This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays, a police officer got more than he bargained for when he responded to a report of a bee sting. There’s a heartwarming 911 call – not often you get to say that. And some diners at a Florida IHOP at 3 am just wanted to enjoy their damn pancakes.
Follow the jump to learn which stories made it to the list this week.
SWAT team go!
A group of firefighters and police responded to a report of a single bee sting in California last week. When they got there, they discovered things were about to get a lot worse.
The first responders were greeted by a swarm of nearly 40,000 bees. How they knew how many bees there were, I don’t know. But anyway, the bees stung a total of seven first responders and innocent bystanders with all but two of them going to the hospital.
One firefighter was stung a total of 17 times. Ouch.

Imagine this situation. It’s 2 am. Your six-week-old baby is screaming her head off. Suddenly you realise you’re out of baby formula. Your partner is out of town and the rest of your children are sleeping. None of your neighbours are answering your calls. What do you do?
Well, one desperate Utah mother who found herself in this situation did the only thing she could think of: call 911.
Her call for help was answered by officers from the local police force who swung by Walmart to pick up some baby formula.
It’s not often that a story about the police in the US makes you feel all warm and fuzzy but there you go.
International House of Penis?
From warm and fuzzy to icky and scuzzy. Patrons at an IHOP in Florida trying to enjoy a meal at 3 am – this story is already off to a great start – were approached by a man allegedly offering to show his genitals.
After allegedly putting the customers off their meals, the man, Allan Ibanez was asked to leave but continued to ask people if they wanted to see his junk and show them condoms.
Ibanez was arrested for disorderly conduct and two hours after he was released he was in trouble with the law again after he allegedly stole two donuts from a gas station.
After eating one of them in the store, he reportedly said he intended to provide the uneaten donut to police because he believed “all cops love donuts”.
