Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This couple that was in the same train as me, left their seats to change the diaper of their little baby.

Not only did they go away from their luggage, but they left two phones and a large tablet visible and unattended for quite some time!

Yeah, it's not the same there as in Scandinavia. My big sister lived in Spain for about 10 years and got robbed several times, while she has lived in Sweden the rest of her life and had never been robbed. I realise this can partially be because she didn't know what to do right in Spain to not get robbed, but the simple fact that it's something she (and mostly everyone else) in Scandinavia never need to learn or think about says something about the difference. I'm in no way saying Spain or anywhere else is a worse place or that the people there are worse, it's just a fact and there's no other meaning behind it.
