This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesday a thief in Spain tried to drive a stolen car up a staircase to escape the police, two fans got kicked out of a Blue Jays game for getting to third base, and finally, a fast food customer got violent after a restaurant got his order wrong.
Follow the jump and learn more about this week’s weirdest and wackiest cases from around the globe!
You can’t take your car on the train sir
A car thief in Madrid tried to take a page out of the Italian Job and drive a stolen car through a subway station to escape being caught.
But the escape from the police clearly didn’t go as planned since the man was arrested after getting stuck in the car halfway up the stairs in the middle of the Metro station.
According to the police, the car had been stolen from a parking lot and while the driver was trying to flee the police he broke through numerous glass doors and eventually made his way to the stairs where the car got stuck.
He was unable to exit the car and escape on foot because he couldn’t open the door due to the railings trapping him in. Police say there was cocaine found in his system.
I guess when movies do the whole ‘don’t try this at home’ speech we should listen, because driving through a subway station is actually not as easy as Hollywood makes it look.
Sex in the nosebleeds
Now for this next story, there are so many puns to make, but I’ll just start by saying it in simple terms. In Toronto, during a Blue Jays game, two fans were escorted out of the stadium after they were spotted having sex.
That’s right while a baseball game was happening down on the field, in the stands, two people were making it to the third base of their own…sorry I just couldn’t resist!
Other fans around the area took videos of the incident and there is also footage of police and event security walking up to the couple and escorting them away.
According to new articles on the incident, the couple was not arrested, nor has been charged with anything. I wonder if the police thought it was punishment enough to have to walk by everyone after being caught in the act on the way out. Or perhaps people saw it as a home run! Okay, the last pun I promise!
How dare you get my toppings wrong
I think we’ve all gone through the disappointment of ordering from a fast food place and opening up our meal to find they’ve got part of the order wrong.
But personally, I’ve never gotten so angry I thought I needed to resort to violence.
But a man in Maryland thought the garlic dip and pepperoncini missing from his Papa John’s order required him to drive to the restaurant and start an argument with an employee.
And just arguing wasn’t enough for the man, he even went as far as going behind the counter, grabbing a metal pizza paddle and then started hitting the employee.
To defend himself, the employee picked up a pizza spear and stabbed the man. The angry customer was fine but was charged with misdemeanour assault. In my opinion, no missing toppings are worth an assault charge, but to each their own!
