NEWTOWN man is ever grateful he gave a mate a spare key to his house.
The second key was so his mate could keep an eye on his home when he was away at work which he regularly is.
However, one recent Friday night, after a long night of watching Friday night football, our man was feeling “tired and emotional” and went outside to discard some bottles.
His head not being as clear as it usually is, he closed the automatic locking screen door behind him and found himself locked out of the house.
Fortunately, he had his mobile phone on him which meant he could call a taxi.
He jumped into the cab and travelled to his mate’s place who he woke up so he could get his spare key to let himself back into his own home.
Despite the cab fare, it was cheaper than smashing a window, our man told Whispers.
PAYS TO ANSWER CALLS
MOST of have the same practice when it comes to receiving phone calls from an unknown number.
We tend to let them ring out for fear it’s some scam or telemarketer.
However, one Toowoomba chap almost paid the penalty for not answering the unrecognisable number when it called on Tuesday.
Initially, he ignored it until a text message followed a few minutes later.
He called the number back as instructed to hear: “Hello, this your payroll department, we rang to tell you to complete your personal details form or you won’t be paid”.
He acted immediately.
TOOWOOMBA’S BASIL FAWLTY?
CERTAIN barman at a certain Toowoomba hotel has a certain way about him.
He has a tendency to tell customers where to go if they annoy him while he’s working.
One patron this week asked: “Whatever happened to the ‘customer is always right’?”
“Not at this pub!” he barked.
