Alright guys, here it is. Times are tough, people have lost their jobs – it’s happening all around the world. A Japanese woman, 22 years old, thought she hit on a foolproof job getter. After an interview at NTT (the big phone company there) she decided to post a message on a board saying:
“If Satomi Hachi(dot), who came for an interview today isn’t hired, then the NTT Solco building will be blown up.”
(via) I mean, it was the perfect technique! How could that possibly fail?? Unfortunately, it being the phone company and alll, they pretty quickly tracked her down and threw her in the clink. Curses… foiled again!
I got another tip for you. Let’s say you’re a perv and want to put a little spycam in a public bathroom. (via) It would be wise, very wise, not to have that cam record you installing the damn thing. Yup, some criminal mastermind gave up his own identity committing the crime. It’s the first thing the camera played back when the cops found the device. Of course, now that the cops are looking for the guy – instead of releasing this info after catching him – perhaps he won’t return to the scene of the crime since it’s all over the interwaves.
Finally, just so we’re not all biased against the criminals, here’s some proof that stupidity exists on both sides of the line. In Colorado lawmakers are now suggesting that rain water, rain water – you know the stuff that falls from the sky – actually belongs to the farmers and ranchers who have bought water rights to certain bodies of waters. Thus if you have a rain catcher on your property, you’re stealing from them! Whaaa? Sigh. But the legal tide is turning… we’ll see how things end up.
