Random anecdotes shared with me today.


A friend’s grandparents went for a walk every morning collecting the postman's discarded rubber bands. They have been doing this for 40+ years and now have a hefty collection of giant rubber band balls. The rubber band balls great for entertaining grandchildren and the morning walks great for blood pressure.

A friend would sell off his other half for $30,000. This would be for the cost of building a shed.

A friend’s couple friend bought a family home off a swiss couple. Lets name swiss couple Pierre and Beate (P&B) and other couple John and Joanne(J&J). P&B were very sad to be selling their house and decided to invite J&J for a farewell/welcome dinner before the property finally settled. J&J went along for what they expected to be a lovely meal and banter about the quirks of the home- certain windows jamming, the water takes a while heat up and the like, but when  dinner commenced J&J found it quite peculiar that P&B had  J&J's linkedin profiles printed at the dinner table. P&B proceeded to fire off interview like questions about their past jobs and future career prospects ending the night off with a final question on how J&J intended on paying their electricity bills. Apparently P&B payed it by direct debit and it was crucial for them to know that J&J would do the same.
 
A customer named Mark called through to phone banking, customer Mark insisted to be called Jesus during the call and threatened to hang up if not followed. As the operator refused to call him Jesus, customer Mark hung up and rang back several times with the same obscure request. He made his final call to make a formal complaint because they would not call him Jesus. 

The dot over the letter 'i' is called a tittle
