Are people doing stupid things in YOUR city like they are here?

Question

Okay, I'm a northern girl who moved to Central Florida in 06'. Since then I have seen the dumbest things done by the well, not so intelligent individuals out there! I live in the Orlando, FL area and I constantly get approaced by creepy old men looking for a hand out, desperate men wanting to 'just fill up the ole car' so they can "get the wife to the hospital" while wanting "cash only" (uh huh....yeah) and the latest thing, stupid people wiping out half of our banks drive-thru lanes in order to steal the ENTIRE ATM MACHINE!!! So please tell me, do these people live in your city too?? Or are we just so lucky here in Central Florida? :)

Answer 1

No such drama here in Seattle, thank goodness!

Answer 2

Different tune, but same type of idiots here....lol

Answer 3

Yep recently a guy attempted to hold up an old man leaving the library

Items have disappeared from neighbors yards

House in my neighborhood was broken into

Several people each week get robbed in the early morning hours in the downtown area.

Last week several cars in a fairly nice neighborhood were broken into.

Answer 4

They are everywhere. And some of the panhandlers make a pretty good living.  The way they eventually getted tripped up is when authorities realize that these folks take in hundreds a day (in some cases) and never report that income to the IRS.

And the morons who try to steal ATM machines are out West too. They get tripped up by forgetting that every one of those machines has a video tape recorder connected to it.

Most criminals are criminals because they are stupid. From the ones who rob a bank and are found waiting for a public transit bus while holding an exploded bag with their faces covered in purple or red dye all the way to the idiot hitchhiker  I once gave a ride to who tried to hold me up at knife point while completely ignoring the .38 caliber revolver in the holster on my right hip. I got him out of my car before he could relieve himself on the leather seats.

Answer 5

People Do Stupid Things Everywhere, It's Nature. Like Cows And Horse Poo. This Has Always been the case.

Answer 6

Yeah, there are perverts here in Colorado too. Especially in Down Town Denver. Oh my, they are everywhere.

Answer 7

Sure.

Why not?

Like being an oil producing country.

Wanting to be global player in the oil and gas industry and oil field equipments

Without expertise, goods and services.

Just with two empty hands and two balls.

As production and maintenance operators..

Having to pay 10.80 per gallon on fuel for own consumption

While children were living in misery with rising cost on everthing in life.

With 30% equity rights off on non-existence rights on tribe of original descendant.

Balance 70% with equal sharing in GLC.

In short-changing, conning and deceiving own children with cheap-skate glory of success in idol worshiping the dead Mummy of failures and horrors of the past as success in the oil and gas industry.

While paying for it up to their neck in hock.

With their self lack of knowledge.

While Humpty Dumpty sitting on the high wall.

Luke 9.25,55-56,60

What do you think?

Answer 8

Same thing here in southern California. Times are rough for many people........
