That title is awful. I know. It’s the best I had. Sometimes the perfect selfie is the one you don’t take. The one with you and the speeding train that’s headed right for you, for instance. The 21-second-long video was shared thousands of times on Facebook on Wednesday. In it, Mr Siva is seen standing …

Run From The Early Shift
It makes sense that most of the restaurant food fights we see are worker vs. customer, but it is kind of surprising that with all that perfectly good weaponry just hanging around that we don’t see more worker on worker disagreements end that way. But here’s one. Spartanburg cops were called to a Taco Bell …
Get The Door. It’s A Robbery! Get The Door. It’s A Robbery!
Now here’s something you don’t see every day. An unintentional simultaneous robbery. The clip, shot inside the takeaway restaurant in Rotterdam, Netherlands, shows employees winding down to close the shop after a long day when an armed man bursts through the door. Demanding a lone worker return to the office and retrieve cash, he clearly …

Dear People Who Put Newscasts Together:
Can you do us a favour and not play audio related to somebody famous before telling us why? I can’t pinpoint exactly when it happened, but that’s kind of become the signal that the person has died. CBC World Report started playing Never Surrender this morning and for a good five seconds I was certain …
Not Everything That Sounds Like A Slur Is A Slur, Trigger Happy People Of Rochester
https://www.facebook.com/alan.majors/videos/10212107639637618/ The audio isn’t great here, but what you’re listening to is a guy getting himself fired and thrown under the bus by his employer for what I personally feel is not a very good reason. A television meteorologist is out of a job one day after Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren and City Council President Loretta …
Hope I Can cut This Lock Before They Lock Me Up
You know, I could really use a new bike. But man, they sure are pricey. Maybe I’d be better off stealing one. Like that one over there by the police station. It looks nice. https://www.facebook.com/GladstonePoliceDepartment/videos/2139232539724771/ A man was arrested last week after allegedly trying to steal a bicycle from in front of the Gladstone Police …

Bell’s Everything Tracking Is Back And Very Slightly Less Creepy
It appears Bell is taking another crack at the tracking every customer’s every move thing that went so well a few years ago. And though the end result still sounds like a whole lot of garbage from a consumer point of view (there’s still nothing in it for customers aside from ads the company thinks …

Save Money, Deliver Yourself To The Police Station
These stories almost aren’t weird anymore, but since I’m not sure we’re quite there yet… After police confronted him because it seemed an awful lot like he was about to leave a Walmart without paying for $125 worth of stuff that he had stashed in a backpack, 24-year-old Jeremy Roberts proved them right, taking off …

Thanks For The Ride. What Did You Say You Did For A Living? Uh-oh…
For all of the careful planning that can sometimes go into them, prison escapes themselves are necessarily a pretty rushed act. So although you almost can’t fault Allen Lewis for the way his turned out, he’s still worth pointing and laughing at because come on, man. Allen Lewis, 31, had run away when being moved …

Nice To Meet You, Bigfoot. I’m Smallbrain
Some doubts have been raised about whether or not this story is true even though two separate people have reported similar experiences, but to my ear it sounds completely believable. It’s equally believable that somebody would make it up for a few minutes of media fame, but for now let’s go with it. A Montana …
