Common sense is not so common. ~ Voltaire
I was checking out the news today, and came across an article entitled Teen Arrested in Montana After Mom's Body Found in Freezer and I had to read it, of course...
But two things made me scratch my head in wonder:
When officers entered the Hauck home they found a bloody mattress, shells from a .22-caliber rifle and a trail of blood leading to the body in the freezer.
Well okay, the killer's an idiot, clearly... except, check this out:
Family members said Jeremy Hauck planned on attending Weber State University in Utah to study forensic science. "He wanted to be a crime scene investigator," Umphrey said.
What!?!
Even I -- merely an avid NCIS, The Closer, Criminal Minds fan -- would know better than to leave a crime scene looking that obvious. But this guy wanted to be a CSI!
Sorry. Just mystified me that criminals are really that stupid. It was almost (but not quite) as ridiculous as this guy:
Inmate signs real name to bomb hoaxes
I'm telling you, if I ever wrote a character doing that, I'd never get published. As always, truth really is stranger (and stupider, apparently) than fiction.

I'm constantly amazed at the stupidity of people. Your examples are like the idiot I heard about who paid for his drugs using a check. *g*
