I come back from holiday and these were only
some of the questions waiting for me in my inbox. angryauntis@gmail.com
Dear Angry Agony Aunt,
Someone at work used my bin to throw away
their empty soft drink bottle. They only
sit down the hall, shouldn’t they have used their own bin?
That's disgusting! That's like you co-worker putting their filthy rubbish directly in to your mouth! Take a stand. Too many people
have been quiet about this issue. And you'll be surprised how much this happens. It's outrageous! Your Manager needs to know. Right now. No, no, right now. Don't read the rest of this Agony Aunt, sent the message. Tell them I sent you. You're a brave, brave solider.
Dear Angry Agony Aunt,
Why do people leave their decisions up to
chance? Why flip a coin or use another
stupid ‘pick an answer out of a hat’ system?
Can people really not make decisions?
What are you
talking about? All the best decisions
are made by flipping a coin. How would
we know who was going to bat first? What
would the old fella’s do on Anzac Day?
How do you think your husband picked you over your sister?
But as Sigmund
Freud said, it’s not the ‘chance’ outcome itself that matters, it’s how you feel
about the outcome. So if you feel bad
about what was tossed, you have the chance to change it; ergo, you’re making a
decision. So whether you pick a box,
draw the short straw or pick highlighters out of an envelope (weird!) remember,
playing with chance is the best decision you ever make.
Dear Angry Agony Aunt
Every four years we get an extra day in
February. What did you do on the leap
year day this year?
I ate a bucket
of broccoli in the morning and farted like a rocket all afternoon.
Dear
Agony Aunt,
A new
girl has started at work and I share a work area with her. She’s constantly verbally abusing me and I
don’t understand why she does it because I’m a really nice person. Also, she keeps interrupting me when I’m
working. But what irritates me more is
that she can’t pronounce the word Australia . I never thought I’d hear it said with such a
‘bogan’ drawl. It’s like fingernails
down a chalkboard. I spend forty hours a
week with this ‘person’, how can I make life at work more bearable?
Use her bin.
Dear Angry Agony Aunt,
Delta Goodrem on ‘The Voice’ makes me
really mad. I both hate and like her at
the same time. I like that she’s
talented but I hate that she’s fake.
Please tell me she’s not going to win the competition.
She’s not going
to win the competition. Because at the
eleventh hour, Cher is going to land in Australia, storm in to Channel Nine and steal Delta's chair. She's then going to apologise to 'all of Australia' for selling the keys to Adelaide on e-bay (but what she doesn't know is that everyone outside of South Australia doesn't care).
Then by way of sabotage, she'll stand over Keith causing him to have a real fear of taller women, she'll give Joel a good charlotte, beat Seal in a 'charm-off' then win the entire competition with the blind girl.
Delta will be ushered out of the studio with sherbet stick and a couple of milk chews for her troubles but at least her parking will be validated.

Dear Angry Agony Aunt
My mother is in her fifties and she recently
bought a scooter. The first time she
rode it, she accidentally drove it in to a fence, fell off and gave herself a
black eye. Should she keep the scooter?
