$28: How much Rogelio Villarreal paid for two pairs of Cartier diamond earrings. The Tamaulipas, Mexico, man spotted the earrings for sale for $14 on the retailer’s website and ordered two pairs. Cartier realized the website contained a typo — the earrings were actually $14k per pair — and attempted to cancel his order and send him something else. But with the backing of Mexican officials, Villarreal stood his ground and received the earrings last month, though he said he now wishes people would talk to him about something else.

Incensed, she pointed out that the city had many public urinals but nowhere for women or people in wheelchairs to relieve themselves.
