LPT: Remember that many of the stories that get posted / become popular do so because they are unusual. They do not necessarily represent what is normal or common, even if they get posted about often. When you see story after story about certain things happening to other people, it can be natural to assume that what happened in the story is a common occurrence. But the exact opposite is often true - they get posted because they are uncommon.
