More robbers than you’d think have made the mistake of filling out an application at a place they’ve held up, and plenty of them have written holdup notes on papers that have their names and addresses on them. But then there’s Troy F. Mitchell, who pulled off the rare feat of doing both in the …

Shadae Scott stabbed her boyfriend Kevin Wiggins multiple times with a pink pocket knife because she was upset that his dog had eaten her marijuana, or at least that’s what police and Wiggins would like you to believe.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! You Got Disabled People In My Disability Court!

The story is a few months old and the issue has supposedly been fixed, but it’s worth a mention anyway just because it’s one of those things that happened. Plus the UK tag needs some love, and what says UK tag more than holding disability claim hearings on the 4th floor of a building, then …

Before You Leave, Make Sure You Flush, I Know You Shouldn’t Be Here, But Don’t Be In A Rush

This is why your mom always told you to flush the toilet when you were done.

The geniuses at Deadspin have struck some serious gold with this one. They’ve started a feature called We Regret The Error, which compiles mistakes and the subsequent apologies that air on local newscasts.

I Need A Helper To Assist Me With Understanding Homestead Taxi’s No Blind People Policy

Thankfully, beyond the odd one trying to rip me off now and then, I’ve never really had a problem with a cab company. Poor Carin has had a few minor scrapes, but I think those are mostly attributable to her having a dog. Right or wrong (it’s unquestionably wrong), I understand reactions like “aaaaaaaaaahhhhh, I’m …
