Court reporters hear all kinds of absolutely crazy stuff. It's a wonder that they're able to keep a straight face while doing their job. People have a tendency to say some extremely strange and rude stuff when they're in court. 

Twitter user @LilianaSegura, shared a powerful Twitter thread that boosts awareness on the struggles undergone by people trying to visit loved ones in the prison system. They ended up encountering all kinds of obstacles on what could've been an otherwise smooth visit. Bit of a nightmare. 

This guy was late to a job interview, and it ended up being his saving grace. Turns out the company owner was in the process of being arrested for a checking-related crime. Who'd have thought that one's inability to get to a job interview on time would end up paying off in the biggest of ways. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the worst defenses they'd seen made in court. The resulting insights offer rare glimpses at some criminally dumb criminals. These people were nowhere near ready for court, and their "defenses" speak volumes to that. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for lawyers to share their biggest surprises when it came to what was legal/illegal, upon going through law school and learning the ins and outs of the justice system. Some of these are the very definition of outdated, and it's a true wonder the laws are still standing. While others are just a little bit silly. Like, in France it's illegal to name a pig "Napoleon." 

It sounds like these neighbors were just hoping for the day they'd get their fence burned down by some careless fool. They went ahead and tried to collect big time from this guy, and ultimately fund a trip to Hawaii. However, the judge's moral compass was intact, and they ended up walking out over $9K in debt. 

Something went very wrong for these people at some point in their lives. We're not sure how you end up walking around with one of these hairstyles. They're criminally ridiculous. 

Oh Karen, just cause you don't have insurance doesn't mean you can rely on perfect strangers to pay for your car's damages. To make matters even better with this fine tale of Karen entitlement, it sounds like she found the original post that called her out, and wanted to sue the person over it. As it turns out, Karen doesn't have a whole lot of ground to stand on. 

Cletus got what was coming to him. This one has all the makings of a well-executed nuclear revenge story. These guys played the scumbag catfish thief for all that he was worth, and he didn't even know what hit him when it came down to it. 

These free legal tips shouldn't come as a surprise. Honestly, if these bits of advice are anything but funny to you, there's a decent chance you're gonna find yourself in jail for a dumb reason. Sure there are dumb laws that get enforced from time to time, but lawyers see tons of crazy and dumb stuff that no right-minded person should ever find themselves experiencing.

Someone on AskReddit asked for police officers to share the laws they feel uncomfortable about enforcing, because they don't necessarily agree with them. We've got responses like, how they don't particularly want to bust people out having a good time on the river, as long as they're not being total inconsiderate animals. As well as, angelic cops who literally carry nickels on them to feed the meters to avoid writing tickets. Wherever that is happening sounds like a hell of a place.
