TGIS: Thank God It's Schadenfreude! (163)

By Colin Samuels

This week's joy in the misfortune of others comes courtesy of KITV (via Quizlaw) (from Monday, April 14; link good at time of posting):

The Honolulu Police Department asked for the public's help in Monday in tracking down a man who tried to rob a bank.

. . . .

A man walked up to a teller with a note demanding money, then past [sic] a second note for a withdrawal.

"The note says 'This is a robbery.' She takes a little while. What he does is he gets another note, and this time it's a withdrawal slip for a certain amount of money. She asks for him for ID. He gets flustered, and he flees," Sgt. Kim Buffett said.
