Your idiotic misuse of 911.
A 27-year-old guy in Cleveland called 911 the other day . . . because his sister touched his laundry.
It sounds like he was doing all his laundry at once, because he was on his third load and his sister was sick of waiting. So she took his clothes out and started doing her own laundry.
Both of them live with their grandmother, and it apparently started a big argument. So the brother called 911 and tried to get the cops involved.
Police did show up but told him that a laundry dispute wasn't a good enough reason to call them.
They could have charged him with misusing 911, but they let him off with a warning. They told the two of them to work it out like adults.

Every "Community" fan knows the "six seasons and a movie" line from season two. AND finally seven years later, a movie is happening.
It'll be made for Peacock with the same cast from season six. So: Joel McHale (Jeff), Danny Pudi (Abed), Alison Brie (Annie), Gillian Jacobs (Britta), Jim Rash (Craig), and Ken Jeong (Ben).
No word on if Donald Glover (Troy) or Yvette Nicole Brown (Shirley) will come back. And it's highly unlikely that Chevy Chase would, since his character was killed off, and everybody ended up hated working with him.
At New York Comic Con, creator Dan Harmon said, quote, "I think that Donald is coming, based on word of mouth, but it's just the deal isn't official or wasn't official.
"It would be difficult to really commit to doing this thing without Donald. So I believe he is coming back."
As for Chevy Chase, Harmon said, quote, "I don't even know if it's legal for him to come back. That may be out of my hands. There may be something I signed for with an insurance company."
Community ran for six seasons from 2009 to 2015. The full series will also be hitting Peacock, but no word when.

Because everything else has been settled and is fine, TikTok poses the debate - What's the "correct" way to put your socks and shoes on?
It sounds like a dumb question, but it turns out people do it differently. Like, do you put both socks on first? And do you tie both shoes at the very end, or complete one shoe before you put the second one on?
There are lots of possible combinations, but these three seem to be the main ones people are talking about . . .Someone actually polled people, and thousands voted.
Sock, sock . . . shoe, tie . . . shoe, tie. Most popular.
Sock, sock . . . shoe, shoe . . . then tie both at the end. Together these two make up 90%
Sock, shoe . . . sock, shoe . . . tie, tie came in third

Have you ever had a eureka moment while taking a shower? Like, you figured something out or came up with a great idea? A new study pinpointed why those "shower thoughts" happen . . .
Researchers at the University of Virginia found we tend to be more creative when our mind wanders, but it can't wander too much. So something like showering is perfect, because it's a fairly mindless activity, but not totally brainless.
An extreme example would be watching paint dry. They say something like that is too boring to spark creativity. But everyday tasks like showering or going for a walk let your mind wander the perfect amount.
They didn't actually test it by making people shower. For some reason, they made them watch the diner scene from "When Harry Met Sally".
They asked people to come up with ideas for how to use a brick and a paperclip, and had them watch three-minute videos while they brainstormed.
One was the diner clip, which was categorized as a "moderately engaging" video. The other was a "boring" clip of two guys folding laundry. And they found that people came up with more ideas while watching the movie clip.

"Halloween Ends" is in theaters and streaming now, and if you haven't heard by now, it IS the end of the franchise for Jamie Lee Curtis.
At New York Comic Con last weekend, she said, quote, "You know endings are a [B-word], but so is Laurie Strode. So, I'm ready to end it, but I'm gonna miss you so much."
She also admitted that she owes, quote, "everything good in my life" to "Halloween", and she's okay with the fact that it's what she'll be most remembered for.
Quote, "One of these days, hopefully not tomorrow, but I'm 64 . . . I mean, do the math, it's not in my favor . . . sooner than later it's gonna say three words: 'Halloween' actress dies. My point is, it is the permanent ink of my life."
Also opening is Terrifier 2 ..great..another scary clown movie.
