We got the car new a month ago and my partner was parking the car and hit a pillar, (18 years driving without many incidents and she decides to hit the new car), it's weird because this one has more sensors and a rearview camera that the old Civic didn't have. We got it repaired bit it cost €2900!! Insurance covered it but I didn't think it would be that much. So ye, don't cheap out on insurance
Found a few reels of Agfa APX 400 from 2009, this should keep me going for a while, seller wanted €350, managed to haggle down to €160 with postage. Anyone else here like the old Agfa emulsions?
I just saw this ad, someone doesn't know how to use a decimal point.
A few years back I checked in a French family and they paid for their reservation in cash, €3000 in smelly, damp €50 notes, the ones you would expect to find under the mattress of an incontinent person. I checked with the boss if we could accept it and we ran it through the money counter machine to see if it was real, it was ok, so we reluctantly accepted them.
Later that night, another French family check in, a woman and 2 kids, all ok. However the next day, when they go to have breakfast in the restaurant, she tries to sneak in 2 more kids. She was in a room for max 3 people and had 2 extra kids, we make her pay for the extra kids, she's not too happy about the situtation but she was the one who messed up the reservation. She refused to pay. Since we didn't want any drama, we refund her the rest of her stay. In cash. With the dirty notes. And she's off with herself.
She goes to another hotel and they don't take the notes, because they had some brown stains on them. She comes in the door, you could tell she wasn't happy but asks calmly in French to speak with the boss. My manager instead comes out, I explain what's happening, she explains the situation in French and he says, we are in Spain, speak in Spanish and basically says the money is real and she can get out and this sets her off, she starts shouting out in French "ils donnent des faux billets ici" - they give out fake notes here and makes a scene for a few mins, then calls the police. We wait for a while and they come, they all go in the back, run the money through the machine and send her off marching with her tail between her legs.
From that day on, no damaged, stained or smelly notes are accepted.
I work in a family hotel so we don't get young drunk British or Irish people jumping off balconies, (if we did they would miss anyway). But one day a few years back we had a British family check in, all good, no issues. I came in the next day and heard about an incident with gravity.
So apparently the guy had been drinking and fell from a 3rd floor, I went outside just to give myself an idea of how high it is and I was like, oh fkkk, that's high, over 20m. Anyway, he luckily survived, his head missed the concrete curb and he landed on a bush (the bush is still ok, if you're wondering, thanks for asking). He discharged himself the next day, some broken ribs but ok and continued on with his holiday since the wife probably wasn't too happy with him.
The thing is we only have like a handful of apartments with bushes underneath them (out of like 150) and he was damn lucky, I told my colleague, wow you saved his life with that room allocation. Has anyone one else had a similar incident happen at their workplace that ended well?
