Please do worst of political parties where you can look at some google reviews of politicians' electorate offices and have a laugh at how angry these conservatives are towards Labor MPs, etc. I'm a Labor supporter so this is meant to be comedy where we need to laugh at how ridiculous conservatives attack the people who get the job done.

I once had an elderly patient in the ER report me to management because I looked tired and she asked about it. I told her it was a busy day. To her, I was therefore complaining about my job. They can see something and find the diamond in the rough that they can use to then go complain to the manager. Nurses aren’t allowed to feel like they’re busy when they’re busy. There we go.

That's what you get for breaking the illusion that you're a customer service robot without feelings. The boomers were pretty sure that we all agreed to pretend that was the case while at work, and now _you're_ breaking character... "I stayed in character as a robot at my job for 40 years, but you can't? and while I'm dying no less! I'm off the clock, and people on the clock are supposed to be servants to people off the clock, that was the deal! You kids today are so entitled and lazy! I had to follow this social contract when it didn't benefit me and now that we're to the part where it _does_ benefit me you're trying to tell me we're not doing that anymore? Not fair! Not fair!" Etc. Etc. Yeah boomers suck.

Man I loved the last one. "65-yr old newscorp zombie" was just what came to mind when he described what he was searching for.

I really enjoyed this video However the really sad thing about this is that these political staffers spend a minimum of 3 years at University studying politics etc, just so they can end up working for some dodgy politician that they would never vote for and having to deal with all of this nonsense day after fucking day. I have a friend, that I knew from when I was at UNE studying computing science, that was doing an arts degree in Ancient History that ended up being a lecturer at UNE, but while he was doing his degree and waiting to get the Lecturing job, he worked as a Staffer for Ray Chappel who was the National party member for the Northern Tablelands of NSW from 1987 until 1999. Every time we would catch up he would tell me about the latest office gossip, but then one year I told him something that made his eye's roll. I was looking for share accommodation so I answered an add in the local newspaper and ended up living with Ray Chappel's daughter who assumed that I would also be her live in fukboy that she could also share with her BFF's. As I was already in a relationship I rejected that idea and lasted about 2 months before she got the shits and kicked me out.

@@Elitist20 I'm don't understand why he got an OAM because his nickname was Mirror, because whenever someone asked him a question his response was always the same. "I'll look into it." He was one of the most useless politicians I have ever met, and the only reason he held his seat for so long was because he was a member of the National party in a seat that was full of die hard National voters. When I was in the Army reserve whilst studying at UNE I was given an award for being the best soldier in the regiment and Ray Chappell presented it to me at the annual formal dinner. The worst part was that I had to shake his hand and pretend to smile while he presented to me. I know a few Vietnam war veterans that have also been awarded OAM's that would be very unhappy to know that a bludging politician like Ray Chappell has also been awarded the OAM.

The THX riff over Sky News was ... perfect :)

When I was a 22 y.o. electorate officer there was a job available in the Protocol Dept. of PM & Cabinet, within the gift of the party: it was essentially a sinecure to allow for an extra political hand. Among the duties was making tea and coffee for cabinet. I said (jokingly) I was going to apply for it, because I thought Hawke would be hilarious on Acid. I was called in for an interview without coffee and biscuits by Senator Robert Ray. He saw the funny side.

100% chance of that being the case if you ask me, I'm saying it because violence from animals is chronic where I live.

The deer got up and ran away?! WTF. This after it was so dead it was rotting. I think some of these old people are tripping on mushrooms.

I once worked for a *Undisclosed* Local council, managing the letters and emails that were directed to the councillors. A few weeks beforehand, a rates increase just came into effect, and while one of my co-workers was sorting the physical mail, I heard a bunch of swearing in the next room. Someone had just shit in a envelope and addressed it to the counsellors office. The councillor called the police and demanded a full investigation into who did this, not even mentioning the person who opened it in the first place. They eventually were able to track down the person to a disgruntled farmer in our constituent who was "Protesting" the outrageous rates hike to his property. So now, when we open up physical mail, we have full gloves, lab coats and even a fucking sealed glove box to make sure nothing like this happens again. Pay was alright though.

a good mate of mine works in an office and gets the same cooker 60yr guy call in every friday afternoon to rant for 30min and then signs off with "anyway mate have a good weekend chat next week" and then he finds something else to call up and abuse the staff about. my mate said when he calls they all just put him on speaker and crack open their friday afternoon beers early and have a little laugh at the cooker hahah. they say its like 80% of their job haha

I had a boomer experience when I was 20 and a roadman for the RACV. I had my first call at 6am, was meant to knock off at 2pm but it was a long weekend and the swap meet was in town so a lot of calls happening. the arvo shift guy had to clock on at 1pm and help me it was that busy. anyway, 6pm rolls around and I'm on my last call. A boomer lady, tells me I look tired, I just say "yeh been a busy day, got my first call at 6am" She says "12 hours, that's far too long to be working", I reply "its all good, more money for car parts" Anyway, Monday rolls around and she took it upon herself to call my asshole boss and complain to him about poor treatment etc and I get pulled into the office and ripped a new one by him.

I'm pretty sure that there is a anthropological/tribal explanation as to why a disproportional number of older people become so involved in micromanaging others. Unfortunately they perceive modern day technological advances and better social benefits programs as "gas lighting" and puts them at a higher risk of psychosis.

Heres my way of figuring out if someone is capable of being a politician. Ask a yes or no question. Do you like to walk? Normal people: "Yeah, if I've the time." Politicians: "Ah, see, that's the question, isn't it? On one hand, i like walking and enjoying my time in this great country. Feeling the comforting air and seeing the faces of like-minded citizens. But these days you can't go anywhere because of the (insert party they disagree with) causing everything to fall apart! And it's led to me having little to no time to do so, as i must spend it every day trying to find ways to better this nation!"

I really, sincerely appreciate someone who's willing to not take the lazy easy crowd-pleading "guvmint bad, therefore anyone mad at guvmint good" mentality.
