Lemmy, what are some of your "oh shit" work stories?

Not my oh shit moment but certainly someone's. Working in a call centre they sent out an example of a fraud email that was being sent out with our logo. It asked for all your personal information and credit card information.

Several individuals replied with all their details filled in. 3 of them replied all (entire call centre) with their details filled in.

Racism Is Why Trump Is So Popular

They fear becoming a minority.

clutches pearls Goodness gracious, someone might treat them like they treat minorities!

That is literally what the white "christians" have been stressing about here. As a minority mutt that "passes", maybe try being less of an asshole?

Man sues Apple for accidentally exposing his infidelity

Declaring it a "very brutal way" for his wife to find out, he believes that there could've been a chance of the marriage continuing had he been able to "talk to her rationally."

I'm not sure if he means he could continue his behaviour without being caught or if he planned on lying and saying it was a one time thing. Either way I highly doubt he had any plans to be honest.

The "talk to her rationally" bit is hilarious. Yes I've been expensively unfaithful, have possibly been exposing you to a number of diseases without your knowledge, and have been physically unavailable regularly for years. What self respecting person wouldn't "rationally" see that as perfectly acceptable! /s

Planting mint

Depends on where you live. Mint does have limits. It really dislikes dry and cold. We've planted it several times here and it's quite difficult to keep it alive. Our growing season is quite short so it's a bit depressing to have it die so quickly.

Restaurants sit half-empty in Turkey this summer as inflation reaches 91% in places sending tourists and locals flocking to neighboring Greece

The images of menus from ~3 years ago have prices that line up with the average monthly wages. The recent photos of menus have the prices blanked out.

The "new" price of ~850 TRY for a single serving is over 25% of the average monthly wages (2900-3200). The site providing wages doesn't specify if that's the average earnings before or after tax either. Prices on older menus are more like ~50 TRY for the same item.
