Bizarre news headline of the day

Oh the incomprehensible click-baiting and mangling of the English language to fit a headline! Just popped up on my newsfeed..
‘Moped rider hits cyclist with cat’
Oh how horrible to use a cat as an offensive weapon! However, it goes on to explain..
‘Viral cyclist and cat knocked off bike by ‘impatient’ moped driver’
So now the cat was on the bike, a casualty not an offensive weapon, but the cyclist has a virus? At least the moped driver was merely ‘impatient’, so that’s alright then.
Turns out the only innocent party was the poor cat!

It drives me nuts. I try to avoid opening articles just to see what the hell they are talking about.
The ’ ‘ were theirs, Alan, the story has gone now and I can’t recall why.
Some people would say he/she was, while others would not.
Basically, the majority of moped riders I come across, are impatient. In my opinion 😊.
