Real Headlines that are Stranger than Fiction

Posted by A. Abrams

Many people are familiar with the trend of typing in your birthday with the phrase “Florida Man” to see what weird news headline falls on your special day. That state is notorious for having the craziest things happen. But Florida isn’t the only place with wild news. In this world, many outrageous things tend to happen and when they do, someone is usually rushing to cover the event. Journalists and reporters must love when a crazy headline comes their way. It’s probably a nice break from all the serious and sad things that are constantly happening in the world. Below are some of the most ridiculous news headlines the public has ever seen. 

Which of these headlines REALLY caught your attention?

twitter @hofheadlines

When You Need Your Best Friend For Life

This headline is almost sweet if you take away the kidnapping aspect of it. This guy just wanted his dog to live with him forever. The problem with pets is that their life spans aren’t as long as ours. So when you find your perfect companion, you know it won’t last forever. You can kind of understand this guy’s desire to give his dog a longer life. 

twitter @hofheadlines

But kidnapping is obviously not the way to go about this. Also what convinced this man that this scientist would even know how to make his dog immortal? No one knows how to achieve immortality. The real question is what kind of scientist he captured. Did he think he had better chances with a physicist or a veterinarian? Or perhaps he kidnapped a geneticist. 

Lost On The Trail

This headline is just ridiculous. This man clearly deserved to be lost if he didn’t want to answer his phone for a whole day. Was he also ignoring other hikers? If he refused to answer his phone because it was an unfamiliar number, he probably also avoided asking passersby for directions or help. 

twitter @hofheadlines

In everyday life, it’s up to you if you don’t want to answer an unknown number. There’s always a chance that it’s just someone trying to sell you something. But if you’re lost, you would think that the number repeatedly calling you might be someone who could help you. He could’ve always hung up if it wasn’t!

The Drunkest Man On The News

Arrests aren’t rare, but it is unusual for a policeman to have to assist with the mugshot. What’s also funny is the use of the word “allegedly”. It means that the news isn’t totally convinced that this man was actually that drunk. Perhaps he was just milking it so that the police would have to help him. Maybe he thought if he acted like he was blackout drunk, the charges for whatever he did would be lesser. 

twitter @hofheadlines

The most burning question with this arrest is, “why?”. Who cares how drunk he is. What did he do? Was he driving, or did he try to sneak into a bar after getting kicked out? The news really left out some important pieces of information with this one. Being drunk isn’t THAT newsworthy. It happens to almost everyone. 

Wedding Photographer Strike

When you read this headline it makes you root for the photographer. How dare the wedding party deny them food? Weddings usually have an abundance of it! Even if every meal is designated for an attendee, there’s still cake and desserts open to all. And when you work a wedding, you’re there for the better part of a day. You need to eat at some point. 

twitter @hofheadlines

The fact that this photographer just got up and left is completely hilarious. Wedding photos are a big deal. The fact that this couple now has none is quite sad. If only they had been a little more generous. This photographer totally ruined this couple’s wedding memories. But they stood up for what they believed in: their right to food. 

Stating The Obvious

This headline makes you wonder if there was something lost in translation. Maybe the phrase made more sense printed in another language, but in English, the whole idea is very obvious. Submarines belong underwater. To dock them in the sea makes sense. If the journalists were trying to hint at something more sinister, they should’ve used different words. 

twitter @hofheadlines

Perhaps this strange headline doesn’t fit the actual news. Maybe China is using some kind of underwater bunker to do illegal research or hide a new fleet that isn’t registered. But if you were sifting through a newspaper and came across this news, you’d probably laugh and skip right over it. 

Taking Movie Inspiration 

The Pirates of the Caribbean is a great movie. But everyone knows that the movie isn’t meant to inspire you to be a pirate. It’s supposed to provide some good comedy and adventure. Usually, the feel-good movies are the ones that are supposed to encourage you to be more empathic or loving. But this woman was more touched by Captain Jack Sparrow.  

twitter @hofheadlines

This woman took the movie franchise to heart and took a shot at being a pirate herself. It’s anyone’s guess what Johnny Depp thinks of this news headline. He probably has it framed. In the small print, it reads that she took the ferry on an hour-long joyride. It seems like she really got to fulfill her pirate dreams for a minute there. 

