At the end of each week, we look back at some stories of really stupid people doing really dumb things during the Idiot of the Week segment. Here are this week’s nominees, presented by Free Beer, Hot Wings and Joe.
Free Beer: Back in 2011, Scott Griffin and his friends went to a haunted house attraction in San Diego. While waking to the parking lot after walking through the house, a man with a running chainsaw jumped out to scare them one last time. Griffin, absolutely terrified, turned to run and fell, severely injuring both of his wrists.
Two years later, Griffin sued the haunted house for negligence and assault. The case was dismissed, but Griffin appealed and it was eventually determined that the chainsaw incident was well within the confines of a haunted house experience. Griffin lost, because of course he did. You can’t sue a haunted house for being “too scary.”

Hot Wings: Hopefully you’ve never been robbed while working at a store before, but if you find yourself in that situation in the future, we have some advice for you to follow.
On Saturday, a group of would-be robbers walked into a Belgian e-cigarette store and told the employee to empty the register. On a whim, the employee told the robbers to come back later, as he’d have more money to hand over to them at that time. Shockingly, the idiot robbers agreed with his premise and left! They returned a little while later, but the man sent them off again, telling them to come back at 6:30 when the store closed. They listened to him AGAIN, but when they returned at 6:30, they were met by plain clothes officers in the store who quickly arrested them!

Joe: It’s no secret people have some distaste for millennials but with people like this idiot, we can’t really blame them!
This 26-year-old vegan and social media “influencer” Chris Lavish loves $15 CBD-infused lattes and thinks tattoos are relaxing but don’t make eye contact with him because he thinks that is “invasive.”
In a recent interview with The Cut, Lavish said he always wears his favorite pair of “big Guccis” so people can’t look into his eyes saying it makes him feel, “Like, who let you into my eyes? Who let you in there?”
Now he is being ridiculed on social media, rightfully so, and is just a giant idiot in general.
