A hyperactive garbage truck arm, sneeze into a trombone, no excuse, and more.

In Jackson, New Jersey, township police posted on Facebook that officers have had to help motorists led to the wrong place by the Waze navigation app. An ad in the Waze navigation app is misdirecting motorists headed to Atlantic City’s Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa into the wilderness of New Jersey’s Pine Barrens, the Associated Press reports. Motorists who followed the directions into the Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area became stuck on unpaved roads.

In Miami, Florida, a cold snap has caused the National Weather Service in Miami to issue an unusual weather alert. “This isn’t something we usually forecast, but don’t be surprised if you see Iguanas falling from the trees tonight as lows drop into the 30s and 40s. Brrrr,” the service tweeted, according to the AFP. An infographic attached to the tweet added that although the cold-stunned creatures may appear to have met their end, “they are not dead.”

I think the arm of this garbage truck needs to be adjusted. If you can’t view the below video, try https://youtu.be/OxmQU9Dvb7c.
