For Helping Strangers With Directions, Spokane Woman Gets Doused With Urine

For future reference, this is where that actually belongs.
​In another installment of Who are these people and when can we ship them to Zambia, a Spokane woman who stopped to help strangers with directions was rewarded by getting doused with a water bottle filled with urine.

Caroline Francis was driving home from the gym when three men in a van pulled up next to her car at a red light and gave her the international symbol for "roll down your window." Francis obliged, then gave the men directions. When the light turned green, however, she got drenched.

Francis is understandably pissed (sorry!). But police have yet to make any arrests. Let's hope when they do, these three fine citizens end up in front of a judge with very creative ideas about retribution.
