"I hate everything all about you" (Pris)

I’m going to put this into context because I’m sure a whole heap of you guys are in the same situation transport-wise: I take public transport to get to uni and I thought this was a pro because it was convenient and environmental and … good. BUT!!!

Words cannot express how much I hate myki…but I’m going to try anyways.

I hate the fact that your system is so unbelievably effective in Hong Kong and not here.

I hate the fact that the previous fact made me have high expectations and now I’m disillusioned.

I hate the fact that you claim you save us money but you don’t. It costs me more to take public transport than to overuse my phone cap, buy the groceries and snacks, and catch up with friends – all put together.

I hate that fact that your blue myki staff people at the station don’t give me information that’s useful, they feed me propaganda.

I hate the fact they were NO HELP to me when my myki decided to DIE this morning.

I hate the fact that this happened after I topped up my myki with hard earned money last week.

I hate the fact that they told me to “just buy a metcard” and that meant spending more hard earned money.

I hate how I was told repeatedly to call the myki hotline which begins with the numbers “1” and “3”  which meant more money.

I hate that I have no money.

I hate that after spending all that money, the person on the other side put me on hold…thrice…and then asked me questions that led to nowhere and then told me to go to the website, print off some forms and post it to them with my defective myki.

I hate the fact that posting it requires more money.

I hate the fact that I will not be reimbursed for any of my metcards that I’m buying because of my broken myki or for any of the inconvenience it has caused me. Oh, and all that money that’s already in the broken myki? You’d think it would be transferred into the new one, huh? But NOOOOOO, its going to be “considered”.

I hate the fact that I’m so angry that it’s making me sleepy.

I hate myki.

Ps. I Hate Everything All About You – Three Days Grace. It was all the suggestions YouTube gave me. I need angrier music for times like these. …and I wish I had more of a potty mouth. GUH!!! AS;L DIFJQ;WIFJ;ASLKFDGNA;LKSHDF I was going to talk about my last mediocre week of uni but you know what? I’m sure you guys can relate much more to this!!!

  1. I fishing love this song. Meanwhile….
    Don’t forget how effective it is in New York!
    I have 2 myki’s – one i was given at the start of the school year (for MONEY. WTF. They didn’t say it’d cost MONEY. I mean, during that time you could apply ONLINE FOR FREE but noooo it costs money at uni.), and another I got from said free online period. Neither is in use. Too hard basket, plus none of the myki touch on/off majigs work on the buses i catch daily. So if you have no change and all you have is a topped up myki, you’re boned. (happily the bus drivers don’t/never have given a toss about the whole metcard/myki dealie…)

  2. Hey Pris, I read awhile back that you’re going on the MPH roadtrip? I AM TOO 🙂 Who’s your group leader?

  3. GASP!!!! That’s so exciting! My group leader’s name is Jeremy? I’m pretty sure anyway… Wheeeeee I’m all excited about the Roadtrip! Can’t. Wait! I hope I meet you!

    Ps. Sorry to anyone who read this ridiculous rant. I was pretty angry but you know how I get real sleepy when I’m angry? I went to sleep super early last night and I’m all happy again! 😀
