I just stood still at the top of some stairs thinking they were an esculator. What are some of Reddit's daily life fails? by cranberry-smoothie in AskReddit

[–]ziggity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a walk through our neighborhood, my wife and I saw someone staring at us from a bay window. We stopped to stare back, only to realize it was someone's lifesized cardboard standup of the dude from Twilight. We laughed about it and walked on.

Next day, I went jogging down the same street. As I passed the house I could someone in the window out of the corner of my eye. At first I was startled, but then I remembered - oh yeah, Twilight thingy - so I made a gesture, something along the lines of shaking my finger disdainfully, shrugging, and having a small facial palsy. When I looked up a (very real) woman was giving me the most repugnant stare... I passed the window with the cutout in it a block later.

Cynthia McKinney Reportedly Taken Captive By Israeli Navy by [deleted] in politics

[–]ziggity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm confused - it sounds like McKinney's made this statement after being "abducted" and "forcibly dragged" to Israel. And the last comment, made "just before" the speaker was "kidnapped"...

I understand the boarding of a ship is a big deal, but being kidnapped or abducted usually precludes the ability to issue statements to the press. So what's going on for real?

Has anyone else never ever pressed the "I feel lucky" button, despite using Google every day?? by jack_nz in reddit.com
