One-Year Gun Plans, Kangaroo Fights, and the Worst Heist Follow-Up—Idiocy in Peak Form
Manage episode 491689118 series 3650372
This week on Idiot of the Week, we dive headfirst into the latest collection of deeply regrettable life choices.
First up, a judge determined that a man posed a significant danger to himself and others if allowed to own firearms. So, naturally, he agreed to give up his extensive arsenal… for one whole year. Because nothing says “long-term safety solution” like treating gun access like a Costco membership renewal.
Meanwhile, a New Jersey Transit worker got bold and swiped over $700,000 worth of Transit Authority cell phones before reselling them. Honestly, if he’d applied that level of effort to literally any other career, he'd probably be thriving right now.
Then, proving that kangaroos are not to be trifled with, a man died from blunt force injuries after a suspected fight with one at a petting zoo. And when the words "kangaroo fight" and "petting zoo" collide in a single sentence, you know something has gone spectacularly wrong.
And finally, a woman attempted to rob a Dollar General but left behind the ultimate breadcrumb: her phone. Then, as police were actively investigating, she came back to the scene to retrieve it. Which is exactly what not to do, according to every handbook on criminal strategy that has ever existed.
Who will take home this week's prestigious Idiot of the Week crown? Tune in for all the misjudgments, all the mockery, and all the growing concerns about humanity’s collective decision-making skills.
