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!

Same in Seoul. As a white guy from NYC it blew my fucking mind to see people just leave their stuff at cafes off busy streets. I don't leave my pockets unzipped yet alone leave anything I'm not actively trying to throw out unattended.

I've seen some videos of Russian tourists stealing stuff in Korea and it made national news. Here you can't get the police to file a report.
