Visitors messed up
"Living in Torbay, my wife and I frequently walk the length (1.5 km) of Long Bay Beach year round," writes Ron Czerniak. "During autumn, winter and spring we seldom see any rubbish on this beautiful beach or in the adjacent park. Same is true for most summer weekdays. But summer weekends are a different matter. "On our walk along the beach late on Saturday afternoon, this is what we collected. In considering that for most of the year it is mainly locals who use the park and beach, there is a strong argument for the conclusion that it is visitors (cretins) from other parts of Auckland who are the litter culprits."
A med student recalls a very unlucky/lucky guy who forgot his keys and was climbing into his own apartment through a window. "His cousin/friend thought the unlucky/lucky guy was an intruder and fired a gun at him. The bullet went into his mouth and cleanly exited the back of his neck. After surgery, he was fine in a few days, somehow missed all major structures. Didn't even chip a tooth. Really pissed at his cousin." (Via Ask Reddit)
