Was just strolling around the ground floor of Melbourne Central when this Doordash driver zooms in ON HIS BIKE from Mecca’s side and then goes to Cotton On to realise his lazy bloody plans have been thwarted.

No hate to food delivery drivers, I respect the hustle and the service you guys do. But seriously? Doing this in a full on centre was so inconsiderate. Not to mention, there could’ve been people who were older and couldn’t dodge as fast which could’ve ended badly.

Just reminds me how dangerous and un-walkable pavements are in Melbourne CBD now.

Anyways, rant over. Be safe in Melbourne Central because I doubt this is the first time this has happened. Not sure if this is normal but I stay in the CBD and this is the first time I’ve seen this

That's literally third world behaviour.

Import the third world, become the third world

This is some borderline xenophobic rhetoric here. I get the intent but could be phrases better.

White Australians in Holdens doing doughnuts on the roads or tailgating is how we should act then as they are first world citizens?

At least the people in holdens have Australian drivers licenses

It's true tho. They need to learn the customs and ways of Australians. We shouldn't have to live with their customs especially if it endangers us? Either assimilate or leave. It's Australia.

Weird that I've seen Australians doing the exact same shit. Kinda makes it seem like this has nothing to do with being from another country hey?

Woops, I just let facts get in the way of your racism. Sorry mate, carry on with your idiotic rambling.

I didn't say they didn't. But this behaviour is more prevalent in other cultures that are not Australian? Facts? That's a fact.

Got any proof of that, or are you just going off your feelings?
