Seems to happen at least once a month ...

See! You see what it feels like biatches!
You say "Whatever, do you what you want", so we do what we want.
Then...BAM!
Sucks doesn't it?

Mind games, they're no fun.

ya know.. we see sooo many of these you would think that if nothing else they would learn from each others mistakes!

Are they so coked up that they think they have the master plan??

I mean.. how stupid can you get?

But then... I wouldn't rob a bank. So I'm probably not the best one to critic his performance.

I hope and pray that for every hundred fools who are doing it wrong, one thief is pulling off a successful and lucrative heist.

/look for my name in the "Did it Wrong" section of The Bank Robbery Times some day in the future

havent we previously discussed that fail tagged articles should contain fail pics, thus making this a dumbass tag? or am i just remembering wrong?

neway, heres a pic of fail to make up for article.


/on that note, how might this happen anyway?

 
Greil 2008-08-30 10:46:11 PM

Fark you FAIL tag. DUMBASS would suffice here. FAIL tag should only be used in instances of clear and decisive failure, and only if the story is accompanied by an appropriate fail-worthy pic. Otherwise, keep the FAIL tag locked up like the gimp.

Is this a repeat, or was somebody this dumb more than once?

The first set of numbers are the bank's routing number. It's the second set that's your account number. As long as I can read United Bank of California, I can find out the routing number.

In short, I hope that's not your check.

Mi Identee haz ben stoled!

How bout your full name and address? Talk about FAIL!

So now we have a FAIL tag. Suggestion: how about a SUCCESS tag?

Naw, that might be antithetic to the FARK philosophy, and possibly interfere with the HERO tag..

Just thinking out loud...

The robber ran toward a Dodge Dynasty parked nearby. Oops. He had left his keys in the bank.

Poor man. He should be given a pass on this one, anybody stuck driving a Dodge Dynasty deserves a break.

But in general, aren't those two above factors the perfect way to misguide cops? They're so cliche that any investigator would be thrilled to be able to say "I've seen that in real life". I mean, it's a simple frame up.

Especially fun if the person framed will be deeply embarrassed when the cops show up at his home. Like after a date, or while in-laws are visiting. I know committing a felony to cock-block is a bit extreme but it's gonna be a gut buster.

BECAUSE IF THEY WERE SMART, THEY WOULDN'T BE CRIMINALS!

(at least not this kind of criminals)

Finally the use of a fail tag I can be proud of (they grow up so fast).

 
spqr2001 2008-08-31 07:59:54 AM  
*sigh* Still no fail pics, thus this should have been a dumbass tag

 
infie 2008-08-31 10:01:51 AM  
Fail tag fails to inspire posting. Can we get rid of the fail tag yet?

Er. That's... really mindboggling. I dunno, maybe it came through the other side of the house on a ramp or something?
