This Week in WTF, August 9, 2013

M26_Taser– A Republican state representative from Texas and her husband are facing a lawsuit filed by an employee of the car dealership they own:

[Plaintiff Bradley] Jones filed a civil suit against state Rep. Patricia Harless and her husband Sam Harless, who are the owners of Fred Fincher Motors where Jones was employed for over three years. In the suit, Jones charges that Sam Harless provided other employees with a Taser — and then filmed them sneaking up behind Jones and zapping him with the device at various times over nine months. The videos were posted online but were subsequently taken down.

I don’t think I need to annotate that in any way.

– A sheriff’s deputy in Utah is facing assault charges because of this:

The deputy apparently “lost it” when he caught his wife having sex with his father in one of their children’s bedrooms last month.

I really don’t need to annotate this one, either. This is shaping up to be the easiest blog post I’ve ever written.

– Ancient Peruvians had their own Grumpy Cat.

– Equifax, one of the three major credit reporting agencies, allegedly failed, or refused, to fix incorrect information on an Oregon woman’s credit report. So she sued them. And won an $18.6 million judgment. To be clear, the information was really incorrect. Like, wrong++.

  1. Holy carp! How did you pick just one sentence from that Utah story?? Gotta tell you, this line jumped out at me too as fitting for your wtf theme: “[The father] then went to the kitchen, grabbed a large butcher knife and stabbed himself twice, puncturing his lung and slicing his liver.”

    Here’s hoping somebody’s putting aside a chunk of money to pay for all the therapy those kids are going to need after witnessing all this…
