The Minnesota woman wanted to have a picture with the oversized tailpipe.

Because a summer music festival is the best occasion to show off your ‘talents,’ we give you the fascinated story of Kaitlyn Strom, a 19-year-old girl from Litchfield. Nicknamed The Minnesota Tailpipe Girl, Kaitlyn went to Hell and back again after getting her head stuck in an oversized tailpipe.

Firefighters Had to Use a Power Saw to Cut the Oversized Tailpipe

If you’re wondering what teens are up to this days, here’s one for the history books. On Friday, on the very first day of Winstead’s Winstock Music Festival, the Fire Department was called to help a person in need. Little did they know that they will end up helping someone who firmly believes that YOLO is a legit way of living.

Here’s what happened. Ms. Strom was attending the Winsted music festival for the first time. At one point during the festivities, Strom left her group to go on an adventure. That’s when she saw a monstrous pickup truck with an equally impressive tailpipe.

And because the only reasonable thing you could do when admiring a beautiful car is to put your head through the exhaust pipe, that’s what Strom did.

Kaitlyn later told a reporter that the idea of putting her head through the oversized tailpipe sounded like fun. Getting her head into the exhaust was easy, but getting it out was an entirely different story, the Litchfield teenager added.

Conclusion

Well, to make a long story short, a partygoer called the Fire Department after Strom got her head stuck in the oversized tailpipe. One power saw, and 45 minutes later, the Minnesota teenager was freed. And if you thought that was the end of it, then sorry to disappoint you.

Strom insisted on having her picture taken with the fireman and the oversized tailpipe.

Florida woman ‘trashed’ by social media for shaving legs in public pool.

Because going to a public pool to swim or get a tan is just too mainstream, we give you the story of a woman from Florida who managed to upset the entire social media community with her ‘recreational’ activities.

Florida Woman Didn’t Seem to Mind Being on Tape

And the award for stupidest things to do while at a public pool goes to a Florida woman wearing a snakeskin imitation body swimsuit. The lady in question was recently captured on tape while she was shaving her legs and other body parts.

Unfortunately, we don’t know the lady’s name or where the incident took place, but we do know that the social media community blew up as soon as the minute-long movie hit the Internet.

What’s even more baffling is that no one seems to notice that the woman was shaving, an event the children that swam next to hear.

As the smartphone movie reveals, the Florida woman, who was seated on the edge of the public swimming hole, didn’t even seem to pay too much attention to the person filming here despite the explosive laughter in the background.

Apparently, by the end of the video, the Florida woman began tackling other body parts. Fortunately, the cameraman or the camerawoman had more than enough sense to switch off the device.

Conclusion

Of course, it wasn’t long until social media reacted. After being uploaded to Facebook, the video received roughly 55,000 upvotes and 1,600 comments.

As you would expect, users went from calling the lady a total D-bag to saying that Florida is “the trashiest state in the Union.”

One user who mentioned that he used to work for a public swimming pool, wrote that these places usually attract the worst of the worst. As of Monday, the video can be viewed on Reddit.

Following the excruciating death of Rebecca Zeni, a former TV assistant, and New York model, her family intends to file a lawsuit against the profit-oriented nursing home, accusing the staff of deliberately allowing the 93-year-old woman died. The family’s attorney stated that the Lafayette-based nursing home failed to report three scabies outbreaks to the Health Department.

Rebecca Zeni Died After Being Eaten Alive by Norwegian Crusted Scabies

According to the medical examiner’s report, Rebecca Zeni’s cause of death was staph septicemia caused by Norwegian crusted scabies. More specifically, millions of mites burrowed in the woman’s skin causing a Staph A infection.

The woman’s family is devastated by Zeni’s passing and blames the nursing home’s management for allowing the woman to die in excruciating pain.

Mike Prieto, the family’s lawyer, declared that there’s more than enough evidence file a lawsuit against the Shepherds Hill nursing home.

According to the facts, the same nursing home had a long history of whitewashing scabies outbreaks. The first incident occurred 2013, three years after Rebecca Zeni was admitted into the nursing home. Approximately ten staff members and an equal number of patients were treated for scabies symptoms, but the administration failed to report the incident to Georgia’s Department of Health.

Two similar incidents occurred in 2014 and the following year and in both instances the administration failed to report. More than that, the family’s lawyer stated that Shepherds Hill nursing home refused to take preventing measure after each outbreak.

Conclusion

Zeni’s first symptoms surfaced in fall 2013. First, it was a simple rash, but very soon, the woman’s condition began to deteriorate. The woman passed away on the 2^nd of June 2015.

However, this is far from being the end of her story, as the family intends to pursue the nursing home in court for the death of Rebecca Zeni.