The Name Is More Important Than The Crime

Here’s another example of the person being more interesting than the actual crime itself. There’s no information about why this person got arrested. The news is more occupied with the name of the offender. But looking at his name, he should’ve gotten recognition before ever getting into it with the police. With a name like that he could’ve easily appeared on a talk show. 

twitter @hofheadlines

If you were named something like this, you would probably lash out at some point, too. What were his parents thinking? Where did this name inspiration come from? It sounds like they tried to emulate robot sounds. Though robots are being researched, the world isn’t run by them just yet. And even if it was, the machine would probably speak human languages.

An Urgent Arrest

Sometimes criminals are hard to catch. They take the police on car chases or skip town. Occasionally, detectives are hired to follow the case. But arresting someone during their haircut just seems a little bit rude. And this guy wasn’t going through your typical trim and shave, he was having a drastic change.  

twitter @hofheadlines

You know something’s off when the arrest is more interesting than the crime. The news channel seems like it’s just laughing at the incident. How is this even breaking news? Perhaps the arrest was dramatic because of the circumstances. The real question is if the barber got paid for his work or not. Also having the police storm your store can’t be good for business. 

Stating The Obvious

This riveting piece of news is just silly. Is this supposed to be a discussion about provocation? It sounds like the guy who got stabbed saw a knife and then spoke his mind. Why was this detail included in the report? Perhaps the whole incident was so boring that the newscasters were just trying to fill the time. 

twitter @hofheadlines

The layout on the screen is also ridiculous. There’s no other piece of the conversation on there. It honestly seems like this news channel was just trying to kill time. There are much more interesting things they could have been talking about like motive or suspects or warning about location. 

The Guilt Was Too Much

This headline is definitely newsworthy. You can’t keep an incident like this away from the public, it’s just too funny. This guy was probably having a terrible time. Feeling that much remorse over an imaginary friend is intense. Then finding out that this murder was just a figment of your imagination? He definitely needs to be in some supervised facility, but not in jail. 

twitter @hofheadlines

Looking at this mugshot just makes you feel bad for the guy. It looks like he was crying only seconds before. Hopefully he got the help he needed in rehab or a mental institution. The police were probably beside themselves with this case. In general, Floridian cops must have quite eventful days.  

It Sucks To Be Bullied

This headline is shocking. It’s hard to believe that a teenager seduced five different mothers, but the alternative isn’t a comfortable option either. Regardless, the entire situation is crazy. For someone to go this far, even if they’re being relentlessly bullied, is wild.  But if you came across this article, you would definitely scroll down and read it.

twitter @hofheadlines

There’s just so much more to this story that isn’t explained by the headline. And in this case, the details are important. Everyone involved in this story did something wrong. How did any of them move on from this? The whole thing sounds dramatic and traumatic for everyone. 

The Best Excuse

This news headline is almost silly. What are they trying to report on? The fact there was a bomb threat or the fact that there wasn’t? It sounds like this suspect just had a really hard time coming up with a good excuse for his brazen announcement. When people started freaking out he immediately aborted the mission and tried to deescalate the whole thing. 

twitter @hofheadlines

This guy obviously picked the wrong words when explaining that he had to go number two. Situations like this make you reevaluate whether you should even make that announcement in the first place! We can’t even imagine how embarrassed he felt after this story wound up on the news. 

Animals On The Loose

The weirdest things happen in New York City. If you subscribe to the region’s alerts and arrests, you’ll easily find a few strange occurrences a week. This one does not disappoint. Not only did a horse escape the stables, but the steed chose to chase down a celebrity. Horses run pretty fast. We’re surprised that it didn’t catch up to her. 

twitter @hofheadlines

It also looks like Nicki Minaj was wearing a set of stilettos. Unless this horse was injured or partially lame, it should have reached her. Then again, horses are not used to running on asphalt. Though the horse-drawn carriages in Central Park are cute, they aren’t healthy for the animals. The real question is what happened to this poor horse in the end? 

