Don’t you think this is just cruel?
Exam supervisors at a German University stuck by the rules when a student writing an exam stated that he had to urinate mid-exam due to bladder dysfunction he wasn’t allowed to exit the room and use the washroom. Nope. He was provided with a bottle to urinate in and had to do it in front of the other 120 students who were also writing the exam.
I hope no women had to pee!
The overseers of the exam told the 27 year old student of Freiburg University in South Western Germany that he’d be failed if he left the room during the exam. The man had a bladder control problem due to an accident that left him on crutches.
The supervisors wouldn’t even accompany the man to the washroom despite the request of other students.
A kind female student emptied her water bottle so that the man could use the bottle in the corner of the room to relieve himself.
University deputy head Karl Reinhard Volz apologized to the student when he heard what had happened to the student. He went on to say that the supervisors actions were unjustified and lacking in any normal human sensitivity.

A grand dinner was held for high-rolling food lovers from around the world on the 65th floor of a luxury hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. It was a truly unique dining experience for many. The event was called “Epicurean Masters of the World”.
At 25 thousand dollars a pop, many had trouble finishing the ten course gourmet dinner that was prepared by six three star Michelin Chefs, four from France and one each from Italy and Germany.
The extravagant dinner featured Perigord truffles, Beluga caviar, Kobe beef, Brittany lobster and each was paired with a rare and robust vintage wine. The event was designed to promote Thai tourism. Most of the profits will got to two charities.
Imagine paying 25,000 for a meal that’s so large and so rich that you can’t even finish it?

They must have some very very sensitive fire alarms in Berlin Germany.
Recently a group of young German women used so much spray deodorant in the North Sea youth Hostel’s bathroom that it set off the fire alarm. The local fire brigade responded to the alarms rushing into to rescue the young women.
“The fumes of the pleasant-smelling deodorant were so intense that they drifted up to the ceiling and set off a fire detector,” said Volker Buttgereit of the Buesum police force.
“Hopefully the girls will get by with a little less spray next time,” said Buttgereit, admitting to being surprised that the heavy use of deodorant set off the alarm.
