Anyone with any shitty job agency stories?
I am currently living on job seeker and sleeping in my car in the last month Ive had the worst time of my life became depressed and mostly been lazy in my car all day and night, scrolling Reddit being mean not feeling myself (sorry) the last 2 week's I've been up and down but I've picked myself up attended my job agency every morning and spent from 9-5 there constantly hassling my like consultant person about any position available.
I was successful in landing an interview at a cafe in Subiaco, earlier this week I was told I was successful and I can start this week, I went to my job agency with the good news they then rang the employer and asked them to confirm some stuff and they can proceed with helping me with a uniform and whatever else I need (that was his words) we finished things up and i signed some documents and was told to come back tomorrow and they will take me to a uniform shop, I go back the next day and my consultant was at another office unable to attend to me, the manager instructed me to attend a uniform shop and purchase what i need (this shop is 60kms from there office) with my own money and they will submit an application to reimburse me, I immediately informed her I cannot afford to do that and she was surprised and asked me when I get paid and I tell her, she goes out of the office for maybe 20 mins comes back smelling of smoke and says unfortunately they cannot buy the uniform outright themselves that I'll need to find a way to buy the stuff I need and they will reimburse me after submitting an application to a different team in the organisation (based in Canberra) I told her i can't do that and she apologised and told me to call Centrelink request an urgent payment and to tell them to call max employment to confirm and it'll definitely be approved I pulled my shit together from being on the verge of abusing this lady, I felt like ive been lied to or at least misled, I go to Centrelink who immediately tell me to get on a phone and call a number to get assessed for an urgent payment, I spend an hour on the phone to be flat out told an employment opportunity isn't an urgent payment reason so they instruct me to go back to my employment agency and basically force them to help me the person was actually really supportive and wanted to help, I go back and they dont help, i don't understand how if someone has the opportunity to get a fulltime job you wouldn't want to help them?
Isn't this the basis for these people existing?
I've lied to my potential employer twice now about having issues with my car and he's now given me till Monday to get my crap together, how can an employment agency claim to wanna help them not provide basic things to help me get to work and be safe performing my required tasks it's insane and seems like the government wants some people unemployed.

I’m a girl living in Perth, and I’ve always been too nervous to approach a random guy I find attractive in public.
I feel like it can be pretty hard to meet new people here outside of dating apps, so I’m curious about this from a guy’s perspective.
If a girl approached you at a bar, cafe, beach, shopping centre, or somewhere else in Perth, said hi and asked for your number/Instagram, how would you actually feel?
Would you still feel flattered if she wasn’t your type? Or would you feel awkward or uncomfortable?
And if you weren’t interested, how would you normally respond?
I think my biggest fear is approaching someone who isn’t interested and making the whole situation awkward 😂
If I want to meet guys in their early 20s, where in Perth would be a good place to meet them? Please help me.

Is it just me has anyone else noticed the rise in bars/cocktail bars in Perth using fully pre made cocktails/pre mix mixers in bottles. I get it they’re trying to make them fast. But how do you know the actual ratio of alcohol that’s been putting in these drinks.
Call me old-fashioned (pun intended) I like when they make a cocktail from the actual ingredients especially the classic cocktails and that’s what a cocktail should be. Hiding the alcohol and ratios just makes me not trust them when you’re spending $25 on a cocktail.
Not just there to get shitfaced but you want to know you’re getting what you paid for.

So I have an upcoming appointment at Sir Charles Gardiner in Nedlands next month. However, my mother is quite focused on knowing my weight when they measure me at the appointment, which I am very uncomfortable with her knowing due to the fact that I am an adult, and she is a bit of an almond mom.
She says “don’t tell them not to tell you your weight, it is a red flag to them” (This is an appointment with a surgeon)
I am also on antidepressants, which stop me from easily losing weight, although I am a normal weight.
Is there any way that i can confidentially tell the clinic before the appointment to weigh me on my own without my mother (but make it seem like normal policy), and for them to not tell me my number, as it makes me very uncomfortable.
. I am an adult, so my mother has no reason to know my measurement

While driving south of Mitchell Freeway near Joondalup a Ford Raptor reg “Tank 89” passenger through rubbish out the window. I blow my horn and the delightful lady passenger gave me the 1 finger solute. In this day and age do the general public find it acceptable to through rubbish from cars?
Is there any point in reporting them and if so where?

