First up:
What would you do if your hairdo wasn’t up to scratch?Have a bit of a moan and ask for your money back or another coiffeur?
Not this “lady”, a furious customer had to be dragged off her hairdresser by police after her perm went wrong at a salon in Serbia.
Terrified Nevena Zivkovic dialled cops when hysterical Ruzica Radovic saw her bubble perm in a mirror after the treatment at a beauty parlour in Novi Sad.
Ruzica - who had to be calmed with a sedative at hospital - insisted she hadn't asked for curly hair.
A police spokesman said: "When we got a call from the shop we thought that there was a criminal in there attacking the staff.
"But instead what we found when we got there was an extremely angry lady who was unhappy with her hairdo.
"Our officers have had to deal with some very strange situations before but none of us can remember anything like this."
Shop owner Zivkovic said: "I am still in shock. She just went wild. If she was that unhappy she could have just said and we would have refunded her money."

A Chinese man was arrested for stealing a motorcycle - part by part over five years from the factory where he worked.
Zhang, an assembly line worker in a motorcycle factory in Chongqing, had always wanted his own motorbike but could never afford one.
He started stealing parts from the factory warehouse and assembling them at home in 2003, reports the Chongqing Times.
"I don't have that much money, so I came up with the idea of taking the parts home and assembling them on my own," said Zhang.
After five years, he had finally built himself a brand new SUV motorcycle and proudly started driving it on the road.
But, almost immediately, he was pulled up by police who discovered that he had no driving licence or paperwork for the bike.
Zhang admitted theft and was fined the equivalent of £440, put on probation for a year, and ordered to return the motorcycle to the factory.
Wonder what they cost to buy new?
Special chairs have been installed on trains to cope with rising obesity rates.
The blue-coloured seats are nearly twice as wide as normal chairs and can support even the bulkiest passenger up to 550lbs without breaking.
But baffled underground bosses in Sao Paulo, Brazil say they're being ignored by obese passengers, who they think are to ashamed to use them.
A sign above each seat shows a cartoon of a roly-poly passenger saying "Priority chair for obese people."
"It may be that they don't want to think of themselves as fat or they resent being put in with pensioners and the disabled," said one manager.
You think?
A pair of buskers who infuriated residents with their endless renditions of just two songs have been given ASBOs preventing them from playing in Moseley, Birmingham.
James Ryan and Andrew Stevens only know how to play 'Wonderwall' by Oasis and George Michael's 'Faith'.
Mr. Ryan, a guitar player, and Mr. Stevens, who would hit dustbin lids with drum sticks, had been playing the two songs to people in the Moseley area for the last 18 months.
Mr. Ryan, 40, from Edgbaston, Birmingham, and Mr. Stevens, also known as Andrew Cave, 39, of no fixed address, have been banned from entering parts of Moseley and playing musical instruments in public in the area.
The pair were also banned from begging anywhere in England and Wales.
They were warned they faced jail if they breached the two-year anti-social behaviour orders handed down on Wednesday by District Judge Qureshi at Birmingham Magistrates Court.
After the hearing, Mr. Ryan said: "The whole thing's about playing a guitar, it's a joke. Most people loved it."
Birmingham City Council said the pair stood outside various pubs in Moseley singing and begging, often playing from early evening into the early hours.
The pair also waited outside taxi ranks and cash points along St Mary's Row demanding money.

And finally:
Bin men refused to empty John Mason's wheelie bin because it contained apples which had fallen from his trees.
Mr. Mason, 64, cleared dozens of windfall apples and put them in his garden waste bin for recycling.
But when he later went to collect the bin he found it was still full and a sticker had been placed on top saying the bin was "contaminated".
Council officials ruled that apples are counted as "kitchen waste" instead of "garden waste" despite falling from his garden trees.
Mr. Mason, a retired businessman, condemned the workers as "bureaucratic idiots".
"I put the apples in my garden waste bin in complete innocence and put it out for the council to collect. I scratched my head and wondered what on earth the contamination could be at first.
Then they clarified it and said it was the apples."
Mr. Mason, of Connah's Quay, North Wales, was told that he had contaminated the bin as the apples were "food waste" and not acceptable garden waste.
"I put the apples in the bin along with weeds and grass cuttings. We all pay such a lot of council tax and could do without this petty nonsense. Bureaucratic idiocy like this annoys me."
But council official said apples are counted as foodstuff and not garden waste.
Andy Macbeth, Flintshire council's environmental services manager, said: "Spoiled fruit or vegetable peelings may have been inside a kitchen and come into contact with uncooked meats.
"It's difficult, if not impossible, for our operatives to determine whether spoiled fruit or vegetable peelings found in a brown bin have been in contact with other kitchen waste."
So from now on you have to grow apples in your kitchen and not in the garden, got that?

Well; I’m waiting.

That's a very Chinese way to do it. I like the Flintshire one too.
hair can always be sorted, why go mental over it?
