A Costco customer who bought a couch from the members-only retail giant decided to test the return policy by returning the 2 1/2-year-old couch because he “didn't like it anymore.”

“We don't like color anymore,” Jackie Nguyen said in a viral TikTok video. Without a receipt, the woman said, she knew when she bought the couch, which allowed a Costo employee to process the return and issue a refund.

“I told him the day I bought it. He looked it up on the computer and told me which one it was. That's what happened,” Nguyen said. “He asked me if I had anything. I told him I didn't like him anymore. They gave us a full refund to his card; so yes, it worked.”

The Clearwater Police Department said officers located 64-year-old Joseph Schifano at the corner of Sumo and Nagano. On February 1, a plane crashed into a mobile home, killing three people.

Clearwater police tried to go through the yellow caution tape when Schifano claimed to be a first responder via Click Orlando news site. When he couldn't provide authorities with evidence of his work after reviewing the tape, Schifano told police he was “just a nosy.”

Schifano again went under the yellow tape and moved around the crime scene while recording video on his cell phone, authorities said.

The man is charged with obstructing or resisting an officer without violence. Schifano was released from custody after posting a $500 bond.

A Maryland rat snake may have wanted to boost its metabolism.

A second possibility is that veterinarians at the Wildlife Center in Gaithersburg thought the round object in the stomach of the imported snake might have been a golf ball or a chicken egg. It was big enough that it had a hole in its skin.

In a post on Instagram, the vets noted that this was one of the most unusual cases they had ever received.

“This is common in rat snakes because golf balls and eggs are often mistaken for fresh chicken eggs,” the wildlife center notes. “In this case, the substance stayed in the snake's stomach for so long that a hole appeared in the snake's skin.”

“He (the vet) then sewed up the stomach and repaired the hole left on the underside of the snake,” the report said. “The snake has been with us since the operation and has fully recovered. He will spend the rest of the winter with us and come home in the spring!”
