Dailey Bailey: The Term For Looking at Your Phone is “Phubbing” . . . and It’s Ruining Relationships

There’s a term for looking at your phone in social situations instead of talking to people. It’s called “phubbing.” It’s a combination of the words “phone” and “snubbing.”

As far as we can tell, the word “phubbing” has only been in the pop culture lexicon for like two days . . . and it’s ALREADY trying to steal yo girl.

According to a brand new study from Baylor University in Texas, it’s killing relationships.

The researchers say, quote, “We discovered that when someone perceived that their partner phubbed them, this created conflict and led to lower levels of reported relationship satisfaction . . . and higher levels of depression.”

And a LOT of people are phubbing victims. 46% of people say they’re in a relationship with someone who regularly phubs them. And 22% say it’s caused fights in their relationship.

Dailey Bailey: Want to Get Away With a Crime? Gain Some Weight

I’d never encourage you to commit a crime . . . but I would encourage you to get as chubby as possible, because chubbiness is next to godliness. And if a side effect of that chubbiness is becoming a master criminal, so be it.

A new study found people are the least likely to suspect that a chubby person committed a crime . . . so I guess if you want to get away with stuff, gain some weight.

For the study, researchers showed people videos of robberies with the robber’s face and body blurred out. Then they showed the people some potential suspects and asked them who they thought committed the crimes.

51% believed a muscular suspect did it . . . 37% believed it was one of the suspects who were average weight . . . and only 10% thought that an overweight person committed the crimes.

The researchers say, quote, “Stereotypes about body type may be getting in the way of justice. Our findings suggest that if you are an innocent suspect of a crime but happen to be muscular, you may be at a significant disadvantage.”

Dailey Bailey: A Guy at a Gas Station Tried to Kill a Spider With His Lighter . . . and Set the Place on Fire

Technically you’re not supposed to use your cell phone while you’re pumping gas, because it could spark and start a fire. Gas stations are THAT flammable. So . . . um . . . definitely don’t try this!

spider gasA guy was filling up his car at a gas station in Center Line, Michigan last week, when he saw a spider. And he decided to try to kill it by . . . using his lighter.

He tried to set the spider on fire, but he accidentally set the pump on fire instead, and it went up in flames.

He grabbed a fire extinguisher, and managed to put the fire out before it spread. But the pump was totally destroyed. Other than that, there wasn’t any real damage and there were no injuries.

The guy was embarrassed and apologized, and the station isn’t pressing charges. They say their insurance is going to cover the damage.

It’s not clear if the spider survived.
