Sounds like fake news.
Probably in the car the whole time.
Probably thought about making up the story on the drive home as a prank.

Yes, you have to preface these stories by saying “If true”.

I am surprised it wasn’t eaten by one of the demonized groups in the USA.

Less WTF than the previous post but I was surprised by the renaissance of photo booths with young people.

My girls love to do photo booths with their friends. It’s fun, and they each get a keepsake.

This is a frequent occurrence in SoCal. Not close to me, but I did experience a delay while driving home one night while jackholes commandeered the freeway.

This story has been making the rounds in the City.

If you want to see what HR over-reach looks like…this is a perfect example.

The employment tribunal judge in London completely exonerated the UK-based Canadian employee.

That Canadian HR drone should have been seriously reprimanded for her behavior.

Can’t help but think that his divorce is due to him spending too much time with his “daughter”.

“There is no suggestion that he attempted to gain an advantage by using the corporate card,” Judge Davidson added.

Further, by using the corporate card, he completely gave up the double miles he would’ve earned on his personal card, so he’s clearly not an actuary.

There is a few minutes of body cam footage available, but the picture tells the story.

Footage shows deputies coming with sirens going through traffic as it apparently was an emergency.

Sounds like one of those fake-nice guys who get all mad when girls don’t just fall at him just for being “nice.” Getting her number off an AIDS-walk list would’ve been less creepy.

An airline passenger is claiming that her private information was compromised after being seen by a stranger.

A woman named Kirsten took to TikTok where she said that she received a text message from someone while she was waiting for a fight.

“I’m at the airport and the creepiest thing just happened to me,” she said in her video.

The video shows her walking through the airport talking about the text that might have been sent moments before. She then proceeds to read what the message said.

“Hi Kristen, My name is Nate. I saw you and thought you were so beautiful so I had to find a way to talk to you. I saw your number on your luggage tag and decided to text you. I promise this isn’t as weird as it seems! Give a guy a chance,” the message said, according to the video.

She first corrected the stranger, noting that her name is “Kirsten,” not “Kristen.”

She then went on to say that if the stranger, Nate, wanted to talk to her so badly he should’ve approached her “like a normal human being.”

Kirsten called the moment an “invasion of privacy.”

“And I’m extra weirded out because I have my address on my luggage tag so he could potentially know where I live now,” Kirsten added.

She finished her video with her own safety announcement for people who are traveling.

Case, who said she works for American Airlines, recommends travelers turn over the insert within the tag, so that it is available when needed and their personal information is not on display for anyone to see.

“I don’t even like strangers to know my name — no chance am I going to have my phone number and home address on display,” Case captioned her video.

Other social media users shared their own personal hacks to avoid their private information getting into the wrong hands.

One social media user said that instead of using their home address, they write their work address on their tag and another person said they write the address of their trip destination, not their home.

“I’ve set up a dedicated email address instead,” another user wrote.

The company security.org advises people to secure their "travel itineraries, passports, car rental documents, airline tickets and boarding passes" when traveling.

“These documents contain confidential information that you won’t want a stranger stumbling across. For your safety, scan a copy of your passport and keep that in a secure place,” the website says.

“Keep your passport locked in a safe area along with your mobile devices. Do not leave it in plain sight. If you bring it along with you (and choose not to leave it behind in a hotel for example), make sure that it is close to your body as you would with your devices and wallet.”
