Other People's Stupidity - Feb. 21st, 2013

A British employee of a novelty company that makes stress balls obviously didn't take his work home with him: he was charged with assaulting his boss and threatening "to cut" co-workers after he was fired. According to the Daily Mail, 44-year-old Darren Baldwin posted bail and faces sentencing for the incident at the factory where he used to ship the stress-reducing items.


A man found himself in handcuffs Monday afternoon, after allegedly sparking a fight with his girlfriend because he had an itch he just had to scratch.
The Sheriff’s Office tells WWSB-TV, 30-year-old Ron Howard was on his couch when he casually scratched himself. Ronald’s girlfriend allegedly flew off the handle over his "disgusting" behavior. Howard told cops his girlfriend punched him in the eye and he pushed her away while defending himself. During the fray, the girlfriend reportedly suffered a scratch on her ankle, which was enough proof responding deputies needed to arrest him for misdemeanor battery.

• A mom in New York, has been charged with five counts of endangering the welfare of a child after allegedly throwing her teenage son what his friends undoubtedly thought was the GREATEST 16th birthday party in the history of EVER!

The Glens Falls Post-Star reports the 33-year-old mother allegedly arranged for a pair of strippers to entertain her son and his friends at a party in a private room at a local bowling alley in November, however proof of the "entertainment" was slowly leaked to the authorities via social media posts.
One of the posted pics purportedly shows a guest seated in a chair, with a bra-and-thong-clad stripper upside down on top of him. Cops say guests as young as 13 were on hand at the party.

Maybe the mom was just teaching her son the type of girls to stay away from. A good lesson to learn early on. She’s mom of the year right now to me…

• Two brothers celebrating a 75 thousand dollar Kansas lottery win Friday night accidentally touched off an explosion in their house, as they enjoyed the lovely refreshments of weed and meth…

According to WPXI-TV, fuel from butane torches the men were using to light a bong leaked and was ignited by their stove's pilot light, causing an explosion that left a 27-year-old man with second-degree burns on his upper body. His girlfriend dropped off the injured man at the local hospital, while still wearing a Kansas State Lottery t-shirt

Meanwhile, cops served a search warrant at what was left of the residence, and arrested the other brother, who admitted to possessing the drugs after trying to flee the scene.

It would be rather funny if the judge set bail at 75 thousand dollars…
