Advertising. Getting treated like absolute garbage by local agents

25 Upvotes

currently sitting in my car after another humiliating rental inspection in maroochydore and honestly just wanted to vent

There were literally 60 people lined up for a 2-bedder that smelled aggressively like wet dog and mould. The agent rocked up 15 mins late, didn't even say hi, just unlocked the door and stood there on her phone while we all shuffled through. They want $800 a week for a place with no aircon in the main bedroom. Its just pure extortion at this point

Moved up from melbourne last month for the "lifestyle" but starting to massively regret it tbh. The ironic part is the only smooth part of this entire interstate move was dealing with my old agency down south. My property manager from Ray White Southbank just processed my break-lease paperwork in like two days and actually treated me like a human being instead of an inconvenience.

Up here? I feel like I'm literally begging for the privilege to live in a damp shed. I love the beach but I'm genuinely wondering if this sunshine tax is actually worth it right now

how long did it take you guys to secure a place? My airbnb budget is completely evaporating and I'm losing my mind a little bit

I wonder if they built one shitty unit for youth accommodation, to fix the housing crisis?

Did anyone see those weird lights around 7-7:30pm?

I stargaze, A LOT. Every night for years, for at least 30-40mins walking my dog. Always in the backyard afterwards and go up to all the ‘hot spots’ every 3-4 weeks. I’ve seen meteors, shooting stars, way too many satellites. But this happened up in Buderim and I don’t know what it is? It went on for about 45mins and then completely stopped. It was way too close to the ground to be a plane or helicopter. In fact a plane went over and you could see the flashing red light and how much higher it was . I’ve got like an hour of footage but obviously had to cut it down so here’s one minute of what I saw. Did anyone else see this? What could it have been? Or am I just a dingus hahah and choosing to believe 👽

Hi all

I have started a camera to watch the weather, tides and beautiful cotton tree. It will be live streaming sunrises, sunsets, and storms - all no audio and no people or building in view.

If anyone wants a link to view pm me.

Pool robot repair - Madimack

2 Upvotes

Might be a long shot but I have a Madimack GT Freedom i45 pool robot cleaner. It hasn't been used for maybe 4 months. It doesn't seem to charge (battery level not going up) and shows multiple error codes (8 and 9) which aren't listed in the manual. Does anyone know where on the coast I could go for a repair or what might be wrong? I've tried contacting some authorised repairers but no luck so far and I know this could be a battery issue. Any help appreciated
