Fuse blown

After 3 years you got used to things and you just aren't surprised every week by something strange (to you). But recently I've seen two things worth sharing.

First thing

What's this?

For almost 2 years, I haven't noticed this small red bin in each restroom next to the washbasins having a bio-hazard label on it. This little container is for people suffering with diabetes. If they need to administer insulin during the day, they can safely dispose the used needles and syringes. And in each restroom I've been to on this campus, this thing was never empty. Now, there's either no policy in Europe regulating such medical waste at workplaces, or there's really a lot of people here dealing with diabetes! I vote for the second one. It's frightening. Maybe it's time to lift quotas on cane sugar and ban high fructose corn syrup?

Second thing 

 

This is just something I couldn't go by. Why would you want to take such a picture wearing a pink women's scarf around your waist on the beach in front of dozens of people?! Americans are really extrovert.