Everything Is Better At Grandma’s

This headline is completely insane. A ten-year-old not only had the audacity to steal his parents’ car, but the bravery to drive it for hours and then the guts to lie about it to the police’s face. This boy needs to see a psychologist. At that age you’re usually able to understand risks and consequences. He must have known that driving when he can barely see the road is dangerous. 

twitter @hofheadlines

Another burning question this headline doesn’t answer is why the kid felt such a need to drive to his grandparent’s house. Was it because he missed the smell of freshly baked cookies, or because something was going on? It’s a wonder this kid didn’t kill himself or someone on the way. 

The Vigilante Justice System

In dire circumstances, many take justice into their own hands. A vigilante doesn’t wait for the police to help, they punish the criminal as they see fit. In Ukraine, it apparently became a trend to saran wrap thieves to street posts. Maybe the police weren’t doing a good job of answering house calls. Or perhaps the homeowners were making sure the thief couldn’t get away when the cops eventually showed up. 

twitter @hofheadlines

It’s a pretty intense thing to do to someone. How they managed to get them still enough to stick them there is anyone’s guess. They also went through the trouble of printing out a sign so passersby would know not to be alarmed. Hopefully whoever got taped to a post got picked up by the police soon after. 

The Downfall Of A Soprano

This headline is just plain embarrassing. It’s embarrassing enough that they got fired because of their flatulence. This headline was probably enough to make the singer want to move to another country. Some things aren’t worth their comedic value. This is someone’s life. Even if they don’t name them in the article, now people know to ask around and their name will be revealed eventually.  

twitter @hofheadlines

Really, this article should be about finding the offending surgeon. That doctor clearly didn’t do their job correctly. Why the singer didn’t immediately go to get the matter fixed is anyone’s guess. Perhaps it is something that they’re going to be stuck with for life. Can you imagine? It sounds like the beginning of a would you rather question. 

An Untimely Death

This whole situation is just sad. It sounds like a crazed suicide. Hopefully there wasn’t anyone around when the man broke into the dorm. That would be such a freaky thing to witness. Even though student housing is always known to have some crazy stories, suicides are the kind of event everyone could do without.  

twitter @hofheadlines

When you’re feeling like at risk of harming yourself, you should seek help. With a proper support system you can battle those feelings. Mental health is no joke and something that’s equally as important as physical health. Nevertheless, we have to wonder why this person chose a college dorm of all places.

The Secret Life Of Geese

The longer you read the headline, the better it gets. It’s just baffling. Apparently, birds aren’t as straightforward as the general public thought. This goose, Thomas, is tearing down boundaries and exceeding expectations left and right. Not only was he blind and functioning in nature, he was also in a relationship with birds outside of his species!

twitter @hofheadlines

It would be interesting to discover what this journalist means by a love triangle. Not being the same bird species might complicate the relationship. Maybe this goose was more like a fun uncle. Labeling him as bisexual is quite a bold choice. Do geese and swans even choose mates for life or show evidence of having a preference for a certain partner?

No Pets Allowed

Unfortunately, not all facilities encourage the accompaniment of pets. It makes perfect sense that a strip club would not appreciate a cat on their grounds. Even service animals might not be allowed in there. Can you imagine an animal running loose in a place like that? The decorations, lights, and alcohol would be overwhelming. This headline just exemplifies the craziness of cat people. 

twitter @hofheadlines

You can just imagine the conversation this man had with the bouncers at the entrance. They probably encouraged him to call 911 on them. They knew that if the police came that they would take care of it. That must’ve been a sight for everyone to see.

An Interesting Diet 

Not only is this an interesting diet choice for the man, but it’s also an interesting life choice for the woman. It’s concerning that she would need to quit her job for this. You can pump breast milk while you’re doing other things, and feeding doesn’t take the whole day. But disregarding the logistics, the idea is still completely wild. 

twitter @hofheadlines

It is true that breast milk has many wonderful properties, but it’s intended for infants. Adults don’t need what breast milk has to offer, they can get it by eating normal foods. But who knows, maybe this guy will live longer than the rest of us because of these weird life choices. Perhaps he’s discovered the elixir of life. 

