Pitstop I've been seeing so much of this in the news. She was lucky and brave to survive. Not fun, getting lost in those areas. We'd love to drive once through the lonely outback, but I'm not sure if I have the guts to do this.

Have you ever!

Judy Story @jstory07 (145100) • Roseburg, Oregon 12 Jul

Have you ever stopped at a traffic light and you thought your car was moving. So you put your foot down harder on the brake. Have you ever looked at something from a distance and drove by the object and it was not what you...

What will he give up next?

Fleur @Fleura (32036) • United Kingdom 5 Jul

As I’ve mentioned before, my partner gave up alcohol quite a while ago – it must be 5 or 6 years ago already. He tried for a month, and although he used to be quite a keen drinker before, he said he didn’t miss it and was quite...

Pitstop I don't drink alcohol, so that's easy 'giving up' for me. I doubt I'll be able to give up coffee. My wife and I enjoy coffe together and we also have coffee dates with friends. So the cost of giving up coffee is a bit to much for me.

No Water.

rakski @rakski (143245) • Philippines 21 Jun

Nothing like hopping into the shower after a long day, only for the water to vanish mid-scrub. So there I stood, shampoo on my head, trying to decide whether to laugh, cry, or grab a pail. Note to self: always check the water...

Did you have a customer who failed to pay the order upon delivery?

Erly Maglangit @cacay1 (85235) • Cagayan De Oro, Philippines 15 Jun

Did you experience this in your online business? A customer refused to pay for the order for vague reasons? What was your sanction for that unruly customer? It will be crucial to have a customer like this. We capitalize the...

Pitstop There will always be the odd customer who goes rogue. Do you sell via an e-commerce platform? Won't they ensure you get the amount due?

Athens in the hot sunshine.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (13908) • Ireland 20 May

We took the weirdest ride today, though we’ve taken it before. A funicular makes its way to the top of Lycebettus hill in Athens, but it doesn’t make its way up the side of the hill like a sensible funicular, affording passengers...
