So they couldn't have driven a straight non angled path up to the house and fitted a lift?
That is a work of genius!

On the plus side, it should keep door to door salespeople away.
Of course a couple could just buy two even seats than just move over. I can't imagine they are that strict with seating and it's only one guy.

Put him in a real-life first-person shooter, armed only with a potato. I'm sure his boredom will disappear rather quickly.

And here I was thinking, what could make me laugh and cry at the same time? It's makes me laugh because (outdated stereotype incoming
) a blonde is getting hypnotherapy to become EVEN dumber, and it makes me cry that someone is letting a doll not only effect their fashion sense but even their IQ too.

This isn't current, but a cap from a BBC story some time ago. For some reason the Photo Editor's choice of illustration made me look twice.

This one is more facepalm funny than haha funny.
Lady buys iPad during cancer treatment, dies, leaves it in her will to her son. Apple want proof he now owns it. Death certificate and will are not enough proof.

Re-read the story, there's an important detail that you missed... she didn't leave it to her son.
The estate (all her sons) decided to give it to the eldest. Apple's problem was that under the terms of their rules they have no chain of ownership from the deceased > estate > son that was recognised in their procedures.
I was just being pedantic, although that point is the reason that the problem initially occured. Overall it seems to have taken Apple too long to resolve what should have been quite simple.
It's an unusual set of circumstances (I don't remember anything too similar before) but likely to become more common, it's started me thinking about what happens to all my devices when the EMF finally cooks me.
EDIT: And to contribute, a story from the Grimsby Evening Telegraph; Ex Girlfriend of Louth Teen Who Had Sex With Her Dog Speaks of Sickening Ordeal
This isn't funny, it's a story of tragedy, despair, and a dog with no voice. Really, it isn't.

I did see that she left it to her sons - who amicably decided who would have it. I am sure this guy's brothers would affirm that he is the rightful owner - which was probably done in the solicitors letter (which I didn't mention). If a death certificate, will and solicitors letter are not enough to prove chain of ownership, then
. If they were fighting over it, then I can understand Apple's position. As it stands, it just sounds like Apple are forcing them into giving in and buying a new device instead of continuing to use a perfectly good one which belongs to a dead lady.

Sadly, common sense does not create a proper paper trail. If Apple's internal rules require a discrete paper trail that ticks box "A", box "B" and box "C", then they need to tick all those boxes to enact the transfer of the account.

Not a very unusual thing when dealing with telecommunications company accounts.

Seems to me what the brothers should have done was write out a statement saying they'd all agreed to give it to the one son and then had the statement notarized; the article mentioned "letters" but not notarization. Simple procedure and inexpensive. So much so that I wonder if they'd done exactly that. But yeah, I suspect @Barra333 is close to the truth of the matter.

@Touring Mars It would have been doubly amusing if both junctions leading onto that street were roundabouts.
