Man Fined For Having Gas And Yes You Read That Right
This story is just stupid but the headline cracked me up so I had to share! A man in Vienna has been fined 500 euros ($565) for breaking wind loudly in front of police. Yup. The man farted loudly.
A local Vienna newspaper reported that the fine stemmed from an incident on June 5 and that the offender was fined for “offending public decency.” Guessing this dude must have been really loud!
City police wrote on Twitter that “of course no one is reported for accidentally ‘letting one go.’” They added that the man had behaved “provocatively and uncooperatively” during an encounter with officers that preceded the incident.
He got up from a park bench, looked at officers and “let go a massive intestinal wind apparently with full intent,” they said. “And our colleagues don’t like to be farted at so much.” HA! Who would?! Citizens and the police should have an issue with this dude!
Police noted that the decision could be appealed. More details can be found here. I’d love to be a fly on the wall at that hearing! LOL! I hope there’s a follow up story!
