Currently, COVID-19 has banned people from going out and socializing with others. Nevertheless, even in this situation, people are pursuing happiness in their own ways. Therefore, amazing things are still happening in the world.

 

The United Kingdom

During the lockdown in Britain, an amusing incident happened with a cleaner. The library building cleaners had to clean all of the tables, desks, shelves and bookcases. In Suffolk, the New Market Library staff found it interesting to see that their books were arranged in book size order rather than by topic and book number.

James Powell, who works at the library, said, “They will have enough time to organize the books because the library is likely to be closed for the time being.”

More than 5,000 Twitter posts were shared the New Market Library tweet and incident about the enthusiastic cleaner.

Banksy, who unveiled his “Toilet” work during the lockdown, thought the cleaner is a wonderful person who did a good job at the library. He thought it was an unintentional mistake, so we do not want the cleaner to feel sorry for it.

 

The United States

With the prolonged global pandemic, U.S. consumers are increasing their discretionary spending to find comfort and enjoyment.

According to a KOTRA report, U.S. consumers were hoarding daily necessities and focusing on basic living expenses in the spring. They are now changing their spending patterns to find enjoyment in their longer indoor lives.

Amazon’s bestsellers in the field of small kitchen appliances were a whisker and sandwich maker. This is because more people are cooking at home since they cannot go to restaurants.

Adopting pets or the existing pet population has also increased the purchase of pet products. Some pet owners have expanded their purchases out of fear that dog or cat food and snacks may run out, a report showed. For example, Chewy’s sales, a leading pet food company, grew 35 percent in the first quarter.

 

 

Russia

In Russia, people were laughing by dyeing their hair with a unique tool.  People used very long tools to minimize contact between them. Also, they wore black masks to prevent infection. It has not been verified whether the tool is effective, but it has given many a laugh.

 

 It is quite fortunate that something makes the tired laugh for a while.
