Restaurant set internet on fire by charging 'absurd' health insurance fee in bill receipt  Featured Image Credit: Yelp/reddit/u/maxell505 By The Giggle: A restaurant has sparked outrage after charging an "absurd" fee to pay for health insurance for employees, and has since doubled back on its policy in a lengthy Facebook post explaining why they do it. We've all been in a situation where we've been hit with an unexpected charge, whether it's one of Airbnb's "add-on" fees that double your stay price, or one of the "simultaneous processing, admin, and handling fees" that come with concert tickets. But one Reddit user was faced with something they'd probably never seen before: a "Health Insurance fee". The customer's total bill for the night was , including food and drinks ( $50.50 plus $4.49 sales tax). But there was another surprise: $2.02 charge for "Health Insurance". A message on the receipt read: &quo

Man receives praise for not exchanging his plane seat with a pregnant lady who wanted to sit nearer to the bathroom Bing AI By The Giggle: A man has come under fire for refusing to give up his seat to a pregnant woman on a flight. On Reddit’s infamous ‘Am I the A**hole’ thread, a user named “@michaellonelly” posted about a “conundrum” that involved him having to give up a seat for a woman who was pregnant. “I booked an aisle seat for the holidays and paid extra to sit near the bathroom,” he wrote. “Right before I got on the plane, I was asked to give up the seat so a woman could sit near the bathroom.” He said the flight attendants “refused to mediate” when the woman insisted she needed to move, and that there were no other “alley or close seats” that he or the flight crew could have swapped her seat for. He also stated that he attempted to assist the woman but "she wouldn't let me." The user went on to claim that he attempted to speak with the woman's doctor about t

Angry server says she 'hates Europeans' after getting 10% tip on a $700 bill

Angry server says she 'hates Europeans' after getting 10% tip on a $700 bill X / madisontyt_ Scroll Down For details. A server has accused European diners of being “hostile” after she considered a $700 tip of 10% an “insult.” The debate over tipping has been ongoing for years, and I’d venture to say that we’re still no closer to finding a consensus. Different cultures and countries have different ways of handling tips, so when those two worlds collide, it can lead to a bit of a headache, especially for servers who feel shortchanged. In the United States, tips are meant to help a server’s income cover living expenses. In Europe, however, servers are often already earning a living wage and tips are often seen as a way to show appreciation for excellent service. For instance, in Italy and the United Kingdom, if a server tries to leave a tip, they likely won’t refuse your money, but they won’t expect you to hand over anything other than what’s on your check. In this case, the wait

Sonja Semyonova , 45, has always felt lonely, but her new friendship with the tree has helped to fill that vacuum. Sonja, a self-intimacy coach, even claims that the feelings she feels with the tree are what she has always sought in a partner. 'The presence I feel with the tree is what I'm seeking for, but that's a fantasy with a person,' said Sonja from Vancouver Island, British Columbia. 'The sensation of being small and sustained by something massive. The sensation of being unable to fall.

A stunning Spanish model earns $11,000 a month... but she doesn't even exist A Spanish model, Aitana Lopez, who is 25 years old and has a massive online following, is now earning $11,000 per month. The only problem is that Aitana is not a real person. Instead, she is the brainchild of Spanish designer Rubén Cruz.  Cruz has used artificial intelligence to create a virtual personality, which he is now monetizing. Thanks to Aitana's enthusiastic online fanbase, Cruz is now making a fortune. We have been warned for a long time that AI will eventually take over the world. But who would have thought that in 2023, Aitana would be making $132,000 per month by posting images online? View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aitana Lopez✨|Virtual Soul (@fit_aitana) Rubén Cruz clarified to EuroNews that the purpose behind our actions was to enhance our livelihood and liberate ourselves from relying on individuals driven by egos, obsessions, or solely driven by mon

He paid $50 for a chair on Facebook Marketplace. He sold it three months later for $85,000 A rare high-back chair by Danish designer Frits Henningsen. Justin Miller When I contacted the seller to set up a pick-up date, she told me the chair was worth a lot if I repaired it, Justin Miller says. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," he adds in an email. "It all started when I was on Facebook Marketplace, which I usually spend about 30 minutes on a daily basis for my home design content." In February, Miller saw a listing of a leather chair that was for sale at a family's yard sale near Beverly Hills. "I liked the color of the leather and the shape was interesting," he says. Indeed, it was worth a significant amount, as confirmed by the seller when I inquired about the possibility of picking it up. When Miller started looking into the chair, he discovered it was made by a Danish designer named Frits Heningsen and was one of only 50 ever made. There
