Irish Man Leaves Funny Recording For His Funeral


Anyone who is able to approach the very reality of their own death with a grand display of humor clearly figured something out. This Irish lad left quite the entertaining recording behind, for everyone that was able to attend his funeral. Wonder if it actually gave anyone in attendance a momentary scare.

Pyramid Scheme Gets Pitched On Dragon's Den


It takes some kind of blind ignorance or cojones to hop onto a show where you pitch ruthless investors your grand ideas, and then pitch them a pyramid scheme. I mean, dude. The genuine disbelief is real. You could tell something was awry with the excessive sweating going on.

Woman Shows Up To Pay Deposit Day Before Wedding


Well, it sounds like that wedding was destined to be a grand success. Anyone who is showing up to pay a deposit for their wedding the day before the actual wedding clearly has a whole lot going on underneath the surface. Maybe she could've had some sort of wiggle room if she hadn't insisted on making up something about a website existing. If you're looking for more juicy wedding drama, check out the most entitled bridezillas of 2020

Text - r/TalesFromTheFrontDesk + Join u/leamornor • 1y Women turns up to pay for her wedding that we don't have in the diary. Her wedding is tomorrow. Medium A large part of my job is answering phones and dealing with people who want to hire our large function room. In our town our room is one of very few places available to hold wedding receptions, birthday parties etc.

2.

Text - The process for hiring the room is quite simple. People ring up all the time and ask if the date they want is free. If it is we place a hold on the date for 14 days. If we don't hear back from them it opens up to anyone else that wants it. If they do decide they want it they have to come in for an appointment with either me or my boss. We go through the booking form and help them fill it in and explain the t&cs with them. They then pay their deposit and the function gets written in the di

Text - The smile on my face dropped. We have a birthday party booked in tomorrow. There is no way she can have her wedding here tomorrow. Me: Tomorrow isn't available. We already have a booking. MOB: You double booked? You'll have to cancel the other booking. Me: We haven't double booked. If you haven't filled a form in or paid a deposit then you haven't booked the room. When did you ask about the date? MOB : last July. I remember because we came in before we went for my birthday lunch. Me: we o

Text - Me: the same rules apply. If you don't fill in a form and pay the deposit within the two weeks we open it up to everyone else. Unfortunately someone else has booked the room. B: I did it all online Me: You did what online? B: Paid for the room Me: then why are you here today trying to pay for it now? B: uh.... Me: we don't have a website so you can't do anything online. MOB: she can't have the wedding here. Me: nope sorry.

6.

Text - They left. There was no shouting no anger at me. Nothing. She just casually shrugged her shoulders and walked away. I'm fully expecting the wedding party to turn up tomorrow all kitted out. Edit to add : my boss saw her throwing a huge tantrum in the road outside of our building. TL:DR woman turns up to pay for her wedding the day before it's due to take place. She failed to secure the date and we booked something else in. 4.7k 245 1, Share

Skillful Creations of Dubious Taste


Why do a weird job bad when it could be done with so much skill that it makes you question everything? Sure, taste is subjective, but most people would admit that a hand made Dora the Explorer themed knife set isn't exactly the greatest use of most people's time and effort. It's still cool that people continue to make skillful creations of questionable taste.

People Who Hired Private Investigators Share Their Discoveries


When anyone says private investigator, the first thing that comes to mind is a shady guy in a trench coat following you around in a car. Turns out that's only part of what they do. A lot of it is apparently searching through old documents. For some legal drama, here are some lawyers biggest revelations in court.

A few years later, my grandmother died of a grand mal seizure. Mom was taken in by her grandparents, but she always wondered why her dad left and what became of him. In her 40's, she saved up a bit and hired a PI to track him down. Turns out he moved over time from Pittsburg to California where he wound up in prison for armed robbery and so e other viole

Wallet Thief Gets Busted By Glitter Trap


Being able to catch a thief red-handed is overwhelmingly satisfying. Especially the petty thieves of the world. Like the thieves that insist on jacking their fellow coworkers' stuff from their personal lockers. Fortunately, there are things in this world like glitter traps. Glitter traps as a matter of fact prove massively effective at exposing thieves for their crimes. This isn't the first time we've seen a thief get busted by a glitter trap. Check out the unforgettable time that a package thief got defeated by a glitter bomb on video.

Most Entitled Bridezillas Of 2020


Weddings have always seemed to possess an innate ability to bring out people's most dramatic and unreasonable sides. They're occasions that are just ripe for people losing their minds when everything doesn't go just as they planned. Thus, you factor in a year of complete chaos like that of 2020, and you're bound to encounter all kinds of bridezilla implosions. These are some of the most notable bridezilla meltdowns that 2020 has seen.

Long story short my fiancé's best friend has been unable to use his phone since we have gotten engaged and so he couldn't ask him to be a groomsmen.

I can look into a spray I guess. I definitely can't dye it because it's been a lot of work to lighten it to this blue & I'm planning to go a bit darker but yeah. I'll look into some options for my hair. I know it's hot by it's my one day so if you can't suck it up I feel like you don't really care about me or and proba
