Yesterday could not remember my password & sent several requests to send me a new one. Just 24 hours later
they've still not sent me a new one. Come the strawberry float on. I don't want to waste my time ringing you. I've
got better stuff to be doing with my time.

If it's Yahoo mail it probably just got 'lost' and you'll receive it sometime in April.

Viral posts which go:

"This AMAZING thing happend... and you'll NEVER believe what happened next"

They tend to follow that format. It's sp strawberry floating annoying. Just give an accurate description of what the contend is without the hyperbole.

This 8 year old said hello to a homeless man, and what happened next will BLOW YOUR MIND.

I understand when sites like buzzfeed, upworthy, Huffington post, etc. do it, but it really winds me up when you see actual news sites start doing it. I saw a link on Facebook from, I think, the Independent, which followed that exact format. Since when did click bait start to pass for actual journalism?

Never mind the fact that these MIND BLOWING things are never remotely so.

Rab Florence compared me to Bill Nighy. Looking at that photo on the previous page, I can now totally see it. Sorry Bunni, just thought I'd ruin that for you.

Woman asked me for a bus fare last week. She claimed she fell asleep at the bus stop and her son got lost trying to pick her up. Seemed like a scam. Her story sounded recited and well practiced.

Last night, same bus stop, same woman, same story. She didn't remember me. She shut up exceedingly quickly and turned very sheepish when I called her out on her scamming ways in a calm but pointed manner. Made me angry enough that I considered calling the police. Not sure what they could have done though, her word against mine.

Other people may have reported her before so it's possible you'd give them more evidence.

Also there might be a CCTV camera nearby.

It seems like you are new to the "I need money for the bus" scam :lol: A guy in Sheffield has been asking for money to get home for years.
