    Yeah, I saw that, but can't see any evidence elsewhere. I'm hoping it's more likely someone is taking the piss with the website than people actually doing this.

    On The Star, Sun and Mirror so it must be true. Nothing that the Golden Generation does would surprise me

    Cancel culture/tide pod challenge generation. Anyone caught doing this should be prosecuted for endangering the lives of motorists.

    She will probably be awarded 100k in court and the poor driver gets the blame.

    Let them do it. Let them get long term injuries - see how funny to them it is then. We all do silly shít when young but this takes the biscuit.

    It isn't just themselves that they hurt. Any driver that hurts them will also be affected.

    A driver could swerve off the road to avoid them and end up being hurt too.
    That's the problem with social media, dumb stunts like this can spread like wildfire because of it.

    I thought ghosting was when ya go for a poo and get up and look down the jacks and no sign of a poo

    It's when you go for a poo and come back to your date/girlfriend and they are gone, have blocked you on social media and go on like you never existed

    I reckon the idea is that the driver stops gets out of the car and pulls back the sheet to see a'dead body'.
    The dead body suddenly sits up and shouts Boo! The driver jumps out of their skin. The corpse runs off laughing and the twerp filming from the bushes uploads it to social media.

    I hear ya...so the take-home message is “be very suspicious of any shroud-enveloped corpse-resembling entities lying in the middle of the road.Best drive around them and not disturb their siesta al fresco”::):)

    The Darwin Awards 2020 was looking a bit thin for honourable mentions, good to see some people are helping to rectify that.

    I hope everyone who feels the urge to lie on the street under a sheet, does so.

    Gets them out of the gene pool.

    Fair point. I'm not the target demographic. And I don't have/know how to search tiktok or snapchat or whatever.. I'd expected google to yield something though.
