Surprised to see me posting here eh? Well it’s cause I can’t log into bloody Multiply! Seems like they’re ‘temporarily unavailable as they perform some site maintenance’. Bah! Temporary my foot. It’s been unavailable for the whole day already. But don’t get me wrong, Multiply is actually a very superb site to blog in. And I think it would be appropriate to promote my Multiply site now since I’m writing about it. Muahaha! <—— Go ahead and click on it yea ;p

Anyway, I read some stupid stories about ordinary people doing stupid things. Erm, correction, the stories aren’t stupid, but the people are, at that particular moment (cause I assume they are not stupid all the time). Take for instance this lady who mistook a gun for a lighter. She actually pulled the trigger when she wanted to light up her cigarette. The bullet travelled up her hand and embedded itself there. What I don’t understand is, how can a person be so stupid as to mistake a gun as a lighter? Sure, lighter-makers have been very creative these days. We see lighters that take the forms of different things such as mobile phones and even pens. But when in doubt, any sane human being would obviously conduct some test to see whether it is a real lighter or not. ESPECIALLY when the said lighter doesn’t belong to you! I dunno bout you guys but if I pick up a lighter thingy which looks suspiciously like a gun, I wouldn’t be using it to light up my cig without any hesitation. Not that I smoke of course. I’m very against smoking as a matter of fact. What smokers don’t realise is that they are slowly killing the people around them everytime they light up. Second hand smoke is at any time deadlier than first hand smoke! Try to get it into your head the next time you decide to puff on your cigarette you bloody inconsiderate moronic freak! Whooh.. now back to what I was saying..

Here’s another story, but it’s not about the stupidity of people though. It’s more of a story that will leave you wondering why things like these can happen to people. Don’t it all just happen in movies? You see, there was this 92 year old woman who lives on her own in a supposedly ‘drug zone’. Obviously a lot of addicts and bad eggs would be loitering about in the area. And being a frail old woman, the wisest thing to do would be to avoid them as hard as possible. This woman was afraid even to open the door to strangers. So when 3 armed men burst into her house one day, she took her pistol and started shooting at them. Unfortunately, there were more of those men. They came in and shot the poor old lady. Turns out that those people are policemen who were reacting on a tip off given by an informer. According to the informer, he bought drugs from that house. Later on, the informer was found to be lying. No drugs were found in the old women’s house at all. All I have to say is, what an unexpected twist of events…

Last but not least, there was this woman who who accidentally dialled 911 when she intended to dial 411. She said she didn’t want her privacy to be invaded just because she dialled a wrong number but police officers arrived anyway (and I understand why). She refused to let them into her house because they did not have a warrant. So the policemen barged into her house and threatened her partner, beating him up in the process. The policemen later found that there was no problem at all in the house. All because of a wrongly dialled number.

Some of the stories leave me feeling confused as to whether I should be feeling symphathetic or to laugh out loud. I guess doing both of it is an option too..lolz.
