Unbelievable Things People Used as Tips Instead of Actual Money

It makes my blood boil and I’m not even a waiter.

Why, why, why on Earth do people think it’s okay to not tip servers? Or worse yet, to give them some kind of bullsh*t “advice” or just write something snarky on the tip line of the receipt?

Wait until you see some of the ludicrous things customers left for their servers instead of, you know, the actual money they’re working for.

Dying Man’s Final Request Honored by Ambulance Drivers

Two ambulance drivers went out of their way when a 72-year-old Australian man, Ron McCartney took his final ride to the hospital for palliative care. His wife Sharon told the ambulance drivers that her husband had been eating very little the previous few days. So the officers, Kate Hanafy and Hanna Hoswell, asked Mr. McCartney what he’d want to eat, if he could have anything. His answer: a caramel sundae. So the crew stopped by McDonald’s to grant Ron his wish.

The Facebook post from the Queensland Ambulance Service read:

“If you could eat anything, what would it be?

We have been left humbled and tinged with sadness after receiving a message of gratitude that underlines an often-unseen aspect of patient care; the caring.

Last week, Gold Coast resident Sharon called an ambulance for her husband Ron’s final journey to hospital and palliative care. Paramedics Kate and Hanna responded and during their initial observations of Ron, Sharon mentioned that he had barely eaten anything over two days. The officers asked Ron, if you could eat anything… what would it be? To which Ron replied, a caramel sundae.

Sharon’s recent message emphasised the enjoyment Ron received from such a simple action and thanked paramedics for the swift and high level of care and compassion shown to him on both this occasion, and their previous interactions over the last few months as well.”

Ron passed away and his daughter expressed her gratitude for the kindness shown to her father. Danielle Smith said, “Thank you so very much to Hannah and Kate, Dad enjoyed this so much and was the last thing he was able to eat by himself. Mum and I cannot thank QAS enough for all the help and compassion you have all given towards us each time we have had to call you.”

Well done, ladies.

There is a German settlement in…

There is a German settlement in the jungles of Peru called Pozuzo that was established in 1859 by around 150 German/Austrian settlers. They were completely cut off from both their Homeland and the rest of Peru for 120 years. They were able to do this by being completely self sufficient. This is how Pozuzo looks […]

According to Science, Here’s How Often You Should Wash Your Sheets

One of the best feelings in the world is climbing into a freshly made bed covered in clean-smelling sheets, and yet…if you’re the one who has to do the washing and drying and making, the pleasure is diminished about 10% with each task.

Well, science is stepping in with some information that might give you a push to do it a bit more often. How often, you ask?

At least once a week.

Any longer than that and you’ll find yourself sleeping among a “botanical park” of bacteria, according to NYU microbiologist Philip Tierno.

Along with your own, ‘human’ bacteria, the ones found on skin and in sweat, spit, and other bodily fluids, there’s also pollen, lint, dust mites, and as many as 16 different kinds of fungus – on your pillows alone. Since you spend about a third of your life in your bed, that might be concerning for the cleanest among you.

If you suffer from allergies or develop other symptoms like sniffling and sneezing without other signs of a cold, your dirty sheets could definitely be to blame.

Tierno talked with Business Insider, and compared sleeping in more than week old sheets to not washing your hands after you touched dog poop in the street. “If you saw what was there – but of course you don’t see it – after a while you have to say to yourself, ‘Do I want to sleep in that?’”

Since the answer is likely no, stock up on your laundry detergent and get to work. It might not sound like fun now, but once you’re snuggled up in clean sheets and resting assured that no extra allergens are finding their way into your airways, you’ll definitely be glad you did!

Famous Actors Who Stole Items from Movie Sets

I’ve always been curious if actors or people who work on movie sets get to take any souvenirs after a film wraps.

I bet the guys and gals on the crew probably can’t pick and choose as they please, but you better believe that actors get to take home some goodies.

Here are 10 Hollywood actors who took cool items from movies they worked on.

1. Jennifer Lawrence

Lawrence kept the jacket and boots she wore in The Hunger Games and said the items are currently collecting dust in her closet.

2. Daniel Radcliffe

The Harry Potter star decided to go small with his takeaways. Radcliffe kept his glasses at the end of each production. He said, “The ones from the first film are absolutely tiny now, but they are very sweet. – They are all lens-less as well. There was rarely ever any glass in the actual glasses, because of filming problems with reflections.”

3. Robert Downey Jr.

The big movie star pulled a stunt his character Tony Stark probably would’ve and had a 30-foot prop delivered to his office. Downey said, “On the last Avengers, there’s this scene where there’s this ‘A’ which is probably 30 feet tall, and I’m looking at it, and we’re shooting in England, and I go, ‘I need that in my office in Venice. About two weeks ago, a wheeler showed up, I’m like, ‘What the heck is this doing here?’ And they go, ‘This is the ‘A’ you asked for.’ And I go, ‘They brought it?’ So now we have a massive Avengers ‘A’ that will be prominently placed.”

I wonder how big his office is…

4. Chris Pratt

You know Pratt had to swipe that stylin’ jacket he wore in Guardians of the Galaxy. And he did just that.

5. Mark Wahlberg

If you’ve seen Boogie Nights, you’ll never forget the final shot. Mark Wahlberg unzips and we see, ummm, his rather large prosthetic penis. The actor took the prop home and said, “I used to keep it in my desk drawer, and I’d take it out and slap my friends in the face with it. I don’t keep many things from my movies, but that just seemed to have personal significance. [I] didn’t think there would be that much interest in it but maybe I can at some point sell it at auction for charity.”

6. Dakota Johnson

The 50 Shades of Grey actress stole her underwear she wore in the sexy film because “they were comfortable.” Johnson admits she also took a flogger and it’s sitting in her garage collecting dust.

7. Chris Hemsworth

The original Thor’s hammer sold for $50,000, but Hemsworth has multiple replicas from the film in his possession. Hemsworth said, “I’ve got five. One’s in the toilet. It’s next to the toilet, if you need some assistance… Often, people stay in there a little longer and I think it’s because of the hammer. It’s pretty heavy, and one of my sons in particular who’s a beefy little kid certainly is sort of like Papa look, looking I can do it. [Then drops it], so the hammer’s got a few dents in it and scratches.”

8. Simon Pegg

Simon Pegg managed to get his Starfleet badge from Star Trek: Into Darkness home with him. Pegg said, “On the first film, every day we’d hand back our badge and I had a Starfleet ring. This one, I stole my badge. It was on my costume when I got back to my trailer and it’s a beautiful little brass thing. And I put it in my bag.” Can’t blame Scotty for that one.

9. Emma Watson

Radcliffe’s co-star Emma Watson also pillaged the set of Harry Potter films, taking her invisibility cloak, wand, and the time-turner.

10. James Caan

And to end on a creepy note, Mr. Caan liked the Royal 10 typewriter he used in Misery so much he took it home.
