Resist. Impede. Refuse.

Posted on June 27, 2012 by KG

Wabbit is trying to buy a replacement original CD player for the Hilux. This mail arrived from the vehicle dismantlers this morning:
‘I will need a scan of your drivers licence as this is a prescribed part in NSW see laws stated below’

‘Then I’m sorry to have wasted your time, Dennis. I absolutely refuse to be treated like a criminal or potential criminal by fucking bureaucrats who have nothing better to do than invent new regulations which do nothing to deter crime. I’m tired of jumping through hoops invented by time-wasting leeches.’

    I might have missed something but does finding out who buys replacement CD players for Toyota vehicles help prevent crime? I would have told them to fuck off as well.

    Apparently it’s to prevent the theft and “re-birthing” of vehicles, Brian. Like a crim would need an original CD player……
    It’s all just bureaubull. :evil:

    Hmmm….I just ordered a new replacement from Townsville at the same price. Higher quality, fitted with SD slot and USB, with a custom wiring harness (simply plug it in) and custom dash trim. And an interesting conversation about the relative merits of Tchaikovsky and Mozart. :lol:

      So does this “requirement” only apply original (factory) parts?
      by crikey, that’s messed up :wtf

        It’s only messed up if you’re not a bureaucrat, Ciaron. Makes perfect sense for them–they can sit around the office dreaming up new regulations for the peasants to obey, pop out for a three-hour lunch and then go home at night to talk about the gruelling day they’ve had.
        Parasitic bastards. :rant

          Even private companies are getting in on the act.Take AT&T for example.I could simply log on to their website and pay my bill online,but I must have a password,user name and PIN number to do so.

          My PIN number quit working for some reason,tried e-mailing and calling them to access my account.They said they couldn’t do it unless I sent them a scan of my DL.I told them you cannot scan a Ms DL as they are made specifically so they can’t be scanned,they said sorry we can’t access your account without it and hung up on me. :rant

          So I drove across town to the office and paid the bill in person….then cancelled my account and told them to shove it :twisted:

          My life is a little easier now :popcorn

          Oh,watch out for the Gay Oreo cookies :censor –

    I use an Ipod with a rf converter through the car radio (we have one of those mini-disk players that were very briefly in vouge)

    No need to be bothered with changing CD’s!

      That’s a good idea, Os–if one has an ipod! The new stereo has an SD card and USB port, so hopefully I can put the music on a thumb drive. It also has a DVD drive, and a DVD holds around 600 songs.

    Stay well away from Nelson Building Society, Nelson branch in New Zealand. If in a moment of foolishness an established account holder decides to give them more money to invest, their humorless couldn’t-care-less “manager” will insist on abiding by the sort of bureaucratic bullshyte outlined by KG in his post and all but accuse one of being an international terrorist engaged in money laundering.

    Meanwhile over the road, the Southern Building Society will greet you will a smile and do the bizo – no problems.

    it always comes down to individuals and their commonsense–or lack of it–doesn’t it, Flash?

    a rant: I don’t know if it’s just me getting old..but this sort of crap seems to be increasing [and in NZ]..
    over the last 3? years commonsense communciation has gone out the window and the amount of times I’ve had to resort to “go f’ck yourself”- I’m taking my business elsewhere or I am going to take legal action against you and win”[these very words..because they just don’t get it in polite terms]…
    clowns include a range of retail businesses ,computer “specialists”, banks, councils [real fun with them],QV[absolute muppets],building inspectors,Environmental specialists[and their idiotic govt dept’]…it just goes to show what a bunch of lame sheeple now inhabit these lands,who are quite happy with this new “normal”.

    more to the topic….take NZ’s “new” HSNO licencing..the so-called trainer stated that legally there were no issues with us having large quantites of a “particular” material…[the trainer checked the gov’t database]..”no issue “…”a fertilizer ,so all OK” .The importer and I couldn’t contain our laughter.
