Yup, they keep their mutts outside on a heavy gauge chain in all weathers and would laugh for a week if you told them they could get an emotional support license for Tiddles...

I thought in 37 years police service I had seen the lowest a human animal can sink too, but this is about the worse.

Re: WTF in America
It wouldn't be so bad if this was the first time it happened, but there was a similar story a few years ago. The man who was raping the woman dying of an overdose didn't tweet his actions, however someone else took a still pic covertly and turned him in. Those people are out there.

There's me thinking this was a free country, obviously somebody had to pay for this.

Now it's just used as a plea bargain.

[QUOTE=Hotscot;11157972]I don't know if it's specifically a Southern California thing but I've often noticed an unusually frequent occurrence of old beat up trucks, about 30 years old, traveling up and down on the freeway piled wobbly high with mattresses.
I am told that there is quite an industry repairing and recovering used Mattresses, so the guys you see driving their old overloaded pickups are actually working for a living.

Re: WTF in America
Leaving money on the table at a restaurant to pay for thr meal and/or tip the server in cash. I know they usually bring the check in a cover you can put the cash in but whenever we leave I always half-expect them to come running after us because someone has swiped it between us leaving and the server/busser picking it up. I'd never leave money on a table in the UK.
