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 like this in (non-major city) Germany, with one exception: if you blink before locking your bike up, it’s gone. I’ve seen laptops in public areas sit undisturbed for hours, but almost everyone I know has had at least one bike stolen.

Same in Denmark, bikes are the one thing at risk. But that said, you just need to not be lazy/stupid and lock it to something solid, and bring it indoors overnight

That said, in rural Denmark, where I live, i have often forgotten my keys in my car and not even felt bad about it.

Actually my car door does not lock at all and hasn't done so for 3 years but leaving the key in the ignition could actually be illegal
