Customer: "Australia and New Zealand both use dollars! I looked it up!"
Stall Holder: "New Zealand dollars, and Australian dollars, sir. It's our own dollars, not US dollars."
Customer: "The US dollar is the only dollar, so you have to accept it if your country accepts dollars!"

When one thinks of the town of Bath, in the west of England, they may immediately have visions of Jane Austen (1775 -1817) and the Regency period (1811 - 1820). What they may not associate with this quaint municipality is that it is home to one of the country's longest established playhouses, the Theatre Royal.
Opened in 1805, for over two centuries the Theatre Royal has staged numerous productions and showcased the talents of countless performers. It has survived fires, wars, and economic downturns. The latter would see the great British actor Peter Ustinov (1921 -2004) lending a hand in raising monies to keep the lights on.
In the late 1990s a studio was dedicated in his honor. Perhaps a part of his fund raising scheme was a fountain located nearby, in the Seven Dials Courtyard, with a collection of sixteen handprints and signatures fabricated in brass. Much in the vain of the prints found at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Los Angeles, these denote famous British actors of both stage and screen. These include the names of such stars as Joan Collins, Derek Jacobi, and Haley Mills.

fail_feed) wrote2025-12-13 11:00 amMany people claim that the early bird catches the worm, but in this case, the early birds in question chose to destroy a disgruntled neighbor's lawn instead.
This lady had been arguing with her neighbor over the free street parking outside of his house for months. First of all, he had more personal parking spaces than she had, so it's not like he needed that space, nor was he entitled to it according to any documentation.
Now, you have to hand it to this author because for a while there, she was doing everything in power to avoid her neighbor's wrath. She would always find other parking spots, and she even told her friends to avoid that space when they came to visit. However, when her boyfriend parked there, the neighbor lost his mind and threatened to call the police on him. Of course, he was in the wrong, so the author's boyfriend just ignored him.
One day, he actually did call the police, and that is what finally compelled the author to get back at this guy. Since he tended to watch that empty space outside of his home like a hawk during the daytime, she knew she needed to think of a creative way to get back to him. That's where the crows come in…

Ideamen at heart, they love to imagine they know more about servers, databases, and system admin protocols than their computer engineers, but just because you listen to one podcast about tech, it doesn't make you proficient in computer science.
Alas, this smug boss thought he knew better than his computer engineer, firing him when a complicated server transfer was taking too long. However, only three hours after his termination, the boss came crawling back, begging for help... Except this computer tech wasn't so interested in bailing him out.
It took 12 hours of groveling, 2 lost clients, a personal call from the CEO, a senior job offer, and $85,000 up front for this computer wiz to come in and fix the problem.
Oh, and he got his old, snooty boss fired in the process.

Coworker: "Oh, come on! It’s just a dollar. Don’t you care about kids learning to read?"
Customer: "I care very much. I donate plenty to charities."
Coworker: "Then one more dollar shouldn’t be a big deal, right?"
Customer: "It is when that dollar ends up being part of a corporation’s tax write-off so your bosses can all pat themselves on the back."

A few months ago, we had a guy come in just before the start of lunch rush and begin his order while it was still slow. After completing it, he began to order another sandwich, then another, then another. The line was beginning to form.

I work in a clothing store at a local mall in college. A woman brought in a recently purchased pack of panties.
Customer: "I need to return these."
Before I can even begin to explain that we don't accept returns on intimates, she pulls them all out of the bag and lays them out on the register.
