Florida has earned the unfortunate reputation of being the progenitor of the "Florida Man" – an individual who commits really stupid crimes.

<p>"Every city has its equivalent. In Brisbane, QLD, Logan man is probably the most infamous. My father contacts around the Logan shopping centre, and has a story every other week of the police clashing with the locals. About two months ago, one tried to burgle a Hungry Jacks (Burger King), only to find that the restaurant, which was still doing drive through, was still staffed. Shocked, he ran over the road, stole a car and posted admit his cunning theft on social media, which the police just happen to monitor. This was all within 24 hours of him being released from prison. 'Logan man' is typically the start of a great headline in a Brisbane news feed. The Aussie slang for a lazy, willfully ignorant, possibly deranged miscreant is a bogan (and yes, bogan from Logan is a source of much mirth and many a derisive headline)."</p><p>– <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/j0m93u/non_americans_of_reddit_whats_your_equivalent_of/g6ugogl?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">harrytheb</a><br></p>Things "Polish Man" Would Do Or Has Done

Grade school teachers calling on students to answer a question should relate to the lesson, not to a student's personal life.
A fifth-grade student at Northport K-8 in Port St. Lucie in Florida is embarrassed to go back to school because a teacher asked if she was a lesbian in front of the whole class.
You might not think there are very many people who identify as LGBTQ who would choose to support Donald Trump...
...and you'd be right.
Massive Alligator Caught Strolling Down A Florida Street Has Everyone Saying Nope, Nope, Nope
Some of us love nature.
Some of us don't love nature all that much either.
We prefer it stays in its place.
An alligator walking down a busy city street is not our idea of a good time, thank you very much.
Guilty Chick-Fil-A Customers Can Now Donate To This LGBTQ+ Cause After Purchase To Alleviate Their Guilt
The subject of Chick-Fil-A is a bit of an uncomfortable one for a lot of people.
Their waffle fries may taste amazing, but it turns out that their anti-LGBT tendencies aren't as much of a thing of the past as they had lead consumers to believe.
