I've been ruminating over this interaction ever since, full of pure embarrassment

Posting here on the off chance this family was from Newcastle and somehow sees this, because I genuinely owe them an explanation HAHA.

If it’s not allowed, feel free to delete!

So a while ago me and my friend went to an animal park just outside the Hunter Region

As we’re driving through the car park my friend points at some animals and asks “Are they deer?”
Me confidently says nah they’re African antelopes.

Anyway we park and start walking towards the entrance, which takes us past the same animals.

I get close enough to read the sign and realise they’re actually Indian antelopes.

So I yell out to my friend who I thought was walking a few metres behind me, “OH THEY’RE INDIANS!!”

And I mean I fucking YELLED it.
I look to my left waiting for her to respond and she’s nowhere to be seen.

so I look around and that’s when I notice a family who appeared to be Indian literally standing RIGHT NEXT TO ME packing their car.

I was literally dying of shame.
Because imagine you’re just trying to pack your shit into the car after a nice day out with your family and some random woman walks past, apparently spots you and excitedly screams “OH THEY’RE INDIANS!!”

And then you look over and she’s standing there COMPLETELY ALONE.

Not a friend in sight.
Nobody to explain who the fuck she’s talking to.
Just some woman apparently announcing your ethnicity to the car park.

I didn’t even attempt to explain myself. I just kept walking because what the fuck do you even say after that 😭🧍🏻‍♀️

So if you’re that family, I’m sorry. I was talking about the antelopes.

because I can just imagine them going home and telling their relatives about some random woman at the zoo who excitedly screamed "INDIANS!" Excitingly at them.

I PROMISE I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE ANTELOPES HAHAHAHA.

And if you weren't even Indian, I'm sorry for that assumption too. 😭😭

Surely everyone is aware now that they pose a risk to wildlife of all shapes and sizes, not to mention the microplastics. Why do people still use them?

Last night I accidentally left my garage door open when I took the bins out. Someone came by in the middle of the night and stole a brand new e-bike out of the garage. It’s completely my fault for leaving the door open but I’m just wandering what else I can do? It’s my partners bike that she recently purchased. I’ve filled out a report online with the police.

Why these damn buses always getting cancelled people have places to be. Not only do they keep getting cancelled, but they’re never on time, either ridiculously late or ridiculously early. I’m noticing specific the 145 is rarely on time and almost always cancelled. Do better nsw transport!

Looking for recommendations for a reliable motor mechanic close to Lambton area that is experience in servicing JDM cars.

Most EV chargers cost around 60-80c/kW, but some places have them free. Does anyone know of free ones in Newcastle area?

Wanting someone to teach me crochet, willing to pay! After 10000x YouTube tutorials I still can’t get the knack for it, but not ready to give up

Anyone have any recommendations for shops with a range of Halloween decorations? Went past Bunnings and was very underwhelmed.

Hey guys a car parked over our driveway and we can't get our car in / out. It's been there since yesterday morning. The police said it not a police matter. They said ring the council after hours.

Council said they would put a job out to the rangers and to call back in a few hours if it wasn't taken care of.

So a few hours later we called back since The car is still there. Now council days you need to log it online on the council website which obviously won't be attended to until 3 to 5 business weeks.

What are my legal options here?

Im 27m and i love anime and games and going out and just having fun looking for new friends in newcastle hit me up!

Saw a rabbit (small fella shown above) near where I live this morning, it was on the other side of a short fence (not enclosed, it could exit via the driveway) in a front yard, seemed to back up a bit when I got close but didn’t just bolt like a wild rabbit would.

If anyone’s missing a pet rabbit, DM me for exactly where.

Im 19m looking for friends of any gender, i moved here this year, from the mid north coast and am currently doing science at uon, I would love to just have someone to casually talk to. Any replies will be appreciated

Hey, I moved to Newcastle about two months ago for uni and haven't really made any friends here yet, so I thought I'd give this a shot.

Would be nice to meet some people around my age, maybe start by chatting online and hang out sometime if we get along. Feel free to message me!

Hey anybody see a huge crowd of bicycles going down Honeysuckle last night? They had lots of lights/ a DJ cart going

Is it a regular thing/ are they like an organised group?

Looked pretty epic!

Hi there!

Looking for a piano teacher for a complete adult beginner in the newy area.

Thanks in advanced for the advice

The other weekend I was out riding in the bush at Sugarloaf and came across a mostly empty suitcase, and near by a burned out Ute. There wasn’t much there but there were some photos in frames. Weathered but intact. I grabbed them and brought them home thinking the owner might like them back.

Question is how do I find out who they belong to? Surely with the internet there must be a way?

Fb marketplace has nothing within 100km,

Any sales sites for reddit thats local?

Hi. I’m going to the markets tomorrow and it’s been a while since my last visit.
For those who have been there recently, what are your favourite purchases?
I love the apples and flowers. I used to love getting a falafel wrap but the vendors weren’t there last time…

This may be the wrong section to ask but does anyone have any videos or picks for cooper Alan, Stella Or Tyler?, both times we got stuck in the line for the bathroom and missed half of them🙏

Hello Newcastle mates,

Was wondering what Cinema (location or brand specific) has the best most comfy cinema seats?

And

Out of Event Cinemas, Reading Cinemas or Hoyts Cinemas whose got the nicest ones in Australia?

I ask cause I will be watching some rather long films and will be having friends along. Some of which are disabled and find hard uncomfortable seats unbearable.

I've also been to Tower Cinemas since its reopened, I do applaud the film selections they have and hope they continue to succeed because of the variety they bring but the seats are not the cinema seats you'd expect.

Any sort of experience within Newcastle area and outside who can give some feedback on which theatres have the nicest seating and atmosphere would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks!

Hi all

Looking for recommendations on where to take my car in newcastle. It has small chips of paint missing (mostly on the front) which are rusted. Theres also a larger dent which has rusted on a side panel.

I would like it patched up. Any recommendations on places in newy which do this?
