Honorable mention

We had a little tough time trying to narrow it down

Remember the volatile odor edition?

Yes

That was with the blobs that kept showing up on

beaches in Canada

Disgusting

A volatile odor edition did not make it

I can't believe it didn't make the cut

It didn't make the cut

We also had the Cindy Lu Hu edition

of this shouldn't be a thing

That was a fun one

About the trend of people going in for plastic surgery

So they can have a nose

Like Cindy Lu Hu

In how the Grinch still Christmas

Good

Not quite good enough

Yeah, you should listen to that one

Not so much about the Grinch

It's more online weirdness

All right

Also the missing shoes edition which involved weasels

Actual weasels

Now people stealing shoes we call them weasels

Real weasels

Real weasels stealing shoes

Also very, very good

Very like that one a lot

Honorable

Honorable mention

Calvin Let's hit

This shouldn't be a thing

I didn't see that coming edition

This shouldn't be a thing

And again, if you ever have a thing

You think should not be sent it into Gregorney at Jane says at civic media dot us j a n e s a y s at civic media dot us

Our friend Andrew from Maine sent this in

headline reads

Amulance ambulance hits Oregon bicyclist

Russia's him to hospital

Then sticks him with an 1800 dollar bill

We're coming to America

That just sounds like the most American thing ever

71-year-old William Hesh was riding his bicycle

When he got hit by an ambulance it turned into him

So the ambulance has falls

It is the ambulance has fault

Fractured his nose

Left him with scrapes and other injuries

All across his body

He's filed an almost million dollar lawsuit

Against the ambulance provider after it scooped him up

Took into the hospital and then build him

Yeah

Sounds like the most American thing ever

Mr. Hesh was filled up was built

$1862 for the ambulance ride

That's only among the $47,000 in medical expenses

He's already racked up so far

And another 50 grand worth of medical costs

He expects down the road

The Columbia River fire and rescue decline to comment

Shocking

All-stayed fire and casualty insurance company

Also did not respond to a request for a comment

This is from OregonLive.com

According to the lawsuit Mr. Hesh was peddling

Through a small town in October of 2022

He and the ambulance were going the same direction on a street

That's a mixture of homes and businesses

The ambulance turned to make a right turn onto the another street

And crashed into Mr. Hesh

Destroying his bicycle

And again, which then the ambulance scooped him up

After they hit him

Took him to the hospital

And then build him for the ride

I don't even mean

Hey folks, if you get hit by an ambulance

Make sure before they take you to the hospital

That they're got you got full coverage

And the hospital you're going to is in network

I mean

Well and but according to the police reports

The driver who struck Mr. Hesh

They were only going between two and 10 miles an hour

So it's not like they were racing to an emergency

No

They just weren't paying attention

They were paying attention

But 10 miles an hour in a car

Can do some serious damage to someone

On a bike or on foot

And

I'm just hoping that in in this story

That's part of like the procedure where you have to like

In order to get you like

Like in order to get my insurance money

I have to sue you and

Stephanie

That's the story

And but still

I don't know how you can even remotely justify

Charging him for this ride

No, well he wouldn't have needed the ride

If you hadn't hit him

Your insurance your insurance

Probably going to go out because of this and it would have like

You know like the idea that

Everything in their business will be

Raised or premiums or liability all that stuff

Because you hit them give the guy a free ride at least

Absolutely

So so we will try and keep you informed on how this lawsuit goes

Yeah, hopefully I smell a subtle one

I think you're absolutely right

And thank you again to Andrew for main

For sending that in that wraps wraps up today's episode of

This shouldn't be a thing

That was today's honorable mention for this shouldn't be a thing

And again if you ever have a thing you think shouldn't be

Send it into us. We would love to see it. Jane says at civic media. US. We've gotten

Suggestions from individuals. So please reach out. Let us know because we can only scour so much news