Immediate Regret

This headline just makes you want to facepalm. It’s not like the system believed this guy had repented or showed remorse, they just thought he wouldn’t be a threat anymore and didn’t want to waste prison space with him. But they were dead wrong. It seems like if you have the willpower, anything is possible, no matter your age. 

twitter @hofheadlines

Whoever made the decision to release this murderer was probably fired after this trial. That’s a pretty grave mistake to make. They obviously didn’t think this through because there are weapons that even the elderly can use. At least he was caught again pretty quickly. Sounds like this man would have become a serial killer if he hadn’t been stopped.

An Unfortunate Mistake

This headline just makes you feel bad for old Alf. You’d think the dog icon on the box or the smell would tip him off, but apparently not. And that’s two years worth of letters in the trash! This poor man was probably wondering why no one was writing him back. Can you imagine the constant disappointment?

twitter @hofheadlines

Someone must have finally seen him place a letter in the dog poo box and walked over to tell him that he was mistaken. The fact that this turned into a news headline is a bit weird. Unless the article was meant to inspire someone to take the guy under their wing, the confusion of an old man isn’t that newsworthy. 

Revenge Of The Puppies

This was either the result of a crazy moment of luck or a very intelligent puppy. This headline makes you want to believe the dogs were purposeful in their actions. No animal murderer should be able to walk free. But how did this whole situation work? Were there guns on the floor or was the man holding a dog that somehow repointed the gun at his face? This headline leaves a lot of questions unanswered. 

twitter @hofheadlines

Also, where did this incident take place? Did this man break into a pet store or did his dog give birth to a litter of puppies? And what was his motive? Why would anyone suddenly go on a rampage against dogs? Hopefully, this man was caught and thoroughly questioned because there’s a lot that’s missing from this headline. 

Too Much Information

Though this headline is definitely newsworthy, it goes on for a little bit too long. Why is the detail of the man in a Snickers bar costume included? It sounds like a detail that’s not even relevant. Though there’s no denying it makes the story sound a lot more interesting. We didn’t even know Snickers bar costumes existed! 

twitter @hofheadlines

The whole ordeal with the costumes just makes the headline beyond bizarre. We can imagine anyone who saw that headline would have to read the rest of the news for more information. We’re guessing this was a costume party, but the unusual costume choices make us wonder if something else was going on.

A Most Interesting Weapon

This TV channel knows how to reel an audience in. After seeing a headline like this, you can’t just change the channel, you need to see the explanation. It’s rare that the motive of a stabbing is less interesting than the weapon used. Hopefully, the next slide after this headshot described exactly how a squirrel could double as a knife. 

twitter @hofheadlines

Just when you think you’ve heard or seen everything, something like this comes up to remind you that the world is full of possibilities. If a woman can use a squirrel as a weapon, anything can happen. There are so many questions left unanswered with this headline. It definitely makes your imagination run wild trying to piece a story together.  

An Expert Con Man

This story reminds you of the most recent Netflix documentary The Tinder Swindler. But this man’s methods were much less dramatic and harmful. The fact that he was able to keep up thirty-five different relationships is astounding. Meaningful connections take time and energy. He must have been going on several dates a night!

twitter @hofheadlines

But giving a bunch of people a different day for your birthday so you get more gifts is hilarious. The real question is if he was buying all these women birthday presents, too. That would make the whole arrangement much less profitable. It’s amazing that the government was able to arrest him. 

Used For His Kidney

This story is so sad. This man went under a serious operation to help his girlfriend’s mother only to be broken up with moments later. Can you imagine watching your ex walk down the aisle with someone else less than a month after your breakup? It must’ve made his recovery from the surgery a whole lot harder. 

twitter @hofheadlines

This selfless act was thrown back into his face. This man probably has some serious trust issues now. This woman’s now-husband must have been in on the whole operation too. It’s crazy that he was okay with it! His wife-to-be was in a relationship with someone else and lying to his face. How could anyone marry someone like that? 

The Invincible Man

This man has been through a lot of crazy experiences. Though this headline makes it seem like all these incidents happened within moments of each other, we’re guessing these things happened over this man’s lifetime. There’s no way a shark, snake, and monkey were all in the same place at the same time during a lightning storm. 

twitter @hofheadlines

However, it’s still insane that all of these things happened to the same man. He must not get along with animals, or he works in a very unsafe zoo. But based on the picture, it looks like he’s going to live to see another day. Despite all that he’s been through, he’s still going strong. It’s amazing how resilient the body can be.

