It’s one thing to go begging, it’s another when they feel entitled to some sort of payout. I never asked for their “services” - and in my limited experience, they lash out at you too, when you explain you’re not paying.
By the time it started showing up in 1980s comedy films, it was mostly gone in real life. I am surprised to see an Ozzie referring to this. Or is he referring to something tlese?
Maybe in Australia which has had them at various location in capital cities in the 80s, 90s, 10s by my recall. Maybe in other countries as while Troy is Australian he's moved about a bit ... but probably Sydney - it's one of those modern clean yet dirty cities with a bit of everything.
EDIT: The quote doesn't come from Troy, it's sourced from a twitter reply he received from "John" @j3g
I didn’t write a blog or do anything to “trigger” anyone. Heck the only reason I replied is because they kept emailing the other non tech people in an attempt to extort money out of them.
I don’t find their behavior excusable and have no problem calling them out.
