I really hate it when that happens.

"Stop, in the name of the law!"


A security guard, suspected of impersonating an officer and pulling people over for traffic offenses, is followed by Orange County deputies hoping to see him doing this. The guard tries to pull one of them over.

See now. If a hurricane ever washed Flori-Duh off the map, we would miss out on so many stories of stupidity.

Wormie, can you and Brian move so we can just nuke the state? I see no point in continuing the population growth down there after reading this:

Don't go there, Pippa, there's been a similar but much worse case in NY State.

landscapers fight with lawn trimmer and baseball bat; scuffle broken up by guy with hammer

Wouldn't it have been easier to do rock, paper, scissors?

Re We need a sub-forum: Stupid Stories about Stupid People in Florida

In the 'Who could have seen this coming?!' dept:

Still some sngas in voting process

Because this time, undertrained election workers forgot to record the votes onto the cartridges.

I think we should send Florida a bunch of plastic counters, sort of like poker chips. You could give out red ones for one party, blue for the other, and then voters could place the counters in the appropriate box. I can't think how you could mess that up. I'm sure that if it can be done, though, it'll be done in Florida.

You're assuming Floridians know their colors. I think that's being awfully generous.

Yes, it's a snake story. Yes, it happened in Florida.

Snake on a shin

True. Maybe we need a seperate thread just for snakes?

Re We need a sub-forum: Stupid Stories about Stupid People in Florida

maybe the Florida Alligator thread needs to be a general Florida animal thread.

Now the story about the sister who (on her 13 year olds brother apprehension after trying to steal his 5th car) said "he's a good kid. He just has a problem with stealing cars" belongs here.

Re We need a sub-forum: Stupid Stories about Stupid People in Florida

I liked the one yesterday when the guy threw his smouldering laptop into the backseat of his car. Because, he said, he wanted to get it away from himself. I lost the link, but the story ends with the car going up in flames. It occurred to me that perhaps a better choice would have been to toss the laptop out the window onto the grass median strip.

Re We need a sub-forum: Stupid Stories about Stupid People in Florida

Sara, life could always be worse. You could have raccoons in the attic!

Quote:
LARGO, Fla. (AP) - Stephanie King had to tell her music teacher that a raccoon was to blame for her missing homework. "I explained that the raccoon fell from the ceiling in my bathroom and it ran into my bedroom," the 13-year-old seventh grader at Osceola Middle School told the St. Petersburg Times.