When The Strip Club Calls 

Some would say that this homeless man has his priorities in order. He saw the closest abandoned vehicle and took his chance. The fact that the headline states that he went to a strip club means that he made it. The real question is if they let him in or not. Technically it would’ve been an easy way to get him to stay put while the police made their way over.

twitter @hofheadlines

It’s outrageous acts like these that really keep you on your toes. Just when you think no one would dare, you read something like this. This man’s desire to see strippers eclipsed the knowledge that an EMS rig is needed to save people’s lives. He just took his chance and went for it. 

He Died Doing What He Loved

Hide-n-seek is one of the first games children learn to play. Typically adults don’t partake in this game unless they’re trying to keep the kiddos entertained, but this guy took it as seriously as any sport. We’ve all imagined what would happen if no one came to find us, though we never imagined it could happen in real life. Truly he’s the undisputed champ of the game. 

twitter @hofheadlines

We’re guessing his death was caused by something other than hide-n-seek gone wrong. Still, it’s pretty ironic that this is how he was found. There must’ve been at least one police officer who thought he died while waiting for someone to discover him.

That’s One Crazy Cat

It’s not every day that you hear about a family that was barricaded in their bedroom because of a house cat. A family of three had no choice but to call 911 after their 22-pound Himalayan cat held them hostage. It all began when the cat scratched the family’s seven-month-old baby. Fearful for their well-being the parents decided to lock themselves in their bedroom and call the police.

twitter @hofheadlines

After the incident went viral the family was chosen to be in an episode of My Cat From Hell, where Jackson Galaxy, the host, tried his best to figure out what was wrong with the cat. After a vet examination, it was revealed that the cat is suffering from Feline Hyperesthesia which caused him to have violent outbursts.

There Was Definitely a Line to the Bathroom

Working in an office is a harder job than people might think. It can be incredibly emotionally taxing, the constant smiling and being nice to people you don’t know or worse, don’t like. This is why we often fantasize about what we would do if it was our last day on this job and we could really speak our minds. It’s not uncommon for some people to pull pranks or something unconventional on their last day.

twitter @hofheadlines

Bert Kreischer decided it would be a great idea to poison the entire office by lacing his goodbye cake with laxatives. When you think about it, seeing this happen in movies might be funny to some people, but can you imagine the chaos that was going on in the office? There are so many bathrooms people can occupy at the same time.

Parrot Playing Pranks

You heard of Florida man news articles, but what about Florida parrots? Unlike other police reports coming from that state, this one is kind of wholesome. Police responded to a 911 call where a woman was reportedly screaming for help, when they arrived at the scene they found out that the distressed person wasn’t a person at all but a parrot named Rambo.

twitter @hofheadlines

It turns out that his cries for help were so realistic that one of the neighbors decided to call the police, thinking someone was in danger. After the police arrived the owner introduced them to his feathered friend and they all had a good laugh. They also made sure to introduce the parrot to the neighbor so that they wouldn’t call the cops again. 

Armed While Armless

Being a policeman can be a stressful job at times, but it looks like Americans take it one step further. At some point, you have to just laugh at how absurd some of the situations are. This time we have Sean Petrozzino, a 30-year-old man who lost his legs, hands, and part of his arms to bacterial meningitis several years ago.

twitter @hofheadlines

Police were looking for him because they believe he had something to do with a murder case. What’s crazy about it is that they think that he is not only armed but also dangerous, the amount of irony and puns in this one headline is too much to handle. But it really puts things in perspective, if the cops are afraid of a man with no limbs, he’s got to be one dangerous guy. 

No Drinking While Driving, or Stopping

Laws are made to protect people, but some of them were written in a way that allows for some wiggle room. This man was arrested for driving under the influence, but later when questioned he said that he only drank at stop signs and stop lights, not while driving. Although he is technically correct, the police didn’t see it that way.

twitter @hofheadlines

The hilarious part of this story is that the 69-year-old was continuously bumping into the car in front of him in a McDonald’s drive-through. When police arrived they found an open brown paper bag with a half-empty bottle of Jim Beam in it. Busted! 

