This fun thread sheds light on all the ridiculous things that court reporters overhear while on the job. It's a true wonder that they can keep a straight face. People come to court to air out all kinds of mind blowing grievances.

You just can't make this kind of cluelessness up. Kid was clearly not ready with the excuse.
Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the important details that clients neglected to tell lawyers. If anything it's a fascinating study in how important it can be to not leave anything out, if you ever find yourself hiring a lawyer. The devil really is in the details. Just don't lie to your lawyer.

This guy just took home a huge L. Especially the moment that his girlfriend literally tells him to stop crying while he's off camera.
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 fed up Ohio teacher had enough of her students stealing, swearing, and destroying property. So, she speaks out with a powerful and intelligent message to the community.
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.

This footage shows a Tulsa police officer texting moments before a gnarly crash. Apparently the police officer was taken tot the hospital with minor injuries, and the other driver wasn't injured. All in all, definitely not the kind of stunt you should be pulling as a police officer.
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 Some of these are the very definition of outdated, and it's a true wonder the laws are still standing.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.
And the wife didn't know anything about this? Okay.
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.
