The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Being startled is a long way from being terrorized. While it may be a translation thing, it's more likely this was a clickbairt title. "Woman was Startled by a Robot Waiting Patiently Behind Her" just doesn't have the same punch.

"Old Woman Overreacts" could be another title.

Me. I help out at a local village social club full of old women and, oh yes, do they love you overreact and complain about everything. Everything!!
"Did you hear about that fire that happened down the road? It made a right smell, it did. It was caused by a tumble dryer, you know. Back in my day it wouldn't have happened, we didn't use dryers. We used our hands and hung things the line, that's the proper way to dry clothes. Kids these days always trying to do things wrong.
And did you hear about Glasgow train station catching fire? A vape store caused it. It wouldn't have happened back in my day we didn't use vapes, we smoked. Kids these days always wanting to yada yada blah blah moan moan blah.."
