Garage door causes major meltdown
A reader writes: "A broken garage door prompted a call to an Auckland business where the responding person said he would call back the next day about 7.15am to make sure someone was home. Showing up at the home at 7am, this technician promptly called the homeowner (dropping daughter at school) berating her for wasting his time. Despite multiple apologies, he rudely said that she had lost her chance (not exactly sure what for) and promptly hung up on her. The homeowner contacted the branch to apologise and arrange for another visit, only to be told by the branch owner: a technician already tried to reach you, you were not there. He said he did not care what her reason was for not being there when the technician arrived and promptly hung up on her. Are they the World's Top Garage Door Fixer or something?"
Spanish kids to get the message
Spanish children may soon be legally obliged to help out with housework. As part of a wider child protection law, the Government recommends children under 18 have an obligation to participate in all areas of family life. Children would also have to be respectful to their parents and teachers, and have a positive attitude towards learning. Married Spanish men can also face legal sanctions for refusing to do housework.
