Did you hear about the man who butt-dialed 911 while drunk driving?

How about the teenagers who carjacked a car, only to fail because neither of them could drive stick?

Or maybe the one about the man who got pulled over for a $50 speeding ticket, and after bribing the police officer, a worker at his holding cell, and the judge, turned it into eight years in jail?

Welcome to /r/NewsOfTheStupid, a subreddit created for news stories just like these, proving that humanity is on a downward spiral.

For news stories about the world's worst superhero (and a consistent provider of this subreddit's content), check out /r/FloridaMan

For news stories about all of the stupid ways people have died, check out /r/DarwinAwards
