Frustration of the Day: Woman Tries Parking Her Car, Fails Miserably


Warning: This video might cause you to punch your computer screen.

Someone recently captured an epic parking fail on video with their dashcam, and it’s pretty hard to watch.

The video goes on for about 3 minutes while a woman in a small blue car goes absolutely nowhere fast.

And if that isn’t enough the drive you insane, the music does a pretty good job of that as well.

“Would have offered to park it for her, but I was too busy laughing,” writes the uploader in the comments.

While it’s certainly frustrating to watch, it’s nowhere near as bad as the guy who crashed into every car around him at a Piggly Wiggly earlier this year.

Boston Marathon Runner and Dad Takes Issue With Zero-Tolerance Attendance Policy


school vacation news Boston Marathon Runner and Dad Takes Issue With Zero-Tolerance Attendance Policy

Boston Marathon runner, Mike Rossi, took his two third-graders out of school to go with him and his wife on a family vacation. The girls missed three days of school during a trip that included watching their father run the Boston Marathon and touring historical sites in Boston. In return they received a form letter from their school saying that the days they missed would be counted as unexcused absences. Rossi's written response to the school supporting his children's educational experience on the trip has gotten a lot of media attention.  

Rossi does not deny that this is the policy of the school. Concerning his response to the schools letter, Rossi said this to Philadelphia Magazine:

"These rules should be in place for parents who aren't involved and who, in some cases, don't even know their kids are absent. This is not for responsible parents trying to teach their kids the right things and teach them about the world outside the classroom."

Troll of the Day: Ankara Mayor Removes Controversial Robot Statue, Installs T-Rex


The mayor of Ankara, Melih Gökçek, caused an uproar in April after installing a giant, Transformer-like robot named “Otorobot” in the city.

He was being sued by the Turkish Union of Engineers and Architects for “wasting” taxpayer dollars on the statue, which he claimed was to promote a new theme park called AnkaPark.

Well all the robot-haters have won the battle… but not the war.

The robot was finally removed this week, and it was replaced with a giant, menacing Tyrannosaurus Rex.

It’s 3 meters high and 10 meters long, according to Today’s Zaman.

The mayor stated that he would be replacing the robot with a dinosaur back on April 16, and he asked people on Twitter to vote on which one it should be. According to Hurriyet Daily News, #7 won the poll, which appears to be an Apatosauarus/Brontosaurus(?). But for some reason they ultimately went with the T-Rex.

This story just keeps gets weirder. What’s next, a giant alien or zombie?

Hooligans in Hamburg, Germany managed to sneak into a train depot and decommission a vehicle by barricading one of its doors with bricks and sealing it with expanding foam. Stupid and funny as it may be, the damages are in the thousands of dollars.
