I’m kicking off this list with quite a banger. Not only did this guy manage to scam the airport once, but he managed to continue this charade for over a year! Even after they told him to stop, he still managed to make money by getting a refund for the ticket.
I wonder what made them figure out the truth in the end. Perhaps one of the restaurant workers recognized him, or maybe he made a blunder that gave away his secret. Either way, he must’ve cost the airport a pretty penny, and I’m sure that they feel mad about it now!

It’s like a secret society, where the membership fee is a lifetime of navigating microaggressions and systemic racism. From avoiding eye contact with the police to knowing when it’s time to code switch, these unspoken guidelines are a necessary survival manual for living life as a person of color in America. So grab a seat, buckle up, and prepare to learn all about the unwritten rules POC follow every day.
Racial profiling happens in almost every situation, from shopping to police encounters. Statistics show that POC, especially Black individuals, are much more likely to be pulled over, searched, and subjected to police brutality. This is a serious issue, highlighting the ongoing racial profiling problems in all aspects of our society.
It’s important to know our rights when dealing with the police and to stay calm in any encounter.

However, unfortunately, not all friendships last forever. Sometimes, people drift apart because they move away or live different lives. But, in other relationships, there are bigger reasons for the breakup. In some cases, the ends of these friendships can be as dramatic as a married couple divorcing! Here are some of the most shocking reasons different friends have broken up. What was the craziest reason you have broken up with a friend?
There are some people out there who lie for absolutely no reason whatsoever, and they are known as compulsive liars. This friend appears to be one of those people – why did he pretend he would feed the fish if he never had any intention of actually doing so in the first place?!

Read on to see just how satisfying it can be when somebody gets exactly what’s coming to them.
Getting stuck in traffic on the freeway is very obnoxious; I don’t think I could live in one of those cities where there’s terrible traffic all the time, like Los Angeles. There is little that is more frustrating than creeping ahead a couple of feet at a time for what feels like hours, knowing that you’ve still got 3 miles until the next exit.
As frustrating as it is, though, breaking traffic laws is basically always going to be the wrong response. For one thing, if a cop sees you, you’re going to be in trouble—and if the traffic is caused by an accident, you can assume there are a lot of cops around. For another thing, you might learn the hard way that the shoulder is really not designed to have cars driving on it, like the person in this story.

His flaming red hair would be complemented by bright, sparkling eyes that radiate curiosity and wonder. Overall, a real-life Peter Pan would exude an infectious enthusiasm for life, embodying the enduring spirit of youth and adventure.

]]>Every group has got one: that cousin who the family doesn’t really talk about. Well, in America, that cousin that we don’t talk about is called Florida. If you’re from America, you know what I’m talking about. If you’re not, let me explain it like this: we are so used to seeing weird headlines coming out of Florida that we barely even bat an eye when we hear that a man has thrown an alligator through the drive-through window at Wendy’s. We just shrug and say, “Well, that’s Florida!” Want to see what we’re talking about? We’ve gathered memes, tweets, and stories from all over the web to celebrate the glorious weirdness that is Florida. Marvel, wonder, and facepalm your way through this selection of the worst—or is it best?—of what Florida has to offer.
If you’re not from around the US, or if you missed that Florida Man name that got big a while ago, you might be wondering what we’re talking about here. What is the deal, you may be asking, with Florida? To be honest, the rest of us aren’t really sure. Alcohol? Drugs? A culture that does not prioritize self-restraint?
Whatever the reason, there always seem to be weird things happening in Florida, to the point the rest of the US barely even reacts to the latest weirdness. For example: if a city mayor in most places in the US had this as a profile picture, people would be shocked. In Florida, people just shrug and move on.
