Original English title:Shout out to the white-car-drivin' anus that chose to blow through the red at the pedestrian crosswalk only to get stuck at another red 80 meters down the street.

This absolute genius slow rolled to the crosswalk while I was halfway across, shoulder checked, and then put the hammer down and tore ass through while staring at me very confused as to why it probably looked like I wanted to murder them, only to get stuck at the next light as soon as I made it across. Carma is a bitch

EN: $25. Need to buy a CLE ticket too. I wanted to see Super Troopers. I'll wait until it's over. - Wow, so buying a CLE ticket gets you a free movie ticket? Or is it just an admission ticket, and then you pay another price for the movie ticket?
EN: wow, so would buying the cle ticket = getting a free movie ticket? Or just a pass to enter and then pay another price for a movie ticket - $25 is for the admission and the movie ticket, you need to note when you get the ticket that you want to see the movie and not just enter the room

10. People walking into stores, stealing stuff, and walking out is out of control
Original English title:People just walking into stores, stealing stuff, and walking out is getting out-of-control
Post summary:Almost every time I go to a shopping store, grocery store, or convenience store, someone steals something and walks away. Like nobody cares? Is this just the new normal? I know store employees don't want to put themselves in danger, or liability issues for the company if someone gets hurt, but it's getting a bit crazy. The police can't do much about it. They might show up 2 hours after someone steals $2,000 worth of product, take a report, and then move on.
