You know that saying the customer is always right? Well, it turns out that sometimes they’re not. 

Especially not this one, who posted a photo of two rotten avocados in order to complain to her local Woolworths that they’d sold her dodgy goods, claiming she’d bought the avocados the previous day.

She said: ‘Upon making a sandwich today I came to find these avocados are rotten! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, I demand my money back!’

In news that broke hearts everywhere, we were told this week that dogs hate our hugs.

It was hard news to swallow, and some people have rejected it outright – but we’ve begrudgingly accepted they might have a point. I mean look at these animals being hugged – they look so uncomfortable.

But, dog lovers: just because your dog can’t say those three little words and they don’t appreciate your hugs, it doesn’t mean you don’t mean a lot to them.

There are lots of tell-tale signs that your dog holds a huge amount of affection for you. It’s just that they show it in… Read the full story

Judy Obregon was on her way to her mother-in-law’s when she saw something in the road from the corner of her eye.

Getting out of her car, she was met with a tiny opossum lying still on the ground, which she assumed was dead.

But just as she turned to get back in her car, the tiny animal lifted its head. As Judy got closer, she noticed the animal was intact and didn’t seem to have been hit by a car.

Instead, it looked to have been hit by an air gun. On closer inspection, Judy discovered the animal was pregnant.

The opossum was struggling to lift her head and was… Read the full story

Wherever you are in the world, there’s one thing that unites us: looking up at the sky.

Because, you know, we’re all looking at the same sky. It may be covered in smog where we are, or have trees covering the view a bit somewhere else. But we’ve all got the same sky.

Kind of romantic, isn’t it?

That being said, there are most definitely some people who… Read the full story

Double cheeseburger feeling a bit same-y?

Don’t panic. You don’t need to resort to giving up McDonald’s and actually making your own damn meal. That would be madness.

McDonald’s is shaking things up a bit with three brand new burgers – plus one old one.

As part of McDonald’s Great Tastes of America menu (which is served up every summer), Maccy’s will be introducing three snazzy American-themed burgers: The Tennessee Stack, The New York Stack, and The Tex Mex Stack.

Here’s what to expect from each one.

April 29 marks five years since Kate and Wills tied the knot at Westminster Abbey and we all got on Pimm’s and Victoria sponge.

Yes, that was five whole years ago. It’s so long ago that Victoria Beckham as still in hoof-heel six-inch Louboutins. Imagine that.

Anyway, since then, the Duke and Duchess have really blossomed. They’ve become the married couple we always hoped they’d be – adorably awkward, occasionally affectionate (when they think no one’s looking) and always turning up in the same outfit.

They’re the perfect old married couple.

Like when they discovered 3D glasses and it was the cutest. 

Man leaves bold request on his leg for surgeons operating on his hip

There’s no doubt operations can be nerve-wracking. 

You are putting all of your trust into a group of surgeons who you just pray are having a good day and know what they’re doing (which pretty much all the time they do, for the record).

One guy who wanted to make extra sure he was going to wake up pain-free and ready to recover was Imgur user Nathanhessmusic.

Posting to Reddit to let everyone know he was off to have his hip replaced, he shared a photo of a note he’d written to the person operating on him.

And where was this note? On his thigh.

Well, that’s one way to keep a surgeon on his toes.

Funnily enough, though, other Reddit users were more concerned over Nathan’s username – seeing as it so perfectly fit with the day’s events.

An important note for anyone planning to tweet out a rhetorical question: maybe don’t.

Or if you do, be very, very prepared for a crap-tonne of sarky responses.

It’s the internet we’re talking about. People are d*cks.

And that is a lesson Vogue, erm, didn’t quite learn over the course of the last 24 hours. On the 27th April, 2016, Vogue UK decided to tweet out the following query: ‘Who said… Read the full story

The women, who are thought to be part of the same dance troupe, were taking selfies on their visit when other tourists spotted their swagger and turned their own cameras on them.

