Stupid People Doing Stupid Things Thread - Part 1

You'd think people would be more mature than leaping directly to stabbing someone over some stolen food but then you'd remember that people are idiots.

You'd think people would be more mature than leaping directly to stabbing someone over some stolen food but then you'd remember that people are idiots.

I cant imagine what day to day life is like for a person whose first thought when a meatball is stolen from them is "I should stab that person." I might could understand if they were starving to death, like actually starving to death, and that sub was bought with the last money they had and had no way of getting more food and will die if they dont get that meatball back, but short of that there's really no excuse for that reaction.

 

[KevanG]

You have to wonder what goes through their heads though. "That was my meatball! *stab* I foresee no problems with the outcome of that decision."

 

[guitarsingerguy]

Now that's a spicy meat-a-ball!

 

[Anubis]

Sounds like a last straw situation. Wife left him. Dog died. Stubbed his toe a few weeks ago then goes to the doctor and he tells him he's got a blood infection so they have to amputate his big toe. Now some asshat steals his meatball? Well f**k that.

This is why everyone should just eat tacos. Tacos never cause this type of hostility.

Which would ultimately be hell on the sewage system.

School Won't Give Boy a Bus Pass Because He Lives 6 Feet Too Close

The father of a British schoolboy says his son has been screwed out of a bus pass because the local council is stubbornly enforcing a policy down to the last decimal place. Jon Lawson, age 11, lives 1.999 miles away from school. Students who live 2 miles out are eligible for free passes.

Although Jon doesn't get a free bus pass, his older brother Liam, 14, does. Walking directions have been updated since Liam applied, and the Lawsons are now considered to live six feet closer to the Seaham School of Technology than they did before, the Mirror reports.

Durham County Council said in a letter to the family that "we have updated the system we use to measure walking distances," and although it "may seem unusual" to treat the two brothers differently, they're sticking to the decision "in the interests of fairness."

In other words, this 11-year-old is stuck with a 40-minute daily walk to class because the school decided to do the equivalent of switching from Yahoo to Google Maps.

"It is a farce. I think it is absolutely ridiculous. Jon is only 11 and I don't want him walking the streets on his own, especially now the dark nights are coming in," Lawson's dad, John, said.

Tuckered Out Jewel Thief Arrested After Falling Asleep Mid-Robbery

Dion Davis was allegedly robbing a Nokomis, Fla. home—he already had the jewelry all bagged up—when he apparently decided to lie down, just for a second. And then he probably decided, you know, for a second, to close his eyes and then he'd be on his way and...ZZZZZZZ.

A housekeeper apparently found Dion sleeping and called the police to report a burglary. The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office had a hell of a time responding to the call. They posted to their Facebook page afterward:

Talk about falling asleep on the job!!! A cleaning lady called deputies Monday morning when she found Dion Davis inside her client's Nokomis home. He was passed out with a bag full of stolen jewelry next to him on the bed and didn't even notice the deputies taking pictures! ‪#‎FloriDUH‬

According to WTEV, Dion faces charges of burglary to an unoccupied dwelling.

Unlucky Stoner Butt-Dials 911 Before Pot Deal, Is Promptly Arrested

Have pity on Grant O'Connor, a 25-year-old Tennessean who was arrested for pot possession after butt-dialing the cops while allegedly talking about picking some up from his dealer.

O'Connor reportedly made the accidental confession while eating dinner with a friend at Don Pepe's, a Mexican restaurant. From WKRN:

By the time officers arrived, O'Connor and the woman were pulling out of the restaurant parking lot. Police noticed her car had a tag light out and stopped the vehicle.

They found a small bag of marijuana and drug paraphernalia underneath the passenger seat where O'Connor was sitting.

O'Connor was charged with simple drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia, WKRN reports. The friend, who told police she didn't know about the weed, was not arrested.

According to police, O'Connor didn't realize he'd made the call until the arresting officers told him. Poor guy never even saw it coming.

Now this kids life is going to be screwed up for at least the next year, just decriminalize it and tax it already

Sixth Graders Assigned Venn Diagram of Hitler and George W. Bush

A teacher at McKinley Middle School in Washington, D.C. sent their sixth grade students home with an assignment from a "war and peace" section in the curriculum: compare and contrast Adolf Hitler and former U.S. President George W. Bush in a Venn diagram. "Both men abused their powers," the teacher apparently explained.

At least one parent complained, describing the assignment to NBC Washington as having "a certain lack of respect for the office of the president." The school district has since apologized for the assignment, saying that the teacher exhibited "poor judgment." From the school's statement:

This week, a DCPS teacher created a worksheet to assign as homework which asked students to compare and contrast President George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler, after reading two texts. No DCPS curriculum materials suggest in any way that teachers should compare the texts in this manner or compare Hitler to any other individual. One text, "Fighting Hitler – A Holocaust Story" is part of the current suggested materials. The text about President Bush is not suggested as part of the current year's curriculum, but was included last year in a separate unit. The teacher deeply regrets this mistake, and any suggestion to malign the presidency or make any comparison in this egregious way.

This is beyond stupid, the teacher is an idiot for thinking this is something that is relevant to 6th graders

I can understand and see how people can make the comparisons. That doesn't mean it's a right one to do however and certainly not for sixth graders.

