    Only two or three Australian spiders are poisonous.

    The ones you really have to watch out for are the drop-bears and the lesser spotted bogans.
    I thought the ones you really had to watch out for were the poisoness spiders that lurk in the toilet.

    What's a drop-bear? A koala with a parachute?

      You eat spiders ?!?

      (OK, I'm pedantic. Poisonous things are dangerous when you eat them - venemous things are dangerous when they try to eat you. ALL spiders are venemous, most - outside of Australia - either aren't venemous enough to hurt you or haven't got jaws strong enough to break human skin. I'm arachnaphobic and I know my enemy )

      I notice you don't mention the scorpions/snakes/jelly fish. I only said the worst had 8 legs. Some have no legs or many tenatacles - it's all scary as far as I'm concerned.

      I'm glad someone explained bogans. I'm wise to the drop bears. Every Christmas and birthday I make my mother a card and last Christmas it was a card featuring a dreaded drop-cat (partly based on a cat we had who was very bottom heavy). She had not heard of drop bears and was a bit mystified.

      Also - Platypuses (? no idea of the plural ?) are awesome. Don't criticise the platipi (?). That is all.

          While that is a funny concept in and of itself, (and not completely inaccurate) it does not capture the horror that is the drop bear.

                  Just last night, we were sold out at the hotel. I told this to an inquiring guest who happen to be a regular and she looked confused. She still insisted upon a room. Then she said "Well I am a regular guest!!!! I should be able to get a room!!!!" I told her I was sorry, but we were (ONCE AGAIN) sold out. She then said "Well I won't be staying here again! I will talk to the manager Monday morning!"

                  I guess the concept of being sold out didn't register with this woman.

                      Lets see...

                      -a item on sale last week is not on sale this week

                      -we caught you very much fake coupons and will not accept them

                      -it was busy before a major snow storm was predicted

                      -the shopping cart (which are stored outside due to lack of space inside) was cold/wet/hot/anything but dirty or broken

                      -you have to use a pin pad and scan your card yourself

                        -we don't offer tech support at 3:00 AM

                        -we wouldn't accept your return of opened software 6 months after you purchased it

                        -we allow our employees to eat and take vacations meaning you'll have to either wait or talk to someone else about your issue

                        and my personal favorite...

                        -we charge money for the product instead of giving it to you for free

                          I'm sure I had a few callers in my time in hell tell me "I'm going to competitor!" -- I'd have specifics, but you know how the mind tends to repress bad memories? Yeah.

                          Early on in my penance, I might have asked them if they were canceling due to technical issues and if I might be able to fix them. That stopped fairly quickly, as more and more of my soul was drained. After that, my usual response became something along the lines of "Okay, I'm tech support so I can't cancel your account, let me get you over to retention."

                                At the bowling alley I work at the arcade uses a card system were you charge money on to the cards and can save the tickets you've won on there as well. We've had people say they won't come back because we can't access the information that was on the cards when the place was run by a differant company that went out of business.
