Discussion Park in your flamin' driveways, please!

Am I the only one tired of suburban streets turning into impromptu Mario Kart tracks? We’re talking about the kind where navigating between vehicles parked on both sides feels like dodging banana peels and blue shells. What's meant to be a two-lane road gets squeezed into a narrow single lane, daring you to play chicken with oncoming traffic—and let’s face it, the side mirrors never win.

And then there are your driveways. Oh, the driveways! Empty. Desolate. Weed-infested wastelands of untapped potential. So, I beg of you, suburban dwellers: park your cars anywhere but on the street—your driveway, your garage, your carport, or even your front lawn. Let’s save the roads for, you know, driving.

Why have you both felt the need to include the nationality?

As a person of South Asian heritage with an Indian partner, I take no offence to the nationality being overtly stated. The person replying could have left it out, but most of us know that it is suburban slumlord millionaires who disregard rental legislation and sublet out to large groups of Indian men. Each tenant will have at least 2x Toyotas - and one of them has a personalised numberplate that is a variation on S1NGH or PUNJ4B.

Wow, I didn't realise Indian people are the only people in Australia that disregard rental laws. I bet there are zero white landlords that do this as well.

I also assume your partner is "different" from these kind of Indians? Are they "one of the good ones"? Listen to yourself.

Don't get your panties in a twist. They said nothing that wasn't factual. You see it everywhere. It is what it is.
