No amount of begging helps. It's been a hell of a morning for me, but these guys have worked all of 3 1/2 hours so far. They turn me away. I was being turned down at 1125am. The close at 12. There was only two cars in front of me. Useless, lazy, dickheads. Avoid.

A real drama, flat battery, hard to remove etc. Finally get to the vtnz and they: - make me move back a place in line (accidentally cut in) - the the office tells me the cat before me is the last for the day

I have lived in my first warm home through winter and it is a night-and-day difference. I get out of bed in the morning, I haven't got sick, I've hosted people and attended events. Everything is better when waking up doesn't take the world. It is shameful the conditions of our housing stock in NZ.

This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on. They've outlived dozens of ships.
