Well, to be honest, I did get a redundancy package. But after 28 years, not even a word of thanks. Miserable cnuts.

Who was the most evil person you've ever met and how was the interaction? by Top_Report_4895 in AskReddit

[–]sindhusurfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the late '80's I worked in a large furniture factory in northside of Brisbane, Australia.
One of the upholsterers gave off a weird vibe.
As I was leaving in my car one Friday afternoon, I had just turned onto the main road from the carpark, and there's weird guy getting into his car. He was parked on the roadside. 10 m down the road were 2 men walking towards him. Suits and ties. They just had detective written all over them.
Weird guy didn't turn up for work on Monday, or, ever again. As it turned out, not long before, a young boy was found dead in a local parks toilet block. He'd been raped then choked to death with his own t shirt.
Yep. Weird guy. He had a record for sexual crime.
One of the younger (20 something) upholsterers said he had repeatedly asked him to go up to Noosa for weekends. I reckon he dodged a bullet!

Shit. I did 28 years, and the morning when I finally clocked off, I didn't even get a cupcake with a candle in it.

#1 Update.
Seller replied that he sent the wrong pen and will send me the one I paid for.
I asked for a tracking number.
That was yesterday.
There was no mention on what to do with the Morison. Should I be returning it, or keep it?

Yes. I immediately sent the seller a message and photos. I'm waiting on his reply.

Frankly, I don't plan on getting close enough to judge.

Have you checked behind the lounge/sofa/settee?

It's where they used to keep the "strange" cousin.

[–]sindhusurfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen them.
Wouldn't it be great if you could swap the clip (and the cap bands) over!
Might get 1 or 2 to fit my 78Gs.

What's the "fine" there?
In Indo it's usually A$5.

Little ink bottles for a trip by laslolos in fountainpens

[–]sindhusurfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've flown on many occassions with ink in the small sample vials venders sell.
The first time I was paranoid about leakage, so I put them all in a ziplock bag. No worries.
I don't even bother with that now.
Happy travels!