Some context before the story (was scrolling thru old photos and totally forgot I did this lol and thought yal might enjoy this) long story
Close to a year ago (photos say October 29th 12:15pm, I wouldn’t have remembered the date without the photos😂)
My 3 chooks needed some chook feed and usually my mate would drop some when he needed some for his, he’s got chooks too so it was a win win. Usually just paid him buuuut this time round he wouldn’t be able to drop it to mine (were in the hills and I can’t drive- yet)
So, I thought would be good idea to just lug them back and have a drink to finish the day. Anyone who knows these poultry bags know how HEAVY AF they are 20kg each. I was feelin adventurous and just felt like doin it. So I got my backpack, some water and phone, trolley and off I went.
Anyway.. I jumped on a bus with my trolley to RM smiths and sons down the hill near the intersection, wasn’t sure if was allowed to bring bags of chook food on the bus so I thought yolo I got this ez I’ll just walk up lesmurdie falls to get home😂😂
Important to mention I wore hi vis socks so dw about my safety AND gloves.
Walked thru forestfield and greeted an elder lady, we spoke abt the weather and I carried on. Loads of folks drove by me, said hey to some puppies in someone’s yard and made my way to the bottom of lesmurdie falls.
The hill was daunting as I was approaching on the roads🫠 looked at some horses and made it to the car park at the bottom of the falls.
I had a break for like 10 mins was already questioning my mortality at this point, I sat down and just didn’t wanna move lmao but knew I had too
There were people out walking and ngl I felt a bit embarrassed, I said hi to a couple that eyed me down like this 🧐🧐 they didn’t say hi back.. I felt suss af
After that I didn’t wanna directly walk up the main track that goes up thru the falls as felt like I’d be in peoples way and get judged, my peak introvert moment here
So I began my slow ascent up the track 1 step a time.. legit was sweating hard and wasn’t even a few metres in, heart was racing.
I went up the track that leads to the end road at the top (those who’ve walked this know how dangerous this shi way is, rocky ass slippery steep trek)
From memory, the bags slipped a few times so I had to stop and put them back on the trolley🥲 it was agony, legs shaky and muscles pumping hard with every damn step. My mind was strugglin, slipped on my ass a few times, cursed alooot.. I was fearful the bags would break so I had to keep them balanced
About 1/3 of the way through, 2 absolute beautiful women walked by me down the hill (one sounded european ish) important to mention this lol, they gave me encouraging words and wished me luck.) boosted my motivation by atleast 1000% and I blushed, or was dying of overheating probs both)
so I kept pushing onward.. took a lot of little breaks at different points absorbing the view. Sun was baking me good for a while and ran out of water
By the time I was nearing the way to the top, steep ass hills just never stopped legit just kept on going😂😭 I took these photos of the track behind me and then pissed on a big rock next to the track, took in the view as I let it out. Divine
(Sorry I didn’t take better pics was just wanting to get home)
Was so light headed and feint ish I recall I just didn’t give af where I pissed at the time, definitely had my back to the city in full view and might’ve got some on my pants. Am honest, it was tuff
When I made it to the top I felt like I just achieved the impossible.. was some folks chilling in their car that watched me just pop out on the side of the road with this trolley lookin sweaty and suss af with my face lookin like this 👁️👄👁️
Then walked another 40 mins to home.. the roads were a lot smoother than the rocky ground I trekked up but I pushed on.. was a relief to be alive lmao was cooked
When I got home, had lemonade and filled up my birb feeders.. had to shower as my clothes were soaked with sweat. Had aching feet and legs for days w/ some blisters.
Had a drink and slept 🛌
But ye, forgot I did this till I saw the photos lol😂
This was the 2nd time I carried something up this track hence why I chose this way
Till our next story time, I love perth😂✌️

Hello! Does anyone have any recommendations for Pilates studios that are more classic and offer mat classes that are slowwww, noticing that Pilates is getting more and more similar to HITT training as it gets more popular. Hoping to find a studio that offers slow and intentional movement mat preferred :)
Thank you!

I’ve never been to a show at RAC Arena before and doors open at 6:00. My partner and I plan to get dinner close by before hand and then catch the opening act at 6:45, what time should we start queueing to ensure we don’t miss the opening act? The next band is on at 7:45 and the headliner isn’t on until 9:00.

I’m looking for a reliable air conditioning company to supply and install a replacement for our ducted reverse cycle air conditioning system, either a Daikin or a Mitsubishi Electric. I would like it to have an AirTouch 5 controller, and I would like a bypass duct included. If you have had positive experiences with any Perth a/c suppliers/installers who can do this please recommend! Thank you.

Any places in Perth you can eat solo KBBQ in Perth without having to order enough meat for 2-3 people (it will go to waste) and being looked at like you're scum by the staff?
My partner is vegetarian and I don't want to expend the mental energy of hanging out with friends to eat some meat and side dishes.
