The Supreme Court of Canada agreed Thursday to hear the case of a woman who was ticketed and arrested after she refused instructions to hold onto an escalator handrail.
Bela Kosoian was in a subway station in the Montreal suburb of Laval in 2009 when a police officer told her to respect a pictogram with the instruction, "hold the handrail."

The US might be the butt of jokes for frivolous litigation, but this case made it to literally the highest court in the country.

All because a woman didn't want to hold the handrail on an escalator.

You can't make this **** up.
