Weird and Wacky Wednesday: Volume 217

This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesday a woman wearing a D.A.R.E t-shirt is caught…with drugs, a vegan woman in the UK calls the mice infesting her house her ‘pets’ and a man tries his hand at a disguise to board a ferry he is banned from.

Follow the jump and learn more about this week’s weirdest and wackiest cases from around the globe.

Isn’t it ironic

I feel like by now we’ve all seen the acronym D.A.R.E, whether on t-shirts of people walking by or maybe during a TV commercial. Most of us also probably know what the logo is for, and if not, the letters stand for Drug Abuse Resistance Education, and the tagline is ‘keeping kids off drugs.’

So basically what it is, is an anti-drug organization. A woman in Texas was recently in the passenger seat of a car wearing a D.A.R.E t-shirt, and the ironic thing about it was that in the car, police found drugs.

The police officers found cocaine, a scale and unused baggies. I think we can all guess what was happening there. And on top of the drugs in the car, the woman admitted to police she had warrants out for her, and when they looked her up, they found it was for failure to appear in court on drug offences.

So ya, I’d say the t-shirt she was wearing, when looking at the whole situation, was pretty ironic.

Get rid of the mice

I feel like something most people can agree on is the fact that mice are pretty dirty, and do not belong in your house. And attached to that sentiment, when you develop a mouse infestation, the majority of people would hire someone to get rid of them.

But in the UK, an elderly lady, who is a vegan, has refused to take action to get rid of the mice in her house, which have been causing havoc for her neighbours as well. The reason she refused to take care of her mice infestation is she says it goes against her ethical beliefs.

Neighbours have complained that the rats are going to their houses too, and the smell is so bad, some have even be forced to move.

She was first charged in April by the local council after admitting to ignoring orders made for her to take care of the problem, and has since been charged again.

Some people make complaints when their neighbours are too loud, but can you imagine having to complain about a neighbour who lets a mouse infestation get out of hand?

Riding the ferry in disguise

When you get banned from somewhere, the only logical thing to do if you want to go there again is to obviously put on a disguise.

Well after getting banned from BC ferries, a man tried to disguise himself in a wig, scarf and sunglasses to attempt boarding one of the vessels. Not only did he have a physical disguise, the man also tried his hand at an accent, but it must not have been very good since the police couldn’t tell if it was British or Australian.

The man ran away after not cooperating with police, and left behind his wig. So I guess the moral is next time you’re going to disguise yourself to gain entry somewhere, make sure you look good and work on your fake accent at least enough to distinguish between British and Australian.
