We've all been targeted at some time, and yes, it's annoying. But we can just try to come out of it knowing that we managed to waste their time.
If you are sure you are getting pulled up again the next time, here's a fun game you can play.
Keep a password protected file marked "Private" in the photos section.
Fill it with many paragraphs like:
aweurycmlowyeo;chm;oeh;ohw;ofx;,fjwloho
woiefhxhwieulrhiheru;qw#[zPX#PQW[[K#KFX[
#[QPWKZ#[P;EJIFXPjfpxjwej/jwefwejfjwéwxk
etc etc.
They could spend hours running their anti-encryption software trying, and failing, to crack it open. If they ask you about it just tell them you are fucking with them, like they are fucking with you.
Caveat; your 4 hour delay might turn into a 4 day delay, but that would make a good thread too.
Re: I hate Australia
A few years back, a whole group of my (British) family - about 10 of them - went to visit another small branch of our family who'd moved out to Australia in the 90s.Khmu Nation wrote: ↑Mon Sep 12, 2022 12:26 am I went to Australia intending to stay for up to six months.

Funnily enough, they all came back saying pretty much the same thing. In fact, my fathers very words upon his return were "Imagine how shit the UK is, now imagine something even shitter".

Re: I hate Australia
Just out of curiosity, what is it Brits don't like about Aussie? I understand if it's the people - Aussies have a culture that apparently pisses other nationalities off sometimes, although I've never had any problems with them - but the country itself... I've been there, thought it was great.xandreu wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 12:26 pmA few years back, a whole group of my (British) family - about 10 of them - went to visit another small branch of our family who'd moved out to Australia in the 90s.Khmu Nation wrote: ↑Mon Sep 12, 2022 12:26 am I went to Australia intending to stay for up to six months.

Re: I hate Australia
Just jealousy...........
Re: I hate Australia
I've never been there either so I'm just going on what I was told - a couple of Aussie guys took issue with our family that they were British and dared to be drinking in a bar in their country. One of them even followed my father into the toilet to intimidate him / beat him up, luckily his brother noticed and a few of the male members of our family went in to scare him off. Obviously it would be a huge generalisation to say all Aussies hate the British, but many of my family said they did occasionally have a sense they didn't feel welcomed due to the fact they were British.Random Dude wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 12:56 pmJust out of curiosity, what is it Brits don't like about Aussie?

Apart from that, boredom came up a few times. Once the initial amazement of "Wow, we're in Australia" wore off, they said there was very little to do, except walk along the beach which, as beautiful as it was, got a bit boring after 100 times. Obviously there are the famous sights - my sister and brother took a flight to Sydney for a couple of days but said once they'd done the normal touristy things (Opera House etc) they were left at a bit of a loss as to what to do.
It took my (then) elderly father about a month to get over the 24 hour flight. He said after he got home he'd often wake up in the night thinking he was still on 'that bloody plane'. - I know, hardy Australia's fault but it's a hell of a long way there and back from the UK.
Pwrsonally, I'd still like to go, just for the experience. It hasn't put me off and I get invited there by the same members of my family often. I'll take up the offer sooner or later.

Yea your right.

Another thing that I cannot understand is why they export iron ore and coal to china, let them pollute the air making iron , then buy it back as steel. Answer would probably be , to lazy or too dumb.

Re: I hate Australia
Yep, I understand very well how having a run-in with locals who don't like anyone foreign can influence the way you feel about a country. When I first went overseas to work I copped my share of that, especially when I was out in a restaurant or somewhere with one of 'their' girls.xandreu wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 1:17 pmI've never been there either so I'm just going on what I was told - a couple of Aussie guys took issue with our family that they were British and dared to be drinking in a bar in their country.

Looking back now, I actually think it was good for me. I was volatile for a while, ready to take on any dickhead who mouthed off at me and hating pretty much any stranger, while at the same time really liking and respecting the local friends I made and worked with. It was a trip back home, talking to people who had never left their small town who would tell me how all the foreigners were taking their jobs, the Asians (not that they would have met or known any)would eat your cat if they get the chance etc that made me realise there are fucking idiots everywhere but the vast majority of people are ok once you get to know them. It helped me understand and deal with it when I was on the receiving end of it. As a foreigner, you'll attract the ignorant peasants wherever you go. This wasn't an overnight realization for me though, it took time and I can see how a tourist would write a country off because of it.

Re: I hate Australia
Yeah, the wildlife scares the shit out of me. When I was in Queensland I really wanted to swim in the ocean but there were first aid stations on the beach with bottles of vinegar for if you got stung by the terrifying jellyfish (it was stinger season), there were signs warning swimmers of the risk of crocodiles and I saw probably the biggest shark I've ever seen just a few meters offshore. The locals told me if/when I saw a cassowary - that thing is a dinosaur if you ask me, Aussie still has dinosaurs FFS - don't get too close because it could disembowel you. I tried not to think about the spiders and snakes.Tootsfriend wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 2:03 pmYea your right.
