Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: Volume Thirty Two

This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays, we explore the depths of human frustration. First, we see how an overly competitive workplace can drive some to do terrible misdeeds. Then, we look at how really bad parking can also trigger murderous rage. Finally, to lighten things up, we look at the case of a strange arrest for public intoxication and what the fallout of that is for the public in West Virginia.

All this and more below the jump!

I was very kindly asked to review the book, and post my thoughts on my blog. So without further ado, here is my review of Impaired Driving and Other Criminal Code Driving Offences: A Practitioner’s Handbook by Karen Jokinen and Peter Keen.