The Office of the President doesn't however excuse some of the **** done in the name of "national security" or any other ******** excuse to abuse the law that past and current (and likely future) Presidents claim it gives them the right to.

 

[W/ Great Power]

Really ? The only time I went there ( 10+ years ago ) I drunk Guiness by the liter.

I was slightly exaggerating.

Generally speaking, I was in London last year, and bartenders are far more strict with how much beer they pour you compared to the bars I go to in the U.S.

I usually have beer overflowing from my glass when I receive it at the bars I go to.

In London, they usually filled about 3/4 of the glass. I went to many bars across the city and it was the same.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

If 3/4 of the glass is the standard 25cl it's fair.

Man Sold a Cop a Crushed Up Pop-Tart and Told Him It Was Cocaine

A man who should definitely not be pursuing a criminal career had a rough summer after he not only allegedly tried to sell cocaine to an undercover cop but also tried to rip the cop off by handing him a bag full of crushed-up Pop-Tarts.

Cameron Mitchel was reportedly making deliveries when the undercover cop approached him and asked him for some crack cocaine.

Officers say Mitchel obliged, went to the cab of his truck, crushed up some Pop-Tarts, and demanded $20.

The cop field tested the bag and quickly discovered it wasn't an actual drug deal. But although the officer couldn't smoke Mitchel's sugary rocks, he did have another way to get back at him.

The 30-year-old—who said he sold his breakfast to the undercover cop because he needed the money—has been charged with creating and selling a counterfeit controlled substance.

That's some BS right there, I feel like that's entrapment. If some idiot asked me for some crack and I needed some quick cash and and sold him something harmless I shouldn't be charged with a freaking crime

Armed Protestors Picket Gas Station After Anti-Arab Facebook Hoax

If your husband is seemingly refused service for being a member of the armed forces, should you: ( A) Call that business' corporate office; (B) Contact the local news; or (C) Start an ill-informed, racially-charged crapstorm?

For Michigan's Samantha Loudenslager, the answer to that question was apparently pretty obvious, because on August 29th she shared the following message:

Jason had to report to the army reserves yesterday, on his way home he stopped to get gas, a drink and some jerky. When he went into the gas station and got to the counter the Arabic man looked at Jason, then his uniform and told him "we dont serve gas here"

Mobil gas station off I-75 exit 98 address: 8435 E Holly RD, Holly MI

We will never be a customer of a place like that!

Naturally, the whole thing was the most basic kind of misunderstanding. Nick Ghalib, the Yemen-born manager of the gas station, explained to Michigan Live "he wasn't telling the man he wouldn't sell him any gas, he was informing him that the premium gas he asked for had run out."

The premium gas gets refilled on Fridays, Ghalib said. Being that it was a Thursday, the pumps had unfortunately already run out of premium, he added.

Realizing her complete dumbassery, Loudenslager quickly recanted, apologizing before deleting both her post and her Facebook page, but by then the damage was done. Her story had already been shared thousands of times and its removal was presumed to be the work of shadowy "Arabic man"-sympathizers at Facebook.

As the classic "serviceman refused" legend spread, anti-Arab Internet racists seized the story and turned it into a national social media campaign. By the following week, the Mobil station had received hundreds of angry and threatening calls in addition to online comments like "Burn the place down!!!" and "Bring rifle back, inform Achmed in the US we have anti-discrimination Laws."

The situation finally came to a head last Monday, when demonstrators with guns and American flags protested outside the gas station. Police visited the scene and within 20 minutes the crowd left "without incident," Michigan Live reports.

For his part, Ghalib was shocked by the rumor he discriminated against a customer. "I would never do that to anybody," he told the Grand Blanc View.

Teacher Accidentally Shoots Herself in the Leg Before First Period

A teacher at Westbrook Elementary School in Taylorsville, Utah, accidentally shot herself in the leg this morning while preparing to mold young minds in the teacher's lounge. According to KSL TV, "no students were present when the shot was fired," but the teacher is in "serious condition." She was rushed to a local hospital.

KSL TV reports that she had a concealed weapons permit. The Associated Press notes that in Utah, "teachers and anyone else licensed to carry concealed weapons" can bring guns to public schools.

Granite School District spokesman Ben Horsley wouldn't say who the teacher was or how her gun went off.

Clearly the answer is we need more guns in our schools

California Man Allegedly Killed Ex-Girlfriend's Dog, Fed Him to Her

A man in California was arrested on stalking and animal cruelty charges after allegedly killing his ex-girlfriend's Pomeranian and feeding him to her.

USA Today reports the ex-girlfriend of 34-year-old Ryan Watenpaugh told Redding, California police Watenpaugh assaulted her and took her dog—a Pomeranian named Bear—in August after a fight. The couple reportedly got back together briefly in early September, at which point Watenpaugh cooked his ex a meal.

According to NBC News, police report that the next day "the victim received a text message from Watenpaugh asking how her dog tasted, and referenced the meal he had cooked for her." She then found a pair of severed dog's paws on her doorstep. Police are now reportedly testing the remains. Redding Police Sergeant Todd Cogle spoke to NBC News, saying dogs are innocent, "all they want is affection and love":

"For someone to take advantage of that innocence is obviously sad and depressing."

Watenpaugh, who admits to leaving the severed paws but denies killing and cooking Bear, is being held on a $250,000 bail.
