There's a whole lot of earth moving going on out the back of mine and the reverse noise on one of the bits of equipment sounds like a huge wattle bird and the resident magpies are freaking the fuck out. Just standing there on the lawn staring at this excavator probably regretting the little feud they have going on (with the real wattle birds).

I hate the new style reverse noise. Apparently it’s now the thing to use because it is more noticeable and annoying than the beeps.

this is making me laugh way harder than anything has the right to. Maybe they should try praying to the Magpie God.
