Beware the impregnating office chair
This Trade Me listing for a female fertility chair, which looks a lot like a bog-standard blue office chair, cracked Annabel up. It reads: "This chair has amazing powers to help women become pregnant. The last three staff members that have sat at this chair and worked at Big Brothers Big Sisters Christchurch have become pregnant. Lady No1 became pregnant after 1 year of sitting on this chair. Lady No2 became pregnant after just 5 weeks of sitting on this chair. And Lady No3 became pregnant after the short time of 4 weeks on this chair. As you can see this chair's powers are increasing over time! We would advise caution if you are only in the thinking stage of becoming a parent as who knows what could happen to the next person who sits here ... pregnant in two weeks? Twins? Triplets? Its powers are out of our control!"

"I grew up with Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy," writes Reddit user Trilby2. "I think we are the only country (maybe Australia?) that uses the term 'dairy' to refer to a 'corner store/shop' ... These books must be majorly misunderstood in other parts of the world. I'm not too sure why we call them dairies. Maybe because we are a big exporter of dairy?" Another Reddit user eminentmolecule comments: "I read these books as a kid and now I read them to my kids and I absolutely thought Hairy Maclary was a farm dog. I am freaking out here."
