Well, here we are again at the end of yet another workweek — and one that’s been packed with Pi Day, the Ides of March, and now St. Patrick’s Day — and no shortage of missteps, accidental and deliberate —just look at what happened to these guys and gals…
First, some odds and ends…
Well, this is one way to make some money off the SVB debacle…
In Lewiston, Idaho…now THAT’S a golf hazard…
Important tax tips from the IRS…for criminals…
For those of you tired of reading about scurrilous 401(k) lawsuits, consider that in Mt. Prospect, Illinois, one Aimen Halim has filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court of Northern Illinois against Buffalo Wild Wings and Inspire Brands Inc., an Atlanta-based company who the complaint says “is responsible for the composition, preparation, advertising, marketing and sale of” Buffalo Wild Wings’ product. Aimen’s complaint? That the restaurant chain falsely advertises its boneless wings as the real deal…while he claims that they’re really just chicken nuggets…but the classic is the tweeted response of Buffalo Wild Wings…
One more generational communication minefield: Younger people tend to think a short message means someone is “being short” with them.
And now for the main “events”:
In St. Petersburg, Florida, Karleen Biswanger, 39, had a confrontation with her unnamed 68-year-old boyfriend…during which it escalated to a felony battery charge for Karleen… but you’ll never guess what she did to “earn” that…
In East Memphis, Tennessee, an unnamed 22-year-old pulled into his parents’ driveway in his 2006 Honda Element…at which point he was confronted by a would-be carjacker…”would-be” because while they got into the Element, and forced out the 22-year-old victim…they didn’t get very far…
In Hill, New Hampshire, John Carter, 36, was spotted doing 82 mph in a 50 mph zone…in his 1985 Chevy K10 pickup… but then he “stopped in the roadway in front of the trooper, did a ‘burnout’ across the width of the roadway and the accelerated away…”…set upon a chase through multiple roads through Hill…only to end at…
In Glasgow, Scotland, an unnamed 45-year-old in need of funds…held up a young man at knifepoint…only to discover…
And finally, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Charles Bullock, 31, was engaged in trying to saw off the catalytic converter from someone else’s truck….someone else who didn’t take kindly to Charles’ attempt to separate his catalytic converter from his truck…and, ostensibly in self-defense, he showed that displeasure in a very physical way…and yes, we have a picture…
Have a GREAT weekend, folks! And a great St. Patty’s Day….
