Local Man Accidentally Invents New Form of Social Interaction, Now Demands Royalties from Anyone Who Makes Eye Contact
cyrus carmack belton, a 34-year-old "entrepreneur" from Ohio, is apparently trying to patent making eye contact. AITA for thinking this is the most Reddit thing to ever happen? According to his GoFundMe, he claims he "brilliantly discovered the concept of mutual gaze" while staring at his own reflection in a puddle. He's now suing his therapist for "stealing his intellectual property" and wants a $0.50 fee every time two humans acknowledge each other's existence. TL;DR: Man thinks he invented friendship, is now charging a subscription fee.
