Man ends up with £1 million traffic fine

A man in Brazil has pushed his luck waaaaaaay too far, theres no doubt about it. After 7 years of getting tickets he knew nothing about (more on that later), he has ended up with an almight $1.9 million in traffic fines.
He got them by mostly driving like an idiot (well, duh) – speeding, running [...]

Step away from the hotdog!

Terror, panic, indeed, the entire nation’s safety was at risk when officials at a baseball game in Philadelphia discovered a package wrapped in duct tape which they couldn’t explain. So what they did was call in the bomb squad.
After they evacuated the entire stadium, the bomb squad got to work doing what they do best, [...]

And I’ll have those back too!

Usually if you don’t pay a bill, whatever it was for is liable to be repossessed. Dont pay your mortgage, your house gets taken. Miss a few car loan payments, bang, there goes your car. If its a credit card they simply go into your house, look at what you have, halve its real value [...]

Booking error

Remember the story a while back about a family who ended up in the wrong country after boarding the wrong plane? Well, I think this story trumps it, just about.
A woman from Argentina ended up in Sydney, Nova Scotia, instead of Sydney, Australia after she booked a ticket without checking to see where it was [...]

Worst intersection ever?

This is a video of a road intersection in New Zealand, which quite obviously is crying out for two things: traffic lights and people who aren’t insane drivers.

What makes this so funny is that half the accidents are caused by people who quite obviously need Visual Correction – especially the last one, who after completing [...]

Live on the edge

Ah, now this is a story pointing out that idiocy can be found everywhere. A couple who decided on having sex on railway tracks in South Africa ended up dead after they got crushed to death by a moving train. Hows that for extreme sex, eh?
They ignored the shouts of the driver as he moved [...]

Registration plate goes for £400,000

Personalised reg plates are the plaything of the rich and pretentious as we all know, simply making it easier for everyone to realise you’re an idiot even before you decide to overtake on a narrow blind bend in the pouring rain at twice the speed limit.
However, some of them do fetch a nice amount of [...]

How to fail, Part 2

Here we are again, with more examples of how to make a complete and utter arse of yourself by failing miserably. Beware, these videos may well contain some images likely to make you cringe or perhaps even throw up – its the game we play…

Here is why, if you’re a skateboarder, you should NOT, and [...]

Wrong house, morons

I hate councils. They seem to be mostly staffed by utter idiots who would find it difficult to tie their own shoelaces together, and find excuses whenever possible to charge more each year for offering less actual services to you as an unfortunate resident of their area.
Which is why this story in the news recently [...]

How to fail, part 1

The art of how to fail is a subtle one to master. It can take years of hard work, immense effort and a dedication to the cause that would make your average Buddhist monk in a monastery atop a mountain look like a quitter. Or it can just take a car full of golf balls:

How [...]

About

Someone once asked me what this site was about. I told them to shut up unless they had something useful to say. Do you want this person to be you? Didn't think so. Stop worrying and just enjoy.
