We’ve all come out with terrible excuses in our lives, but come on…

The Merseyside Police Roads Policing Team Twitter account shared an image on Tuesday of an excuse a driver gave for texting while driving.

Even though wallabies are native to Australia, you’d be hard-pressed to find them casually hopping around in the city.

It’s perhaps why police got quite the surprise when a swamp wallaby was found bouncing along the Sydney Harbour Bridge, one of the city’s busiest roads, early Tuesday morning.

Traffic controllers and police monitored the wallaby’s trip down the highway, where it made an exit at the Cahill Expressway.

We know better safe than sorry is the old adage, but if you call an ambulance out for a statue this idiom loses its wisdom a bit.

An ambulance in the UK received a call about a person in a park. The caller was worried that they were sitting perfectly still and covered in snow. It turns out there was a very good reason for that.

Next, call from a member of the public who was concerned that there was someone sat on a bench, not moving and covered in snow!
Luckily, on our arrival, it turned out to be a statue! 🙈👍🏻🚑 pic.twitter.com/mIBHmse4DF
