@Telstra You miss the point. I don’t want to have to sign in to pay my bill or even see it. You used to have a simple payment portal unconnected to logging in but no more. You’ve got my data so get over yourself.

@Frafflee While this has been put in place to ensure your billing information remains secure, we do have a few different billing options available which we're more than happy to explore with you! You can message us via the 'Help' section of our MyTelstra app or call us on 132200! -Febey

@Telstra you send me a bill. I want to open it on my phone. But no I have to sign in. I don’t want to. I shouldn’t have to. No other utility provider has the hoops you put in place. Just like they allow payment via a payment portal not via their website. Do better.

@Uber riddle me this Uber. I took a trip from home to the airport and back in a 12 hr period. Outbound $45. Inbound in a Tesla (no petrol) $85. How do you explain this ridiculous disparity?

@southeastwater how dare you write to me and tell me you’ve “tried to contact me a number of times” about my bill when you’ve sent one reminder. And then you threaten me. So this is how a monopoly supplier of an essential service in Victoria behaves.

@RACV_Official well you’ve gone from iconic everything to beloved everything. Following the unthinking masses for whom nothing is not beloved whether it be an aperol spritz or a dead pet dog. Try popular, well known, famous, highly regarded and like descriptors instead. Thanks

@SurveyMonkey when will get rid of your stupid user name ID? I use the same computer and yet this dumb ask pops up again after 2 years. Get rid of it please.

@yarratrams today I’m on 276. 4 ppl got on at Montague at my end of the tram and none of them paid. I am sick and tired of this theft that you allow.

@yarratrams no aircon on 3036. Stuffy as all get out. As usual.

@JoelKennedyy hello. Just heard some mispronunciations in your NFL report. “Gone” is not “gawn” (no matter had marvellous Max might be) and “ensure” is not “en-shewer”. Thankyou.

@Channel9 it would be nice if you bothered to school your tennis commentators on player name pronunciation. Here we go and whoever is doing the match on now can’t get WAWRINKA anywhere close to right. Do better please.

@abcnews disappointing that your reporter Nate Woodall insists on saying “noo” instead of “new”. We aren’t the US and the ABC ought not give in to its influence at the expense of Australian English as we speak it.

@Westpac I went to my local branch today only to find it closed from 25/12 to 5/1. Is that what my bank fees, interest and all the other miscellaneous charges pay for now: no service on a working day?

@yarratrams 50+ people standing at casino stop inbound right now. What’s the bet not one of them pays their way. Do your job: collect their fares please.

@yarratrams today on 295. 7 ppl got on at Noeth Port without paying. 2 at Graham st. Montague St 4/4 didn’t pay. Great work again.

@yarratrams on 6070. It’s not a hot day. Aircon is blasting but as usual the air is stuffy. These trams are not fit for Melb conditions.

@sheratonparco what a disappointing hotel. Totally unprepared to deal with what it knew would be a large number of ppl registering at the same time. Plus only a 7am shuttle to the airport. Talk about #noservice.

@Telstra I would pay your bills much more quickly if I you had the simple payment portal you used to have. Now you want me to sign in with my Telstra ID. Not on, I don’t want one and you don’t need my details. So you’ll just have to wait til I do my banking.

@VodafoneAU the chat began at 6.46 & ended at 9.06. Never have I spent such an enormous amount of time with someone so useless. She didn’t read. Or listen. Or fix the problem. She mucked about. Ignored answers. Repeated the known (is roaming on?) & we wonder why people are angry.

@Channel9 I just watched the piece on the knife held to a @woolworths asst’s throat as the crim demanded she open the till. It was said he had been charged over the “incident”. This is not an incident it is a full on assault with an edged weapon. Get the language right #media.

@yarratrams still on 3009. Not one person who got on at casino tapped on. Not one. Yep the whole network is a fare free zone. Well done @AlboMP and @JacintaAllanMP for instilling a culture of all about me civic and civil decline.
