What’s The Worst Thing You’ve Ever Been Wrongly Accused Of?

By | February 3, 2012 | Ryan Sampson, The Morning Mash Up | No comments

Ryan read a story yesterday about a guy who probably had one of the worst weeks ever. Not too long ago some guy got arrested and gave police this man’s information. Well fast forward some time later and that info then led to a warrant which led to this innocent guy getting arrested for inappropriate touching of children that some other dude did. He spent 5 days in jail trying to convince the police that he wasn’t the man and that they had his information by mistake.

Let’s just say he got wrongly accused for one of the worst things you can get wrongly accused of.

Has this ever happened to you? Maybe not to this extreme but have you ever been wrongly accused of something?

What’s The Worst Pest Problem You’ve Ever Had?

Ryan is has some unwelcomed at his apartment recently. He’s never had them in this apartment before, but they’ve found a way in. Mice. So Ryan took precautions. He set up 12 mousetraps (ok, perhaps a little excessive). He called his landlord but unfortunately his landlord is in the hospital at the moment so for the time being he has to deal with it himself.

But Ryan is no stranger to pest problems. He lived in a basement apartment in Baltimore and it had a major slug problem. Slugs everywhere, awesome.

Stan lives in Pennsylvannia and the area where he is has a major problem with farm rats, the ones that are almost the size of cats.

Ryan was walking through the office the other day and overheard someone telling another co-worker that his dog ate his glasses. No really, the dog ate his glasses.

Nicole’s dog Phoebe has chewed up her glasses a bunch of times. Ryan’s friend once found his laptop all chewed up by his dog.

Does Your Job Have A Weird Rule About Dress Code & Appearance?

Disney just announced that their changing an appearance policy they’ve had in place for 60 years. They’re finally going to allow facial hair. It’s a little strange that they didn’t allow facial hair in the first place (although, mustaches can be a smidge creepy sometimes).

Luckily, here at Sirius XM there aren’t many weird rules regarding our appearance. We can pretty much dress how we’d like.

But what about your job? Does your company have any weird rules regarding appearance?

Do You Know Someone With A Weird Quirk That Makes Them Not Do Or Use Something Considered Completely Normal?

Ryan went to visit his family back in Pennsylvania not too long ago and had dinner with his family. He noticed something about his cousin that he had never noticed before. She was eating dinner with plastic silverware. When Ryan asked her about it, she said that she doesn’t use metal silverware. She won’t eat with it and hasn’t since she was a kid. She’ll even bring her own plastic silverware to a restaurant.

Ryan also knew someone who refused to make left hand turns when they drove. He never found out why but he knew that person did not turn left.

Do you someone with a weird quirk like that? They won’t do or use something completely normal and go out of their way to avoid it?
