gross violation of social norms . . . . . emotional scars . . . . . atmosphere of fear and unease . . . . psychological impact . . . . . site of trauma. Was it really that bad?

Not enough detail in this story to comment but sometimes people are too quick to criticize a Company. In this case, a visit to a Telstra Shop or phone call to the right person, to explain the situation and settle any outstanding amounts might have ended the saga.

This is deception and fraud. Surely, Councils and parking inspectors should be held accountable under the law where evidence of wrong doing can be provided.

This could open a very big can of worms and I wonder how it will apply to mixed race people.

Supermarkets need to do whatever they can to minimise theft. Ultimately, all we consumers have to cover the cost of their losses.

Things might not have gotten so bad if stonemasons had employed better safety measures in the past; simple things like masks and dripper systems while cutting. About 30 years ago while selecting a granite bench top, several workers were in an open sided workshop in a cloud of dust with no PPE...

I find it hard to believe that the rat got in through the sewer. I suspect more likely it fell in from the top. Years ago in England we found one of our beloved red squirrels drowned in the toilet. They occasionally came in to the house when doors were left open in the Summer. Rats can find all...

This looks like the turning area at the end of a cul-de-sac where parking is usually prohibited. However, for the council to impose a fine without prior notice or appropriate signage is unethical and should be illegal.

A well known rule and Councils won't miss an opportunity to raise some funds.

I'm not so sure that's true. I am very aware of a case a few years ago where an estranged wife contested the will of the deceased. The beneficiaries named in 2 Super funds were ignored and most of the money was shared between the lawyers and the estranged wife. The named beneficiaries got very...

If the cost of adding 3DSecure is a mere five cents per transaction, the bank should add it automatically on an opt out basis. Also, what happened to ANZ's Falcon technology. Why didn't that work?

At least the +$1 is clearly stated on the menu.

Responsibility is a word that far too many people don't seem to understand. Trolleys taken away from the car park are a problem all over town. I've reported five pushed into a local creek just in the last month and probably 10 or a dozen every year. It's high time that anti-theft locking devices...

It seems to me that the dashcam driver did exactly the right thing. The golden rule is to give way to traffic already in the roundabout so the entering driver was at fault

A lot of people don't know how to use roundabouts at all!

My wife recently picked up a pot of vitamin supplements, in the supermarket, which felt unusually light in weight. The seal had been broken and the pot was only about half full. (n)(n)(n):mad:

A little bit less than that - about 1600 kph at the equator.

I've walked with the Christmas post in the UK a number of times. Most letter boxes are in the front door, not out by the pavement so we had to walk up almost every driveway. That's just the way it was and nobody complained. Access to the letter box is a different matter and a legitimate...

Re question 8; the lungs are the largest internal organ in the body. There is no doubt that the liver is the heaviest but with a capacity of about 6 litres, the lungs are much bigger than the liver at 1200-1500 ccs. Think: which is bigger, a 2 litre empty plastic water bottle, or a 750 ml bottle...