The Yahtzee Menace

When we grow old it gets harder and harder to find people to play board games with us. Some people grow out of it while others don’t even have friends to play with. Luckily for us, we have the internet and local game stores, so we don’t need to work hard anymore to find gaming partners. Unfortunately, it would seem that not everyone has heard of these new methods.

twitter @hofheadlines

This man decided that the best way to find a group to play Yahtzee was through kidnapping. A 37-year-old man decided that he was tired of his friends declining his offers to play Yahtzee so he kidnapped 27 random people and forced them to play with him for 36 hours straight.

The Doorknob Licker Strikes Again

Once the pandemic started we became a lot more self-conscious about our hygiene. We started washing our hands more often. We started using sanitizer. And we avoided a lot of physical contact. But this article reminds us of a simpler time, a time when we didn’t have to worry about what would happen if we don’t keep clean.

twitter @hofheadlines

A time when people could go around and lick doorbells without being afraid of dying. If you thought you’ve seen it all then we are here to tell you that you haven’t seen anything yet. This man came up to a random house and decided that the best thing to do would be to lick their doorbell for three hours. We don’t know what the guy was on when he took that doorbell to town but he sure looks happy.

To Catch a Predator…with Chicken Alfredo

The dating world can be harsh sometimes and we need to get creative if we want to attract the right person. Some develop interesting quirks and personalities, some work on their appearance, and some go with what they have. This particular man decided to go a different direction and seduce people with food.

twitter @hofheadlines

What’s wrong with offering food to people so that they like you? Well nothing, unless you are trying to seduce a fifteen-year-old. This guy was chatting with what he thought was a teenage boy while in reality, it was an undercover cop. He planned to bring Sprite and Chicken Alfredo to the date. Needless to say, the only action he got that day was from the investigation room.

No Cats on School Property

Being inclusive has become a crucial part of our social structure, we make sure to accept everyone as they are and make them feel safe. In some cases, we need to alter some rules and change the way we do things, like having gender-inclusive bathrooms. But this is definitely taking it a step too far.

twitter @hofheadlines

The Furry community has always had a certain amount of taboo. A lot of that has to do with the behavior of some fringe members of the group. The reason people might not take them seriously is because of demands like these. Like these kids who decided that the school district put litter boxes in the school bathrooms.  

Intergalactic Romance

We get it, the dating world can be tough. Sometimes you just want to throw in the towel and accept that your soulmate is nowhere on Earth. But could they be somewhere in the galaxy? YouTuber Abbie Bela certainly seems to think so! Claims of alien abductions are nothing new, but the stories usually don’t include a romance. 

twitter @hofheadlines

She explains that she wasn’t afraid of her alien captors, instead she fell in love at first sight. Her extra-terrestrial love interest told her that dating a human wasn’t allowed, but that he’d be willing to change that for her. Sounds like the craziest sci-fi love story we’ve ever heard! 

When Metal Is Life

If you ever feel like you’re too old to do something, just think about these guys. Not only did they sneak out of their nursing home like teenagers with a curfew, they were also caught and escorted back by police. But their escape wasn’t the most impressive part of this story. 

usatoday

While they were at the concert, police were searching for them. Not only did they find out where they were going, but they also managed to find them in a crowd of metalheads. Can you imagine how hard it would be to find one person at a giant metal concert? We have no idea how they managed to do it, but these guys deserve a promotion.

Polly Wants Your Wallet

This headline broaches an issue that people should be aware of. Keeping such a funny incident from others is a crime in and of itself. The person was probably having the worst day ever. If you get robbed at least you can chase the person down or hope the police will get him eventually. But if a bird flies away with your money there’s not much you can do.

imgur

Unless you have a flying machine conveniently placed in your back pocket like Inspector Gadget. Let’s hope they managed to catch the bird somehow and get the person his money back. After all, 700 pounds is a lot of money to lose.

