1. At the gym: "A month ago the water in the pool became very murky and a less than pleasant shade of green. When I asked the guard what the problem was he tried to tell me that the pH was offand that it would clear up soon. I've worked in the pool industry for years and knew this to not be the truth. I promptly turned around and called the health department. They closed the pool for a week so that it could be drained and decontaminated! It was full of bacteria and algae!" 2. Funeral homes: "I politely explained to her that keeping my mum's body in a bag inside their funeral home was the equivalent of having her spirit in purgatory according to our religion. She very coldly sighed and made the outrageous comment: 'Trust me, her body will be fine she's not going anywhere'. Well no ... she's dead. Putting that aside, it breaks my heart to think my mum was laying in a body bag waiting to 'get processed'." 3. Restaurant: "The food is typical bar food. The service was horrible! The food cold, brought out at different times ... some in our party were finishing their meal as others hadn't gotten theirs. And it's not a friendly environment but loaded up with silicone and attitude. So what, you have two globes on your chest that's not why I tip. Lots of tats, body piercings and makeup applied with a putty knife. I won't return." (Source: Jezebel)
Is a bell necessary on a bicycle?
John Allan, of Pakuranga, walks early every day around the walking/cycling tracks, particularly in the Half Moon Bay area. "Frequently walkers are unexpectedly barged, bumped, hit by cyclists often travelling very fast as they try to overtake. Do they not realise that we can't see out the back of our heads, nor can we hear them coming! Could they all use bells to warn us? Or are they just ding-a-lings themselves."
"I've hesitated to write to you about this one as it's a bit rude, but it is a genuine instance of mistaken lyrics," writes John Neave tentatively. "Around 1975, I heard a song on the radio which seemed to refer to the see-through blouses which were the height of fashion at the time. It went: 'I can see your nipples - wear your bra, you sexy thing! It was years later that I saw the lyrics in a magazine: 'I believe in miracles - where you from, you sexy thing!' I still think my version had a certain 'something'."
