    If you lie on your stomach with your arms by your side you can be planking while you're ghosting.

    Win win for the Tik Tok populous.

    I know that as every generation gets older, they look at those coming behind and thinks that they are eejits, and I got up to my fair share of stupid sh!t as a young lad myself.

    But stuff like this and the washing tablet thing are so braindead that I can't wrap my head around it. In my day dares involved going into the old woman in the video shop to try and rent a copy of Basic Instinct, or sh0tgun a can of Harp, not cause serious physical harm to ourselves or others. (Although I do realise now that a can of Harp is probably more toxic than a washing tablet)

    The prank typically involves somebody lying in the road with a sheet over them to cause oncoming cars to stop or take notice. The reaction of the driver is then filmed and uploaded to social media platforms in the hope it will go viral.

    The Garda warning follows an incident in the south of the country in recent days where a girl was injured by a vehicle while “ghosting”.
    What she probably thought would happen; driver flees, terrified, and she gets millions of likes.
    What probably did happen; driver got a fright, and slammed the accelerator.

    It just seems that in this country anyway, a sizable number of kids born around 1999 and after , have become victim to either, the absolute worst parenting imaginable, an educational system more akin to a state babysitting circus and or they were born with some kind of brain condition...

    If I’d tried that or my friends I’d have and us probably have ended up in St. Patrick’s....or similar....

    If you want to be a prize cock and endanger your own life for the purposes of entertainment, attention seeking (WHICH IS WHAT IT IS) or whatever reason, go right ahead, do the decent thing first and leave enough money to get the poor victims a new bumper / suspension.

    So is the driver at fault if they drive over one of these imbeciles?

    Just when you thought a generation couldn't get any.more stupid.

    I did experience the craze for stepping off the path as a driver approaches to see if they'll stop or swerve.
    I did neither, and she looked ashamed and embarrassed as she hurridly dragged herself back onto the path. P#ssant.
