Having a whinge

I am going to have a whinge. Hmm? A whinge, you ask? What exactly is a whinge? A whinge is the Australian way of saying whining or complaining. Are you ready to listen, well read, my whinge? Let me tell you it's a good one.

To the guy in the common room of my school with the camera phone. Has anyone ever told you it's rude to take pictures of someone you've never met? I realize that I am the only caucasian female that attends our school of about 3,000, but this does NOT make me a tourist attraction. Did you honestly think I would not notice the repeated flash in my direction? Admittedly, I first thought you were snapping photos of something behind me until I turned around and saw a wall. An. Empty. Wall. Not so much as a picture on the wall. If I ever catch you doing that again, I will rip your phone out of your nasty little hands and stomp on it. I will stomp on it until it breaks. Then, I will spit in your face. It is creeps like you that make me want to keep my children in the house at all times and NEVER EVER let them out of my sight.

On a slightly lighter note, after this happened, I went outside to take a walk in the middle of the city, and a bird landed on my head. Yes. A. Bird. Landed. On. My. Head. Apparently, he or she mistook my hair for a nest. I, of course, freaked out. There was a lot of sissy girl screaming and flapping of arms. It was traumatizing.

I feel better now. Feel free to leave your whinges in the comments.

I have a bit of a cold and your post made me laugh so hard I started majorly coughing and hacked my lungs up. Thanks, sweetie.

And re: man w/camera phone - EWWW!

I was going to suggest the aggressive approach about the creepy guy with the phone, but it sounds like you came up with it all on your own. If you stomp on some classmates cell phone... could you have another classmate take pictures while you do it? I wanna see that! :P

I recommend carrying pocketfuls of birdseed. As you exit buildings, throw the birdseed as far from you as possible, distracting any nearby birds.


If at all possible, when throwing said birdseed, aim for creepy guys with cell phones.

Just a suggestion.

The other day a bird went whipping past my head so close I could feel the wing it the back of my head.

It must be Australian birds ;-)
