Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This couple that was in the same train as me, left their seats to change the diaper of their little baby.

Not only did they go away from their luggage, but they left two phones and a large tablet visible and unattended for quite some time!

It's not that bad in a train, as people can't just run away before the next stop. You wouldn't have this level of trust in a street cafe for instance.

Just today some bastard stole my headlight from my bike. Like two hours ago. Finland. We're known as rather honest.

But the junkie who desperately needed a 10e flashlight is welcome to have it, the pathetic sack of shit.

Seen this plenty of times in the US, people leave their purses and stuff unattended in shopping carts etc

It’s a trap, they took their other device and will beat the piss out of them when they use “find my phone” or whatever. They’re stuck on a train with them until the next stop…

You would have to be an absolute muppet to steal an electronic device (or anything since AirTags exist) on a still moving prison.

Don't use "muppet" as an insult. The Muppets are awesome.

You are a muppet.

There are trustworthy and untrustworthy places in every country. If your train is safe, you're lucky to be there. If it's a couple of drunk idiots that fell asleep in the bathroom, do them a favor and watch their stuff until they wake up.

You didn't report the unattended luggage?
