    'How can they scam someone like that?': Mechanic calls out fellow professionals after customer feels scammed for two repairs

    I think the lady, Alice, should have gone back to the original mechanic in the first place and insisted they did the job properly, which she had already payed for, or demand a refund.

    Shoppers in uproar as fan-favourite biscuit has vanished from stores

    I always loved Spicy Fruit Rolls but can never find them where I live. My daughter found some in Brisbane for me but they are not the same as they used to be. They must have changed the recipe.

    Exposed: The Shocking Account of Racial Profiling at an Airport from Comedian Eric André!

    I'm a caucasian elderly female and I very often get pulled out to be checked over at airports. I find it hilarious. I was given the full pat down treatment years ago at an airport in Ireland which was the highlight of my trip. My husband on the other hand was 3 times my size and passed through...

    Chicken fried steak and gravy

    I don't like the idea of covering them with plastic and then pounding with a meat mallet. Wouldn't that push pieces of plastic into the meat?

    Aussie TV personality stirs up controversy with bold remarks on Parisian culture!

    I found a lot of people in Paris tend to look down their noses at tourists. They seem to think they are above the rest of us. I am told it's different in the countryside.

    ALDI customers outraged over latest Special Buys pillow release

    People have to understand that there is a difference between duck feathers and down. Feathers have the hard centre piece still in and down has it stripped away. You get what you pay for in this case. My great grandmother always made down comforters and pillows and mattresses by hand. She would...
