Crocband Tote, the biggest waste of $30 since the beginning of Australia’s modern monetary system
Just not sure who thought this was a good idea…
TTANOK’s first international contribution! Spotted on the streets of London, velour matching tracksuits are well and truly on the list.
Turns out you can get them in colour too… When will the madness end?
Does this mean he never wears actual shoes?
And the final instalment of our public transport mini-series: lone drunks.
It’s that awkward situation that arises when you get onto the train after an innocent day shopping at Chatswood and you are confronted by a drunk passenger in the same carriage. And it always seems to happen when it’s just you in the carriage. They start asking you questions about where you’ve been/you’re going, what you’ve purchased or in one particular case, to name all the capital cities in Europe.
Not only are you feeling uncomfortable conversing with this intoxicated stranger, you now feel stupid because you can’t remember what the capital of Norway is.
Not ok.
Following on from our ‘loud headphones’ post is the next instalment in our public transport series with the exciting topic of creepers.
Let us define the term ‘creeper’.
A creeper is that person, who with a whole carriage/bus free, chooses to sit either right next to you, or within a very close proximity. Sometimes they smell, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they read over your shoulder, listen in on your conversation or watch you play angry birds. Other times they just sit there, seemingly unaware that you are the only two people in the entire carriage sitting unusually close together for strangers.
In our experience it just makes the entire journey that little bit more uncomfortable and let’s be honest, it’s hard not to presume that they’re a serial killer/escaped mental patient.
If you find yourself in a potential creeper situation, may we recommend choosing a seat that is equally far away from anyone else and bringing your own reading/gaming material - helpfully reducing the temptation to sit next to someone and be entertained vicariously through them.
Thanks to an overwhelming amount of suggestions re: public transport, we have decided to have a short series over the next few days outlining some common misdemeanours.
So to begin, loud headphones.
To the best of our knowledge, the principle behind the humble headphone is fairly straightforward; place plugs in ears and enjoy listening to your own music privately in a variety of locations.
Since when has it been ok to have your music up so loud you distrupt fellow passages with your annoying, repeditive, pulsating beat, burst your poor little eardrums, and as a result render yourself partially deaf. Is your love for Avicii really that strong?
If you feel the need to give yourself a reason to wear hearing aids at the age of 25, go to a couple of Parkway Drive gigs and stand real close to the speakers.
We have no words.
