Woman Enters Rampage With McDonald's Employees

Rampage With McDonald's EmployeesWoman Punches 2 Employees, Smashes Drive-Through Window

TOLEDO, Ohio -- A security video from a McDonald's in Ohio shows a woman punching two restaurant employees and smashing a drive-thru window because she couldn't get Chicken McNuggets.

The tantrum caught on tape in Toledo earlier this year shows the customer reaching through the drive-thru window, slugging one worker and then another. She then grabs a bottle out of her car and tosses it through the glass window before speeding off.

It happened early on New Year's Day. Police say Melodi Dushane was angry that McNuggets weren't being served, because it was breakfast time.

Dushane says she was drunk at the time. She was sentenced to 60 days in jail last month and ordered to pay McDonald's for the broken window.

The video was released Monday when it became public record.

Stupid News - Car Accident Due To Mouse Attack

Car Accident Due To Mouse AttackAKRON, Ohio - Kenneth Henry says he was just trying to help a friend feed his pet snake when he crashed his car with the snake's dinner in the car.

Maybe the three mice knew their fate. Henry says they got out of the box and caused him to crash the car.

Henry, 52, of Akron, was driving on Clinton Avenue when he says the mice he had bought at a pet store found their way out of the box they were in.

"All of a sudden I'm just riding, I'm two doors away from their house and they was all over me like this so I grabbed one I threw 'em down I hit the curb first and the bag jumped out and I couldn't control the car after that," Henry said.

Henry hit the curb then crashed into a tree.

Shanna Ferrell saw the crash and ran to help.

"I come running over to him and the mice you could see the mice he was doing this shooing it away and at first I thought, what? There was mice in the car and then we looked back and the mice was running everywhere," Ferrell said.

Kenneth injured his ankle.

He says the mice are to blame, but Akron Police saw it differently. They cited Henry for failure to control and driving without a license, though Henry claims he has a license in Oklahoma.

Henry pleaded guilty and paid a fine.

He says he won't be transporting mice anytime soon, unless they're in a container they can't escape from.

Note: our readers wrote to us to let we know that this was a hoax from the guys at theCHIVE.com. The girl who supposedly quit her job actually is a model /actress named Elyse Porterfield. Nice one!

The man who quit his job with a resignation letter written on a cake

World's Most Craziest Ways

Neil Berrett gave a two week's notice of his intent to resign. The letter was written in frosting on a full sheet size cake. The cake was delicious and it was well received.

"Dear Mr. Bowers,
During the past three years, my tenure at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard has been nothing short of pure excitement, joy and whim. However, I have decided to spend more time with my family and attend to health issues that have recently arisen. I am proud to have been part of such an outstanding team and I wish this organization only the finest in future endeavors.
Please accept this cake as notification that I am leaving my position with NWT on March 27.
Sincerely,
W. Neil Berrett"

He later submitted a paper resignation letter since it would be hard to file the cake away.

The designer who left a note on his computer at the office

World's Most Craziest Ways

Apparently this is a real resignation from a designer who left this note on his desktop. According to somebody who allegedly knew what was going on, he believed he was in a temp-to-hire position, and after three months of extra hours and butt-kissing, turns out it's just a temp position. He was a good worker too. I'd have recommended him. Too bad he burned his bridges.

That's it.” Mr Slater then activated the emergency exit and slid down the inflatable slide on to the tarmac. He then boarded a train to the terminal, stripping off his tie and discarding it to the astonishment of bemused onlookers. Slater was later arrested and charged with reckless endangerment and criminal mischief.

World's Most Craziest Ways

If you have ever sweated and worried over writing and handing in a resignation letter, then the latest 'Super Mario resignation game' created by a games dev over at 2K Games is sure to inspire and entertain in equal measure. The Australia-based games dev didn't want to do the boring old 'writing a meaningless letter' thing to tell his boss and colleagues he was throwing in the towel to try his luck in the world of independent game development. Instead, Jarrad Woods' announced his resignation in style, with a slightly reworked version of Super Mario Bros mashed up with his own title Polychromatic Funk Monkey.You can play Wood's resignation game yourself, directing Mario over those familiar blocks to the end of the level where a flashing "I QUIT" sign pops up.

The CEO who resigned on Twitter in Haiku

World's Most Craziest Ways

When you're on your way out of a job, there's a lot of fun ways to exit. This guy decided to tweet out a haiku. That's exactly what Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz did tonight. Here's his tweet : Today's my last day at Sun. I'll miss it. Seems only fitting to end on a #haiku. Financial crisis/Stalled too many customers/CEO no more

Schwartz had been serving as Sun's CEO since 2006; prior to that he was the company's COO. It has been known that he would resign for several days now following Sun's sale to Oracle, which the EU just approved. Schwartz has always enjoyed this type of public discourse, as he continued to blog in a time when very few CEOs would dare do such a thing. His latest post was on January 27, describing what he'd be doing next.
