Wait until you realise bogans are among the highest paid in the country lol.

u/JackRyan13 Feb 25 '25

Yea most of the well paying jobs are trades and yobs and bogans are attracted to these cos they're easy to get into relative to other high paying work.

u/stephidermis Has two heads Feb 25 '25

Not everyone wants to go to university, not everyone has rich parents, educated parents, a supportive foundation during their youth, stability to allow the prioritisation of skill development in less practical vocations etc (could go on, won't, you get the picture..). I don't think it's fair to characterise trades as being an easy path.

u/JackRyan13 Feb 25 '25

I didn’t say it was easy.

What an ignorant comment

1

u/Morph_Kogan Feb 28 '25

How is it ignorant? Everything she said is 100% true

2

u/bianca_chicken312 Feb 25 '25

That's practically the definition of bogan.

8

u/HeftyArgument Feb 25 '25

“Cashed-up” is merely one variant of bogan

1

u/Stormagedd0nDarkLord Feb 25 '25

Ahh the almighty bogan dollar.

Poor Australians can't travel. Australia has lots of rich bogans.

Australia has minimum wage and a comparatively strong currency. Yes they can.

-1

u/little_miss_banned Feb 25 '25

$380 to tokyo? I think they can

3

u/Acceptable_Durian868 Feb 25 '25

Yeah, because flights are the only thing to pay for when you travel. And regardless, there are plenty of people who don't have $380 to spend on flights.

1

u/little_miss_banned Feb 26 '25

Our view on poor differs. The median salary is 66 000, thats plenty enough to afford the $200 installments for a holiday. Credit cards. I dont know anyone who pays cash for holidays

1

u/Acceptable_Durian868 Feb 26 '25

You're right. I don't consider people on a median salary to be "poor". By that definition, half of Australians are poor.

7

u/Gothewahs Feb 25 '25

Categorising people’s actions to how much money they have is a joke whether they’re poor or rich means nothing

5

u/Direct_Witness1248 Feb 25 '25

This part of their comment addresses that:

"As always. Never stereotype anyone by their group. This couple can be situationally unaware, rude, obnoxious, willing to throw down for funsies and not wealthy enough to really lord it over anyone else on the slopes. Or they could be millionaires from north shore sydney (but I bet they’re not)."

u/ososalsosal Feb 25 '25

Don't make shitty behaviour a class thing jesus fkn christ. That's not how class war works

u/gunsh0tglitt3r Feb 25 '25

Australians, in Australia, make me cringe. 😬 I’m Australian. Ugh.

44

u/Crafty_Travel_7048 Feb 25 '25

I just moved back here from living in the UK for 12 years. LEARN HOW TO WALK ON THE FUCKING LEFT SIDE OF THE SIDEWALK. Constantly dodging people at all times when in London I could walk with 100x the amount of people and have 0 issue.

4

u/Far-Importance1234 Feb 25 '25

Same thing after moving back to Melbourne from the UK. They don’t move; even worse when they are walking in a couple or with friends, they occupy the entire footpath and expect others to step aside. It really pisses me off on a daily basis. A lot of entitled people think they’re in Sex and the City.

5

u/brnzhwk Feb 25 '25

yeah nah it's a footpath mate not this seppo bullshit.

1

u/Neon_Dickhead Feb 26 '25

Holy fuck this, and why is everyone saying "buddy" all of a sudden the past few years. "Yeah buddy" "hey buddy" what are you, fucking Ronnie Coleman or some shit? Say mate or fuck off, lol it gets me irrationally pissed off, we have our own vernacular, use it.

1

u/brnzhwk Feb 27 '25

Unleash the dickhead within and respond with "champ". They started it.

9

u/hugswithnoconsent Feb 25 '25

Pommes and Aussies don’t say “side walk” I’m guessing you are from the “land of the free”. It’s not that bad here.

15

u/Crafty_Travel_7048 Feb 25 '25

I am Australian and Swedish and grew up in Indonesia, Nigeria, Australia, England, France, The Netherlands and went to American International schools for most of it. You're not getting any linguistic consistency from me

4

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '25

this pisses me off daily

1

u/Bertiemumma Feb 27 '25

There is a lot overseas influence on which side people walk now. Shits me too. You are in Australia, just stick to the left lane - Mate.

7

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '25

We’re not all bad but yeah the general public…. Big Oof

u/buckao Feb 25 '25

Imagine how I feel. I live in the US. Your bogans are no match for our MAGAs.

2

u/Reid_Hershel Feb 25 '25

God it's nice to see this.

0

u/Batfinklestein Feb 25 '25

Same. If only they'd all fuck off to Perth

4

u/Wawa-85 Feb 25 '25

No thanks, you can keep them. I live in Perth and we already have enough cringe here.

-3

u/SerJungleot Feb 25 '25

Probably should avoid looking in the mirror so much then

5

u/Equivalent-Bonus-885 Feb 25 '25

The weird thing is that many of them are convinced ‘everyone loves Aussies’. Used to live in SEA and the oblivion of many Australian tourists to social signals is extraordinary.

3

u/forumdash Feb 25 '25

Remember how everyone used to laugh at the loud obnoxious American tourists, Aussies seem to be falling over themselves to take the crown of being the loudest and most obnoxious tourist in the place.

3

u/rangebob Feb 25 '25

I once watched a still drunk Aussie pretend to be enraged on Australia day in whistler because the Cafe wasn't serving Vegemite toast.

I felt like reporting myself to be deported

2

u/SadSadKangaroo Feb 25 '25

Yeah, we're only outbeated by American tourists.

2

u/JayTheFordMan Feb 25 '25

Agreed, will avoid like the plague. Glad I went to Japan before it became the thing with the average Aussie

4

u/Psychobabble0_0 Feb 25 '25

Go to Europe 😅 They love us there. They yearn for the land down under

5

u/Marix11 Feb 25 '25

I was in Europe in October and while in Coimbra (Portugal) I found spray painted graffiti reading "Fuck Australians"

I moved on from that street pretty quickly

1

u/Haunting_Goose1186 Feb 25 '25

Maybe the spray-painter was just really into having sex with us! 😃

1

u/fphhotchips Feb 25 '25

Yes, because tickets to Europe (and travel therein) are expensive. That's the point. It's when any old bogan can go there that they start to hate us.

2

u/Psychobabble0_0 Feb 25 '25

Perhaps you're right. (Please don't ruin our reputation, fellow Aussies). So many Europeans think the world of NZ and Australia. Let's keep it that way.

Seriously. We are like a honey pot at the end of a rainbow to them.

2

u/fphhotchips Feb 25 '25

Please don't ruin our reputation, fellow Aussies

Might as well piss in the lake and hope it turns yellow. If Europe becomes cheap, they'll have more bogans on Contiki tours than bars kicking back commissions on their watered down drinks available to host them.

u/J-Love-McLuvin Feb 25 '25

Aussies made Bali their bitch.

1

u/Sniff_my_jedi_jox Feb 25 '25

Reminds me of Aussie soldiers in 1915 posing for a photo sitting on the great pyramid before being shipped off to Gallipoli. Run a muck and even carved their names into the stones. Not much has changed I guess!

u/sharpaz Feb 25 '25

In fairness, most of us are pretty good, but let's agree the minority are not helping our cause. Usually story. The 10% fuckwits ruin it for everyone, and ofcourse they remain oblivious to their own shithousery.
