Sue Warren decided she wasn’t going to sit around and wait for clients to call her house cleaning business. Instead, she took the initiative and started breaking into people’s houses, cleaning them and leaving the bill. You have to admit, it’s a pretty bold business plan. According to the Westlake Police Department, the 53-year-old woman from Elyria, Ohio, was apprehended last week, after she broke into a house on Dover Center Road, did some light cleaning and left a bill for $75, on a napkin. Mallory Bush, 18, was actually asleep in her bedroom the whole time, and when she woke up and saw the place slightly cleaner and the bill on the table, she thought her parents had hired a cleaning person. She called her mom, Sherri, to tell her the hired help did their job, but the woman had no idea what she was talking about, so they decided to give Sue a call, thinking she cleaned the wrong house. When they heard her answer, the Bushes’ jaws dropped to the ground. Photo: WKYC video caption “I said, what happened, did you get the wrong house? She said, ‘no, I do this all the time.’ I said, what do you mean? She said, ‘I just stop and clean your house’,” Sherri Bush remembers. That’s when they decided to call the cops. Having left her contact details on the napkin cleaning bill, tracking down Warren wasn’t very hard. When investigators gave her a call to ask about her bizarre habit, she became irate and hung up, but not before telling them she does this all the time. Police would later find out the woman dubbed “cleaning fairy, indeed had two other charges pending in surrounding communities for similar antics. Just last month, Sue was accused of trespassing, in Beachwood, after pulling the same stunt.
“She said she was driving down the street and randomly picked our house and cleaned it cause she was desperate for money,” Mallory Bush said. Her mother says that seeing her work she would probably have paid her $15, but certainly not $75. Since there was no sign of forced entry and nothing was stolen from the hose, no charges have yet been filed against the cleaning fairy, in Westlake. Sue Warren’s cleaning business is also present online, in case you’re interested. via Newsnet5 Cleaning Fairy Breaks into Houses and Leaves Cleaning Bill was originally posted at OddityCentral.com  |
| Wannabe Incredible Hulk Used Green Industrial Paint That Wouldn’t Come Off Posted: 31 May 2012 02:01 AM PDT
Paulo Henrique dos Santos, a pool attendant from Brazil, wanted so much to impersonate the Incredible Hulk for a local running event that he painted himself with green industrial paint. He later found out the paint won’t come off no matter how hard he scrubbed. I always thought becoming a superhero was hard, but a young Brazilian Hulk fan proves it’s returning to human form that’s really tricky. According to Brazilian news site Globo Extra, 35-year-old Paulo Henrique dos Santos achieved celebrity status in the Villa Cruzeiro favela of Rio Janeiro, after he covered himself in green industrial paint, only to realize it won’t wash off. His intention was to dress up as the popular superhero for a running event, but since shops didn’t have the brand of paint he normally used, this “genius” decided to go with industrial paint normally used for ballistic missiles and nuclear submarines. Photo: Fabio Guimaraes/Extra When it was time to remove the green paint, dos Santos noticed that no matter how hard he scrubbed, it would not wash off. He took 20 baths in two days, desperate to remove his improvised Hulk costume, but had no success. As if the embarrassed of having all his neighbors laugh at him as he walked around his neighborhood wasn’t enough, photos of him and his mother trying to remove the paint went viral on the Internet. He was also forced to sleep in a room filled with plastic bags and feared the industrial paint could cause lead poisoning. Photo: Fabio Guimaraes/Extra Lucky for Paulo, this story has a happy ending. After a whole team of family and friends scrubbed him for 24 hours, the man finally succeeded in removing the green paint. Despite everything he had to go through, the wannabe Hulk says he doesn’t regret the incident… Photo: Fabio Guimaraes/Extra Wannabe Incredible Hulk Used Green Industrial Paint That Wouldn’t Come Off was originally posted at OddityCentral.com  |
| Pentagram-Stamped $666 Burger Is World’s Most Expensive Posted: 31 May 2012 01:12 AM PDT
Just days after New York’s Serendipity 3 restaurant claimed the Guinness Record for the world’s most expensive burger, with its $295 Le Burger Extravagant, another challenger appears. Presenting the Douche Burger, a $666 sinful delight. After news of Serendipity 3′s burger being dubbed the world’s most expensive spread on the Internet, food blogs were almost immediately bombarded with emails about another calorie bomb that cost more than double the price of Le Burger Extravagant. That’s how the world discovered the Douch Burger, a product created by Franz Aliquo, owner of the 666 Burger food-truck. According to their Facebook page, this devilish delicacy “costs $666.00 and consists of a f*cking burger filled and topped with rich people sh*t. Kobe beef patty (wrapped in gold leaf), foie gras, caviar, lobster, truffles, imported aged Gruyére cheese (melted with champagne steam) kopi luwak BBQ sauce, and Himalayan rock salt. It may not taste good, but it will make you feel rich as f*ck. Douche.” Gothamist interviewed Aliquo, and discovered the burger is also wrapped in three $100 bills. “When you are done with it you’ll have three greasy hundred dollar bills and have to decide what to do with them. That’s why it is called the Douche Burger,” the original entrepreneur said. Photo by Mackenzie Keegan You might think the expensive creation of 666 Burger is an attempt to create the most delicious burger in the world, but you would be wrong. ”The point is that putting all this crap on top of a burger doesn’t make it taste any better and it is contrary to the essence of a burger,” Franz Aliquo says. ”It’s simple to pile a bunch of expensive stuff on a burger and charge a f*ckload for it … I have an unbridled disgust for these types of burgers and seething anger towards those that make them and try to sell them as something fancy and worthy of respect, when in essence, it’s just a chef/customer being a douchebag. Call a spade a spade.” Photo: 666 Burger/Facebook “F*ck You and your shitty $295 burger for poor people, Serendipity. $666. That's a number the 1% can get behind.” This is the message $666 Burger posted on their Facebook page, and the high-class New York restaurant was quick to respond: They do not have a Guinness World Record, we have the world record,” said Joe Calderone, who handles the business’ public relations. ”They may have something, but it's not sanctioned as the most expensive by Guinness World Records.” But that might change very soon, as Aliquo plans to contact Guinness to make matters right. Photo: 666 Burger/Facebook Because the evil-looking 666 Burger food-truck has been in business for only a week, they haven’t yet sold any $666 Douche Burgers, but they’ve had plenty of inquiries. via The Daily Meal Pentagram-Stamped $666 Burger Is World’s Most Expensive was originally posted at OddityCentral.com  |