When The Craving Is Too Strong

This headline is beyond shocking. It’s hard to believe someone would go as far as selling a toddler for some McDonald’s. The worst part about this is that this guy looks like someone who would do that. Going this far is wrong on so many levels. We have to question how someone ends up in a situation like this. 

runt-of-the-web

This headline just doesn’t give us enough information. Like, whose baby was it and how did the cops find out about this? We know he didn’t steal the child because god knows no parent would allow this man anywhere near their children. Not to mention he doesn’t look like the stealthy kind to sneak up and run away with a kid.

Talk About Shifting The Blame

This headline almost made us burst into laughter. Did he really think that blaming the detective would accomplish anything? It looks like this guy was trying to grasp at straws here. Everybody knows there’s not much you can do once you’ve been convicted of murder. The best thing he can hope for at this point is a reduced sentence for good behavior.

bestlifeonline

It would be interesting if we later found out he was falsely convicted and was actually telling the truth. Although, if the newspaper describes you as a murderer, you’re fate is already set in stone. What’s next? He’s going to accuse the local news of soiling his “good” name?

Didn’t Give In To Peer Pressure

This headline is one of the crazier ones we’ve seen so far. These guys not only had the courage and strength to catch and subdue an alligator. But they also managed to somehow make him drink beer. Clearly, something’s wrong with these guys if they think that’s how you’re supposed to treat animals.

filmdaily

Although we do have a few burning questions that come from this headline. The biggest one is who called the police? Clearly, the alligator didn’t so there must’ve been a bystander. Another question is what sort of punishment do you get for doing something like that? These aren’t exactly endangered species, though we’re sure it falls under some kind of animal cruelty law. 

Worst Place To Be If You’re Afraid of Spiders

We all know Australia isn’t the place for the faint of heart. You have to be aware of dangerous animals on land and sea. Aside from spiders and snakes, you also have crocodiles, jellyfish, and octopi. If you’re afraid of spiders this isn’t the country for you. It’s like joining a circus when you know you’re afraid of clowns. 

buzzfeed

The funniest thing about this headline is the fact that the struggle between man and spider lasted so long that the cops were eventually called. If there’s any lesson to be taken from this whole story, it’s probably to not yell “die” when you’re trying to kill a spider.

It’s About Damn Time

We’re so glad someone is finally taking matters into their own hands. We grew tired of all these rugrats and gremlins running around with no supervision, bumping into us and ruining our perfectly peaceful moments with their tantrums. If anything we’re surprised it took people so long to finally pass the legislation.

ifunny

It would be interesting to see how effective this law would be. No doubt parents would be pissed and confront everybody who trips their kid. But maybe it’s worth it? Kids are fast learners and if they get tripped once, next time they’ll be careful around adults. Maybe it’s the next step in educating future generations.

No Money For Donuts

This headline makes you want to bury your face in your hands. You know it’s a slow day at the police station when people get parking tickets over nothing. Not to mention the audacity this officer had to write such a ridiculous ticket. How do you even defend such a ticket in court? we’re pretty sure there’s no law against your shadow.

We can’t say for sure but whoever wrote that ticket probably got scolded afterward. They obviously didn’t think this through because such a thing just gives the police a bad reputation. And if there’s one thing they don’t need any more of it’s a bad reputation. Let’s hope this dad didn’t end up paying the fine.

A Big Serving Of Raspberry Pie

As much as people dislike police officers. We can’t help but feel sorry for them from time to time. Especially this headline, it reminds us of all the weirdos they have to deal with daily. If someone did this to us we probably wouldn’t react as well as this policeman. We certainly know some people who would freak out and even cry in this situation.

We can’t help but wonder if the guy was intending to cut the cheese on the officer all along. Maybe the robbery attempt was just a cover-up just so he could get his butt in a cop’s face. Hopefully, this joker learned his lesson and won’t try anything like this in the future.

Never Mess With a Mamma Bear

We all know there’s nothing stronger than a mother’s love for her children. It’s sad that bullying in schools goes unpunished, to a point where parents have to intervene and do the teacher’s job. We think parents should be allowed to intervene in these kinds of situations if the school refuses to do anything about it.

We’re assuming this was the mother in question, and she looks like she was ready to be on the front page. Cute pink shirt, hair done, and posing in front of the camera. She knew what she was doing. Honestly, we can’t be mad at her, especially since we would probably do the same thing.
