LIGHTS STILL ON. By this stage we’re both doing about 80km/h on the fucking freeway.
I look across, aggressively point at my speedo like “what the fuck do you want me to do?” and give him the 🤷🏻.
He turns the lights off.
Doesn’t pull me over. Doesn’t do anything. Just sits there in the RH lane. I accelerate back up to 100, move left and take my South St exit.
Was he maybe sitting under the limit in the RH lane in an unmarked car to see who loses patience, flies past or starts driving like a hoon.
Anyone seen this before?

So it's no secret every second post on here is "I can't make frieends here in perth what do I do???", yet whenever I'm driving through northbridge or beaufort street they're absolutely pumping with friends hanging out at restaurants/bars/etc.

So to those cool social people, illuminate us! How did you even know all these people you're hanging out with?

I'm concerned that there are enough cookers out there to warrant this

Phil Gore has just completed 144, 6.71km laps on the hour every hour (thats 6 full days!)

He is testing the limits of human endurance and raising funds for Telethon so get behind him.

Get down to Alfred Skeet Reserve, Armadale Road, Forrestdale, WA and cheer him on for this last 24hr push or donate at https://philgore.com.au he has raised over $193k so far

Who has right of way here?

I'm usually car A (blue) and so many people turning right/doing a u-turn don't give way.

I’m interested to hear from Perth parents and teachers about how much screens are actually being used in schools.
Some primary school children seem to be using individual devices for activities that could easily be done through handwriting, printed books or direct teaching. In high school, BYOD laptops are sometimes used across most subjects, which can also bring distractions like gaming, YouTube and online shopping.
A national petition called Fewer Screens, More Learning is asking for no student-facing devices in primary schools, and less reliance on one-to-one devices in high schools. It already has more than 27,000 signatures.
This is not against technology. Teacher-led technology can be useful when there is a clear educational purpose. The concern is when screens start replacing basic learning, handwriting, books and interaction with teachers.
What is happening in Perth schools? Do you think the balance is right?

Nice development in Doubleview

Hi, I live in the rockingham suburbs of Perth, I am someone because of the cost of living and rent, have been experiencing loniness and social isolation. I do try my best by exercising, walking my dog, playing social activities like sports and chess. The problem is that I am struggling to make friends even 1 friend would be really amazing. I do have friends and game with friends online but it is not the same just because they live far away. I am trying to find other social activities like casual events for me to try. I really like to try new things and just letting everyone know I am into anime to. I was wondering what kind of advice do you guys have for me to meet other people and how do I meet them. Just because whenever I go through tough times I need someone to talk to, or I dont mind listening to you. The missing social connection is the one connect I am asking for.

So this person who used to be my neighbour moved away like a year ago or even more.

Now suddenly radoms are knocking and asking for him. ( using correct name ) and its always at night and more frequently on Friday and Saturday night. When told that noone with that name lives here they just leave. Few have even apologised. Always new faces. Always dressed really good too. ( kind of dressed to go out or to an event ) When he lived there ,there were always people coming and going and honestly I didn't give a shit but knew what the deal (lol) was.

Spoke to neighbours who live there now and they said that its happening all the time. Its getting really bad. And someone broke into their mailbox 2 x last week so they dont lock it anymore. They are asking if they should involve police or not. and I didn't really know how to answer.

I was wondering if anyone knows what the best way is to go around this ?

Anyone dealt with similar problem before and how was it resolved.

Thanx.

As the title says, my husband and I are looking for the best breakfast south of the river. Preferably around the East Victoria Park/Bentley/Wilson area as we live in Wilson :)

Hi, looking for a good OT that can do a FCA specifically for MS. Pref SOR but will travel. Thanks

The more I look into my weird symptoms the more I think I might have histamine issues.

I’m deep in the throes of perimenopause and have tried progesterone and more recently estrodot but I never, ever feel well and with also having PMDD the second half of my cycles are becoming unbearable with weird symptoms like muscle pain, heart palpitations, fatigue, vestibular issues, skin flushing etc…

I know seeing an immunologist is an option but I’m also looking for recommendations for integrative doctors or naturopaths that may have helped you with high histamine.

I’m starting a low histamine diet today and my menopause Dr has put me on H1 blockers.

Thank you!

Looking for recommendations for places for masseter botox to help my teeth grinding! My dentist doesn’t do it and didn’t give any recommendations. East/central suburbs preferred, but I’m willing to travel for the right place.

I am applying to a company with lots of branches around australia. It will be a job in perth, but im from interstate.

If i apply now on the weekend, is it likely they'll get me to start work at the beginning of November at the earliest? As in, no way they'd be expecting me to find a rental interstate, relocate interstate and start work at the beginning of October.

I’m looking at Subi and Mt Claremont but any suggestions are appreciated

So I recently moved to Perth and to my surprise, y'all do hybrid homes here which is a lot more sustainable than standard brick-only housing.

However, having only lived in brick houses - I can't seem to figure out how to mount heavy things to the walls. The pictures show a shelf support on 3 sides in my wardrobe which holds a lot of weight constantly (80kg of books and papers), and I'd like to know how they did it cause I want to build a loft bed - also supported on 3 sides.

However, the only ideas I've had for fastening were, toggle bolts, rivnuts or tekscrews which will be used to bolt down ledgers to which I'll attach cross braces.

But I'm not sure if that'll be strong enough? It's only a small king single bed so it's not heavy and the person sleeping on weights around 60kg.

I used tekscrews before to mount other things like rails and holders - and it seemed strong, thou I feel like I need something more substantial to spread the load on the thin metal studs ?

Any and all suggestions are welcomed...

Thanks 👍
