This assertion makes sense: "When certain, highly expensive pieces of jewellery are sold to buyers in different countries (say a $300,000 watch, for example), often times the company selling the watch will send someone to wear it on the plane over to said buyer's country, since to import it would cost them a lot in taxes, but to pay for someone to wear it as their own watch costs significantly less."
Random acts of aggression
A reader writes: "To the angry man who assaulted and abused me at Bunnings Silverdale last week - I understand you were maybe having a bad day and were very upset that I accidentally pushed the extended part of my trolley into your heels. However, I do not believe it justified your vile reaction. Even after I apologised profusely, you grabbed my trolley, pulled it back and then shoved the trolley with force into my chest and shin then loudly and verbally abused me. I would like to thank the staff that came to check on me as I was visibly upset and shaken. I do wonder, though, if I had been a young, 6ft male instead of a small, petite almost 60-year-old woman, would that have still been your reaction?"