The women have gone viral on Chinese social media because of their model looks and high fashion. And for good reason, too.

This is why one of your eyebrows is better than the other

If you’re a true eyebrow enthusiast, you’ll know the ‘sisters, not twins’ rule all too well. 

But have you ever wondered why they’re sisters – not twins? For example, why it is that one eyebrow is painstakingly obviously better than the other?

Okay, it’s probably only really noticeable to you. But still, it matters.

Sophie Hannah Richardson: How to achieve the glitter underbrow look

Apparently, it’s all down to each of your brows having different muscle movement – with one brow having weaker movement than the other.

Brow expert Tonya Crooks, who has worked with eyebrows belonging to the likes of Megan Fox and Eva Mendes, told PopSugar: ‘Sometimes this is caused by what side [of your face] you’re sleeping on, [which can make] the muscles on one side weaker than the other. Sometimes it is due to how you naturally show expression.’

Here’s some positive news to send you off to the pub: drinking beer could help you lose weight. Kind of.

A new study from researchers at Oregon State University found that xanthohumol, a flavonoid found in hops and beer, helped mice lose weight and lower their cholesterol levels.

They split 48 male mice into two groups – both being fed high-fat diets, but one group given 30-60 milligrams of xanthohumol per kilogram of bodyweight each day for 12 weeks.

The mice given the highest dosage of xanthuhumol ended up cutting their harmful cholesterol levels by 80%, and they gained 22%… Read the full story

But how much of a Greggspert are you really?

Do you reckon you could identify each pasty or roll from sight alone? Each one has a subtly different appearance and you might think that you can tell them apart with ease – but we guarantee that you will find this quiz harder than you think.

Percy’s a pretty worldly pig. Partly because of all his globetrotting adventures, partly because he just has so many pals.  

And, now, he’s shown he’s totally down with piglets, by embracing emoticons.

Yes, for better or worse, you can now get Percy in emoji form.

‘Percy’s Percynalities’, launched by M&S this week, feature Percy with 10 different facial expressions, based on our favourite emoji faces.

Percy runs a whole gamut of emotions – including happy, sad, crying, love struck, winking cheekily, and chilling with his shades on.

At first glance, it all looks like a joke tee, that’s waiting for a punchline. You know, dads don’t babysit, they drink beer, watch football and chop wood #lads. That kind of thing.

But, in fact, these T-shirts are making a serious point about the sexist stereotypes fathers have to deal with on a daily basis.

Because dads aren’t babysitters. They’re not just someone who tries to look after the kids when mum’s busy – they’re parents too.

Anyone who wears glasses will know the endless struggle.

Your glasses slip down your nose. You push them back up. They slip down again. It happens when you’re reading, sitting, texting. ALL the damn time, basically.

But it turns out that there’s a trick to fix this life-ruining problem. And it’s been right under our nose (ha) the whole time.

As part of a Reddit thread about makeup tips for glasses wearers, a few genius members of the makeup addiction group shared a truly brilliant tip for keeping your glasses on your nose: eyeshadow primer.

We’ve all heard the poo falling from the sky stories.

For example, flying faeces was, not so long ago, blamed for interrupting a sixteenth birthday party. Fortunately, it was after they’d cut the cake, but, still, it did sort of ruin the mood.

But, now Air New Zealand’s ‘pee lab’ has released a video to reassure customers that poo can’t leak out and fall on unsuspecting people down below.

Yes, they have a pee lab, although we think technical operations staff Dwayne, Peter and Jack, may have made that sign themselves. Just a feeling.

Tinder’s great, right? All the shirtless dudes and awkward pickup lines to swipe through until the end of times. All the potential sex and awful dates. It’s truly a joy.

But there’s always been one thing Tinder has truly been missing: the opportunity to easily arrange an orgy.

Thankfully they’ve remedied this with Tinder Social. It’s a new app that lets you Tinder date in a group.

Here’s how it works. You form a group with your friends, and can then swipe through other groups, left or right swiping depending on whether or not your feeling their vibes.
